Rooms were big and clean with hangers, bath towels and they provide beach towels. Breakfast on the terrace was something we looked forward to every morning. Two amazing beaches within a 15 minute walk. Ten minute drive to the old town and new town. Drinks were lovely around the pool. Staff were excellent couldn’t do enough to help. Will be returning.

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

Amazing The staff although young are very friendly, and are the most accommodating people I’ve met when stayed in a hotel. Jess, Alex and Catarina were amazing hosts!
The hotel is immaculate 👌🏽, I can’t fault it.

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

Area reasonably quiet, restuarants and bars very near the Hotel.Supermarket 10 mins walk, as for the beaches,sone reviews say 15 mins(must have been sir Mo), it took us half a hour to get to the two closest beaches.
two hen parties came while we were there, one after the other, definitely not the Hotel for Hen Parties,quiet Hotel,no were near any Hen/Stag type entertainment.
Only one small gripe, not with the Hotel but Jet2 - booked a room only to find when we arrived that there was no balcony, rooms with balconys cost extra 30E, not the Hotels fault but Come on Jet2 make it clearer when booking please!!
Weather lovely, but found there was a cold breeze at night,which was suprising due to the fact it was mid summer.
would I stay again in this Hotel --YES.

We stayed in a two bed townhouse, which was well resourced and clean. Breakfast was good and hotel swimming facilities also met expectations, with no tussle for sun beds! The spa was operating on a booking system (presumably because of Covid), but we were still able to use the facilities more than once! The property didn’t seem to be especially busy, but staff couldn’t have been more welcoming- we experienced truly exceptional service from start to finish. We’re already planning our next visit- thank you for such a fantastic holiday! Read Less

We had been to this hotel in 2013, before having kids, and had really enjoyed our stay back then. Our booking this time was made 24 hours before we arrived due to all the uncertainty during this time. Anna arranged everything- the room, car rental, 24 hours before! She couldn’t have been more helpful and during our stay was always friendly and available for advice on beaches and surrounding area etc. Bernardo and Dario at the restaurant were amazing- so helpful and kind to our kids- thank you so much.
The room was great with a massive bed and lovely view of the pool and the coast. The air conditioning in the room worked well. We stayed in a family room- our two young daughters slept on a pull out double sofa bed. We stayed half board, the breakfasts were delicious- eggs, bacon, juice, coffee, and a large basket of rolls and gorgeous pastries including the traditional Portuguese custard tart.
The surrounding gardens in the morning were exceptionally beautiful. Our kids are 4 and 6 and loved the pool and gardens. The dinners with half board were salads, soups, fish or meat with sides and dessert which we really enjoyed. We made some trips to the beaches and towns but it was so lovely lazing around the pool, we’ll explore more in the future.
All in all we can’t wait to return to this hotel and wish to thank all the staff for such an amazing holiday.

Wir haben uns pudelwohl gefühlt, Personal nett und aunaufdringlich. Hygienestandards wurden perfekt umgesetzt. Die kaputte Klimaanlage im Zimmer wurde zügig repariert. Die Umgebung des Hotels ist wirklich nett, man erreicht alles, Supermarkt, Restaurants usw zu Fuß in unter 1 Minute. Einziges Manko: der Weg zur Badebucht ist sehr steil nach unten bzw. muss man nach dem Baden einen mörderischen Aufstieg in Kauf nehmen. Deswegen waren wir nur 1 mal an diesem Strand.
Sympathisch ist, dass es täglich Frühstück bis um 11 Uhr gibt! Getränkepreise an der Poolbar moderat. Wir würden es nicht mehr buchen, das liegt aber daran, dass wir eine andere Lage bevorzugen. Read Less

Read MoreI stayed at this hotel for 7 nights towards the end of May. This was my first visit to Albufeira and the choice of hotels was a bit overwhelming - especially given the size of the resort but Topázio was a winner.
I was in room 312 which had a (distant) sea view but, importantly, no noise whatsoever from the Kiss nightclub opposite.
The room itself was compact but nicely done and kept very clean. My only frustrations were around the practicalities - for example no mirror in the bedroom (only mirror was in the bathroom with no plug anywhere close), no shelf in the bathroom, no full length hanging space, no drawers but it’s really not worth sweating the small stuff when you are on holiday.
The staff were all friendly, breakfast was lovely, pool area great and the location pretty much perfect.
I enjoyed my stay and would happily stay here again. Read Less

Service is exceptional and the staff is super helpful to the extent that they will even come up to the room to help you with the coffee machine if required. I don’t see that service at most places in Europe. A very special and heartfelt thank you to to Jose, Ms. Almeida and Luciano from the front office for all the assistance and tips and thank you everyone at the breakfast (Olga and others) for the overall brilliant experience. Highly recommend. Will most definitely return. Read Less

