Albufeira hotellit lähellä Beach of Santa Eulalia

Plussat: The hotel itself is stunning, the pool is big and there are plenty of sun beds available throughout the day so there is no need to be in a rush to get down to the pool and reserve a bed. Supermarkets are all nearby as well as the main strip which is about a 5 minute walk. The beach is also very close, approximately a 10-15 minute walk.

Miinukset: The hotel staff were not friendly at all throughout our trip, it seemed as though they did not like young adults staying at the hotel, simply based on how we were treated in comparison to older guests. Only once were we told by security to turn off our music which we admittedly had been playing till late in the night however, before this moment we had done nothing wrong but were not welcomed at all. Even when leaving we were told if our flight was later in the day we could use all the hotel's facilities like usual and shower/freshen up using the health club facilities, however when doing so it was made out like we were being hassle for the staff. To make matters worse when waiting and loading the cab for our journey back to the airport, the staff did not even say goodbye to us which i thought was extremely rude and unacceptable

Plussat: Very clean and tidy

Miinukset: Good facilities available in apartment and room

Plussat: Great location and plenty of food options for dinner and lunch if you don’t want to leave the hotel. Rooms were spacious and really clean. Close to bars and restaurants but just far enough away you aren’t in the middle of everything. We were a group of friends but great for families and couples as well.

Miinukset: A friend would have liked to have had a ladder at the deep end of the pool

Plussat: Lovely clean, spacious apartment. Beautiful pool area. Plenty sun loungers and umbrellas. Helpful Staff.

Miinukset: Air con in sitting room wasn’t working so room was very hot to sleep in. Bedroom aircon worked well.

Plussat: This hotel is a little gem. It is absolutely immaculate. This is my second stay and would recommend it to anyone. I always stay board only, so can’t comment on the restaurants, but have had breakfast there and food from the snack bar and both are nice. The staff are so lovely, always friendly and will do anything for you.

Miinukset: The rooms aren’t sound proofed. You can hear everything from surrounding rooms.

Plussat: Clean place.

Plussat: It was a fantastic apartment, we got an unexpected upgrade. Very well equipped and very clean. The shop was very handy. It is in a quiet location, but you do have to walk a short distance to the main part of the strip.

Miinukset: The only slight downside was the private swimming lessons in the indoor pool on weekday evenings. The outdoor pool was also pretty cold.

Plussat: Great room , clean and tidy hotel, really relaxing Time here , would highly recommend hotel

Miinukset: Nothing, it was all excellent

Plussat: Staff was very quick solving a minor issue with the TV remote control

Miinukset: Old fashion furniture and equipment. Too expensive

Miinukset: Second building too far away

Plussat: all very good

Plussat: Very helpful personnel

Miinukset: Last night the airco stopped working

Plussat: Staff very friendly and helpful. Pools were fantastic. Excellent beach just a short walk away. Very clean and manicured.

Miinukset: Entertainment was a bit poor.

Plussat: The outdoor heated pool was a nice touch, travelling in October meant we could still use the pool as the other pools were a little chilly. The buffet was well stocked and decent enough quality. We liked the facilities as a whole and very good for kids with the activities and our daughter loved the disco and face painting

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: Overall very good rating. As highlights: distance to the beach, heated pool, room cleanliness.

Miinukset: No major comments regarding the hotel. Only thing I dislike was guests throwing cigarettes everywhere and drinking alcohol in pools and leaving empty glass next to it after.

Plussat: Amazing place. Lots to do in the complex before venturing out. Beach is great as well and close by

Miinukset: There was a Coin jammed in place where you put your room key card. Bit awkward trying to get electric on. Not the hotels faultbut a previous guest. Room 304

Plussat: It was brilliant for kids, plenty swimming pools and play areas, the complex had everything you needed, so we didn’t really have to leave. Food was lovely to. Couldn’t really fault anything. Would definitely stay here again.

