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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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!

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 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

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

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 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

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

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

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 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 .

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.

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 MoreSpotless hotel, friendly front desk staff speedy check in, great view from 2nd floor room 225 book side or full sea view as inland view faces apartment's which could be rowdy with stag and hen parties. 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.

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

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