He booked us an excellent room with a lovely ocean view, and we very much enjoyed the view from the balcony. He was very helpful in giving us options to stay longer since the hotel was full, and though we decided not to stay because of the water temperature at the beach, we very much appreciated his hospitality. The included breakfast was fantastic with many fresh fruits and tasty pastries from which to choose. 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

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

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

Zimmer war recht sauber, Halbpension war gut (braucht man auch, da außen herum wenig ist), abends gab es 3-Gang Menü. Lobend möchte ich Lino Mendes erwähnen, er war stets sehr hilfsbereit und hat auch Hintergründe über die portugiesische Gesellschaft geduldig erläutert.
In nächster Umgebung ein Traumstrand nach dem anderen. Mietwagen unbedingt empfohlen. Kann das Vale Del Rei gerne weiterempfehlen.
Reisezeit März mit 7 Tagen praller Sonne und 20 Grad (gefühlt eher 25 wenn kein Wind wehte) habe ich wegen wenig Tourismus als sehr angenehm empfunden. Read Less

- die Gartenanlage ist wunderschön gepflegt und sehr schön
- die beiden Pool Anlagen sind perfekt von der Temperatur und es ist sehr ruhig
- Aqua Fitness wird angeboten (leider stehen keine Zeiten an der Rezeption)
- man hat für das Auto einen privaten Eingang direkt vor die Villa mit Code
- Personal sehr hilfreich, lieb und geduldig
- Tennis Anlage (kostet leider 10€ extra pro Stunde)
- Frühstücksbüffet war leider etwas kleiner Bzw bestand aus vielen Fertiggerichten und ist noch verbesserungswürdig
- Hotel gut gehalten und gepflegt
- Fitness Raum existiert leider nicht mehr Bzw es gibt eine Art Trimm dich Pfad
- sonst bis auf die kleinen Mängel sehr empfehlenswert Read Less

Read MoreHotel lovely. Very clear in all areas of hotel, comfiest beds we've ever had on holiday, all staff friendly and excellent to deal with, pool small but adequate to cool off, prices for snacks and drinks at pool bar very reasonable, lovely rooftop breakfast area, free safe and fridge in room, supermarket 3 mins away 4/5 nice restaurants on doorstep, olhos beach and little bars at least 20 min walk away, pool towels provided by the hotel, maybe the only slight downside of hotel is soundproofing could be better between rooms and floors depending who your neighbours are, would definitely go back to this hotel but would probably try for a room on the 3rd floor, if you choose this hotel I've no doubt you will not be disappointed.

Pool was great and plenty of sun loungers. Just a short walk into main square where all the action happens and a short walk to the beach. Ideal for those who enjoy plenty of nearby facilities. Highly recommended. Read Less

A weeks stay, bed and breakfast.
Hotel is located in a fab location, 10 min walk to the strip, and 5-7 mins in an uber to the old town. No more than 4€!! Shops pretty much facing the hotel, great for supplies!!
We had a lovely apartment facing the pool, great space and comfy beds and sofa bed.
Lovely kitchen area too, although not as many appliances as you would expect as it is actually a self catering apartment.
Coffee machine was supplied, although I was told by other guests that they actually charged for the coffee pods. We didn't use them so not actually how true it was.
No kettle or toaster, but pans, cups glasses etc.
We boiled pans of water to make a drink...back to the old school!
We asked at reception if any kettles were available but was told they don't have any on site at all.
Lovely big dressing table in the bedroom, but no mirror... the mirror was in the hallway, no lights or plug sockets in the hallway. We had taken a travel mirror which was needed! Not good when there are 3 of you trying to get ready!
Very small TV in the living room, showing one English Channel, which was the news. And whilst I know you don't go on holiday to watch television, it is nice to have the option as not every night do you want to stay out late.
The breakfast was lovely, loads to choose from and was always fresh.I believe if you stay self catering and want to buy breakfast, its only 6€ thats for everything, continental and full English!
Food and drink at the hotel is very reasonably priced considering hotel prices.
We had lunch at the hotel pretty much every day and again, was lovely and fresh.
The bar area shuts however at 7pm, a little weird for a hotel! There was a few nights again where we would have been more than happy to stay at the hotel and have a few drinks but wasn't able to! In the summer its open till 10pm apparently, but again, I think it's something they should look at.
The pool was absolutely freezing! It was really hot whilst we were there, 35 degrees and it would have been nice to enjoy going in the pool, but it was actually too cold!
All in all, the little niggly things aside, we had a fantastic holiday, reception staff were really helpful, the older lady who works in the restaurant and bar is really lovely!
We are planning a girls holiday next year and are planning to stay here again. Read Less
