Read MoreEnjoyed a one week family stay in this comfortable hotel, ideally situated near to excellent restaurants and near to beautiful beaches. The hotel is on the main albufeira road and it’s very accessible being a short walk to the bus stop and a short bus ride in to albufeira.
The hotel rooms are spacious and very comfortable with large queen size comfortable beds and a large private balcony with wonderful views.
The staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly. The restaurant is on the top floor and has excellent views. The selection of food is reasonable for breakfast. The juices are freshly squeezed although there could be a wider variety of hot food. Read Less

The room was fantastic, really spacious and well presented. There was loads of wardrobe and drawer space, unlike many hotels we’ve stayed in. The bathroom was large and very clean and the shower was really powerful. The only downside was the shower curtain which wasn’t ideal, a glass curtain is preferable. Whilst the room was cleaned every day, you could choose to not have it cleaned and towels changed whenever you wanted in return for a €5 voucher to be used in the bars and restaurant.
Outdoor areas were well maintained and frequently swept and cleaned. The gardens are extensive and enable you to get away from other guests and have time to yourself if you wish to. The main pool area is well looked after and there are plenty of beds. The pool itself is really clean and well maintained, with great views over the hotel grounds. Our son loved playing in the pool all day.
Whilst there is a ‘kids club’, this is really low key. Children can come and go as they please depending upon whether they fancy joining the activities on offer. This means that you don’t have to sign them over for the day. There is no loud music or irritating stuff going on to annoy those trying to relax by the pool. For example, they may do some painting, make a cake, go for a picnic in the grounds, go and play tennis in the grounds etc. We’ve never used a kids club before because we don’t like to sign our son over for the morning / afternoon / day but he did enjoy popping in and out to suit himself.
The pool bar serves a good range of lunchtime snacks which are of a good quality. Service is quite slow, but that didn’t really bother us because we were on holiday and not in a rush. One major downside for us was the cost of drinks and ice creams etc. We found it really expensive. For example, a small can of Pepsi Max was €3.50 and a large bottle of water was €3.
We were half board. We often swapped our evening meal for lunch and went out to eat most evenings. The set menu in the hotel is very limited. However, the food is excellent quality but portion sizes quite small if you have a big appetite. As already mentioned, drinks and wine to accompany your meal are very expensive.
We are out most evenings and found that Uber service was great to and from the hotel. There are some great little restaurants not too far from the hotel by taxi. Reception staff were always happy to ring ahead and book for us.
The staff at the hotel are a credit to the company. They are helpful, attentive and friendly. Our experience was that nothing seems to be too much trouble for them.
We would definitely return, however probably on a B&B basis next time rather than half board in one of the villas. Read Less

We were in a studio apartment and the room was lovely and spacious! Room cleaned every day with fresh towels, breakfast lovely with great variety, and all staff were very helpful and friendly!
Great location with 2 shops across the road, and new town strip just under 10 minute walk and old town around 20 minute walk although quick taxi for around €6! As for nightclub across the road although we were out most nights the nights we did stay in even though we could hear a bit of noise it didn’t really bother us! Pool area always clean and tidy, pool a bit cold but didn’t bother us as it was nice when it got too warm!
Only downside would be there was no kettle or toaster for self catering and there was one long mirror in the room but had no plugs near it so would advise people to bring extension lead but neither of these things were a big deal or affected our stay!
Overall we had a great time and would definitely recommend to anyone and stay again ourselves 🙂 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

The rooms are large and very comfortable with first class air conditioning. Some of the bathrooms could do with an update and the varying water temperature in the shower can be a problem. The bar is comfortable and welcoming with reasonable prices. This was our 25th visit so that speaks for itself! Read Less

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

We checked in late on Sun night and were given a lovely, quiet balcony room (108) overlooking the swimming pool. The room was spacious with a huge bed, a lovely en-suite bathroom and all the other facilities you need including a small fridge/ minibar, flat screen TV ( with loads of English channels including BBC and ITV) and tea and coffee making facilities. Some reviews have mentioned that the hotel has a problem with "noise" internally but we honestly didn't notice it during our stay. Breakfast is served in the dining room on the third floor which has floor to ceiling windows on three sides and an outside seating area. There was a large selection of hot and cold food on offer each day with choices available to satisfy anyone. All the staff we dealt with were lovely and helpful and worked extremely hard.
The hotel also provides you with a beach/ pool towel to be used for the duration of your stay. We didn't really use the pool but did visit the two lovely beaches near to the hotel ( turn left out of the hotel for Olhos de Agua and right for Maria Luisa) which are both a 15 minute stroll away. There are a variety of cafes, restaurants and bars within easy walking distance. Turn right out of the hotel and you'll find The Three Marias which offers a three course set menu including a drink for 12.5 euros per person, excellent value for money!
I recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again. Read Less

The hotel is very clean and modern. The pool area was great, we had no trouble getting a sun bed and the pool was lovely. The poolside bar served really nice food that was very well priced.
We had a superior room that was really nice. It had plenty of room for the two of us, and had a very reasonably priced mini bar, a coffee machine, and a hairdryer. Our room was at the side and although we did hear a bit of noise from the nearby club it was never too bad.
There were some stag and hen dos over the weekend but the security guard was very quick to sort them out if they stepped out of line!
The hotel is well placed a short walk from the strip and a 20 minute or short tut tut ride to the old town.
The only slight negative is a lack of shower and changing facilities if you have a late flight, however the staff did say that if they weren't full they would have let us keep our room.
The staff were amazing, very helpful and friendly.
We had a fantastic time and were really pleased with the hotel. We'll definitely be back! Read Less

