Top Albufeira Hotel Reviews

The Westin Salgados Beach Resort, Algarve

8/10 Good

"Dinner was hit and missed in their restaurant, not expected in a Westin. The grill by the pool that’s not included is excellent. Love how close the beach is and amenities are great. Our double bed room is a bit too small, no table/ chair to sit. Staff are helpful."

Hotel Da Gale

10/10 Excellent

"Imaculaterly clean, decent breakfast, excellent price-quality ratio!"

Hotel Indigo Albufeira by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very well laid out. Clean convenient location and the staff was excellent. Overall a great experience."

EPIC SANA Algarve Hotel

8/10 Good

"Breakfast buffet was tasty, the view from Praia da Falésia was breathtaking and the overall stay was great"

Hotel Alisios

10/10 Excellent

"Hate to say it because this boutique hotel already appears popular, but it's fantastic. The location is right on the beach and a short 10-minute walk to the lively commercial area with all the bars, restaurants and shopping. We had a premium room with balcony overlooking the beach which we adored. Sipping port wine on the balcony after dinner was priceless. The actual room was on the smaller size but was totally adequate. Generally, we’re only in it to change and sleep anyway. Other rooms have courtside views. The restaurant on the top floor was also very good. The breakfast was typical but better quality than most other hotels we stayed at in Portugal."

PortoBay Falésia

8/10 Good

"Excellent in most ways but just failing in one key area: the sunbeds which are, after all, used for many hours a day, are far too taut and require, for any comfort for over 15 minutes, a mattress as they have in some of the beds in their sister hotel, 10 minutes' walk away This is such a pity, as so much else is nice about the hotel. It could also do with a wider range of pillows for the room beds, which are memory foam and therefore not the most comfortable. The air conditioning is inadequate and needs to provide lower temperatures. We were too warm every night, in the month of October. As in many resorts, the nightly entertainment is mediocre, with the same kind of musicians playing too loudly, to the discomfort of those who want to chat rather than dance or be deafened, using backing tracks and with little ability to play requests or vary music styles. If the volume was lower, most people could put up with the very average and sometimes below-average singing quality of the artists. This drives away rather than attracts many residents but those who have low appreciation and high tolerance levels. The food was excellent at breakfast and the table arrangements were fine. Pool water was always clean and at a nice temperature, even whilst the sea is warmer than usual. This hotel is closing for an upgrade over the next 6 or 7 months, and we hope that these problems might be addressed to bring it up to the standard of which it is certainly capable. No BBC News is available."

Hotel Apartamento Brisa Sol

8/10 Good

"I had a great stay here! The accommodation was lovely, and the location was perfect. It’s conveniently located close to the Old Town, and if you want to explore the New Town, it’s around a 15-minute walk or just a 5-minute taxi ride away. The hotel staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I was even given a complimentary upgrade at check-in, which was such a lovely surprise! As a solo female traveller, feeling safe and comfortable is really important to me, and this accommodation exceeded my expectations. I felt safe and secure throughout my stay, and the staff were attentive, looked out for me and made me feel genuinely comfortable. I would definitely recommend this accommodation, especially to anyone travelling solo. Great location, lovely staff and a really positive experience overall. I would happily stay here again!"
