Pedras da Rainha

Well located. Rooms are clean, beds are confortable, bathroom is modern and immaculate

Good service and well landscaped grounds.

Question for the management team:

If smoking is prohibited and I can confirm my room did not have any smell, why not remove the ashtrays from the rooms?

Complex of traditional villas and apartments, short walk to the front in Cabanas. Swimming pool, supermarket, tennis, bar & restaurant on site. Bus stop outside. Train station for Algarve line within walking distance. Well kept grounds.

Great place to relax. We had an awesome weekend enjoying the beaches and pool.
It gives you a lot of options to try out different things. Nice apartments, beautiful gardens. I would especially recommend it to couples or families.

We’ve stayed here twice now and we’d definitely stay here again. Excellent location, clean, free boat to beach, lovely staff (they leant us a sun parasol). I guess it could do with a lick of paint but given what the tourist industry has gone through recently you cant blame them for not redecorating quite yet. Check your Instagram expectations at the door, turn your phone off and relax in the quiet here. Superb pool too. Charming holiday complex. 5 Stars

We booked it last minute just for a little exploration trip. Pleasantly surprised. We booked a studio but they upgraded us to a bedroom, no charge. The little kitchen had all we needed. The office staff were wonderful and helpful. We would go back for sure.
Wifi only at the Bar/cafe and reception unless paying for, extra fee.

We have stayed here a number of times before and always enjoyed it. Very private and relaxing. Rooms are spotless and have everything you need.

Lovely clean place staff excelkent

Large very spacious well set out resort. Very friendly staff. All the type of amenities you would expect to have are provided. There is a pool, bar, restaurant, tennis courts, bowls green and on certain days live entertainment. Depending on what you want you can go self accommodating, half board or go full board. We was on a Bowls Tour and went half board which I would recommend. There are plenty of very good restaurants nearby and the food is top notch. The weather when we was their was permanently hot and sunny, no rain whatsoever.

Great resort as a home base for further exploration. Nice cheap small room for 2 with plenty of parking. Staff all friendly and a pool on site if you fancy a day basking in the sun. Spain is less than a hours drive away if you fancy a day in Spain also. Amazing food available down on the coastline also. Would recommend.

Place is little outdated but we loved it. It’s spacious, green with old olive and carob trees in between bungalows. Very well organized. Helpful staff at reception. Only problem for us was a little crowded swimming pool, and it’s closing to early. You should be able to swim when kids are already in beds.

We came here on a Bowls Tour for the first time. The rooms were generous and mostly could sleep 4. Kitchen and patio area was par for the rooms. Clean and well kept resort with pool, tennis, volleyball and the bars and restaurants were good.

Nicely laid out mature complex with individually designed villas and bungalows. Lots of green spaces and well maintained. Facilities include an on-site supermarket, business centre, laundry, newsagent and tobacconist. Bus stop outside and railway station nearby. Ideally situated for beaches and touring.

Holiday accommodation in Cabanas Portugal. Stayed in a studio. Very clean and well equipped. Also viewed 1 and 2 bedroom villas for future use. All staff from reception, restaurant, activities areas all very helpful. Can't wait to go back.

We’ve just come back from 10 days staying at the Pedras da Rainha, and I have to say this is definitely one of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed in. Absolutely loved it there. We had an upstairs apartment, which was plenty big enough for the 2 of us – a lovely little balcony, a small but well-equipped kitchenette area (which my wife made great use of cooking all the Algarvian delights we found in the local shops), and a nice shower room with modern fittings. The bed was a little hard, but nothing you couldn’t get used to, and my only minor gripe would be the lack of power-points next to the bed (there was one behind it, but you couldn’t use it as the bed was in the way) – but we made do with the others in the room, so no real hardship.

There were also 2 bunk beds, so the room could have accommodated 4.

The room was clean, and the towels were changed fairly regularly, so no real issues there either. In fact, the whole resort area was kept very clean and well maintained.

