Aqua Pedra Dos Bicos Design Beach Hotel - Adults Friendly

“Out of season break”

Loved this hotel! Room was clean, bed comfortable, no noise at night and all the staff we encountered were great and the breakfast was really good. Good location if you want to be near the strip and a nice walk down to the beach. you can walk to the old town in about 40 mins and Ubers are readily … more

Loved this hotel! Room was clean, bed comfortable, no noise at night and all the staff we encountered were great and the breakfast was really good. Good location if you want to be near the strip and a nice walk down to the beach. you can walk to the old town in about 40 mins and Ubers are readily available and really cheap! Pool area was great, clean and good bar service! It’s small so imagine it’s busy in peak season. I’d definitely stay again

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 good Hotel for couples”

The Hotel was very clean and modern, and the staff were friendly and helpful, check in was straightforward and efficient. They have a green rewards system where you get a 5 euro coupon if you don’t have housekeeping that day, which we used twice. The only problem with that is, when you do get house… more

The Hotel was very clean and modern, and the staff were friendly and helpful, check in was straightforward and efficient. They have a green rewards system where you get a 5 euro coupon if you don’t have housekeeping that day, which we used twice. The only problem with that is, when you do get housekeeping the next day, your tea/ coffee supplies were not replenished, but I asked the housekeeping team for some more and they were more than happy to supply it. The rooms were nice, ours had the side ocean view, but for a superior room I would have expected more clothing storage space. We were B&B, and there was a good breakfast selection, but what really let the breakfast down, was the “hot” selection was not hot, lukewarm at best, and sometimes cold, we were not late entry’s, going mid breakfast times. The pool looked inviting, and the pool area was clean and well set out, but for once in my life, I didn’t try it out, but I was informed it was cold. Overall, the hotel is a good place in a decent location from where you can set out exploring, the beach is within easy reach ( 15 mins walk) but it was windy when we went and most of the beach cafes/ bars were closed, but it was late November. The hotel is within 10 mins walk from the famous “strip” which again was a lot quieter than normal, but there are a decent selection of bars and restaurants close by. The old town is about 45 mins walk, but we caught the little train that does a full circuit of Albufiera, but not the marina, again, a seasonal issues, the marina area is worth the walk from the old town as there are some nice bars and restaurants near the waterfront. We both said we would visit the Algarve again, but maybe more in season.

“Clean hotel but noisy rooms”

Very clean hotel situated in a good location near Albufeira. Lovely pool set up (though too cold to use in November), however pool bar/snacks were very over priced.

Very clean hotel situated in a good location near Albufeira. Lovely pool set up (though too cold to use in November), however pool bar/snacks were very over priced. Room was great and well appointed, though the bathroom a bit run down. Poor sound proofing between rooms so could hear late night conversations and noisy golf parties most evenings. Public areas of hotel are lovely and a nice place to relax in the evening. Only one night per week of evening entertainment during November so there wasn’t much atmosphere in these areas. Breakfast was fab, good selection of choices available and very fresh.
