Albufeira hotellia

Plussat: The property is located on the beach within hiking distance of Albufeira. Our one bedroom unit was comfortable with a small kitchenette.

Miinukset: The kitchen lacked some basic utensils but was suitable for basic meal preparation.

Plussat: Sea views and location. Excellent staff very helpful and friendly

Miinukset: Everything was excellent

Plussat: Aamiainen oli hyvä, aamiaishuone tai hotelli liian iso. Kakofonia vallitsi, menin aamiaisen jälkeen kahville baariin. ravintoloita enemmän kuin riittävästi samoin uima-altaita. Meri myös lähellä ja palvelut toimivat rantabaarissa.

Miinukset: Olisin toivonut huoneeseen lisää pistokkeita. wc:ssä oli yksi ja roskakorin yläpuolella toinen. Nykyään on matkailijalla mukana puhelin ja esim. tabletti, joten virtaa tarvitaan.

Plussat: breakfast, near the beach, view from room

Miinukset: charge of €20 for indoor pool

Plussat: Aamiainen erittäin runsas ja monipuolinen. Alueella runsaasti parkkipaikkoja.

Plussat: Location is excellent.

Miinukset: The sofa bed could be better.

Plussat: Hotel lovely and staff very helpful and polite beautiful clean beach

Miinukset: No access to food or drinks after breakfast till late afternoon not much to do during day and had to travel to be able to use beach sport and sight seeing trips so became rather expensive

Plussat: The lady at the lobby check in..she was perfect..i want to have her for my hotel Hotel was covid boring..the hotel nows why..don t sell rooms when you are working in it

Miinukset: Everything closed

Plussat: A wonderful oceanfront property full of amenities and lots of charm. I went in the off season so it was magical and relaxing. Good restaurants, good food, complete gym and spa and an amazing beach at the doorstep. Really enjoyed my stay.

Miinukset: The lack of a tea kettle in the room

Plussat: Breakfast Spa and Staff.

Plussat: Relaxing by the pool, having bbq lunches, strolling into Albufeira. Bus transfer facilty was very convenient. Trip to Golf Academy was most enjoyable

Miinukset: The restuarant menu in the evening was very limited and the Sunday buffet was very disappointing when one was used to the buffet at lunch time. The food generally was of very high standard so this was disappointing

Plussat: Beach front, very quiet, beautiful gardens. Excellent swimming pool with warm water. Near Santa Eulália center.

Miinukset: For a 5-star hotel, the carpet is a bit used and with some stains. Sauna and turkish bath are not included in room rate.

Plussat: My 18 year old daughter and myself returned for a 2nd time in September. We love the hotel, particularly the beach side location. The food is very enjoyable. The pool areas clean and beautifully appointed. The breakfast selection is varied and fresh, nearby snackbars offer a selection of food whilst enjoying the sea view Although expensive, we always feel relaxed and refreshed after our short stays.

Plussat: The staff were really helpful and polite, especially in reception and in the restaurants. The food in the buffet was ok and we liked the choice of the other restaurants. The beach was great.

Miinukset: The room that was advertised as resort view was of the car park. The overall standard was not that of a 5 Star hotel - just a 4 star. The Kids club was basic. The beds were extremely uncomfortable and you had to pay for sun beds

Plussat: Huonepalvelu, ravintoloiden palvelut, henkilökunnan palvelualttius

Miinukset: Pääravintoloiden hinnat ehkä hieman liian korkeat

Plussat: Hotel is very nice because of his separte T0,T1,T2 suites. These suites has separte living room and bedroom and a kitchen. The total cleaning is done for you

Miinukset:

Plussat: Surroundings, Club Atlantico, Restaurant, closeness of beach to eating places

Miinukset: Should have been water in room for our arrival

Plussat: This hotel is everything you could wish for on a relaxing holiday. The service was amazing, the food was delicious, the location magnificent, I will be telling all my friends

Miinukset:

Plussat: the hotel, the staff, the beech and every thing connected to the hotel was fantastic this is a 5 star hotel make no mistake about it,i would have no hesitation in recommending to friends and family if i visit portugal again i will be making another booking at the grande real santa eulalia

Miinukset:

Plussat: Friendliness of the staff, faclilities good, location good

Miinukset: Beds were not 5 star standard ( they were rather hard )

Plussat: Clean,

Miinukset: Double bed was 2 singles together, indoor pool closes early 6:30pm, staff could have tried harder as their was minimal contact

Plussat: Sänky oli ihana. Näköalat mahtavat, aamuaurinko!

Plussat: Erinomainen ja monipuolinen aamiainen.

Plussat: I liked the room, it was huge with a nice balconi. The view was excellent as well.

Miinukset: The room service system, the cleanness of the dishes and glasses. we were cheated in several things. Valet made an Accedent in our car and even didn't apologize.

Miinukset: The service could be better, especially for the pool. Also, the restaurants of the hotel did not correspond to the expectations if we are talking about 5 stars hotel. Apart of that everything was perfect.

Plussat: Breakfast was great. Considering the Covid-19 situation, and not knowing what to expect, everything was well organised.

Miinukset: We didn't like wearing masks in the hotel, but it was necessary and not their fault. For us there was nothing really to improve. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Plussat: Amazing location next to the sea. Loved the pool area and the gardens. The room was big and super comfortable. Under ground garage for free. The staff handled the covid-19 situation very professional.

Miinukset: Food and drinks are a bit over priced.

Plussat: Great location, good rooms and great service, a very good Hotel

Plussat: Upea luonto, moderni upea allasalue, todella tyylikkäästi käyttäytyvä henkilökunta

Miinukset: Huoneen siivous ja tekstiilien vaihto

Plussat: The location, 2 minutes from the beach.

Plussat: Modern style. Cleanliness. Facilities. Attention to detail.

Miinukset: Internet is very slow

Plussat: Very nice location away, yet close, from the city center (if you have a car) and wonderful beach.

