Boticas Hotel Art & SPA

Great value for a spa property. Front staff very helpful. Loved the spa, hot tub, sauna and pool. Restaurant on site - free breakfast with lots of choices Secure underground parking

Restaurant staff were a little inexperienced yet helpful.

Hotel is beautiful, filled with the art of a decorated Portuguese painter. (His son, the owner, is the architect of the building.) The staff were welcoming, far beyond helpful, despite there being some language challenges. The manager even invited me to go to a comedic play with her and her friends at the nearby municipal auditorium on the last night of my stay. The spa and the treatments I received were marvelous, so stress-relieving. The masseuse, Jacqueline, was very professional, yet charming and caring. The food at breakfast at at the restaurant was delicious and generous: the wait staff aware and helpful to meet some of my dietary requirements. It was a significant birthday trip for me and everyone went out of their way to make it a happy one for me.

Bathroom arrangement was a little strange—with curtains, not walls and opening a window proved challenging because of the retractable black-out screen. Finally, the advertised jacuzzi was not working.

The beds were very comfortable! The rooftop pool and bar was perfect. Exceptional service throughout the entire staff. My wife really enjoyed the cookies from the front desk.

The hotel is really good, the staff is helpful, the facilities is great.

The bathroom is open, it means that, the sink in the room is terrible when you have to do your things.

The rooms and general lay out and style are great especially the bathroom structure with an impressive island structure for sink also thought the bathroom bedroom separation was excellent, its a very intelligent and attractive design congratulations.

That we were asked to pay to use the pool table in the reception which was strange for a 4 star hotel and mean, the evening meal option bought as a set meal was poor, it included a glass of wine not the bottle and the food wasn't good by Portuguese standards, serving what was an odd whole grain rise and calamares that came out like gravel taking its inspiration from novo cuisine it just didn't work as a plate, recommend staying at this very nice hotel but go to outside restaurant for dinner unless they have changed the chief since our stay.

I loved the staff they were always very friendly and nice. The pool and rooftop are amazing and the room is big. You can stay there and you don't even need to leave since they offered a lot of activities and different food for every meal of the day.Boticas is a very nice place to visit and the hotel is in a great place in the center of the village.

The spa lacks privacy since people can see inside. The bathroom isn't functional at all, everything is small and the disposition and the fact that only a curtain separates it from the bed seems a bit off for this kind of place. Also the windows can't be fully closed so you will get light in the room in the morning as you can see in the fotos.

It is a wonderful hotel. We can’t find a problem with anything.

The rooftop area and pool is great for relaxing with a drink from the bar located on the rooftop. There is a secure garage under the hotel. The rooms are perfect. The breakfast is delicious and a massive variety of food.

The Boticas Hotel Art & SPA, is very friendly and welcoming hotel.The room was very spacious and clean.The dedication welcoming card was well appreciated.We had the opportunity to enjoy massage at the SPA, and recommended it. The request was for a couples ( full body relaxing ) massage.Both had the same opinion, it was well worth it.The restaurant, although a few hiccups, the restaurant manager took it upon him to correct it without me having to request anything.

During my stay we didn't have issues.But expected that the pools ( indoor and outdoor ) would be much bigger than they are in reality. There was not much to see from our bedroom window.

Clean and modern

No outdoor areas. The tables and chairs by reception are enclosed outside so not really “outside”..The artificial turf by the outside pool is tacky. A deck or outside tiles would look much nicer. The pool only opens at 8.00 so there’s no outdoor areas to do early morning exercise. The soundproofing between rooms is shocking! You can hear everything!

Sadly, our experience at the hotel was not great. The reception staff was not very friendly and could not handle an emergency situation well at all. Our room shower flooded and it took them more than 20 minutes to show up and bring... two towels! Then, the toilet was affected by the flood and the room smelled like feces, so we had to change rooms. No apologies whatsoever, or an offer for a complimentary drink for our trouble. Also, let's mention that the toilet has no door that closes, so you can hear and smell everything that happens in there; not a great situation even if you're staying with a partner. There's also no door for the shower or bathroom; just a flimsy curtain to separate it from the room. This is a glaring design issue that will definitely not please any guest.Dinner at the restaurant was also not great. We had every vegetarian option and they were pretty bland, and ridiculously expensive for what you get (17 euro for a heap of couscous and sad veggies). Breakfast is quite decent, but again, service was so uncomfortable, with one girl just staring at the guests and not welcoming or offering to help in any way. Besides the manager lady, the staff seems to consist of high school kids who are in training. They're sweet, but obviously inexperienced and nervous to make any decision on their own. So, that felt uncomfortable with every interaction. The spa was nice, and since there were not many guests staying there, we enjoyed some quiet time relaxing.This hotel wants to be an artsy boutique hotel, but it needs much better service and facilities to be so.

Service, bathroom in the room, restaurant options.

Great spa, very comfortable rooms and friendly staff.

The pool has very little shade and it’s just impossible to seat under the sun during the really hot days.

Awesome facilities, nice staff, great location

there’s some dust and spider nets under the beds. Would be good to clean it every once in a while because when something fell we decided not to reach it with our hands due to how dirty it was.

Staff is amazing and super helpful. Spa needs reservations and that ensures only 10 people use per hour, which is great, you can enjoy all facilities.Restaurant food also great. Will surely be back.

Pillows, it's my favorite thing in hotels when pillows are good. These were not hotel quality.

The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. Nice spacious bed. Very good natural lightening. The restaurant just "saved" our stay at this hotel and actually was the top moment: the food was delicious and perfectly cooked, with a touch of local delicacies, as the staff was friendly and pleasant. Despite the roof top pool was closed regarding the season, it's a great place to spend some time in the sun. Nice views. Charger spots for Electric Vehicles as a courtesy of the hotel.

The room, regarding its bed size, could be a bit more spacious. The SPA is small, so is the pool and the Jacuzzi. For a SPA zone we expect a calm and peaceful place to relax. Unfortunately the SPA is accessible to small children and all I could hear were screaming, shouting and splashing all the time we've spent there. The decoration is not bright and somehow the hotel reminded me a youth hostel. We've paid a half board, but the range is tight so we had to pay a significant amount as an extra to choose what we've wanted to have.

Pool, decoration, staff, location.

Food, poor breakfast and dinner options.

City location and Hotel LocationThe Staff!The SPA and the interior pool.

Nothing to add :-)

Location and facilities. Value for money

Lots of incidents during my stay. Water dripping from the bathroom ceiling on the first room. Went down to the spa, jacuzzi not working. Go up to the second room tv not working.

İt was a wonderful experience for us. Everybody was very helpful and friendly. Room was very clean and comfortable. Bed was king size. Spa was amazing. Breakfast was very rich.

Fast internet and place to work with an incredible view. The hotel was incredible, great rooms, nice spa and wonderful staff. We were very happy for our choice.

The gym only opens at 9:00 hich is a little too late to workout before breakfast.
