We enjoyed our stay at the Navigator. Anderson at the front desk was very pleasant and really helpful. The location was perfect to the beach and restaurants. Rooms are very new and clean. The only glitch was intermittent wifi.

We were fortunate enough to be in room 411 with the most incredible view! The suite was modern and clean, huge balcony with an amazing outlook. The staff were all friendly and helpful, especially Erica and little Sonya in the dining room. The distance from the beach was ideal, just a 5 minute walk... be wary of the hill though, although its not far, it is steep! Our only criticism for this hotel was the pool area, although immaculately clean and no sunbed wars the area lacks ambience. There is no pool bar, or umbrellas, albeit there are shaded areas if you want to get out of the sun. This said we would definitely return to Navigator Ocean Heights. An amazing first time visit to Portugal♥️

The hotel is really nice, the lobby always smelt so nice! The room itself was very spacious and had partial sea view. The hotel is a 5 minute walk to the beach but beware the hotel is situated on quite a steep hill, going down is fine but I can't say the same for going back up. There are many shops local which is great for g stocking up the spacious cupboards in the hotel room. Opposite the hotel is a 24hr snack hub. Snacks ranging from crisps and chocolates to burgers. Also has a hot and a cold drinks machine too. All in all fantastic stay as a family or 3 (toddler included)

Beautiful modern rooms. Lovely reception and housekeeping staff. Located near a nice quiet beach resort which is only a 3 minute walk. The hotel is located towards the bottom of a hill so it may not be suitable for those who are less mobile or elderly. Nice places to eat out - especially for fresh fish and meat dishes. Would definitely recommend.

The staff we pretty much non-existent. The maid never left clean towels once during our 3 day stay. Never left any toilet paper either. The hotel gave us a code to to use to open the front door and when we returned after being home all day the code didn’t work and we had to call the emergency number that they didn’t answer and only would text with us. Took them 20 mins to figure it out and let us in. They changed the code and never told us. Would not recommend this hotel. It was rated 10/10 and I don’t know how.
