All of the staff were incredibly polite, friendy and helpful. We were made feel special throughout our stay. Ricardo (food and drinks manager) organised lovely welcome drinks with tapas for our guests the night before the wddding.
The views from the rooms are beautiful, the pool was lovely, the spa is well run and the general service from staff is top class. The location is great too. You will not regret staying here! 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

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.

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Also there is a secluded beach just a short walk away from the hotel, and positioned within a reasonable distance of restaurants and bars. Parking can be a bit challenging if driving. Read Less

Breakfast very varied and very good. The rooms were comfortable and cleaned daily. Only downside was the size of the balcony which was quite small. Access to the beach down approximately 80-90 and the beach and cafe were great. Over 2 English speaking channels on the TV. Staff friendly and helpful. Read Less

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

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
