We really enjoyed our stay at Baía Cristal! The location can’t be beat, as it is just a short walk from Centianes beach and the start of the seven hanging valleys trail. Walking the other direction will take you to algar seco and Carvoeiro. Breakfast is included, while not the most inspiring it will provide something for everyone. The real appeal at breakfast is watching the little gray cat play with olives on the pool deck. Rooms are nice, plenty of room to spread out, hangers, a small fridge, and even a sitting area to look out at the water. Some areas of white paint could use a scrub or another layer of paint, but for an ocean view at this price i can deal. We didn’t try the pool, hot tub, or spa, but they looked great.
