Estoi Spa Hotel

"Left very early and did not park a car. Just want to say the staff and hotel location were both great."

"Lovely hotel. Fantastic location and view. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The decor is very stylish and the overall vibe is lovely. Housekeeping is ok but I think can be better. I’m "

"Another fabulous stay at the Grande Real Santa Eulalia, everything was perfect - you can not get a better ocean view in all of Albufeira"

"This is a beautiful, well equipped hotel that lets itself down due to corporate greed, amateur level service and lack of attention to detail. The hotel itself, the ground, the pools and the setting behind Falésia Beach are stunning. The place was immaculate, the heated pools were glorious, the rooms were large and comfortable and we slept well. However, after paying for our stay upfront (nearly €1500 for a few days) we were basically informed that our money was not good enough. The front desk said “what we do now is put a hold on your card for expenses and we suggest €100 a day.” I said I’d like to pay as I go. I did not appreciate being told to pre pay, particularly being told how much I should be spending. It was presumptious, tacky and exploitative, especially given that the hotel restaurants are extremely expensive and the menus average. For the next 24 hours there was a red banner on my glitchy guest app saying my credit had expired and I must contact front desk. This eventually changed to in credit. Our experience eating in the hotel was only the sub standard breakfast, which staff could not keep warm. Cold eggs, sausages, pancakes, potato rosti on 3 occasions. We stopped eating the hot breakfast. On the 2nd day I told front desk about the cold breakfast and the rep was unhelpful; she wanted me to tell the restaurant staff, not her. Eventually she agreed to pass on the feedback when I also reported that my shower was broken. This isn’t 5 star quality. "

"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Such a lovely place to stay with lovely staff always so helpful. "

"Great location stayed several times friendly staff "

"The hotel surpassed my expectations! I was expecting a pretty average hotel for the price, but it was lovely - modern, clean, great pool area, short walk into main Old Town. Thank you for a great stay!"

"It’s opposite the Marina and within walking access to the Old town. The train and bus stations are a short walk away. This made the stay convenient. We got a bottle of wine as part of the hotels.com reservation which was great. We went for the half board option expecting a buffet for dinner but instead we had a three course meal which far outweighed the costs of the half board deal. Bed, pillows and room was comfortable. Good bathroom with toiletries. Also got a free bottle of still and sparkling water. Great deal overall!"

"Beautiful property, great staff, multiple dining options, great gym"
