We ask our a few of our winter guests to say a few words about the “Garbe Experience”

• Firstly its’ position adjacent to the sea (I think the best on the Algarve!) and this makes it very special to us because you get that beautiful light at dawn and dust. Then there are the staff – from the reception to the ladies that look after our rooms. They are the best

• Breakfast and the complimentary teas, are special occasions when we all greet each other. You, the staff, are t be congratulated on provided a wonderful service.

• The Garbe Hotel has a certain ambience which cannot be found in any other. One is conscious of it from the moment of arrival. All the staff go out of their way to assist you.

• The genuine welcome, which still greets me on my arrival, is like a homecoming.

• The Garbe is special because of its wonderful location and as a meeting place for many friends who come back year after year. The staff are marvellous and we always leave wishing we could stay longer – perhaps one day.

• The location, straight onto the beach. The staff, ALL of them so lovely and really special people. The fact that every time we return we are welcomed like old friends.

Whether it is for a few nights or a number of weeks you can be sure of a memorable stay at the Hotel Garbe.
