My group had high hopes for this hotel with it being 5 star but were left a bit underwhelmed and disappointed. We arrived at about 10:30am and were told checkin was 3pm, so we couldn’t get our room but we were also told we weren’t allowed to start making use of the all inclusive services either. After asking a couple of more times before 3pm we went back at 3pm, by which time there were large queues trying to check in. We were then told there had been a delay and it would be 4pm. Hotel itself was nice and our room was lovely, but we lost power for several hours on our second day and had to shower in the dark. Not really offered an explanation what had happened or how long it would take to fix. Our room also wasn’t cleaned nor towels changed. Food was fine but again not quite what we expected at 5 star. Only one restaurant and bar and we found the all inclusive drinks pretty limited. We have stayed at another Nau hotel (4 stars) that had a full cocktail menu in all inclusive - this hotel had 3 or 4 mocktails that they could add alcohol too. All inclusive drinks stopped at 11pm. All in all, it wasn’t an unpleasant stay but it was absolutely not a 5 star experience - closer to 3.5.

in my eyes? That is not a five star hotel? It’s borderline 4 possibly 3,when you got gaps around the air-conditioning unit where it fit to the wall and wallpaper coming off the wall you can see that there’s water got behind The food in the restaurant was okay. I can’t fault the staff at all. They were brilliant. Most of the facilities were closed due to the season, there is no entertainment just a bar and it’s location of the hotel not walkable distance to the town.

Never a 5* hotel. The most underwhelming dining experience most of our group have ever had. Bland food, understaffed and overly full with guests at dinner time - which was more akin to a cattle drive than a 5* all inclusive restaurant experience. Staff were dismissive and unwelcoming, and getting a drinks order in the restaurant was always a challenge (especially at dinner time). The food that was put out was generally bland and of a poor quality, and needed replenishing far more often than happened. While there was the odd dish that was tasty, these were very much the exception not the rule. Breakfast was particularly disappointing. Poor selection, fruit not fresh, and the cooked elements were disgusting (bacon, sausages, eggs). There was a decent breads selection, and the pastel de nata / pastries were also perfectly fine. Extremely disappointed with the dining experience at NAU Sao Rafael Suites. The accommodation was tired and basic, again not in any universe would this class as 5*! Housekeeping was poor. Towels and toiletries replaced sporadically, but usually not at all. Several times our group had to go direct to reception for essential items such as towels, shower gel, toilet rolls. Bar service was fine, although very busy and the small bar did struggle to cope at times given the amount of guests. However, bar staff were friendly and attentive. The same cannot be said for restaurant staff, and some reception staff. Many appeared surprised that guests were asking for help or enquiring about things - generally very poor service. Our check in was delayed by an hour (we arrived on site at midday, and did not check into our rooms until 5pm. We were not the only guests who had to suffer this). The hotel felt very understaffed in general, with empty glasses scattered about the place at all times of day (by the pool, on the bar, around the tables outside). Some of our group made use of the spa facilities and the indoor pool, which was generally pleasant and a good experience. Overall this hotel fell well short of our expectations for a 5* hotel. If this was advertised as a 2* or 3*, we may have just about agreed in terms of the service received and overall experience. However, for a 5*, this place is an absolute rip off. We would not recommend anyone to stay here.

The hotel has no entertainment at all even though it advertises it for evenings. There is one bar where there is a singer but you have to pay in here. We had a day when it was raining and I rung your golf travel to ask if we could change days I was told you would ask customer service to look into it and get back to me. No one got back to me to let me know either way which was disappointing. So we could only play 9 holes due to the adverse weather. A call would have been a courteous thing to do I also had to chase up the correct paperwork on a few occasions.

The rooms we had were very spacious and well laid out. Just a couple of minor faults with some doors in my half of the suite not closing properly. Overall though, very nice. We even had a total of three showers in our suite and three TV's (which could do with a little more instruction to get some English speaking channels...if there were any?) Lots or wardrobe space as well. The rooms are the best part about the hotel. We had a lot of trouble locating our room at the basement of the hotel back right area (Room 0201). There was no signage to say where to go. Also there was a lot of rainwater coming in under one of the corridor exit doors to the pool, which made for a very slippery floor. The hotel isn't really near anything and you'll need to take a cab everywhere. It's even quite a way away from its golf courses. The food was acceptable but like many hotels, often it is never kept hot enough. The hotel was kept very clean. The bar was probably the worst bit, with the Superbock served up frothy, in half pint (if that) glasses. Plus there were often long queues to get served and this was technically, out of season time. Having one bar person on in the evening is not on, for them, or us. Also the all inclusive bar finishes at 11pm. You are charged for a drink after that! There is no entertainment there, so if you want some you'll need to leave the hotel. The staff were polite and courteous. We didn't have time or the weather to use the outdoor pools. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice enough place but absolutely not the 5 star rating it is touted to be in the guides.