Miinukset: It was quiet expensive, and the access to the nearest beach wasn’t great, especially if u have small children and buggies, it’s a bit of a walk and you’ll have to take a lot of steps down to access it. If you do want to do any sight seeing, shopping, visit the old town of Albufeira or go to the water parks you’ll have to take a bus or taxi.

Plussat: We loved everything! This hotel is amazing staff are very friendly. Facilities are brilliant and food was gorgeous.

Plussat: lovely place to stay with access to a stunning beach

Miinukset: there is no where nice to walk outside of the resort although there are some nice local restuarants. Also while this is a very family friendly hotel there were no life guards at the pool which we felt was very important given the number of small children.

Plussat: The apartment was excellent. The grounds and pools were lovely. The mimi-market had a good choice.

Miinukset: We paid for a Prestige apartment then had to pay extra for pool towels and a safe.

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

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

Plussat: Extremely comfortable beds and large rooms. Most staff really friendly. Food is delicious. Choice of pools. Short walk to the shops. Access to the beach. Secure resort, felt very safe.

Miinukset: Could do with a refurb to give it the 5 star feel. Sunbed loungers could be more comfortable. Restaurant opening hours could improve.

Plussat: Comfy beds cleanliness fantastic robes & slippers in room food fantastic

Miinukset: Music by night very sedate - was expecting a room with either sea view or resort view but view was of the car park which was very disappointing!

Plussat: Good breakfasts, convenient location, nice beach, views.

Miinukset: Reception service was rather unhelpful and unpleasant. They didn't fulfill any of my request, they didn't answer any question. Mold in the bathroom and bedroom. It definitely needs renovation, and it got five stars probably half a century ago. On the beach they collect a fee for sunbeds, but there is nothing like showers or toilets there.

Plussat: Good location, in front of the beach.

Miinukset: Staff not qualified, old furniture, not refurbished. Unacceptable deposit of €200 that was just refunded more than one week after the check-out. More important, when doing check-in I haven’t been informed of this deposit. Currently the hotel hosts massive groups of young people for events. When I arrived at the hotel around midnight there was people completely drunk in all areas of the hotel and shouting in the lobby and in the pool area, playing drums loudly even after midnight. Staff did nothing to calm down people. This hotel was very good 10 years ago but not anymore.

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: food ok

Miinukset: asked for a high floor,we were on -1. room seemed a bit tired. tea making facilities but no milk,when i enquired i was told "but the portuguese do not have milk in their tea or coffee,i think they must have it made with cold water,as the only plug was under dressing table,where you had to go on hands and knees to plug it in (5 star i dont think so).during our stay the tea and coffee was not replaced(we managed to buy milk at the bar).There was supposed to be a free bus into the town(to far to walk on busy road),but due to so called technical problems was not running (is this typical 5 star)

Plussat: good

Miinukset: bathroom ligths not good

Plussat: Breakfast was varied with plenty of choice Staff were very attentive Beach was attached

Miinukset: Free beds on the beach if you were staying at the hotel instead of being charged

Plussat: Location & staff

Miinukset: Drinks & food are expensive! Lunch in hotel buffet was €30 each! For ‘all inclusive style food’ bit of a joke.

Plussat: Good location, close to the beach but also near to night life and good restaurants. Plenty of car parking places, some of them covered. Direct Access to the beach The green space inside resort