The outside areas are also stunning, with flowering trees and well manicured lawns, it really is a beautiful and relaxing place to be. Many of the apartments seem to be either privately owned or on a long-term lease, and you can easily understand why people would want to come back regularly and stay long term here.

The pool / dining / public areas were also very clean and well maintained - the pool was a little cold, but it was October after all.

We were staying on a B&B basis, so took advantage of the ample breakfasts every day. Breakfast is a self service buffet and, unless you’re very late, there’s always plenty of it. Pretty much the same every day – bacon, sausage, eggs, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, and a selection of fruits, yoghurts, cakes and cereals, but that was really all you would need, and it was always very tasty and well presented. The staff were also always very friendly and efficient.

The resort is perfectly placed in Cabanas village, mid way between the coast and the railway station, so perfect if you want to spend the day on the beach, or take a train to explore the region – you can get a train to Faro, or to Vila Real de Santo Antonio where you can get the ferry across the river to Ayamonte in Spain (amazing how different it feels just over the river). We also checked out the Saturday market in Olhao which I would definitely recommend if you’re able to get there.

Although the resort has a shop on-site, we did most of our shopping at the Spar shop just outside the south gate – which is well stocked and has pretty much anything you would need at a reasonable price.

There is a mini road-train from the hotel to the pier where they also have a ferry across to Cabanas beach, although we always walked to the ferry as it isn’t very far, and this meant we could pick up an ice-cream on the way and/or the way back. The beach is just a short boat trip across the river, and is one of the best beaches around – miles of lovely soft clean sand and, although it was October, the sea wasn’t too cold to swim in. You can also walk along the beach and cross to Cacela Velha at low tide, which is worth doing.

Overall, this is a fantastic resort in a beautiful place, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Rustic and charming. Great setting. Walking distance from beach and restaurants. Villa's wonderfully dated and charming. If you want sky sports in your villa don't bother. If you want peace and tranquility this the place.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time here, we came to Bowl and had two great games,
The villa's have everything you need to have a wonderful Holiday
The Swimming pool and Café are a great place to relax

Lovely friendly staff and apartment are clean and tidy the maids come in every other day change bins and towels and twice a week change sheet's... reception staff can speak a few different languages and can help with most request.. there's a sales desk for tours and other information available....shop on site and a swimming pool and sun terrace and restaurant and snack bar... tennis courts and boules volleyball and mini train and water taxi service...ATM machine on site.... recycling bins... and much more.... definitely worth a visit and stay....

Have driven past the Pedras da Rainha resort on several occasions when we have been to Cabanas but had never been inside.
In September we stayed for 14 days and were pleasantly surprised. The resort we understand was originally built by Club Meditranee and is a low density development with shaded walkways making it a green oasis.

Our two bedroomed villa was on one floor, but had a roof terrace with a large private garden surrounding it.

The kitchen had been recently upgraded and contained everything we needed, oven, ceramic hob, microwave, toaster, kettle and of course a dish washer. The bathroom was also new and the name on the sanitary ware would not look out of place in a five star hotel. The house was airy with a large covered patio area where we eat every day plus an additional area exposed to the sun.

The garden was mostly grass and the large pine tree provided ample shade from the hot midday sun, no need for an umbrella.

There was a large pool plus a kiddies pool, volley ball court and tennis courts and the grass bowling green must be one of the best on the Algarve.

With shops and restaurant everything was available on site or you could walk into Cabanas with it's many bars, restaurants and shops.

We had wall to wall sun which always helps to make a holiday.

Pedras da Rainha is a quiet relaxing resort, with friendly staff and great facilities, we have already booked to come again.

FABULOUS.
We look forward to coming back here every year for our holiday
Lovely self catering in beautiful surroundings. Nice pool area and bar.
Peace and quiet. Lovely.

This is the coolest place in Cabanas. Stayed here for a couple of weeks before the pandemic and my wife and I had a ball. Today I popped in for a relaxing hour and throughly chilled👍
