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

Read MoreStayed here for our honeymoon, booked the executive suite, chose as adults only hotel and wanted some peace and quiet. 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

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

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.

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

Read MoreOn initial check in we were provided a room on the ground floor next to the lift and no view from the balcony, obviously this was very disappointing, however the check in staff were helpful and managed to move us to a higher floor but it was at an extra cost which was not entirely ideal. Once this had been sorted I could not fault the hotel, the facilities were brilliant very modern and clean, the breakfast was delicious with a very wide range of choice and we even ate on the evenings where the food was to a high standard and very affordable. The hotel staff were friendly and very helpful. The staff had even provided my girlfriend with a surprise birthday cake and free cocktail which was greatly appreciated and made our stay that extra bit special. The bar and restaurant staff in particular were very friendly and attentitive. The facilities were excellent and the surrounding area was ideal as it was not too close to the mad strip but had other bars and restaurants around more suited to families and couples. The old town was a 5 min taxi ride and less than 5 euro. One of the only faults I would give is that at the pool area, which is very nice, all the preferred spots for sun loungers were always reserved by guests putting towels out in the morning despite not using the loungers until later in the afternoon. This meant there was often empty loungers in the good spots that had umberrellas for shade that went unused most the day just because guests had put their towels down. Guests should not able to 'reserve' loungers with towels all day if they are not being used. Overall we thought this was a very high end hotel and very welcoming with very friendly staff who made our stay one of the best in Portugal. 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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Rooms and balconies are small but adequate. We had a side seaview room at the back of the hotel so was really quiet and a lovely view it was. Only thing with the room is the tea cups are tiny if id known i would of put mugs in my case as we are tea bellies lol. We used the glasses in the end. Also there are no plug sockets by a mirror so i couldnt see to use my straightners just a heads up if ladies you want to straighten ur hair. Saftey deposit boxes are free. you get two beach towels to use whilst you stay and the rooms are air conditioned. Breakfast was lovely loads to choose from. We were only b and b so cant comment on the evening meal. Pool wad lovely and quiet u will get a sunbed easy whatever time of day it is. Beach behind hotel is a bit rocky in the sea if you walk down a bit from the hotel youll come to a better one with no Rocks and lots of water sports and beach bars. Visit the old town but id suggest a taxi as its quite hilly on the way. The hotel is ideally situated just far enough away from the strip. You have plenty of bars shops and restaurants just on your doorstep including a lively all u csn eat chinese. We didnt visit the strip on the night but it was fine during the daytime. I like to try different hotels at different places but if i did go back to alberfuria i would stay in this hotel making sure i take my mugs with me for our tea lol Read Less

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.

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

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.

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

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

Wunderschön Das hotel ist sehr schön. Waren zwar nur für eine Nacht aber top!
Wunderschönes Zimmer, tolles Bad, tolle Aussicht vom Balkon.
Wir machen grade unsere Flitterwochen und haben ein kostenloses Upgrade bekommen.
Sehr zu empfehlen.

Car impossible de faire une brasse !...aussi hôtel qui devrait dire à ses clients de respecter les horaires car c est un peu la foire de 23h à 3h du matin !...enfin entre 9h et 9h30 il y a de l attente pour le petit déjeuner entre 5 et 10 minutes ! Attention si vous avez des excursions pensez à y aller plus tôt au petit déjeuner... 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

Mr/Mrs Harris Stayed at the hotel for the last 5 years. Nothing changes, excellent room, customer service first class.
Your made so welcome, and nothing to much trouble. Breakfast 10 out of 10.
May visit again in October, if not next July.

Read MoreWe had never visited This area before and chose it for our summer break after reading such good reviews on tripadvisor on arrival we managed to get stuck behind the stag party checking in but once we were at the front desk we were dealt with fast and professionally from a very polite member of staff who also took the time to explain everything to us thank you from two first time visitors 5out 5
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

Le personnel est très accueillant et sympathique.
La propreté de l’hôtel est remarquable !!
Le petit déjeuner était très bien et le dîner (cuisine gastro) était également très bien.
L’emplacement de l’hôtel est juste parfait, tout est à côté, très pratique !
Je vous conseille de vous rendre à la plage qui est situé derrière l’hôtel à 5-10min à pied, elle est magnifique.
Vous avez un HyperMarché à côté (5min) et pleins de bars/restaurants.
Enfin quelques conseils pour faire des activités, je vous conseille d’aller à Portimão (Playa Da Rocha) une plage splendide !
N’oubliez pas de faire la balade en bateau pour aller voir Benagil, c’est magique!
Bref un très bon séjour à Albufeira 🙂
Je vous conseille cet hôtel les yeux fermés ! Read Less