Miinukset: For a total cost of +/-500€ per night, as per Hotel site, the offered accommodations are not up to the minimum requirements regarding quality/cleanness/services. The space/location is really beautiful but the offered services, the quality/variety of food, the outdated villas/apartments and the cleanness of space are acceptable for a 3-4 star hotel. Not a 5* like this one is presented. Pool: (1) Draining around the pool (Overflow) completely filth. I believe they were never washed (2) Deck has loose wood boards which can be extremely danger (3) Small tables completely dirt. Not cleaned even at the end of the day (4) area around pools are never organized (5) The Pool bar closes when the pools are still open. The clients on the tables are not informed about the imminent close and not asked if they want to order something before is too late (6) Only bad quality towels are provide (Some of them in really bad conditions). The pickup location is close to reception instead of pools/beach. (7) one pool without any type of staff support. Rooms: (1) Moisture/Humidity issues in several walls (2) Entrance door with holes which allow to look inside (3) Air extractors placed on WC's are extremely noisy. No easy way to turn them off (4) One WC is equipped with an extremely small shower (+/-70x55cm) making impossible not to permanently touch the curtain (bad design because there is enough space) (5) Hot tub not working (6) Poor set of amenities. Reception: (1) They offer an upgrade, one room apt to two room apt. This was perceived as a nice gesture when in reality was just a way they found to solve a problem they created: There was no T1 prepared because they were not expecting us (Bad communication, I guess) (2) The hotel was not crowded even so, the offered "upgrade" put my family on an apartment at resort entrance (far away from beach/reception) and with all rooms facing a busy public street.

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

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: Beds were comfy, staff were friendly

Miinukset: As a young couple this hotel is more suited to older couples maybe it was just the time of year

Plussat: The spacious rooms with balcony, the pool area and the friendly staff working in the restaurant. The salad we had for lunch was really good, and lots on the plate.

Miinukset: The SPA. Very unhelpful. You needed 20 EUR in cash deposit to get a towel, and you couldn’t put it on the room or pay a few hours later. The gym was 6EUR for every time you wanted to use it, and it was not that well equipped so you really thought it was worth to pay for every visit there. Should be included in a hotel with that standard.

Plussat: Food and drink reasonably priced for a 4 star hotel. Big rooms well equipped

Miinukset: Liked everything

Plussat: Sijainti OK ja ystävällinen palvelu.

Plussat: Excellent location so close to Santa Eulália beach and a short walk to the strip while being far enough away to avoid noise. Very comfortable hotel lovely pool and garden area. Food is good in the hotel and very reasonably priced. Rooms are clean and hotel is cleaned all the time. Staff are very nice. Aircon is also great

Miinukset: Thin mats in the room look like from Ikea, very dangerous fell over a few times so rolled the mats up only to find the floor very dirty and dusty underneath. The mats are a waste of time as they could cause an accident and are so unhygenic. It was the only let

Plussat: Friendly hotel staff, nice atmosphere

Miinukset: A little bit too dark on a room

Plussat: Clean, comfortable and great location

Plussat: The rooms are very large and comfortable. The hotel itself is situated close to the beaches, the buffet breakfast was nice.

Miinukset: After all, it's a huge hotel, smaller places are cuter

Plussat: Great location, super friendly staff, very clean well equipped rooms. Perfect for what we needed.

Miinukset: Cold swimming pool, maybe could do with heating.

Plussat: Good location, 10 minutes from beach, room was a 2 bedroom suite, parking easy, good food

Plussat: It was our birthday so they provided champagne which was a very nice touch and much appreciated - the apartment was also very spacious and the cleaners done their job extremely well!

Plussat: All you need , shower good , room had all we needed. Supermarket across the road .

Miinukset: Swimming pool a bit underwhelming, no pool bar .

Plussat: Hotel is beautiful. Has a group of girls we had the best time in the 3 bed apartment. Will definitely be returning xxxx

Plussat: Loved the 2 outdoor pools, didn't use the indoor pool, loved the reception area and the bar was beautiful, staff were really helpful.

Miinukset: The room was nothing like the photos I saw online when booking, definately in need of a facelift. We couldn't get a key for the safe as there were none left, we had to ask for one to be put aside for us when someone with a key checked out. The safe itself was on the floor of the wardrobe and not facing out, so you couldn't see inside the safe hand to kneel on the floor and feel about for what we needed. The microwave oven was also located on the floor in the kitchen. None of the above stopped us from enjoying our stay, just a few small gripes, easily fixed.

Plussat: Great Location

Plussat: We had a one bedroom apartment which was big enough, nice big comfy bed. Nice and quiet around the pool with plenty of sun loungers. Good location, plenty of local bars and restaurants.

