The CS Sao Rafael Suite Hotel is an excellent and relatively new five star hotel, situated in the beautiful central region of the Algarve and just 650 metres to the beach of Sao Rafael in Albufeira. For 8 months a year residents are entitled to daily free golf on a combination of 3 wonderful and contrasting 18 hole courses, namely Salgados, Morgado and Alamos.

The CS Sao Rafael Suite Hotel focuses on quality service in an elegant and stylish manner. The hotel offers guests top class modern furnishings, great views, lovely Mediterranean gardens, solarium, spa, swimming pools (outdoor and indoor), health club, kids club, tennis courts, meeting rooms, bars, outdoor terrace and restaurants. There is something for everyone at CS São Rafael Suite Hotel.

The excellent Salgados Golf Course is a course over a very flat marshland area and the wildlife and scenery are wonderful, being so close to the Atlantic Ocean, but only 5 minutes from the Sao Rafael Hotel. The Morgado and Alamos courses are about 20 minutes drive away inland from the hotel and are great Championship golf courses. During certain times of year the hotel offers a courtesy transfer shuttle bus to the old town of Albufeira and to the beach. The CS Sao Rafael hotel offers outstanding value all year round but particularly during the extensive periods of time when the golf is included in the rates.

CS Vila das Lagoas ****

As an alternative to staying in the 5 star main building on the edge of Albufeira, the CS Sao Rafael Suites Hotel, you can choose to stay instead in the apartments now available on the golf course of Salgados just 3 kms west of Sao Rafael.

The complex has opened at the beginning of 2009 with a supermarket, a big leisure centre with restaurant, full spa treatment centre, an Olympic size swimming pol, superbly well equipped gymnasium and just a stroll across to the new plush golf clubhouse of Salgados. The terraced areas for sun bathing have a total of six swimming pools and it is only 5 minutes also to go to the beach. The apartments are very spacious like the hotel rooms and suites at Sao Rafael and you are about 30 minutes drive to the great golf courses of Alamos and Morgado, which are also free in addition to Salgados adjacent up to 30 June and from 19 September on a daily basis.

There are one and two bedroom apartments with one and two bathrooms, large living rooms and balconies also.
