Room was very comfortable, cleam and spacious. We booked a superior double room
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. The area around the pool was small and cramped with sun loungers cluttered together. The breakfast was very good plenty of variety. Very little entertainment at this hotel but the Hangover sports bar was very convenient to the hotel and had live music 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

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

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

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 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.
We would return to Albuferia and would recommend this hotel. Read Less

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

The hotel is spotless and the rooms are cleaned every morning to a high standard.
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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Read MoreI find it amazing what people write which is totally untrue a group of 16 of us spent last w end at this lovely hotel which had great staff great food very clean but people put rubbish on here saying that our group done this and that well were all grown men with wife and kids most of us have our own businesses and have a lot of respect for people yes we enjoyed ourselves but not at anytime did we talk about fighting and defently didnt bring any women back which you could never do anyway as security was very good so if you people who are moaning best you go to a hotel that doesnt do groups of people and stop moaning about people enjoying there selfs Read Less

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

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

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 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

Read MoreWe picked this hotel as it is a adult only hotel and we just needed a nice quiet break. I was so impressed from the minute i walked in the hotel, the reception staff were so helpful and the hotel was spotless. I was really impressed with the size and the quality of the room and again it was spotless.The pool area was nice and chilled with plenty of sunbeds for everyone. Great poolside bar with good shower and WC facilities.
The quality of the breakfast was 10 out of 10, great service with a wide selection of both hot and cold food.
Jose who works the bar in the evening is a credit to this hotel. He is a gentleman with great customer relation skills, a true asset. 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

Der Kleiderschrank hätte mehr Ablageflächen haben können, im Bad haben wir einen Klorollenhalter vermisst.
Das Frühstück war gut, allerdings wenig abwechslungsreich, da ist noch Luft nach oben. Des Weiteren waren bereits morgens um 7:30 Liegestühle reserviert, wogegen das Hotel scheinbar auch nichts unternimmt. Wer sich also einen guten Platz sichern möchte sollte früh aufstehen. Die Lage ist ansonsten gut, man kommt überall gut und es war auch sehr ruhig. Read Less