Plussat: View and location excellent, grounds and pools lovely.

Miinukset: Simple things like a bin in the room were missing, while the whole ambience suggested hgh standards the atmosphere lacked warmth.

Plussat: The beds were comfortable and the quality of the bed linen was very good.

Miinukset: A small detail but the hot food at the buffet breakfast was not hot.

Plussat: Location in perfect! Spa is nice.

Miinukset: Televisions we dislike. minimum style in decoration gives so confortable relax for all senses, so why televisions everywhere?

Plussat: Todella hyvä hotelli. Suosittelemme! Hyvä ranta pienen kävelymatkan päässä.

Plussat: Hotellin sijainti oli erinomainen, rauhallisuutta ja luontoa=lähellä rantaa pitäville. Hotelli on uusi, joten kaikki paikat olivat siistejä ja antoivat aisteille kaikessa ykisnkertaisuudessaan levon. Hotellin kylpylän vesikyvyt olivt erinomaisia; tehokkaita ja uudenaikaisia. Miellyttävä kokemus! Ulkouima-altaat hyvät. Huone oli tilava ja toimiva, riittävästi tilaa ja säilytystilaa perheellekin.Ravintoloiden ruoka hyvää!

Miinukset: Hotellin sijainti saa meiltä 5*, rakennus ja puitteet siinä 4*, henkilökunta 3* eli henkilökunta ei (kahta henkilöä lukuunottamatta) olleet viidentähden palvelun tasoisia työssään, valppaudessaan ja taidoissaan. Ymmärrämme tämän samalla myös uuden hotellin asiana. Televisiot, ja niistä esitettävä aikuisviihde ei sovi, jos hotelli aikoo profiloitua perhehotelliksi. ja mielestämme meille aikuisillekin tarpeeton valinta, kun hotellin muuten niin yksinkertaistettu, moderni sisustus antoi aisteille levon.

Plussat: It was a lovely hotel that is one of the best hotels i have ever stayed at. The rooms are beautiful and would love to go back again.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Excellent in every way, this is a very fine hotel indeed

Miinukset: If I had to find something then the quality of the lunch in the bar could be improved but that is being really fussy!

Plussat: Modern but well designed.Excellent spa.Roomy bedrooms and great shower.

Miinukset: Breakfast buffet not well maintained.

Plussat: The hotel staff is very professional e provides excellent service

Miinukset:

Plussat: Upea sijainti, ihana ranta ja allasalue

Miinukset: Vähän tylsä buffet-päivällinen ja kolkko ruokasali

Plussat: Nothing.

Miinukset: Day before travel - Rang hotel and confirmed the facilities were open as normal. Arrival- Was told Spa was shut but everything else was open, was told we were upgraded, but ended up in a room that saw no sun for the entire day making our balcony useless. Day 1- Advised that only 3 places were open for food and drink Day 2 - Told all restaurants were shut , and we could only use 1 place to eat and drink. Whilst sat outside with a group of elderly people who were having a beer, we asked if we could have a beer and were told we had to sit inside the restaurant if we wanted a drink. I made them aware of the people sat outside with drinks and was told it was because they had ordered lunch. I asked the people,and they had not ordered lunch at all. Day 3 - After going from 4 restaurants to 1, the only restaurant open then went from a buffet to Al a Carte because of the Corona virus. Which makes sense. But the following morning the breakfast was still served as a buffet. The staff themselves called this a "scam" . It was purely because they didn't want to spend the money on the buffet. At no point were we offered any sort of apology. No gesture of good will. No drinks offered, no compensation for the lack of facilities. We picked a resort because we thought we could just stay in there if the weather was bad. But we couldn't even buy a drink between 10:30-18:30 at any bar. When I raised this with the staff, we were told that this was false and we could've had a drink any time we wanted. We complained to yourselves who were no help, and we feel like yourselves and the hotel were only bothered about taking our money. There was no option to change hotel, and no offer of compensation of any kind. We paid for many services we did not receive.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: You have to pay extra to use Jacuzzi, steam & sauna

Plussat: Perfect location, great facilities and really helpful staff

Miinukset: Little slow in getting room cleaned

Plussat: Room , food , were good. The staff were caring and friendly, beautiful well maintained property , the spa pool was great , We had an all inclusive package , I was surprised to have unlimited drinks also included in this

Miinukset: They should look at a more shallow pool for adults where one can comfortably stand inside

Plussat: Beautiful property. Nice and clean. Excellent breakfast

Miinukset: A little bit confusing to get around in the beginning. Very large complex

Plussat: Nothing was boring

Miinukset: Too expensive had to travel everywhere in taxis spent 220 pounds on them no where to eat anywhere except hotel food was OK but nothing brilliant wouldn't recommend it beds uncomfortable

Plussat: Always excellent to stay at the palace.

Miinukset: Close to the beach and golf what’s not to like.

Plussat: Loved the room. It isn't a typical, small European shower.

Miinukset: There weren't enough outlets to charge everyone's phone at once.

Plussat: We liked the breakfast buffet. A huge choice of delicious things. And every day some changes. We also liked the only 20 minute walk towards the beach. Using the Disney-Park like train from the hotel to the beach (and back) might take longer.

Miinukset: The hotel has the atmosphere of a hospital - not cosy at all. Huge lobby, huge corridors, all painted dark brown. But - cosiness is not rated giving stars to a hotel. The room had a very good bed (mattresses) but a very complicated lighting system. Switches with icons. Can be found easily when the lights are one (and you have your reading glasses put on). If not, it is very hard to switch on the correct light (and walking up mrs. by not switching on the bathroom light, but the bedroom light). Must have been a designer that does not stay in hotels him/herself. Tip: use your cell-phones' light to find the correct switch.