I have done a number of all-inclusive and it was unusual to me for there to be lots of things to purchase as add on, it’s as if they don’t charge enough up front.

We were disappointed that the restrictions on the al la carte Italian was not made clear on booking or clear in the T & C's. For anyone travelling you can only eat in this restaurant if you stay for longer than 5 nights. So its excluded from the "All Inclusive" for most. On Tuesday they had 3 bookings all night but still would not allow us to eat in the Italian restaurant. Also food is only included at set times and no snacks (crisps/nuts etc.) are available behind the bar with your drink which was a bit disappointing.

The staff were wonderful in arranging a taxi for a dash to the airport as we almost missed our flight,luckily we just made it ! everything else at the hotel was fine and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Everything about the hotel and golf courses were good, apart from us being forced to have unacceptably early pick up times for our rounds at Morgado and Alamos. We'd booked tee times at 11.33am and 12.04pm so that we wouldn't have to get up too early. We'd expected pick up times to be no earlier than approx' 10 and 10.30, but we had to be ready for 8.20 and 8.30 !! I spoke to reception to try to move the pick up times back a bit but had absolutely zero help from the man behind the desk. He seemed to enjoy the power that he had in dictating when we had to be picked up. He even tried to insinuate that we had been late for our pick up from the golf club on the Wednesday. We hadn't been !! It seemed that the early pick ups were a bit of a punishment to us. We've been on many golf tours and never had anything like this trouble with pick ups. I spoke to someone at YGT on the Wednesday evening to try to resolve this. Although this person was polite and understanding, they didn't do anything that resolved things, as the hotel wouldn't budge on the Wednesday pick up time and gave us an even worse time on the Thursday ! This was our first booking with YGT and it has obviously left a sour taste. Can you let me know what YGT thoughts are on the problems we had please ?

Had two main bars one with "entertainment" on, karaoke and something called beatbox, the other just a bar. What struck me was how echoey they were, didn't need too many people in and you could hardly hear each other, You could only order two drinks at a time, so eight of us, four people at the bar or one person four times. Beer was ok but shorts were terrible, we went to shop and bought proper spirits. Restaurant buffet can honestly say worst food I've ever had in a hotel, some things were ok, but in general terrible, and you had to put everything in microwave as it was always cold, EVEN breakfast where even a bad hotel can normally knock up a half decent breakfast.

I had visited this complex when just built as I was staying in the area and it hasn't went downhill since opening The adjoining rooms are a bit tedious as anyone who goes to bed last needs to go through the Bedroom of the ones who went before and seeing as its a free bar until 12 it can be a bit late until everyone in bed I would have preferred individual suites as the hotel wasn't very busy on arrival but certainly was on leaving Pools were too cold to try and you had to buy a hair cap to use the indoor pool ( opens after 10.00 am ) Food was excellent but the cocktails on offer came from a drinks machine and were a pale imitation of the real deal

Rating based on the free upgrade to the Atlantico we got. Only downside was the distance from the first 2 courses - definitely stay there again. only downside was the lack of time we got to use the facilities but not YGT fault

Really good hotel, the only downside was that for a mixed group of golfers the suites have two double beds and separate bath/shower rooms but you have to walk through the first bedroom to get to the second so privacy is an issue.

Very nice room, Eatalian restaurant was a little disappointing. Slight problem with some lost property which was eventually resolved after we contacted Yourgolftravel.com.

This is a great hotel with all anyone would need at your disposal The food is totally fantastic, for breakfast you would find it hard to think of anything they have not got all displayed in a perfect condition - all the foods were just perfect and met with everyones tastes first class. The drink selection was also good and as a all inclusive money is something you really did not need at the hotel. Very good certainly worth another visit.

Our stay this year was excellent. The weather was perfect, hotel brilliant, selection of food was as always first class. Golf at Salgados and Morgado courses was most enjoyable. The only small complaint was the long wait at Faro airport for the transfer to the hotel on the 18th September. At least half an hour before the driver turned up, and that was after I phoned the office to find out what had happened to our driver.
