We had an amazing stay at Dunas Douradas. The property is beautiful and clean with easy access to the beach and a wonderful pool area. The accommodations were very clean, spacious and comfortable. We are actively trying to determine when we can visit again!
We stayed in a superior Villa. It was huge, beautiful and well maintained. The hotel staff answered our every need.

Great place to stay for the value. Definitely has the 5 star amenities. The restaurant was really good and the pools were really nice. The rooms were very well kept and the views from the top of the apartment were gorgeous. Also a short walk to a very nice beach. Was a great place to spend our final days of vacation in the Algarvae!

The staff were very friendly, and all "customer-facing" staff spoke excellent English. They were engaging with us as we asked dumb questions about the country and local area, and tried to learn a little low-level Portuguese. The pools areas were very good.

Holiday Bliss.
Dunus Dourados is a lovely place to stay.Perfect for families and
Couples alike.School holiday time is busy but that is because it’s prefect for children.The staff are very friendly and helpful if sometimes over stretched.We have stayed many time and will continue to do so.It has a small shop so if you are going to self cater you will need to shop at the supermarket.