Plussat: Beautiful setting and comfortable

Miinukset: Ashame you have to pay to use the indoor pool

Plussat: Balaia golf village is a beautiful place to stay, very attractive environment, close to a beautiful unspoilt beach, I return regularly:)

Plussat: Alue oli todella kaunis, monta kivaa allasaluetta, tenniskentät, golfkentät ja paljon kaikkea puuhaa. Henkilökunta ystävällistä ja avuliasta ja kaikki toimi mallikkaasti. Hotellilta pienen kävelymatkan päässä kaunis merenranta. Majoituimme huoneistossa jossa oli kaksi makuuhuonetta ja tilaa oli ruhtinaallisesti 5hlölle. Hotellialueelta kätevästi taksilla vanhaan kaupunkiin, taksit edulliset ja ne sai tilattua helposti hotellin aulasta.

Miinukset: Hotellin lähistöllä ei ole juurikaan kauppoja ja vain muutama ravintola, joten jos haluaa ostoksille tai runsaampaa ravintolavalikoimaa, suosittelen vanhaa kaupunkia josta näitä löytyy reilusti.

Plussat: Allasalueita oli monta. Hyvä keittiö.

Miinukset: Henkilökunta olisi voinut olla ystävällisempää; olivat aika tympeitä. Huoneet vähän kulahtaneita.

Plussat: Location ok. The resort itself is wonderful. Golf clubhouse very nice. Good food. Grounds are well maintained. Room service daily, kind of. Met nice people to chat with. Easy walk to groceries, hair salon, nail studio. Bus stop close by.

Miinukset: That most units are privately owned. The resort has no say on the condition of the place the owner rents out through the resort. This means it is a **** resort but it is hit and miss on the unit you get. I give our unit a **. Although we liked the roominess, the walkout doors, we had water damage, power outages, almost no outlets for electronic equipment etc. WiFi fluctuations.

Plussat: Sijainti,allas

Plussat: The apartment was really well equiped, which was crucial because our stay was in times of Corona and everything else was closed.

Plussat: View to pool, simple but fair room for the price

Miinukset: The weather, but this is not the hotel fault

Plussat: Club house beautiful view over the course.

Miinukset: Comfortable and spacious accomodation. Lovely par 3 golf course.

Plussat: home life environment,kitchen.bathroom and to go outside and see plants and flowers just made my day!!

Miinukset: I have a hard time using the stove....

Plussat: good location. well centralised. would suit anyone on a budget. quiet area and not too far from restaurants and beach.

Plussat: The appartments are very big. All the rooms are spacious and there's a big independent kitchen very well furnished (unlike other appartements of Albufeira area including upper range 4* resorts). The terraces are spacious and nicely oriented so you won´t feel bothered by neighbours. We liked the spa facilities, the covered swiming-poll and the fitness center (both facilities included in the price, unlike other resorts). The gardens are beautiful too. Last but not least, we loved the kids club (even for small children). It's perfect for parents who want to leave their children for a couple of hours (or even more). We visited other resorts in the area and we definitely would stay in Balaia Golf Village.

Miinukset: The restaurant staff is very unpleasant, which is a pity because the food is delicious and very elaborated (almost "chic"). Avoid the appartments close to the main noisy road!!! The appartments have nice chimneys but most of them are useless. The appartments smell like humidity.

Plussat: We enjoyed the overall ambience,the attractive gardens,swimming pools,cleaniness and tranquil atmosphere.

Plussat: the friendly and efficient staff made our stay pleasant in a lovely setting

Miinukset: no complaints except the water in the outside pools was very cold

Plussat: Paikka oli pettymys siihen nähden, minkä kuvan saimme netissä.

Miinukset: Hotellin henkilökunta oli joustamaton kautta linjan. Kaikki erityispyynnöt tyrmättiin ilman että edes yritettiin toteuttaa asiakkaan toiveita - tai sitten keksittiin tapa millä rahastaa niistä. Matkustimme pienen lapsen kanssa ja olimme toivoneet maantasalla olevaa asuntoa: sanoimme ettemme halua kiivetä portaita rattaiden ja lapsen kanssa. Saimme toisessa kerroksessa olevan ja kun pyysimme vaihtoa se tyrmättiin, koska olimme sanoneet varauksessa first floor eikä ground floor... Lisäksi astianpesukone oli rikki koko viikon (toimi auttavasti loppuviikosta), vaikka kerroimme tästä viikon aikana kolme kertaa. Mitään hyvitystä tästä ei saatu.

Plussat: Hyvät altaat alueella. Huoneet siisti ja siivottiin joka päivä! Balaian ravintolassa ihanat ruuat ja hyvä palvelu. Merenranta lähellä. mutta parhaimmat rannat löydät Portimoesta. Hintaa kuului sisäallasosaston ja kuntosalin käyttö.

Plussat: All the facilities.

Miinukset:

Plussat: the location was central facilites were good

Miinukset:

Plussat: The small distance from apartment to pool.

Miinukset: Too far from beach.

Plussat: An excellent resort

Miinukset: No everything was fine

Plussat: Swimming pools were good (indoor was heated but we stayed outside). Proximity to beach good too. Golf course was cute but not challenging.

Miinukset: Rates for tennis were unreasonable and the courts were not used. Also they stated that every room had a great view. Not so for us but we didn't really care.

Plussat: Hotelli muuten hyvä

Miinukset: Ravintolan palvelu illalla 0 points.ruokailu krsti 2 h

Plussat: Immaculately clean, friendly helpful staff, relaxing atmosphere

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Staff were all fantastic, particularly receptionists and cleaners.- friendly and professional. The room was incredible. Gorgeous panoramic view, huge bed etc. Welcoming, comfortable and relaxed environment. I would re commend

Miinukset: Cocktails a bit rubbish and and food ordered to room service wasn't as described and random

Plussat: Staff and overall eperience excellent.

Plussat: The restaurant was excellent. Food delicious and reasonably priced. Location was very good.

Miinukset: Bed was large but a little uncomfortable. We got no sunshine at all from the position of our balcony.

