“Fantastic Hotel in Albufeira!”

Absolutely loved our stay here. The staff are so friendly and accommodating to your needs, whatever they may be. I will for sure be heading back here hopefully very soon.

Absolutely loved our stay here. The staff are so friendly and accommodating to your needs, whatever they may be. I will for sure be heading back here hopefully very soon. Very close to the beach (5 min walk) and lots of bars and restaurants in the vicinity of the hotel. The hotel food is also very nice, so if you chose to stay at the hotel for food, it is to a very good standard. The rooms are a good size and have everything you need as well as brilliant privacy. All in all, a very fantastic place to stay whether your trip is long or short.

Lovely hotel situated in a brilliant spot. A group of 10 of us stayed here (5 couples) and we really enjoyed it.

Lovely hotel situated in a brilliant spot. A group of 10 of us stayed here (5 couples) and we really enjoyed it. Good points - clean around the hotel and rooms - big pool with decent toilets near and bar/snack bar - snack bar food was really good and you can have it delivered to you at your sun lounger - friendly staff - free safe & beach towels - quite a decent choice of food for breakfast - location is perfect - the cider on draught in pool bar is gorgeous - beach is near (however a lot of wooden steps down to it) - beds comfy and decent pillows - the massage lady by the pool was amazing, so worth €35 one of the best massage's I've ever had - aircon in room works well and they keep a card in the electric slot so it stays on and you can charge items whilst your out Bad points - no drawers or area for clothes other than a few hangers - rooms on front can hear the local hangover bar's karaoke until 3 in the morning - the lighting in rooms very dark and very few plugs - the hot food at breakfast wasn't very 'hot' - pool bar very expensive €4 for a small fizzy drink - towel reserving from stupid times in the morning We would definitely return due to the laid back ness of the hotel and the cleanliness and friendliness. Cant fault much just the odd little thing, overall a lovely holiday and hotel. One tip I'd add is download the Uber app if you want to get out anywhere and not walk. It was so much cheaper than the local taxi's and tuk tuk's.

“A little bit disappointing”

Our room had a view of apartments across the road. We felt overlooked so we never sat on the balcony or opened the curtains fully. Tea & Coffee making was provided in the room but the bottle of water for filling the kettle was not replenished. Also drinks were not provided at evening meals. Room ... more

Our room had a view of apartments across the road. We felt overlooked so we never sat on the balcony or opened the curtains fully. Tea & Coffee making was provided in the room but the bottle of water for filling the kettle was not replenished. Also drinks were not provided at evening meals. Room was clean and tidy with the opportunity to ask for the room not to be cleaned for which the hotel gave you a €5 voucher in return each day if wanted. We found an issue with the bathroom sink, in that it did not have a plug to stop water going down the drain. We felt that this was contrary their green award. The room whilst having hanging rails for clothing lacked drawers. WIFI was available throughout the hotel. Food variety was plentiful but not always to our taste. The staff we met were pleasant & helpful. Also, they provided a small packed breakfast on the day of our leaving. Local transport from near the hotel into the old town was available, and when we chose to walk it took about forty minutes. The beach was accessed by wooden steps from near the hotel rear exit. In the evening after visiting the beach cafe the lighting for the steps after dark extremely poor making it extremely dangerous. We enjoyed our holiday in Albufeira but would not return as we found it to be to much of a party town with stag and hen parties plus lots places with large tv screens showing football. Much too noisy for us.
