The hotel staff were lovely, no complaints at all. Always pleasant and willing to help. Two specific examples were when there was a leak in the bathroom on the first day. They were overwhelmingly apologetic and this was immediately rectified. Additionally, my partner had a small medical emergency, and the TUI staff at the hotel were able to assist and give guidance on the best hospital to visit. The buffet food was surprisingly good, particularly the fish. There were a few queues for outdoor seating at peak times but seating was always available indoors. On the day we returned home, the coach left very early, but were pleased to find that the hotel offered an early breakfast so we could fill up before leaving for the airport. The hotel very clean in general, and our room, the cheapest option, was more than adequate with plenty of space. We had a balcony overlooking the tennis court and maintenance area but didn’t really mind - we didn’t spend much time there. The photos on the TUI website were accurate and gave a true to life picture of what it was like. Of course there are some improvements, but these are not dealbreakers in any regard. Firstly the cocktails are too strong which at least for us made them far less enjoyable - even when asking the staff for less alcohol the pours were still a lot! The shower gel and shampoo was a bit odd - for a premium hotel, to have a ‘Travellodge style’, bolted to the wall, all in one bottle was disappointing and could be improved. Finally there should be more toilets by the pool area as there are often queues. Overall we had a fantastic stay and would thoroughly recommend going. The hotel provided a very good experience and we enjoyed visiting the nearby towns, and walking the lovely stretch of beach from the hotel to the Vilamoura Marina.

“Our last review of this wonderful hotel”

We stayed here in August and October this year, and this was our 9th visit and last review of this lovely hotel.

We stayed here in August and October this year, and this was our 9th visit and last review of this lovely hotel. As with previous reviews I’ve written we had another wonderful holiday, and this is thanks to all the staff. They work so hard and make you feel so welcome. It must be very unsettling for them not knowing what is happening, but service never dropped, and staff always had a smile on their face, we do hope they will have jobs when the new hotel chain takes over. Thanks to Sandra, Susanne and Pedro for the warm welcome each time we return and our chats along the way…. good luck in whatever you do next. Thank you and bye for now x

“Shame this hotel is being taken over!”

Our 4th visit to this wonderful hotel, as it is just the perfect place just to chill out and enjoy the surroundings. Our room was huge with a great view and was kept spotlessly clean.

Our 4th visit to this wonderful hotel, as it is just the perfect place just to chill out and enjoy the surroundings. Our room was huge with a great view and was kept spotlessly clean. All inclusive great with lots to choose from. A la carte was really great, BBQ not so good though. Love all the friendly staff who looked after us so well. Unfortunately hotel is changing hands next year and will no longer be adults only, which is a shame. Hopefully all the TUI BLU staff will remain with the new company, as they are all amazing. Thank you TUI BLU Falesia for our fabulous last 4 adult only visits

Just returned from a lovely few nights in the hotel, which suited our needs as a younger couple perfectly as we wanted a base to spend a few nights to explore the local area. We weren't looking for entertainment, which appeared non existent, but the hotel provided a really relaxing ambience which was what we had needed. Room was fine, we'd requested a top floor quiet room, which we didn't exactly get being directly opposite a school and above the bottle recycling unit but thankfully we stayed over a weekend so only experienced noise for the first day really. Biggest bed I have ever seen which was lovely and cosy. No noise from fellow guests so we slept well. Honestly I had expected a more friendly service from the staff but didn't really experience it from the moment we checked in but certainly no rudeness towards us. We did witness some guests being rude to staff which was unnecessary and might explain why staff weren't always friendly, but we are big believers of you treat people how they treat you. It was our first stay so would have been helpful to be told of the facilities in the hotel but we weren't given any info other than where to go for breakfast. Sun beds were a little worn and sunken but we weren't there long enough for it to bother us. Disappointing that people still felt the need to reserve them for long periods when not in use, but we were normally down by 9.30 after breakfast and never struggled to find some. Food we found perfectly fine, it suited our needs as we only wanted breakfast but it was plentiful and of good quality, lovely fresh juices. Check out wasn't ideal, there were long queues of people checking in, really should have had a separate queue for checking out as it only involved handing in cards. Shame there wasn't any beach access from the hotel and that you had to walk all the way around to the village. We would definitely return despite the odd few niggles.
