“Great family holiday!”
We have just returned from another fantastic stay at NAU São Rafael Suites, and once again it exceeded our expectations. The hotel and rooms are spotlessly clean, the food is excellent with plenty of choice, the pools and facilities are fantastic, and the entertainment team creates a brilliant atm… more

We stayed at NAU São Rafael Suites for our wedding celebrations and hosted our wedding party there, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

“Extremely pleased and will revisit and recommend”
Amazing staff, amazing hospitality they have gone over and beyond to make our every day stay exceptional. Very hygienic, consistent and prompt. Extremely friendly. Comforting in all aspects, no rush for anything. Good food different every day, long serving hours in multiple areas of the hotel.

“Not a 5 star hotel”
Honest and fair review. Travelled as a couple both under 40, and stayed for 9 nights. First impressions are good but when the novelty wears off, you start to notice things which are not good. The food is appaling for a 5 star hotel, there is hardly any choice and its very samey every day. Other gue… more

“Great hotel, great rooms and amenities but sadly let down by food quality and customer service”
We stayed at this hotel July 2026 for our family holiday. We opted for a 2 bedroom family suite, and all I can say is Wow! The amount of space was amazing, by far the biggest room we have ever had! The pools were great (apart from the water being cold which took time to get used to) and the pool … more

Key features of the moderation of reviews
There is an automatic system that detects offensive language, in which case the review will not be published. If an owner reports one of the reviews, the review will be re-evaluated and, if it fails to comply with our content standards, it will be taken down.
Our criteria for collecting guest reviews
After getting home from the trip booked with us, the customer will receive an email asking them to review different aspects of each of the services booked. The system only allows the booking holder to complete this review and only once.
When will my review appear on the website?
Reviews typically take less than 24 hours to appear on our website. The process may take longer if our team of moderators have to examine the review in more detail.
How long will my review stay on the website?
Once it has been published, your review will automatically appear in the summary of reviews and if it is considered a featured review (based on publication date, length and quality of content), the complete review will also appear. Said review will not appear or will disappear from the system if it contains offensive language or if it is reported.
Can I get a reward for my opinion?
No. Reviews written in exchange for personal rewards such as gifts, services, or money will be taken down.
Can a review be edited?
No, once a review has been written, it cannot be edited. If you want it taking down, you can ask to have it deleted and not republished again.
Will my review appear on other websites or publications?
Once published, all or some of the reviews written by our members may be used on some of our partner sites or in promotional material in general.
If I write a review about a service, can the provider contact me about it?
No, as the personal data of the booking holder writing the review will not be shared with any service providers being reviewed. In the featured reviews shown, only the booking holder's first name will appear, meaning that there's no way that the service provider can contact you.
