All of the staff were incredibly polite, friendy and helpful. We were made feel special throughout our stay. Ricardo (food and drinks manager) organised lovely welcome drinks with tapas for our guests the night before the wddding.
The views from the rooms are beautiful, the pool was lovely, the spa is well run and the general service from staff is top class. The location is great too. You will not regret staying here! Read Less

Negatives: The price of drinks at the bar are outrageous, not just for Faro but in general. €6:50 for Smirnoff vodka is a bit much.
Also there wasn’t enough sun loungers for everyone use.
Very loud stags and hens which ruined the pool area which is very small! I think we can guess where they were all from!
Overall though would stay in the hotel again, good price and location for what you get. Read Less

Wunderschönes Zimmer, tolles Bad, tolle Aussicht vom Balkon.
Wir machen grade unsere Flitterwochen und haben ein kostenloses Upgrade bekommen.
Sehr zu empfehlen.

Excellent service from all staff. Clean and spacious rooms. We had a sea view balcony.
Plenty of sun beds round the pool and as mentioned in previous posts there are some steps down to a lovely sandy beach.
Breakfast is buffet style with every possible selections. Cheeses, meats, cereal, fruit, yogurts and pastries. Along with a cooked variety of eggs, bacon, hash browns, mushrooms.
Didn’t eat in the restaurant in the evening but did have lunch poolside and that was delicious.
The location is near a few bars and restaurants/cafe style and although the menus are much of a much do shop around for their deals (we had a three course meal for €10.95!)
A five minute walk down to the strip and we caught a bus into the old town one day for only €1.40! (Taxi about €6)
Nothing bad at all to say about the hotel or resort. Going back very soon as was so fab Read Less

The hotel is a 5 minutes walk to the strip, a short and cheap taxi ride to Old town.
Both places for nightlife were a great laugh and a friendly atmosphere.
The food was fantastic, the breakfast catered for everyone. The rooms were exactly what we needed and I love that the towels were changed daily and the room cleaned.
The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming.
Around the pool was quiet and we respected the other guests. To be honest after a night of cheap sugary shots and too much vodka, the quiet was a welcome break needed for us all.
This was the first time I’d visited Portugal and I’d definitely look to return with my family Read Less

Breakfast- superb! Hot and cold options. Have never had a nicer breakfast in a hotel! Prosecco is a nice touch with breakfast!
Lunch- above average hotel lunch! The baguettes are great!
Room- excellent, we had an excellent view! The beds were really comfy and the room was cleaned daily. Fully equipped bathroom!
Pool area- excellent subbed availabilty with no rush to hold beds are there are plenty available. Pool area is calm and peaceful with a slightly pricy outside bar.
Location- beach within 5 mins. Old town within 5 minutes taxi- 6 euro. Only fault which has nothing to do with hotel but location- we wouldn’t stay in the “strip” area again. Thankfully the hotel was so peaceful and served good lunch that we didn’t have the need to leave throughout the day- the area isn’t the appealing for those on a relaxing summer holiday but the hotel certainly makes up for that.
The only thing the hotel lacks is some entertainment. We appreciate that it is adults only and sometimes entertainment is solely centred around kids. However, it would create a nice holiday atmosphere and keep people in the hotel for longer. This would avoid the need for a taxi que of people to the old town at 7pm.
We also had problems with our air conditioning in the room. Hotel maintenance attended to this but it soon went back to blowing out warm air. Not very pleasant to wake up to the heating on in your room.
All in all a fantastic hotel which we felt really safe in! Read Less

The hotel is so clean I can eat off the floor! We booked this hotel from the positive reviews and they were 100% correct. The hotel is a 10 minute walk from the beach. Across the road there are bars, restaurants, shops and transport system. We flew in from Faro and the bus going there was literally around the corner! If we ever come back to Albufeira, we will definitely book with this hotel again! Read Less

