The location is ideal and the hotel is kept exceptionally clean. Adults only so it is peaceful and quiet. The breakfast is great, huge selection of hot and cold and all tastes really nice with the exception of the coffee. It's from one of those do it all machines and is the only fault I could find with the breakfast. The view from our room was beautiful and it was lovely sitting out on the balcony on warm evenings. There's a great restaurant on the strip, the market. I'd highly recommend it and it's only a 5 minute walk from hotel. FYI, people reserve the good sunbeds with towels early in the morning. Read Less

Room was very clean and a good size. The hotel is very modern but warm and very clean
The restaurant is excellent!! Buffet breakfast which was continuously refilled and the quality was very good.
Evening meal took it up a notch and the meals they served were exquisite! We loved it and was so unexpected.
My one tiny gripe was that I emailed the hotel beforehand as it was my partners birthday and I wanted to purchase a bottle of prosecco to be placed in the room on arrival but didn't get a response! The element of surprise was gone so I didn't bother to mention it on checking in.
The beach is a little awkward to get to and the staircase from the beach is rather steep!
Overall -Excellent hotel. Read Less

Checked in to room 315...a lovely room with great view of the pool and sea. We had some bubbly and fruit brought to our room for our wedding anniversary which was a nice touch. Was a bit worried as a lot of reviews mentioned rowdy stags/hens, but we experienced none of that and it was adults only and nice and peaceful. Great selection for breakfast every morning. Back gate which led to the beautiful beach only 5mins away down a set of wooden steps. The beach was so close and so lovely that we went there every day and didn’t really bother with the pool and sun loungers at the hotel. Strip only a few mins walk away (not our thing) and old town a few mins by taxi for €6/7. Loads of really good restaurants actually close by the hotel (Curry Leaves is a great Indian). Staff were all really friendly and helpful (apart from one rude person on phone). All in all a great hotel and would definitely recommend. Read Less

Read MoreJust returned from a 3 night stay at this hotel with another 15 guys, choosing a hotel that suits same sex groups isn’t easy as any groups of the same sex like to let there hair down and have non relaxing fun.
I’ve seen some poor feedback on here that I quite frankly find ridiculous, I personally received comments from 4 couples saying we made there weekend else it would of been boring for them, we received no negative vibes or sign of complaint I spoke to staff and asked if we were ok and they suggested it was good to have us.
The hotel is amazing the staff exceptional and the couples there didn’t prevent our enjoyment
I give this hotel the complete thumbs up
If people are anti groups they should ask the right questions of the hotels before they book unless they just prefer to have something to complain about

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
Wonderful hotel The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The hotel was lovely. Clean rooms, comfy beds, good food. A great place to relax. Newtown is only a few ministers walk away, and the old town is about a forty minute walk.

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
To everyone at the Aqau Pedra dos Biscos thank you for being the perfect hosts this was a fantastic holiday we loved it Read Less

Read MoreHi, just driven back from Portugal as we live in Spain and have been staying with friends of ours at this Hotel o a B&B basis. Plus Points, Free Wifi, Free Parking, Free Safe, Excellent Choice for Breakfast, Free Green Pool Towels. excellent Staff. Downside, NOISE try and get your accommodation overlooking the Pool and not Roadside. as over the road and the surrounding area around the Hotel are Holiday Apartments, as this Hotel is close to what is known as the Strip in New Town it attracts lots of young Lads and Lasses out for a good time and have complete disregard for people asleep as they shout and scream to each other, whilst ambling back to their accomodation in a drunken stupor. The Bathrooms are well appointed with one draw back the Hotel Supports Green Issues, but the Sinks have no PLUGS or a way of filling the Sink, so you can't fill a basin up when washing you have to have the tap running all the time, terrible waste of water. Like most Hotel around the world the Sign at the Pool says please don't reserve Sun Beds, so within the first hour of Breakfast they are all taken and then stay empty for the next 3-5 hrs as people go down into the old town and return in the afternoon nobody in the Hotel Policies them!!! to free them up for other guests. One other problem we encountered was the day the Toasting Machine Broke down, Scrambled Eggs on Bread was not the same, its surprising that a Hotel of this size did not have a back up Machine Read Less

Suite was gorgeous and thank you so much to staff for arranging room to look amazing, please see photos. Food also wonderful! Only down side was on our last day a stag group checked in and took over the pool area. I work in a behaviour school and know for a fact they were waiting to be told off to tone it down, but they weren’t so they got more and more drunk, and more and more annoying. Security need to nip this in the bud in future if the majority are to have a nice time. Stags apart it is a stunning hotel. Read Less

Kamer was schoon, kluisje en minibar aanwezig. Het ontbijt was overdadig. Je kon binnen en buiten (sept. ) ontbijten. Het was wel erg druk.
De lounge is gezellig. Je kunt in het restaurant eten, wat wij niet gedaan hebben omdat op loopafstand een overdaad aan restaurants is. Het hotel ligt in een rustige straat wat heel fijn is in het zeer lawaaiige Albufeira.
Het zwembad is niet al te groot maar oké. Als je door de achterpoort loopt ben je via een paar trappen zo bij het strand.
Parkeren is geen probleem. Fijn hotel voor de 2 nachten die wij er waren. Read Less
Good location, great breakfast Good location, close to many restaurants. Ask for higher floor for best view, even partial ocean view will be enough. Very good breakfast buffet with many choices of fruits, bread and cheeses. Friendly staff, speaking good English.

