Hotel berhampiran Connection Bar di Albufeira

My wife and I stayed here in late November 23 for a week ,a rest and a bit of sunshine The hotel is ideally located and close enough to the ***** and the hotel Located on what is known as worm roundabout (they all have names apparently) on the main road through Albufeira,but don’t let that worry you ,we weren’t bothered by the noise We had a room facing the hotel at the rear which only got the sun early morning ,the ones at front get the most sun if you like a bit balcony time The hotel is nice enough and very clean ,the cleaning staff work very hard . However the rooms require some updating to the bathrooms and kitchen areas ,but ax a base it’s good enough The pool although is large may not be in summer when the hotel is full All the staff we came across where very friendly

Todo muy bien, lo mejor es la ubicacion donde se encuentra se sitúa en el mejor sitio de Albufeira en todo el centro alrededor de discotecas bares pares todo un lujo la zona después el desayuno muy bien pastelitos de chocolate fruta zumo esprimido beicon, el colchón súper cómodo tiene climatizador la habitación pantalla plana y balcón con vistas a todo el mello de la fiesta con cristales insonorizados todo un lujo volveré😃😃

O hotel é grande e tem várias atrações, desde piscinas interio e exterior e animação, ginásio, parque infantil, tudo isso muito bom. Pontos positivos- limpeza impecável, simpatia dos funcionários, água quente, os pequenos electrodomésticos velhos mas funcionaram na perfeição, a TV por cabo com vários canais. Pontos negativos- os móveis são velhos, os colchões desconfortável, na receção fui atendida por uma pessoa inexperiente e estava a cobrar duas vezes o valor da cama extra, internet muito fraca, nunca conseguimos apanhar sinal durante a estadia. Muita coisa a melhorar para um bom conforto dos hóspedes.

Stayed for 7 nights towards end of Sept with my partner in a 1 bed ground floor apartment. We were instantly wary to see a group of 16 men on the transfer heading to the same location. Not the start of the relaxing holiday we wanted. Had we been aware that large groups would be here we would not have booked this. Would be good if this was mentioned on the SMY and tour operators’ website. We felt very uncomfortable from checking in. The apartment was clean and kitchen well kitted out. Shame we were on the ground floor as heard everything being scraped on the floors above us, money being dropped and people being sick not to mention the loud music and shouting (inside and out) and being overlooked by groups of men. The air con mentioned was only in the living room with a fan in the bedroom. Had to report ants on the worktops. Walls were marked and dinted from doors slamming and had a dirty unstable sofa bed. Was kitted out in cheap Ikea furniture which suggests damages often happen as it’s easy to replace. The holiday price didn’t reflect this! Had plenty of towels to last until they were changed on day 4. The shower over the bath was just a shower attachment that sprayed water all over, a simple adjustable shower holder would solve this. Noise echoed all round the blocks with people drunkenly shouting from balconies to mates etc and swearing (total lack of respect for anyone else all day and night.) This wasn’t all Brits either. The ”rules” only seemed to be followed if complaints were made e.g .noise. The couple of times we tried to relax by the pool were spoilt by groups loudly discussing their drunken conquests, shouting, swearing, planning to take over the pool for a stag do which resulted in females being *****ped naked by the pool the following day in front of young families. The rest of the time we went to the beach to escape. We felt very sorry for the young families and everyone else trying to enjoy the facilities which we all paid for. We’ve also never stayed anywhere where non residents were allowed to enter on evenings and stay from the people we saw wandering about asking how to leave - despite security needing to let you in after 12 at night. Outside was surrounded by lots of restaurants and bars and 2 lovely beaches. Staff were lovely. Ideally located for a restful holiday but SMY seems to be trying to please everyone and sadly wouldn't stay again.

Fantastic, was neevous about it due to revies. Don't listen to the negatives. Great place and would deffo come back again. My new favourite place, everything you need. Great wntertainment and lots of food options that accomodate everyone

At best its a 4star property. During our stay hotel wasnt at its best, so ill put 3.5 stars. Hotel entrance looks like a train station waiting room. For a moment we thought that we are underground as its dark everywhere inside the hotel. Toilets were smelly on the entrance ground, Windows were cleaned on Christmas last year i think. Dirty floors. Rooms are dingy, but spacious.. Lots of cupboard space. you cant use the mirrors in bath area as its too dark. Water in Toilet bowl keeps on going unless you fiddle with the push buttons. TV Remote was filthy. Towels are from the 10th century, use with care! Toiletries are basic brands, nothing oo la la! Breakfast is good, not excellent. Theres a live station for omelettes and pancakes. Coffee from nescafe machines with pods, again not very 5 star standard. Stay here if you have a good price deal but not high expectations. DO NOT EXPECT 5 STAR SERVICE! You have been warned.

