Be Smart Terrace Algarve
Armacao de Pera, Algarve

Mr G White, Fareham

The rooms and staff are really good, nice pool and the area is pleasant. The bar prices are high compared.to local bars so I suggest going out. The rooms are off a common stair way and any noise echos around. The area is hilly and not good for people who have trouble with up hill walking.

Mrs S Thursby, Leatherhead

Lovely spacious apartment. Everyone very friendly. Food very poor, very little choice and over cooked.

Mr N Fletcher, Swansea

Stayed here last year and enjoyed was great! This year was a disaster, taken over by Be Live, next door hotel chain loads of problems; broken sun beds and a total of 15 beds for a hotel of 200 guests. No children's entertainment they have taken games room out to put a paid restaurant for food so kids are bored. Pool bar closed and pool then the gate locked most days until mid afternoon as staff too lazy to open the gate, nearest is the down stars bar to get a drink making you walk a good 300 meters around fenced area. Pool area looking very tired and needs a face lift. Room towels are not very clean and threadbare need to be thrown out and replaced with new.

Mrs S Caton, Carnforth

Nice clean apartments, good choice of drinks but food is terrible. Pool area filthy, not been cleaned in months.

Mr R Harrison, Bradford

Ms J Spencer, Littleborough Lakeside Ward

The apartments were very clean, large and comfortable. Lovely views of the sea by the swimming pool. We stayed out of season so it was very quiet. About a 15 minute walk to the nearest supermarket but beaches close by. Not very much going on out of season and a 30 minute walk into Armacao de Pera itself. I would definitely return to these apartments but probably would go high season.

Mr A Musk, Middlesex

We really enjoyed our stay. Staff were lovely and the apartment was very clean and spacious.

Mrs A Wolowska, Loughborough

Miss C Knowles, Beaconsfield

Rooms are very spacious, our room was the end apartment and had 3 balconies. The only issue with the rooms is that the walls are very thin and we could hear our friends talking at night in the next room. You can also hear people in other rooms going to the toilet, walls are not sound proof at all! Reception was very good! Our shutter broke and the maintenance guy fixed it within hours.

Mr R Harrison, Bradford

Beautiful location, pleasant, spacious and well equipped apartments, and friendly, efficient staff!

Mr M Bullock, Fillongley

Excellent spacious accommodation, could not fault.

Mrs S Holman, Boldon Colliery

Large rooms, towels included, cleaned every other day, very family friendly.

Mr T Rafferty, Luton

Mrs J Whalley, Darwen

Apartment very good, two balconies, very clean, our room was on the road side which, was thankfully away from pool music all day and had the sun on it all afternoon. Beach very close and through the cliff the beach was larger and different, lots of steps if you want to climb them but not necessary, back through the cliff is much easier to leave the beach.

Mr G Parker, Wakefield

We stayed in a large one bedroom apartment - very clean and spacious. Not much in the way of cooking facilities but we ate out mostly so that was not a problem to us. If you ask at reception, however, they are more than happy to supply extra items if required. Pool area very nice with lots of sun beds but unfortunately no tables or parasols. Again, this was not a problem for us at the time we went but in high summer no parasol might be a problem if you are needing shade. This is the second time we have stayed at these apartments and would definitely return. The nearby Senhora de Rocha beach is beautiful. There are not many places to eat in the evening but the ones we found were very good - lovely food, good value and very friendly staff who really seem to appreciate your custom.

Mr P Stanford, Brighton

Large clean but basic apartment, no lifts and insufficient cooking facilities for self catering (2 electric rings and no oven).

Mrs K Mcmaster, Leigh-on-sea

We returned from a 2 week stay on the 6th August 2014. Overall we had a great holiday. The rooms are great, really spacious, plenty of room with 2 showers and good self catering facilities. I asked for a sea view which I got, just about by leaning over the balcony. My friends also travelled with us and they asked for a sea view and they got it, it was lovely to sit on their balcony and see the sea. The towels could have been changed more regularly (there were 5 of us in a 2 bedroom apartment), there was also no air conditioning which meant we left our patio doors open of a night which occasionally meant we were disturbed by noisy holiday makers. The pool area is not massive and there is the usual sun lounger saving malarkey at the crack of dawn. We are beach people really so this never really bothered us. The staff were friendly and helpful. One of the maids accidentally got my pyjamas top mixed in with the bedsheets when cleaning but it was tracked down and returned to me dry cleaned. WI-FI, well having teenagers who obviously cannot survive without the ability to get into Facebook/Twitter for 2 whole weeks it was important they could access it. The hotel whilst we were there did not have WiFi in all the rooms (ours was one of those rooms) they could get free WiFi if they sat in reception (which they did) or by the pool if they paid (which they didn't). This was not an all singing, dancing hotel. There wasn't much in the form of entertainment and the guests were mainly young families or couples. For us we loved the location as you were right on Senhora De Rossa beach which if you head to the right hand side and venture through the cave/tunnel, you will find Novo beach which is beautiful. Redonda beach is also lovely which is a little walk from the hotel. We hired a car (which is probably a must in Portugal) and visited many of the beaches along the Algarve. They are all beautiful.

Miss S Price, Aldershot

Lovely hotel, huge apartments and spotlessly clean, very good buffet and available for takeaway. Bit far to walk about at night to restaurants but lovely beach and staff very friendly and helpful.