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

The room offered wasn’t the best so when we asked to change the reception staff did so. The room was clean and modern and the housekeeping go above and beyond to help out. The breakfast has a good choice of food and drinks - although watch what you leave on the tables as the seagulls will make their move. Drinks at the hotel bar are reasonably priced and the cocktails are good. I would recommend getting your sunbed early as you have to get your own off a stack - slightly strange for a four star hotel. The pools are small and the location of the hotel doesn’t offer much variety of restaurants around it. Price to and from the airport in a taxi is just under €50. 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

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

The standard of the Hotel has not changed since our first visit, All staff pleasant and polite, The cleanliness is 5 Star, Breakfast is Excellent with plenty of choice, Never had food on an Evening in the Hotel but it looked good value at 20 Euro for 3 Course. Always choose a pool/Seaview room and ask for a Higher floor (Better View) Use you Room Key Card to open the Gate in the corner of the pool area, This will lead you down to the Beach. Numerous places to Eat and Drink near the Hotel, 5 minute walk to the Strip, 30 Minute walk to old Town, Or about 6 Euros for Taxi.Overall would Definitely recommend a Visit to this Hotel Read Less

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.

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

We like this area compared to old Albufeira because the strip offers so much and is busier , and easier to get around. The hotel has direct beach access,and surrounded by condos called Quinta Pedra dos Bicos . The reception for both accommodation is located in the hotel. You can either rent the apartments or the hotel rooms , either way you eat breakfast in same restaurant. We stayed in the hotel but asked to view the apartments, and were impressed by the size of apartments (same price as hotel rooms but sea view better in hotel).
The reviews reflect exactly our expectations...no surprises.
There is construction next to the complex but did not bother us.
Cleaning service was great, so was reception, and breakfast was excellent.
The restaurant is surrounded by glass so you feel outside while you eat. Also you can eat on the patio or simply finish your breakfast on the patio with a coffee.
Parking was directly in front of hotel and the street utilized by complex guests only.
Rooms are sized ok but balcony is too small. We chose a sea view room and glad we did because the front rooms face the apartments, and ours were overlooking a lush forest with views of ocean and Falésia.
Food for us meant breakfast in hotel and out to restaurants for evening meals. You will find about 20 different restaurants within 500 yards of the hotel. Our favourites were Ribeiro, Pauli’s, and the Casa Velma next to the Old House bar.
Happy hour was at the Old House (best sangria for 7 euros/jug) ,and Coyote bar right in front.
The Inter Marché grocery is 300 feet away so you can load up with all your needs and walk back to your room in 10 minutes.
We took time to go visit other resorts we had contemplated before booking the Aqua hotel, but the environment at our place was the best. Read Less

Le service du personnel dans tout l'hôtel est également irréprochable et le personnel est très sympathique. Découvrir le sud du Portugal hors saison est l'idéal pour profiter et du paysage et des locaux. Read Less

The rooms are of a very high standard, cleaned daily. The food is delicious, the service excellent, all staff are friendly and helpful.
This is our second visit to this hotel, we were delighted that the standard had been maintained Read Less

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

Read Morereally nice hotel with superb rooms and great food, the pool bar was very good and the hotel do a great lunch, only critique would be the lack of sun shade around the relatively small pool area , we were there mid July and the pool area was very busy not ideal , not far from the old town and a short walk to the strip, But the best part about this hotel in particular was the Staff, Carlos i think he was called on the desk REALLY pulled out all the stops to help us as were the rest of the desk staff. well done guys we enjoyed or stay , Oh and try a Bandida cider at the bar very nice .

Mention spéciale pour le restaurant: plats originaux, cuisine simple mais raffinée, quantités raisonnables et suffisantes, serveurs très accueillants et souriants.
La plage est à 5 min à pieds, centre ville accessible en 5 min par taxi (entre 5 et 6€ la course).
Chambre spacieuse avec tout le confort nécessaire. Personnel très agréable.
Petit bémol pour la piscine non chauffée, donc difficile d'y entrer malgré la chaleur ambiante. Read Less

The room was clean but the view awful. It looked over waste ground with the sea very much in the distance. The balcony was tiny and I had a few bruises and scratches trying to get in and out. I missed being able to sit and look out at a view. The breakfasts and lunches in the restaurant were fine. Pool area clean but very quiet but some people like that. Absolutely loved going down the hill and 98 steps to the beach. More atmosphere down there and the Beach Caffe was fabulous. Great staff there who helped with everything. A guy sold donuts on the beach and they were delish. The walk back up the 98 steps is not for the faint hearted as it was boiling. But if you want a bit of life the beach is the place. Back at the hotel the staff were lovely and cheerful. 10 mins walk takes you to the Strip. Some nice restaurants and bars there but a bit rowdy at the weekends. Loved going to Pacha with my daughter for cocktails and tunes and felt very safe there with their lovely staff. Would I return to this hotel? Yes probably but only if I could get a pool view. We went up onto the hotel roof and the views were amazing. The area round the hotel was quite run down in places but it was good fun and it was easy to get to the Old Town by taxi if you fancy a change of scenery. The Portugese people are warm and friendly and we both had a great time. 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

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.