Read MoreMy girlfriend and I booked this hotel back in November for a relaxing 10 day break. The hotel, staff, facilities, bedroom, cleanliness , breakfast quality and choice were all impeccable. Nice food and drinks from the poolside bar; these were a bit expensive however and So were the drinks at the indoor bar too.
Beautiful views from the roof terrace which I would highly recommend going up to have a look. Good location of the hotel , 2 minute walk from the beach via the back gate in the pool area. The beach directly beneath the hotel isn’t as good as the one further along to the right nearer to Albuferia with all the water sport activities. Bedrooms were cleaned and beds made to a spotless standard every day and bathroom towels were replenished along with clean drinking glasses etc. 30 minute walk from Albuferia which is a good location for food and drink. The local strip didn’t offer much in terms of good quality places to eat although we did find a beautiful Italian called “Italian republic” to the left on the roundabout opposite the strip which we visited 3 times during our stay. We also ate at Donaldo’s which was nice along with a pizza place near the supermarket round the corner called Paulus’s pizzeria. Some good bars and entertainment nearby on the strip and in Albuferia. A beautiful ice cream parlour on the round about too, had one most days. The hotel was placed further enough away to have some peace and quiet at night time.
A good choice of excursions to do. There was an excursions booking office just round the corner from the hotel which was convenient. We did the water park (slide and splash) which was brilliant. We also did buggy safari, great for couples, and we did the boat trip to see the Benagil caves which were fantastic.
The only complaint I would make is the stag do / party that turned up on the Friday that were staying for a long weekend celebrating a 50th birthday. They were Loud, rowdy, immature, drinking constantly, messy, blowing the whistle every 5 minutes. It made other guests feel uncomfortable and not able to properly relax. Every other guest felt on edge, it was clear. They are entitled to enjoy themselves but must also be considerate of Other guests coming to relax. Maybe we should have checked with the hotel before hand if big parties were welcome as this could have been a decision Breaker for us. Other than that, a nice stay and we may return in the future. 🙂 Read Less

Check in at 2pm but they gave us our key at 1pm.
We stayed in room 13, same level as reception.
Room good, aircon in good working order, tv working, bathroom clean and spacious. Twin beds pushed together 🙈 small balcony but did have a table and 2 chairs on it. Free safe in the wardrobe.
Entertainment started at 7pm each night, piano, saxophonist or singer.
Only went B&B so cant comment on evening meal but breakfast was great, cereal, pastries, hot buffet, cheeses, cooked meats, toast and lots of fruit. I did see gluten-free free bread but not alot of gluten-free things on offer. Water, juices and champagne on offer too for breakfast. Finishes at 10:30am, by 10.30 the restaurant doors are closed and by 10:32 the lights are off and they come to your table saying the buffet is closed 😂
Receptionist great, maids friendly too. Key card takes you out of the back of the hotel and down to the beach. Its quite a walk, steep hill and lots of steps so think before you go down....easy going down but getting up is another story!!!
Strip is about 10 minutes walk away. Good bars just out of the hotel, expect to pay €10-12 euros for 2 vodkas. Drinking isn’t cheap unless your drinking local beer!
My opinion, go its worth it. Read Less

It’s an excellent modern hotel in a fantastic location. We weren’t disturbed by any noise, and the hotel is set back far enough away from the strip, however it’s only less than a 10 minute walk. There are some really nice bars and restaurants within a few minutes walk of the hotel, including an Italian and a Tappenyaki. The hotel bedroom was spacious and clean and the double bed was massive and comfortable. There was an excellent choice at breakfast and there was a slight variation each day of some of the pastries and hot food. We had a hire car and there was always ample parking at the front of the hotel. I can’t recommend this hotel highly enough and we will certainly be visiting it again in the future. Read Less

