Just home from another fabulous stay at this beautiful hotel. We were greeted by the lovely Carlos and informed that our suite ( 418) was ready for us. Carlos welcomed us back and told us about their environmental policy, each day you choose not to have your room serviced, you receive €5 to spend in bar/restaurant. As we were only there for 4 nights, we decided not to have our room serviced and enjoyed a delicious bottle of Portuguese wine instead! Our suite was beautiful with a huge balcony with incredible sea views. The beds are so comfortable and the room so quiet. Breakfast is plentiful and tasty, and we could eat outside too. Plenty of sun lounger around the pool and as the hotel is mainly adults, very tranquil. We enjoyed massages in the hotels gorgeous treatment room, over looking the sea. Fabulous therapists. All the staff at this hotel are so lovely and all say good morning to you etc. We are already planning our return. We book direct with the hotel, there is a small discount for returning customers. If you are planning a trip to gorgeous Albuferia , book this hotel, you will not be disappointed!

“A very well presented hotel”

We’ve just enjoyed a week’s stay at this hotel and couldn’t fault any of it. Our check in was smooth & quick. A lovely touch being given a 5euro voucher to spend in the restaurant/bar for every day you opt out of having your room serviced. Staff were all friendly & pleasant. We were in room 431.… more

We’ve just enjoyed a week’s stay at this hotel and couldn’t fault any of it. Our check in was smooth & quick. A lovely touch being given a 5euro voucher to spend in the restaurant/bar for every day you opt out of having your room serviced. Staff were all friendly & pleasant. We were in room 431. It was wow! Super view, large comfy bed & pillows. Everything clean & well presented- thank you to the house keeping staff. Only negative was the balcony - a bit on the small side for 2 but that didn’t spoil our stay at all. Breakfast was varied, plentiful & tasty. Something for everyone. Great location too for bars, restaurants, shops, local buses, tuc tucs, land train etc. Highly recommend and would come back again!

The visit was for a birthday celebration for our friend and we stayed for five nights. The staff were professional,friendly and helpful. They worked so hard at making our friend’s birthday special. A shout out to Liliana, Guilherme, Anna and Adrian. And all their colleagues in the dinner and at reception. Sorry forgot the names. Wish my room had a better view like my friends’ but the room was clean,the dining area is a bit small but clean. We enjoyed the variety of the food . We were on a half board booking which worked well as we were out during the day. I would recommend this hotel and would definitely go back. I would go to this hotel

“Sickness bug. Rude staff”

First impressions were horrifying. About 40 people checking out upon our arrival. People all over the steps outside. And lounging all over reception. The reception desk is like a large brown wall.

First impressions were horrifying. About 40 people checking out upon our arrival. People all over the steps outside. And lounging all over reception. The reception desk is like a large brown wall. Not marked and you literally can’t see staff sitting behind it. Very odd and very unwelcoming. Saggy white old sofas. Took forever to be seen. We left uk at 3am so we were very tired. Told room eventually wasn’t ready. Its was Raining so we had a hot drink in bar and went back to reception. We waited 3hrs Long hours. We even asked if we could upgrade. None available. We were told not one thing about hotel facilities. We both caught a stomach bug second day and spent two whole days in room 23 (reception told us overlooking pine trees). It was a tiny balcony overlooking waste ground and plagued with mozzies. Hence couldn’t use balcony through this awful time. We were so so poorly. Second day I went down for two teas and asked if they could make us some toast too. After telling her we were poorly and it’s all we could eat. Maryana told us as she couldn’t put it through till as toast and would have to put it through as toastie & chips. €9. Yes €9 for toast. Absolute zero care treated like mugs who would pay as we were desperate. We were!! The staff don’t smile or make you feel at all welcome. Upon check out we were talking to another four guest who caught the exact same bug! The pool area is a lot of green trees and grass. We were bitten to bits off mozzies. The holiday at this point just kept on giving. Upside thankfully beds and pillows. are very comfortable in room. Jet 2 holiday sell this hotel as Albufeira. It’s not it’s in the Praia Santa Eulalia so be prepared for a walk or taxi everywhere!! I think you can gather we would not recommend this hotel or return to it!!