Plussat: Unfortunately we started our stay and ended it quickly due to the COVIN -19. But in the short time we were there we LOVED the place! Staff was so friendly. Beautiful hotel. Comfortable beds. Spotless. Talked with a group of people would returned there every year for some 30+ . That says a lot about an establishment. I do hope we get to return so as we were so much looking forward to our visit.

Miinukset: Nothing! Loved it all!

Plussat: Aamiainen loistava ,hotelli aikuisille hyvä keksintö .Aika hyvä sijainti

Miinukset: Pikkuisen pieni allasalue ,siivoustaso oli välillä aika huonoa .Mielestämme hiukan liian kallis tosin sesonki aika

Plussat: breakfast was lovely

Plussat: Ultra Modern and stylish

Plussat: The staff were outstanding, especially Carlos at the front desk. Nothing was too much trouble.

Miinukset: Tea/coffee facilities should be in all rooms.

Plussat: quiet comfort, ample and well-cooked breakfast, interesting modern design, professional staff

Plussat: Very modern hotel in agood location near to the beach, shops a good selection of restaurants and public transport links.

Miinukset: As a single traveller I found it rather impersonal. I chose the hotel as I am very familiar with the area expecting a quiet location. One night I was kept awake until 2.30 am by a nearby (but not adjacent) karaoke bar which is a considerable problem for the whole area.

Plussat: Totally suitable for our needs- Nothing to fault-Everyone was wonderful and eberything hit the spot.

Miinukset: Nothing- We will definitely return.

Plussat: Tyylikkyys, siisteys ja henkilökunta.

Plussat: The check in staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was splendid. The hotel was spotless.

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Hoteli oli siisti ja sijainti oli hyvä. Ei liikenteen eikä kaupunkielämän melua. Upea meri- ja merenrantametsikkömaisema. Hyvä ilmastointijärjestelmä

Miinukset: Aamiainen oli joka päivä 7 päivän ajan samanlainen. Pitäisi olla hieman vaihtelua.

Plussat:

Miinukset: noise from rooms upstairs or alongside, high heels on stone floor.

Plussat: nice clean rooms and very helpful staff

Miinukset: breakfast was a bit poor and i think staff need to be trained in order to deliver quality service and good food.

Plussat: The confort and the location.

Miinukset: The level too high of the music in the central lobby and the hours of beggining and ending, very early in the morning (7.00 am !!!) and very late in the evening (11.00 pm)

Plussat: The hotel had only been open a few weeks so everything was clean bright and very modern. Breakfast good. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Miinukset: A little chaotic at reception as obviously having problems with computer system and reservations although I suspect only teething problems

Plussat: + good location close to the sea + spa area (although needs renovation) + staff was nice and helpful

Miinukset: - hotel needs a renovation - food was average and ticket system very complicated - I got some bites over the body, not sure whether from room or outside

Plussat: Location is couldn't be much better. Right on the cliff at the beach. While staff didn't provide any empathy or support, the manager stepped in and resolved an issue in the way you would expect it.

Miinukset: Mostly, highly unfriendly staff doesn't make you feel, being welcomed

Plussat: I loved the hotel, it's a little bit on the older side but kept in good condition. The location was easy for me to find and get to by car, which had free parking in their large front lot. The location to the beach was great, a short walk down a ramp to the beach. Nice pool settings, very clean and well kept. The pool bar was close and had everything I needed. All of the hotel staff that I connected to were fantastic, very helpful and spoke excellent English. The buffet breakfast was fantastic, lots of selections, that was so nice to have. I had a ocean view which was nice to wake to sunrises and over looking the pool. I enjoyed the many trails that run parallel to the beach, you can walk these trails for quite a ways even into the town of Quarteira, if you're energetic.

Miinukset: There was not much I didn't like, I gave it a 3 out of 4 for comfort because the heater in the room didn't seem to put out much heat, there were a few nights I could have used more heat. There were 2 single beds in my room bridged together, I traveled alone so I could use any bed, one was harder, not as comfortable so I switched to the other bed which was better, it felt like a newer mattress.

Plussat: Ihana ympäristö...

Miinukset: Kaukana kaikesta... vähän palveluja lähellä. Sisäuimahalli vaatisi kunnon remontin

Plussat: The location

Miinukset: A bit dated

Plussat: Close to the beach and good breakfast.

Miinukset: Poor signs for the pool and jacuzzi areas.

Plussat: Location , facilities and comfortable

Miinukset: Slow lifts Food could have been tastier

Plussat: Rannan läheisyys ja aamiainen oli ok.

Miinukset: Töykeä henkilökunta, puistonäkymä oli tosiasiassa parkkipaikkanäkymä. Ovilukko ei toiminut koko aikana. Harrastusmahdollisuuksien etäisyys.

Plussat: very close to very good beach, good swimming pool, good outdoor bar for hot drinks / cold. very clean well run hotel, good food etc.

Miinukset: could do with shuttle bus service to other main towns, taxis expensive.

Plussat: My partner and I loved the unspoiled views from the balcony. The hotel had private acces to one of the most beautiful untouched beaches I have seen.

Miinukset: As the hotel was in such a remote place, it would have been better if there had been a tasteful entertainment programme. A shuttle bus to surrounding areas would be good. There is virtually no public transport, so unless you hire a car or pay for taxis- which are very expensive- you are very isolated.

Plussat: Good location for short break, not too busy, convienient for all facilities

Miinukset: Staff could have smiled a little more. Reason for holiday was a late surprise for my wife's 60th birthday, and recovery from a slight illness. Although booked and confirmed 6 nights on the fifth day my wife tried to access the room late on friday afternoon only to be told by reception that we had only booked 5 and that we had to vacate the room or pay to stay another night. My wife felt very distr

Plussat: That place is wonderfull. The hotel and outdoor area are clean and look beautifull. Peoples there are so friendly (this is my opinion) and always ready to help you if is possible.