Read MoreEs un hotel moderno y con bastantes servicios. Está bien situado, al lado tienes bares, restaurantes, supermercados… y muy cerca de una playa muy bonita aunque muy pequeña, sin embargo a pocos kilómetros hay playas mucho más grandes, como la de Falesia (muy recomendable). La zona de la piscina se llena en seguida, ya que no es muy grande para el tamaño de éste hotel. Las habitaciones son amplias, modernas y limpias, el baño también está bien. La cama y la almohada mejorables desde mi punto de vista. El personal amable y atento. El desayuno está bastante bien y disponen de bar en la terraza y un restaurante en el que se come muy bien, ya sea de carta o menú (lo cambian todos los días). También disponen de bar interior con música en directo, perfecto para tomar una copa y relajarse al final del día. La verdad es que si es recomendable alojarse en este hotel, aunque merece la pena desplazarse a pueblos mucho más bonitos que Albufeira que hay cerca (Faro, Portimao, Lagos, Tavira…), ya que Albufeira está demasiado masificado de turistas y fiesta.

The hotel was clean, modern and spacious.
Reception staff were all very helpful throughout our whole time there always answered our questions.
The view from our balcony was sadly just another hotel/apartment block opposite so I didnt use the balcony as much as I normally do on all my other holidays.
I didnt book pool view this time as the 10 day holiday cost us £2000 as it was so just couldnt justify spending even more.
The room itself was spacious enough. Shower worked perfectly and there is a hairdryer in the bathroom for the ladies.
The bed was huge and so comfy.
Aircon worked great the whole time had 3 settings which was good to.
The wifi worked for me the whole time not as well for my other half but was fine on my phone.
If you need an iron and ironing board just ask they will bring one up to your room.
The safe in the room was easy to use to.
The breakfast was fantastic. So much variety and I enjoyed it 10 days straight. The restaurant itself is modern and clean.
The pool was to quiet for us as a young couple. We loved the fact no kids were there but everyone was very crammed together so you couldnt have a private conversation as you are literally right next to someone else. The pool was lovely but we much preferred the beach just a 10 min board walk down from hotel. We found our own private spot on the beach so only had 1 pool day.
We found drinks prices expensive! But to be honest we found that all over Albufeira. Unless your just drinking the beer on tap!
The roof terrace was nice to chill and get away on your own.
Easy 5-10 min walk to the Albufeira strip which was great fun and loads of places to eat.
The old town was a quick train ride away €6 there and back was fab!
Highly recommended tours:
Catamaran mara full day boat trip with BBQ.
Sunset BBQ boat trip amazing.
Aquashow waterpark.
Also visit Lagos/Cape St Vincent and Begile Cave!
Good food places:
THE COCKEREL BOOK IN ADVANCE THOUGH.
WILD AND CO END OF THE STRIP AMAZING SEAFOOD AND DINING EXPERIENCE.
URBAN PIZZA ALSO FAB!
Had a fabulous holiday wont return to Albufeira again unless I'm going on a hen party or a trip with the girls now. Read Less

The hotel was spotlessly clean. Breakfast was excellent, comfy beds, nice pool area and the beach a short walk from the rear of the hotel. I was a little concerned before arriving that with the strip being in close proximity, the hotel maybe a little lively, however it was very quiet. We visited the old town in the evenings to eat out, which was a 6 euro taxi ride. We went to 2 local beaches while we were there, which were both lovely and a short walk away.
I would choose a quieter town to visit next time, however if I did revisit Albufeira I would not hesitate to stay at this hotel. Read Less

Read MoreStayed for a week in October during which it was my husband's 50th birthday. On return to our room there was a lovely (very tasty) little chocolate cake plus a note to say go to one of the bars for a complementary drink.
Hotel is nicely designed, comfy beds, very clean. Free safe. Scales in the bathroom (I was made up with these!) Various English TV channels including BBC1 & ITV. Grounds of the hotel are not huge so I suspect in the summer it could become a bit crowded.
Close to a number of restaurants and bars but far enough away to not hear noise.
You can walk down to the beautiful beach but the quickest route does include approx 80 steps! There is a nice bar/restaurant at the bottom.
Tuk Tuk rides cost €10 and you can flag them down. Taxi rank around the corner from the hotel.

