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

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.

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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 .

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
If people are anti groups they should ask the right questions of the hotels before they book unless they just prefer to have something to complain about

Excellent service from all staff. Clean and spacious rooms. We had a sea view balcony.
Plenty of sun beds round the pool and as mentioned in previous posts there are some steps down to a lovely sandy beach.
Breakfast is buffet style with every possible selections. Cheeses, meats, cereal, fruit, yogurts and pastries. Along with a cooked variety of eggs, bacon, hash browns, mushrooms.
Didn’t eat in the restaurant in the evening but did have lunch poolside and that was delicious.
The location is near a few bars and restaurants/cafe style and although the menus are much of a much do shop around for their deals (we had a three course meal for €10.95!)
A five minute walk down to the strip and we caught a bus into the old town one day for only €1.40! (Taxi about €6)

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

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

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

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 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

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.

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.

Great Hotel for a couples getaway! Modern Hotel with spacious rooms and a wonderful breakfast. We were very happy with everything!

Muy buen hotel Buen hotel, tranquilo y con grandes servicios. Las habitaciones son amplias y muy cómodas. Las comidas son espectaculares así como el buffet desayuno. Situado en una zona con mucha oferta de ocio y a 5 minutos de la playa

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

Read MoreThis is a lovely hotel, close to shops and restaurants but set down a quiet street away from the hustle and bustle. 5 minutes walk out of the back of the hotel to a lovely beach. Pool area was nice, enough space to move sun loungers so you weren’t squeezed in like sardines. Breakfast was excellent , especially the freshly squeezed orange juice. Staff were friendly and helpful, and we had champagne and strawberries left in our room which was a nice touch as we were on our honeymoon. Our room was large and comfy, equipped with everything we could need and the coffee machine was a nice touch. We would definitely return here. 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