Miinukset: There was one thing what can be improved. In during the dinner you have to buy water if you want to drink it. I think this litlle thing should be part of the dinner. Why you can have for breakfast tea, juice, milk, cofe and water and for dinner nothing to dring?

Plussat: Relaxing by the fantastic swimming pool

Miinukset: Would have been nice to have more of the local food on the menu ie piri piri chicken.

Plussat: Close to the sea, countryside

Miinukset: No windsurfing center close to the hotel

Plussat: Its stunning to look at, food was superb

Miinukset: Staff were very slow to get anything done, whenever you approached the reception desk even though there were 3 people behind it with no-one to serve you still had to wait up to 10 minutes for someone to acknowledge you let alone help you - Infuriating!!

Plussat: the fact that was very close to the beach....

Miinukset: the fact that is impossible to go around the area unless u book a cab...

Plussat: everything

Miinukset:

Plussat: The balcony was far too small with no table. The distance from room to pool was too long. The spa and jacuzzi facilities were not clean and there was a really bad smell of bleach or acid. They were dark and the woman working at the spa had a horrible attitude.

Plussat: Hotel staff were very welcoming. The room was clean and well presented with a brilliant balcony area.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Hyvä aamiainen ja allasalue.

Miinukset: Huoneen ovi ei alussa auennut. Piti kutsua huoltomies paikalle.

Plussat: Nice location on the beach

Miinukset: Very late check in - must wait until 5:00 pm, then early checkout at 10:00 am. Breakfast not served until 8:00 am, not giving one the option of getting an early start with breakfast in the hotel. Shower head that kept popping out, thin cheap shower curtains. After the shower, slick marble floor was all wet so I slipped and hurt myself. Entrance to hotel parking not well marked; very confusing to determine which barrier to go through.

Plussat: Great location right next to beach. Happy Hour 4pm till 8pm. Bar staff and reception staff helpful

Miinukset: Big Rooms, fridge, balcony

Plussat: Location Entertainment Apartment Staff friendly

Plussat: Good standard room, great views, good vfm

Miinukset:

Plussat: Great rooms plenty of room.

Miinukset: Didn't like the fact that you have to pay to use the fitness facilities and indoor pool.

Plussat: The facilities were excellent

Miinukset: Additional payment for use of pool and gym

Plussat: The pool, the place: is near beach and fun (strip), but quiet and has relaxing view. Just didn't use my car for 5 days because everything was very close.

Miinukset: The studios and T1 apartments didn't have couple beds (the ones given to me), ar conditioned in studio where noisy but good in T1.

Plussat: Cleanliness, size, location and pool area

Miinukset: I was surprised that there were no waitresses at the pool area to take drink orders. The prices of drinks were also extremely expensive...

Plussat: Big roomy appartment, clean, Nice view, great pool, good price

Miinukset: Its an old building in need of maintenance. During our stay many facilities were not open/working, like indoor pool, yakuzzi and gameroom. Although i asked by mail before if everything was operational, they did not inform us of this, so the kids were disappointed. On sunday morning we tried to use the electrical stove to prepare eggs and all electricity fell out due to mall functioning of this device. It took almost two hours for this to be resolved and we were not able to prepare breakfast.

Plussat: The pool was amazing, apartments were huge and had everything you need

Plussat: Pool area, except from the loud music. Kids loved it. Nice staff. Cool reptile show.

Miinukset: Over price, but we booked pretty late. Nice staff. Establishment worn down. Maximum three stars hotel internationally.

Plussat: vastaanotto oli ystävällinen ja sisäänkirjoittautuminen nopeaa

Miinukset: huoneisto voisi olla ehkä hieman valoisampi, tosin en ollut hotellissa kaikkein aurinkoisempaan aikaan

Miinukset: the only thing i found lacking is the beauty salon,,,mostly because i found the beautician to be very rude and unaccommodating..but other than that i only had a good experience. it was our 2nd visit & i came away thinking the same thing last time.

Plussat: I liked the room the swimming pool,I appreciated the shutle service to the center of Albufeira

Plussat: The quality of the Hotel for the price you pay is amazing. Very modern and well equipped apartments. Was very satisfied. Not close to the beach but exactly what I was looking for, because I had a car, they also have shuttle buses. The pool area was great.

Miinukset: The only negative comment is the mattress was too hard, and the pillows were terrible. They could invest in new pillows.

Plussat: The hotel is clean and vell looked after,the apartments are clean and with nice furniture.

Miinukset: The swimmingpool was too cold.

Plussat: Really good place to stay if you do not want to be based in the center of Albufeira. Staff is helpful and the rooms are modern and clean. There are enough enjoyable facilities in the hotel which one can use (outside/inside/children pools, gym, sauna, tennis courts, minigolf...)

Miinukset: Not that this is a major thing but some facilities could be available longer throughout a day (some of them close already at 5/7 PM) and access to the gym could be less expensive.

Plussat: Large Swimming Pool & Childrens pool ideal for the younger children. Rooms were an excellent size, with separate areas and a very large bathroom. The courtesy coach provided to the main resort was much needed and therefore we used this on many occasions as there are limited facilities outside of the hotel.

Miinukset: The hotel mentions that it has a policy for 'no reserving of sun loungers', however this was not the case on 9 of the days we stayed - people were up early to put their towels on beds. Only on the last day of our 10 days did we see one of the hotel staff remove most of the towel which were left out all morning. Eating and drinking at the pool bar was very expensive during the day.

Plussat: Furnishing,space fittings

Miinukset: Nowhere sufficiently well lit to read a book

Plussat: stayed before nice accomodation for family.

Miinukset: not allowed to use outdoor pool in winter.

Plussat:

Miinukset: Indoor pool closed, the mini market doesn't accept credit card and the hotel isn't close to a cash machine facility

Plussat: It is a good, well managed hotel with excellent facilities, particularly for self catering..The hotel is situated about 1mile (1.5kms) from beautiful Algarve beaches and the nearest big town, Oura. Free hotel transport and taxis' at modest cost are availablealong with the local bus service. Plenty of parking for those with cars.