Our rooms were clean and big enough with a balcony too! We had the breakfast every morning which was good and had enough variety! The pool area was lovely to sit in with an outdoor bar and a small and large pool! It could have done with some music and you do have to take your towels down very early to get a spot because they are all taken by 10am. We had drinks a couple of evenings and a young boy behind the bar was always very nice and gave good service! We were in a good location close to the beach, the strip and 10 minutes from old town. It is very hilly so would recommend a taxi rather than walking. However overall a good stay with a good location to everything. Read Less

Read MoreWe arrived on the Thursday and were greeted with very friendly staff at the hotel. Rooms were all ready, and we had two rooms together which was perfect for our family holiday. On arriving to the swimming pool, there were lots of different groups around. Couples, solo travellers, birthday celebrations groups and a stag do. All people got on, it was lovely to see a group of people from the stag doing fantastic entertaining in the swimming pool. Other guests joined in the throw and catch game in the water. At the start of the evening, it was fantastic to see the hotel put on entertainment, the highlight for us was the life whale entertainment which was on the grass by the bar. Was so realistic and he didn’t move for hours. The second day we attended the beach, it had sun-beds to purchase for a fee and waiters willing to serve you throughout the day. As a family, I was please to see the lifeguards were extremely active! Always running about in their Red shorts. That evening we ate in the restaurant, the veg, salad, cheese and bread roles were something else! We had 3 starters before we moved on to the main, and all for €25 all you can eat, it was perfect! Our final day was spent lazing around the pool. There was no official entertainment, but the stag group who were ever present were ever so accommodating and took song requests and played tunes to suit all ages and created a really good atmosphere in and around the pool. Thank you to the hotel, the staff and the guests! We as a family will book again! Read Less

Onto our room 214 city view although I will say still a beautiful view absolutely lovely room took us a while to fathom the air con but we sussed it the room was beautiful clean and very comfortable beds a TV with BBC and ITV a mini bar kettle a bath shower in the bathroom complete with hair dryer the only thing I can say that let the room down was the shower wasn’t as powerful as most hotels I’ve stayed in but I’ve definitely had worse showers the rooms were cleaned everyday and also the towels were too oh and you also get pool towels extra bonus more room in your case and very nice shower gel and shampoo too 4.5 out 5
Dining area we only went B&B so can’t tell you about evening meals but if breakfast is anything to go by then I’m sure you won’t be disappointed the breakfast had the buffet situation the usual fantastic fry up with real sausage lovely fried and scrambled eggs there was the continental variety of breakfast items fresh meats cheese fruits Danish pastries and croissants were fantastic also 4 different choices of cereals fresh squeezed orange juice apple juice sparkling wine teas and coffees just brilliant so much choice and tastes 5 out 5
Pool area again really well maintained clean lovely new sun beds lots of space and sun beds are plentiful if not around the pool plenty are stacked up near the edges there are 2 pools a small swimming pool and a paddling pool both nice to dunk in to cool off both kept clean daily the is a toilet and shower block next to the pools ideal if you have a late flight home to freshen up before you leave
The pool and snack bar is reasonably priced with all premium drinks we tried a few beers and vodka cokes but not much more from here but must say some of the food coming out looked fantastic so from us another 5 out 5
This whole hotel is stunningly beautiful from inside and out every where is kept remarkably clean and the views from each floor are stunning while staying here I would recommend a stroll down to the beach through the security gate at the bottom of the pool area it’s a nice walk down the road and quite a few wooden steps but once there you’ll love the scenery.
All in all we will stay here again when we come back to the Algarve it’s a no brainier this is simply beautiful hotel and situated in just the right spot €5 to the old town in a taxi
10 minute walk to the strip and 2 minutes walk to the nearest bars and restaurants some really nice meals to be had in these local bars try them and see