Si... Read MoreEl hotel está en una zona muy tranquila, si no te importa coger el coche, es el lugar perfecto desde el que visitar el Algarve, ya que no está a mucha distancia de casi todos los puntos de interés. Si por lo contrario buscas un lugar en el que no coger el coche para todo, este no es tu Hotel.
El entorno del hotel es muy silencioso, las piscinas son geniales, hay dos rodeadas de mucho espacio verde.
Me alojé en una villa que tenía dos dormitorios dobles, con baños en cada uno de ellos. Una cocina y salón-comedor bastante grande. La zona de las habitaciones están muy bien, tienen terrazas, están muy limpias y son cómodas. En cuanto al salón, les vendría bien cambiar los sofás, están ya bastante viejos/usados.
El desayuno está muy bien, muy completo y todo rico. Además el comedor está junto a la piscina, muy buenas vistas
Solo tengo un punto negativo, y es que el hotel admite mascotas, pagando un suplemento importante por ellas. Yo llevaba un perro pequeño, y no me parece bien que no dejen una pequeña zona en la terraza del bar en donde se sirven los desayunos, las comidas y puedes tomar algo tranquilamente.
En cualquier otro restaurante nunca nos pusieron problema para estar en la calle con el... menos deberían ponerle en un lugar en el que pagas 25 EUROS al día por poder tener al perro. (Prácticamente pagué más por el perro que por una persona con desayuno para que luego tengamos que turnarnos para hacer las comidas ya que, como es lógico, si le dejas solo en un sitio que no conoce va a ladrar y molestar a las villas contiguas).
Es cierto que en la información sobre mascotas pone que no dejan tenerle en la piscina y en el bar, pero a continuación pone que salvo en las zonas donde específicamente lo señale (no he visto ninguna zona así señalada y con eso das a entender que hay zonas donde lo puedes tener).
Solo dejan pasearle por las zonas alrededor de las villas, pero no dejan por ejemplo tener en el jardín que hay junto a la zona de la piscina. No me parece bien cuando no es simplemente un hotel que te haga el favor de dejarte tener a tu mascota sino que la mascota paga más que un persona!
En definitiva, mi valoración del hotel es buena, porque en cuanto a las instalaciones, al personal y demás no puedo decir nada malo. Pero si planeas ir con mascota, su política al respecto me parece pésima. 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.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Facilities and rooms spotless and buffet breakfast superb. Situated close enough to amenities but far enough away from noisey nightlife on The Strip. Previous reviews have mentioned/complained about the night-club across the road (opening time 1am - 7am) but this was never an issue for us, despite the fact our room faced onto it, I suppose it depends on how light a sleeper you are! We have absolutely no complaints re our holiday here. The only point I would make would be that the hotel should consider more sunbeds as the usual selfish people would leave their towels on them from early morning. Read Less

We never heard anything from the kiss disco,except for kicking out time,around 6am,then it was more shouting and screaming.Overall a very nice hotel,let down by certain guests,definitely not suitable for older people (as lots of steps) or young children( too much noise and no kids club etc) 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

She just showed us the door and said turn left and right but it was dark and we could not see the numbers that were in front of bungalows and could not see where the front door of them were because it was on the side of them, would definitely go back Read Less

Gorgeous Photos do this hotel no justice. Beautiful. Central. Spotless. Beds are SO comfy. Nice wee piano bar. Pool is a bit small if you're the type of person who likes to stay on site.

Pool is a bit small if you're the type of person who likes to stay on site. We aren't so it was fine for us. Superb. Would go back in a heartbeat. Read Less

Read MoreFantastic hotel, this was our 4th family holiday here and it did not disappoint. The hotel is modern, spacious and clean. Our room was excellent, decorated to high a standard, again exceptionally clean, air con was faultless and the bed was absolutely massive (and comfortable). The grounds and main pool were superb - the area around the pool would have benefited from a few extra umbrellas to shade the midday sun and some of the gym equipment was looking a bit tired. The staff were supremely helpful and accomodating - particularly Ana Felix who assisted with our booking and room choice and the main barman who employed our son to help making drinks. The food in the restaurant was to a very high standard from a fixed menu and in a very comfortable dining environment - one thing is that every year we have been it is always a bit of surprise if it will be the fixed menu or buffet.
In summary: absolutely superb and we will be back. Read Less

Fab! Hotel is at a perfect location for the new town strip, literally a five minute walk. Staff are very friendly especially Pedro on reception. Breakfast is okay, nice selection. quality of bacon and sausage could be better though. Pool area... Read MoreHotel is at a perfect location for the new town strip, literally a five minute walk. Staff are very friendly especially Pedro on reception. Breakfast is okay, nice selection. quality of bacon and sausage could be better though. Pool area is lovely with enough sun loungers. Bar is cheap enough, weird though that it closes at 7. Would definitely stay here again. Read Less