Plussat: Aamiainen runsas ja monipuolinen. Tarjoilutila ehkä hiukan kolkko.

Miinukset: Ravintoloiden tarjonta (illallisella) melko vaatimatonta ja hintavaa.

Plussat: Excellent suites. Right on lovely beach, 2 mins walk from pool area. Friendly staff. Good fruit selection at breakfast. Rooms are actually very nice, good TV and facilities etc.

Miinukset: Uncomfortable hard beds, I recommend the hotel make available mattress toppers as i ended up in pain sleeping on side. Drainage in showers poor, mostly blocked in room. Removed from shops, restaurants and night life, fine for relaxation only. Breakfast - food was very cold. No nice outdoor seating for breakfast, it would be better with breakfast outside with a view rather than dark covered area that looks unpleasant to sit in. Overall please don't let this stop you staying on this hotel, the rooms are very nice and large, just be aware it is quiet at this resort.

Plussat: The pool area and the private access to the beach.

Miinukset: Sängyt hieman pehmeämmät.

Plussat: pool and beach

Miinukset: to much noise both in the room from other rooms and also to much noise from people taking care of the gardens with all the machines to cut the grass

Miinukset: Could have more offers in restaurant and places to eat in the hotel

Plussat: Perfect location, excellent staff and 7 huge outdoor pools. Wow, what an exquisit hotel. Highly recommended!

Plussat: The hotel was clean staff friendly and in an excellent position for bars restaurants and supermarkets.

Miinukset: There was nothing I didn't like about this hotel

Plussat: Everything about Oura Praia Hotel is Top Class, from the lovely decor in Reception area to Reception and Room Staff, who are so friendly and helpful - nothing too much bother for them. Also, Apartment was First Class with all the facilities home-from-home, and there is a Supermarket next door which is well stocked for holiday provisions. My wife and I have stayed there on a few occasions and will continue to do so in the future.

Miinukset: Nothing to report, as could not fault anything.

Plussat: Brilliant location to explore the great Resort . Will be back later in year

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The staff

Plussat: Location and staff

Miinukset: Room needs updating

Plussat: The weather

Miinukset: Dated uncomfortable furnishings, poor linen, cracked and chipped flooring, reduced maid service, decor unchanged for twenty years since our last stay, withdrawal of free bus service to old town and nightly entertainment, does not deserve the four star rating display at entrance and online.

Plussat: All round value and staff very good

Miinukset: Towels for pool

Plussat: Lovely hotel, rooms where spotless. Rooms even had fairy liquid supplied, best equiped self catering acom that I have ever stayed in Large rooms with plenty of space, cleaned every day Location great few mins walk to strip and beach

Miinukset: No air conditioning working in the rooms, it was so hot we had to sleep with all doors an windows open

Plussat: Beautiful place, amazing location. Will return!

Plussat: The host was very friendly and welcoming and the room was comfortable with pool views.

Miinukset: We were not told where to park our car. We parked it in a nearby road (which looked un-used) right next to the hotel. When we arrived to get our car the next morning it was blocked in by builders in a nearby house and had a large key scrape on our rental car which cost us €100 to fix. Had the host informed us where to park, this would not have happened. We were very upset by this and for this reason would not stay again.

Plussat: Staff was wonderful. Very friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Could do with a kettle or tea/coffee facilities in the apartment.

Plussat: Brilliant , brilliant , brilliant place to stay, about a mile away from old town, but a nice scenic stroll into town. (There is a steep hill to the villa) so if your not that mobile, taxi is the one for you! :-). Download the "1taxi" app. The Albufeira Uber. The villa was lovely and clean , staff were very friendly. Was perfect for us!

Plussat: The location is great! Nearby Albufeira main beaches and city centre but being 10 minutes away from the core of Albufeira it is very quiet and relaxing. The bed was very comfortable and the staff really friendly.

Miinukset: The tub drain was not good and the wc a bit dated and not perfectly clean. The rest was very clean.

Plussat: To be honest this was below average of this price range accommodations around Portugal. Room was just nearby pool, sheets were clean and water was hot. Also nice rooftop with kitchen. What was nice, all was clean but there were some things...

Miinukset: There was no internet connection on the WiFi, there were a lot of ants in the bathroom, also toilet was broken and after flushing we had to always fix it by opening the lid of the toilet and repairing it.

Plussat: Clean .friendly. good beds.parking pool all very good for a cheap base.

Miinukset: Construction work across the road . Not the owners fault.

Plussat: The bed was big and very comfortable. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Eric's omelettes were the best I've ever had.

Plussat: Everything. Just can't fault it. Staff were simply exemplary from start to end of stay, nothing was ever a problem and all done with an amazing attitude.

Plussat: Everybody that works in the hotel is very friendly. It is very clean and the breakfast was delicious.

Miinukset: We had a room with ocean view but there stood a big plant in front of the view which concluded in almost not seeing the ocean.

Plussat: Thank you so much for a brilliant time. Staff were so friendly every time we conversed with them and breakfast was wonderful. The view from our ocean view bedroom was breathtaking. We spent so much time on the beach which we could directly access via the hotel. Thank you for making my husband’s birthday a great one.

Plussat: Amazing hotel... Good staff, excellent facilities, service and food. Overall, a wonderful stay. The grounds are also beautiful, with access to a wonderful beach.

Miinukset: I wish the hotel was further to the east near Tavira/Vila Real. I know this is not the hotel's fault, but Albufeira was a bit of a hell hole over-run with the worst kind of package holidaymakers. With that said, you have everything you need at the hotel, so it should not be an issue.

Plussat: Location good rooms clean and modern

Miinukset: Mattress hard noise level from piano bar

Plussat: Hotel was in a quiet area, not close to main roads. Rooms were well decorated & bathroom had a bath with an overhead shower.