Don’t believe all the silly reviews! I have literally just landed home after a long weekend here with a friend! Yes I was prepared to pay a cash deposit but it wasn’t asked for on arrival! Check in says 4pm but they were ever so kind as to let us into our room at 11am! The hotel is very clean! 3 pools! 1 inside which is lovely and warm! If you like cold water dipping(like me) the outdoor ones may be better! We have a huge apartment that was stocked with every utensil you could possibly need! Full cooker microwave, kettle, toaster! The apartments are light and airy! Air con machines are great on warm or cold! Our room was cleaned with fresh towels daily! For the price we paid for our weekend away we seriously could not moan about this hotel! It’s split into 3 separate buildings! We were in number 1! And apart from check in and check out we literally didn’t see a soul! Old town is just down the road! €4.50 in a taxi and the same to the *****! Quiet this time of year but some great bars! All in all we absolutely loved our stay! Loved Albufeira! And couldn’t fault a thing about the holiday! It’s not 5 star but it’s like a home from home! Supermarket really close which sells stunning fresh produce and is really cheap with a huge selection of food! Don’t always believe the bad reviews! You aren’t paying 5* prices! Again loved our stay and would 100% stay here again!

I wanted to do a review as before we left I was extremely nervous reading some of the negative ones on here. So we went for 10 night family holiday. 2 adult and 3 kids (16, 10 & 6) We arrived at 1am, checked in with security & a mini van brought us to our apartment. I was pleasantly surprised by our apartment. It was 2 bed, 1 bathroom 1 ensuite (but the same size as bathroom) apartment with loads if space. I couldn't believe the space! Fully equipped kitchen with oven, hob, dishwasher, microwave, toaster,coffee machine, fridge and separate freezer. There was also a washing machine & dryer. Plenty of towels and hair dryer in one of the bathrooms. Aircon in bedrooms and living room. Good size comfortable couch/ sofa bed. T.v in living room and bedroom. An extendable kitchen table & 6 chairs. Garden terrace with garden furniture. The resort itself is beautiful and spotlessly clean. It is very big with a good few hills. We didn't mind this but something to bare in mind if you struggle with hills, are in a wheelchair or need extra walking assistance. There was a few creepy crawlies/ spiders/ ants but this didn't bother me. It's a garden village not a 5* hotel complex. There was no building work being carried out when we were there. The area was so peaceful and quiet. Even a night time. There are 4 pools over the resort in different areas. Each area is spotlessly clean and have a snack bar/ restaurant. We spent most of our days at La Pergola poolarea as the kids just preferred it here. There was always a few sunbeds available. Food was lovely, staff we just so nice & friendly, cocktails were good too! Our first morning we had breakfast at Casa Azul. Food & service was excellent and the view was beautiful. We had dinner on two night in O Pavilhão. The food here was exceptional!!! Could not fault one thing. And the staff were amazing, so friendly. I genuinely could not recommend this place enough! Mini market was handy. A bit pricey but had all the essentials. We went to Pingo Doce supermarket about 10min walk from the resort to do a big shop when we arrived. There was a fruit stall along the way and the peaches here with amazing!!! Staff at reception were always very friendly and helpful. We got a local taxi to the Old Town most days, which cost 5e as we needed a 5/6 seater for us all. We got it to taxi rank 1, it was just a 2 min walk from the main square. I tried Uber one two occasions and it was just a disaster so I stuck with the local service and they were friendly, quick and efficient. Never let us down! When we were leaving we got a taxi from taxi rank 2 a few nights and this cost 6e. The weather was amazing while we were here also. Temperatures ranging from 26°- 31°. My only criticism would be the level of cleaning done in the apartment before we arrived. There were a few stains on the counter tops, fridge & freezer doors, inside the fridge. I always do a clean when I arrive somewhere to stay but it's unfortunate that it wasn

La ubicación y la playa que tiene es una pasada. Las habitaciones bien. La terraza si es con vistas al mar es muy chula. Y la piscina es una pasada también

Du personnel a l’établissement en passant par le petit déjeuner, la piscine, le SPA, les services, l’accueil, les sourires, la gentillesse, le calme tout était parfait ! Merci pour ces quelques jours à vos côtés !