Miinukset: Breakfast was ok, rooms a bit dated.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: No bar in reception open Tried beer in bankers which wasnt nice so couldnt use it. Cleaning poor Constantly asking for toilet rolls. Balancy wasnt swept or washed once whilst we were there. Most times the rooms wasnt cleaned until 4/5pm Hairdressers not opened as per their timetable

Plussat: the apartment was over looking the pool. apartment very large . a wall seperating the bed from the front room. entertainment at night which was very enjoyable . there were a lot of sunbeds which ment you didn't have to put a towel on. you could go down any time very centreal

Miinukset: there was nothing to dislike about the hotel

Plussat: Nice hotel, with good facilities as very clean. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Not a lot of shops close by.

Plussat: Service was excellent, breakfast was very good the dining room staff were very friendly and helpful. We were very impressed with the staff on reception after an initial mix up over our booking they looked after us with care. Our thanks to Annabella,, Laura, grateful thanks to Edgar & Philippe for sorting out our technology problems.

Miinukset: The bedrooms were a bit tired.

Plussat: The location was excellent.

Miinukset: Very little cleaning done by housekeeper in the apartment.

Plussat: Good for kids, food was excellent!

Miinukset: Entertaining and all inclusive

Plussat: From arrival we were treated really well staff couldnt do enough for you. Entertainment was brilliant everyday something on and everyone gets involved kids and adults. Room was bigger than i seen in pictures and cleaned daily. Location is great 3 min walk to new strip and 10 min bus ride to old town *free bus from hotel every hour . This hotel exceeded my expectation from thr mixed reviews i read i was apprehensive however there was no need to be.food was great also i had fussy eaters with me and they managed to survive ! Me however i aye like a queen for the week. Would deffo return already trying to convince the other half to book for next year

Miinukset: Maybe more selection of plain food like not in a sauces. This was o ly some nights it was in loads of sauce and as said fussy eaters . Entertainment in evening is great however if i could suggest one thing it to have a pop culture night

Plussat: I enjoyed the hotel as an overall experience. The all inclusive was very useful as you get breakfast, lunch and dinner, free wine and beer in the pool bar and free spirits and cocktails in the inside bar all day up to 11pm. The outdoor pool was excellent as well as the indoor pool. The shuttle bus during the daytime to the Old Town was very useful.

Miinukset: The buffet food was a bit repetitive, but still a bit selection.

Plussat: Staff was very nice and friendly. The staff in the grill a la carte resultant were very nice and friendly, Sergio was very funny and helpful. The food was ok but it’s pretty much the same type of food and desserts as the main all inclusive restaurant. The hotel is in a good location and offers free shuttles to the center and back. Our room was clean and spacious, had a balcony and small kitchen.

Miinukset: No proper entertainment area at night so there’s no atmosphere at night. For big families it makes sense to stay there as rooms are spacious and there are plenty of children in the hotel, but if you are a couple I would highly recommend a different hotel. It’s not worth the money you pay for it. The food is ok, don't expect too many options, only for salads. - they have wine tab and beer and the wine is very watery. Desserts are ok. There is water dripping from one of the aircon machines in the 5th floor. The water drips in the middle of the hallway and they have a big bucket to catch it. - We saw the bucket the whole time of our stay. The piña coladas and mojitos are served from a premix dispenser machine. No snaks bar like most all inclusive hotels. 5:00pm is the latest check I have ever seen, we were arriving late anyway, but I found this a bit exaggerated specially when check out is between 9-11am and late check out is not an option (we were told).

Plussat: The sight seeing, activities for tourist, and also entertainment. The free bus from the hotel to take us to the beach in the old square and the centre to shop. And also enjoyed eating out at different restaurant tasting different cultures of food.

Miinukset: The beds at the hotel wasn't very comfortable and I found myself tossing and turning to try to get comfy. The breakfast was fine, but we had dinner one night which wasn't to my satisfaction. That's why we started to eat out.

Plussat: The location was great, the food was delicious

Miinukset: we would have like to stay longer!