Miinukset: Getting around might be an issue if you don’t have access to a car. The biggest letdown was the food - not much choice & not the best in terms of quality. Morning coffee came from a self serve machine & wasn’t great! There was little atmosphere in the restaurant & eating was perfunctory for most guests! A pity, as this would have made our stay so much better. However, for the price we paid, I’d still say it represents good value. I didn’t like being charged for every little extra - pool towels, a room safe, water etc. I was also asked to pay for my room on arrival - never been asked to do that before. Many guests appeared to have visited before though, so people seem to like it enough to return. We enjoyed our break.

Plussat: The staff; the location; the facilities

Miinukset: Coming home

Plussat: food buffet not ok. and not enough staff for buffet. directions en sign were not put there at the buffet. people should have a possibility to eat outside. the corona virus likes people to sit in a closed area!! not ok

Miinukset: food buffet not ok. and not enough staff for buffet. directions en sign were not put there at the buffet. people should have a possibility to eat outside. the corona virus likes people to sit in a closed area!! not ok

Plussat: Loved the indoor swimming pool, plenty of sunbeds and space, very clean. staff were very nice.

Miinukset: The doors were locked to access the dining room on our level, which meant we had to walk up two levels and then down one, very confusing!

Plussat: Very clean hotel. Breakfast lovely. Would highly recomend. Courtesy bus was excellent went from hotel to alburfiera twice daily.

Plussat: Iso ja siisti uima-allas. Hyvä sijainti, rannalle kävelymatka. Lähellä pari hyvää ravintolaa. Mukava ja kohtelias henkilökunta. Ilmainen pysäköinti.

Miinukset: Huoneemme oli nuhjuinen ja epäsiisti, lattialla oli roskia tullessamme. Siivooja ei vienyt tyhjiä pulloja pois. Maksullinen tallelokero. Yleisilmeeltään hotelli oli muutenkin kuin suoraan 90-luvulta.

Plussat: 3rd time here. Staff are excellent, friendly and helpful. Facilities are also excellent.

Plussat: We had a car and used the hotel as a base to visit local theme parks - Zoomarine and Aqualand. Did not use hotel facilities much apart from breakfast and one evening meal both of which were good. It seemed a quiet location. We have two young children and were given adjoining rooms but accessed through a single locked door which solved what is often a problem when staying in a hotel with two young children.

Miinukset: The bad humor of one of the cleaning women

Plussat: Design, swimming pool and the live music at Piano Bar

Miinukset: When the waitress clean up our room didn't exchange the glasses that were used. They not even straighten the blanket that was on the top of the bed, just put it away in the bench that was over there. The bed shoulded be just one for couple and not two individual together. For four stars could be definitely better.

Miinukset: a member of the staff at the recepcion counter was very rude. I was coming back from a trip to town with my wife and as we entered the lobby I was asked what room was I staying and I did not look like the guest at that room. at that point she went to check the copy of my identification that was made when I first check in to look at my picture.I ask what was going on and I was never provided with any type of explanation. this happenned on saturday december 26 around 11.00 at night.I think this was very unprofessional for a four star hotel staff.

Plussat: Henkilökunta oli todella mukava ja ystävällinen. Allasalue oli hyvä ja viihtyisä.

Miinukset: Lastenallas olisi voinut olla lämmitetty ja samoin lapsille olisi voinut olla enemmän leikkipaikkoja.

Plussat:

Miinukset: Poor quality self service buffet breakfast

Plussat: Nice atmosphere, clean and nice location,good breakfast

Miinukset: no tea and coffee facility in room or in reception Satellite TV was 2 channels really very limited Pool bar shut very early No broadband in rooms

Plussat: the workers are very kind

Miinukset: the brakfast would be until 11 oclock

Plussat: Verz clean and comfortable hotel - good friendly staff

Miinukset:

Plussat: The service was above and beyond what I would expect

Miinukset: No. We were quite pleased.

Plussat: Facilities were amazing, the pools exceptional.

Plussat: everything went well. only the wearther was not hot, so we could not use out dooor pool. we were using indoor pool, which was good. breakfast was very very nice and delious

Miinukset: The TV could have more and better channels. e.g movies

Plussat: Todella hyvät uudet huoneistot. Siistiä. Lapset tykkäsivät uima-altaista ja vesiliukumäistä.

Miinukset: Hotellin ravintola ei vakuuttanut, joten päädyimme syömään muualle tai laitoimme ruuat omassa huoneistossa. Huoneiston paistinpannulla ei oikein pystynyt paistamaan, koska kaikki jäi kiinni. Sijainti sellainen ettäilman autoa olisi tullut olo ettei mihinkään pääse.

Plussat: Allasalue oli siisti ja yksi altaista oli lämmitetty. Huoneet olivat siistit ja viihtyisät.Iso parveke. Keittiössä kaikki tarvittava. Rauhallinen hotelli(alfagar II prestige).

Plussat: The hotel is really clean and very comfortable to stay. The facilities are also great .

Miinukset: The Wifi speed is not that good . I think management should adopt faster internet

Plussat: Aamiainen loistava. Ylellinen aamiaispaikka auringonpaisteessa. Kohtelias henkilökunta.

Miinukset: Tarvittavat asiat voisi hoitaa nopeammin (tässä tapauksessa pyyhkeet puuttuivat)

Plussat: Apartment was clean and hotel well maintained Good sea view

Miinukset: 1)Bed was not comfy 2)No cleaning twice a week- days not mentioned in welcome pack,until I found the room wasn’t cleaned. As place with beaches it’s better the rooms floors are cleaned everyday to avoid the sandy feel in the rooms 3)Breakfast was mediocre and dinner buffet had very less choices and same fish was repeated 3days and mostly frozen foods used. They really need some good cook. 4)lady at the reception bit rude 5)they claim the indoor pools as heated pool but both indoor pools at prestige apartment and at main building the water was no way near warm. They could just call it covered pool instead of heated pool.

