The Hotel is immaculate both in public areas and the bedrooms which are cleaned with towel change daily. There is a hairdryer and good sized safe in the room & ample wardrobe space with many coat hangers provided The Beach is a public one which you access via the back gate of the Hotel and is a little way down a lane - and a lot of steps. The Beach itself is lovely.
We were Bed & Breakfast but ate an evening meal in the Hotel the 1st night - it was like a comedy sketch - poor service & inconsistent portion size between the different diners which culminated in the smallest sliver of cheesecake ever which was still frozen which we and other residents there were not able to eat! The breakfasts however were consistently good with an amazing amount of choice and the breakfast staff were efficient and friendly. The pool area was small and overcrowded - we never visited it but noticed no one used the pool so guess the water was cold. This is an Adult only Hotel, a plus point for me. It is also ideally placed just 5 minutes walk from 'the Strip' with plenty of Bars, Restaurants and Shops (mostly selling the same 'holiday' wares). It is about a gentle 40 minute, very pleasant walk to Albufeira. There is a Supermarket for all you could need closeby to the Hotel and a very good Italian Restaurant called Paulus Pizzeria. On the Strip we particularly liked The Market Restaurant at the end closest the Seafront. Overall we were very pleased with this Hotel and would recommend others to visit. 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.

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

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

Very good breakfast, pool area very clean, great pool lots of beds but towels on too many not used, no fault of hotel just selfish tourists. Good area for bars and dining not too mad but "the strip" is very lively 1k away, excellent hotel would definitely recommend, nice friendly staff in the main, some people smile more than others? does anyone know the Portuguese for "Fog" because we saw plenty of it in late June but it did burn off, the path / STEPS to beach can be arduous so take your time be very careful of the sea on this beach has many rocks and is very rough on weak swimmers.

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

Mr/Mrs Harris Stayed at the hotel for the last 5 years. Nothing changes, excellent room, customer service first class.

Yes, they were a bit lad, lad, lad around the pool at points and one of the big guys it group, think his name was Danny, was a bit full on. There was another had the brightest teeth, it was blinding! Had to go upgrade the sun glasses! Apart from that they were great. Crystal being my favourite... he was a bit stiff! But def knew how to make a girl smile!!
All in all great time had by all!!
Hopefully return soon!

With side sea view however, the balcony was very small and the view disappointing as we looked out on what could best be described as a barren dirt track.

Our room was at the front of the hotel with a nice balcony which had enough room on it in my opinion it had two chairs and a small table the view was of the opposite apartments but we weren’t bothered by that. Room was cleaned daily and on arrival we were left two beach towels. There was a kettle and fridge in the room and when asked we were given an iron and ironing board.
Breakfast was very fresh and had something for everyone.
The pool area was very clean but a little small in busier periods I would imagine but we used the beach most days which we accessed out of the pool area and down the wooded steps which are great going down but coming back up is a little harder. We always had two sun beds and a parasol for €12 a day 😀
Location for bars and restaurants was good and only a ten min walk from the strip although we preferred to visit Old Town at night by taxi at €6 each way which was full of lovely restaurants.
Transfer from the airport was about 30mins in a private transfer with Yellow Fish Taxi’s this was €63 for pick up and departure and we always use yellow fish who have never let us down.
All in all a great time in a great hotel and no kids 😝👍 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

Overall we had a great stay and for the reasonable price of the hotel I have to say it’s a great choice of location in Albufeira with all the necessary amenities you would expect or a 4 star hotel.
The hotel is located between Santa Eulalia beach and the main strip in Albufeira, with a short taxi ride to the Old Town between €6/7 euros. The hotel is of a modern design but could probably do with a little bit of TLC here & then with in the room we stopped. There were no issues getting a sun lounger around the pool although busier over the weekend.
Many reviews have complained of rowdy stag/hen groups during their stay but we had no such issues. Although it does beg the question if you are anti larges groups etc why would you chose Albufeira for a relaxing break?
. Food and drinks are good enough in the hotel, €4 for a beer and roughly €8 for a burger although outside the hotel food and drink are half the price.
Nearby eateries are poor, stack them high well the cheap types accommodating stag/hens more than anything apart from a nearby by Italian we found. Id recommend this he old town for nicer meals etc.
Ultimately no faults or complaints from our group during our stay! 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.

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.

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

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

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.

Read MoreThe hotel was spotlessly clean and the facilities were excellent. Only trouble we had was getting towels for the pool, they should have been in the room on our arrival but there were none there so we had to ask at reception but they didn't have any available so they gave us normal towels. This happened 5 days in a row when we eventually got the pool towels - there seemed to be a shortage of towels for the pool at the hotel. The pool was smallish and very cold and there didn't seem to be any trouble getting sunbeds. Notice some Brits were putting towels on the sunbeds before breakfast which is a pet hate of mine! The location was good - we upgraded to a Superior Double with side sea view which was great as we weren't overlooked and it was quiet at night time. The maids came in every day to clean and make beds. We didn't tend to eat in the area of the hotel as we preferred the old town which is around a 30 minute walk away. There was a lovely seafood restaurant very close to the hotel called Cais ao Mar which was quite expensive but the service and food was excellent. I wouldn't recommend the beach at the back of the hotel as the sand shifted too much in the water, instead use the St Eulalia beach which was around a 15 minute walk from the hotel. We booked a trip that involved a jeep safari to the Monchique mountains and a boat trip, it was excellent because our driver George was very knowledgeable about the area and gave us lots of information, he was also a great entertainer.

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

Un buon albergo un po' lontano dal centro L'albergo è moderno, con stanze ampie ed ottime tende oscuranti.

Ottima la colazione. La mia strada, purtroppo, si affacciava in una strada interna del quartiere. Il parcheggio non è custodito ma da ricercare nelle strade adiacenti. Questo è un aspetto negativo 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

The staff are very helpful and friendly, and the rooms are immaculate. No matter how much sand we brought back from the beach, it was always spotless after a visit from the cleaners.
The designs of the rooms itself are well spaced. Love the giant numbers on the door, and the contactless locks are fantastic.
I read grumblings about the double beds being two singles pushed together. In fairness I've never known any different in Europe, and let's be honest it makes no difference.
The bar, in the evening, is great and breakfast in the morning is fantastic with an array of food available.
We never spent time at the pool, preferring to walk down to the beach nearby. It's about 10 mins walk down a rickety platform, but worth the trip (Not literally) down. Soft sand and a reasonable cafe.
About 15 minutes walk to the strip, you'd never know it. The room was really quiet. We did, technically, go just before the end of season.
Treat yourself. Read Less

Nice Adults Only hotel Great hotel. Terrific rooms.
Breakfast and evening meals in restaurant were first class.
Close enough to "The Strip" if that's your preference, but also in a quiet street with little traffic.

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 only two negatives that I could come up with were - the noise from the hotel bar as they are playing music. Some of it we could hear in our room. And the second is that the rooftop terrace no longer operates as it is shown in the pictures.
We also went to a close 5 star hotel for breakfast and other occasion and we believe we prefered this hotel over the 5 star resort. Last, but not least, the beach is very close by and so are the restaurants. 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 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