The pool area is lovely and your never fighting for sun beds. There's some toliets and showers next to the pool so if you check out and your flight is later you can still use all the facilities and lounge around the pool side and grab a shower..there's also a luggage room too.
The rooms are lovely and the roof terrace is amazing with some spectacular views...defiantly worth a look.
The food is really good. Breakfast is lovely and there's something for everyone even if your really fussy. We went half board so the evening meal you pick from three choices from a set menu...it was amazing.
The staff are polite and helpful and arranged our transfer to the airport no problem at all.
The beach is exsessable from the back gate near the pool you have to use your key card which is a good thing. You simply follow the road down to some steps then your on the beautiful beach.
The strip is literally 5 minutes up the road where your find bars and restaurants galore.
I'm sad to be going home but I will 100% be staying here again...it was just lovely. Read Less

Read MoreMe and my partner stayed for 5 nights in this hotel, from start to finish the staff couldn’t do enough for us. Facilities are clean, lovely quiet pool area with music playing very trendy, pool bar with lovely coffee and wine.
Breakfast was amazing, so much variety and even champagne served with your breakfast free of charge. Love it! Fresh fruit and bread every morning.
Short walk (5 mins) from the beach, but we spent most of our times at the pool as it was so lovely. No problem getting a sunbed no rush or stress. Would return in a heartbeat. Reasonable prices for drinks during the day. Room cleaned daily and towels changed. Security 24:7 at night which I liked. A quiet beautiful hotel hidden away from the hustle and bussle of the strip.
Thank you! We will return in July. Read Less

We arrived on our wedding anniversary to a bottle of bubbly and strawberries. Check in was quick and our bags were taken to our sea view room. A large bed, wardrobe, free safe and well equipped bathroom as well as small balcony with table and chairs. Room cleaned and towels changed daily. One set of pool towels . All rooms near lifts, some have pool view and larger balconies. Pool area looks small but plenty of loungers and umbrellas. We were concerned about reports of hen/stag groups however it was very quiet. Two groups of ladies came for a few days but conducted themselves perfectly. We walked to beach (about 5 to 10 min ) with sunbeds for hire and a nice beach café. Pool bar has a varied lunch menu. Breakfast is excellent. A la carte dinner , a 20euro 3course dinner and bbq on Wednesdays. .Nice guitar music one night. However it is very convenient and very worthwhile to take a short walk to the local restaurants. The hotel recommended Churrasqueira Beira - a friendly, tasty and very reasonable place where the locals eat too!. The Sizzling Stone was very tasty with good staff and lovely surroundings.There are a few supermarkets, gift shops and bars. A short 5 or 6 euro taxi ride to the Old Town. The bar was quiet with gentle music and closed around 11.30. Finally, as advertised there are no children. Just as we wanted it. A quiet relaxing holiday with good food and nice people. Read Less

Muita qualidade Hotel com ótimo serviço e muita simpatia.
Bons quartos, com uma vista fantástica para o mar e um pinhal - uma bebida na varanda ao final do dia soube muito bem.

Bons quartos, com uma vista fantástica para o mar e um pinhal - uma bebida na varanda ao final do dia soube muito bem.
Jantei no hotel e o jantar estava divinal - entrada: salada de salmão com citrinos; seguido de um entrecosto com molho bbq e para terminar um bolo de chocolate com gelado.
Fui em viagem de trabalho, mas achei que o hotel seria ótima para um fim de semana romântico. Read Less

Già dalle foto ci sembrava una bellissima struttura ma da vicino abbiamo avuto la conferma! Stanze grandi e luminose. Pulite in ogni angolo. Personale gentile e disponibile. La struttura si trova a pochi metri dalla movida di Albufeira ed è ben collegato con i paesi circostanti. La colazione è eccezionale...Trovate di tutto ( tutto fresco! Alle 5 del mattino arriva il forno a portare le cose da mangiare ). Che dire... lo consiglio a tutti e se dovessi ritornare ad Albufeira, saprò dove andare! Read Less

Breakfast very varied and very good. The rooms were comfortable and cleaned daily. Only downside was the size of the balcony which was quite small. Access to the beach down approximately 80-90 and the beach and cafe were great. Over 2 English speaking channels on the TV. Staff friendly and helpful. Read Less