Plussat: The apartment was larger than we expected. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The hotel was very clean.

Miinukset: The Bouganvilla restaurant food wasn't nice at all - the lasange was inedible. The service was good though.

Plussat: Modern, spacious, well furnished apartment. Excellent views to Santa Eulalia beach and ocean.

Miinukset: Some traffic noise at night/early morning

Plussat: The facilities are new, clean and modern. The beach and ocean view is amazing.

Miinukset: Parts of the hotel are still under construction (restaurant, and grounds). Did not really impact our stay....

Plussat: brand new, modern equipped spacious apartment, large terrace, nice and clean pool area - the place is great...but...

Miinukset: ....there are huge and very noisy reconstruction works in the building going on and the hotel management is not professional enough to inform and apologize the guests - they just do not care that you would like to relax - they started every day at 8 am (!!!!) and finished their works around 5 pm. The receptionists do not smile at all, internet is expensive, beach is not nice, not suitable for babies, not easy way and impossible to take the trolley with you. There are only other hotel resorts around, the shopping/restaurants centre is far away, 30 minutes by foot on a busy road...

Plussat: The rooms were fresh, pleasant and clean - it helps that they are newly built. The location was quiet and close to the beach. The pool and bar facilities were nice and the supermarket was very convenient. The restaurant was good and the waiting staff there very friendly.

Miinukset: Apart from the restaurant staff and one of the young men on reception, the other reception staff were slow, not particularly friendly and service was not a strong point. When the air conditioning wasn't working and we needed a bath plug, it was an inconvenience. They did not appear to value repeat business.

Plussat: - Very good swimming pool; - Walking distance from the beach; - The apartments are spacious and very well furnished including the kitchen; - The balconies are big and if you are in an apartment with sea view the view is great.

Miinukset: - The check in hour was at 4pm and not at 2pm as it says on the bookings website (we had to wait 2 hours to get hour apartment); - Parking area is small near the aparthotel, no garage was available probably because they are still doing some construction work; - Some construction work is still being done near the pool area (it was done after 6pm and for a short period of time so it was not so bad); - The pool bar was open only until 5pm what is very early (there was other bar availbale in the resort but not near the pool); - The press center available on the Alfagar resort (on the supermarket) doesn’t have Portuguese daily press (like us there were on the resort many Portuguese people).

Plussat: Good bed nice balcony views

Miinukset: Floor staff unhelpful

Plussat: Good food, excellent location.

Miinukset: Robe in room would be good.

Plussat: The hotel grounds are superb and the food was some of the best that I have seen at a hotel. The staff were really friendly and efficient and nothing was ever a problem.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Fantastic hotel with stunning views

Plussat: Everything was perfect!

Plussat: Friendly staff

Miinukset: You have to book the sauna and steam room now

Plussat: The best hotel I have ever been. Everything was great. Lovely stuff, super fresh food, very clean, great pool, great view. See you soon ♥

Miinukset: Nothing. Everything was excellent.

Plussat: The location of the hotel is great, just 5 minutes down to the beach (via staircase) and you can enjoy beautiful pine cliffs and the ocean. It’s also nice that’s it’s in a small village Olhos de Água which is much more quiet and much less crowded than Albufeira. The interiors are maybe a bit faded, but the on the whole our room was quite nice, beds with good mattresses, spacious bathroom. Very rich choice of food and drinks at breakfast and dinner. Excellent choice if you want to stay in a quiet, comfortable place in great surroundings.

Miinukset: Huoneemme oli baarin yläpuolella, mistä kuului musiikki huoneeseen. Siirryimme huoneeseen joka oli ravintolan yläpuolella. Meteliä aamuin ja illoin, mutta parempi kuitenkin.

Plussat: Well trained professional staff Very clean Good access to beach Good breakfast buffet

Miinukset: Rooms a bit old Not ideal for solo travelers

Plussat: really enjoyed our stay, the hotel had so much to offer - a really romantic setting with loads of different options to pass the time.

Miinukset: I would like to have the option of a double bed in the room rather than two beds pushed together - took a while to get used to the memory foam mattress!

Plussat: This would be theideal hotel for people wishingto get away from the hustle and bustle extremely peaceful.

Plussat: The location, with immediate access to great countryside and coastline

Miinukset: More variety in the buffet dinner would have been welcome

Plussat: excellent hotel and real value for money

Miinukset: nothing , all is perfect

Plussat: Lovely hotel with excellant helpfull staff

Miinukset: There wasn't anything that I didn't like

Plussat: Viihtyisä, siisti, rauhallinen, aamupala ja ruuat monipuolisia, lähellä muitakin mukavia ruokaravintoloita, maisemat upeat.

Miinukset: Palvelut ja ruokailut melko hinnakkaita. Ravintolaesiintyjät saisivat vaihtua useamminkin.

Plussat: Hotellin maisemat upeat, sisäuima-allas oli mukava lisä

Miinukset: Kirkuvat pikkulapset, joita oli enemmän kuin yksi naapurihuoneissa. Äänieristys todella huono huoneiden välillä, kaikki kuului. Siivoojat änkesivät aamulla jo ennen klo 8.00 siivoamaan, jota en missään nimessä voi ymmärtää , kun ihmiset ovat lomalla ja haluavat nukkua pidempään.

Plussat: Nothing was a problem in the hotel staff lovely

Miinukset: No just walk to the beach but I probably unfit

Plussat: Facilities were brilliant, and view spectacular

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: all

Miinukset:

Plussat: Uimaranta vieressä

Miinukset: Asiakaspalvelu ontui: 2 henkilöä ryhmästämme valitti rikkinäisestä suihkuletkusta; korjaaminen kesti 4 päivää!! Tälläiset viat pitäisi korjata samana päivänä!

Plussat: Location,views, facilities and beach

Miinukset: No courtesy Room
