Hotel berhampiran Pau da Bandeira viewpoint, Albufeira

We stayed at this hotel during our first trip to Albufeira. From the outside the hotel doesn't look that much, however, once you go inside that all changes. The hotel is very clean and well kept throughout including the rooms. We stayed in a self catering apartment which was great and was kept very clean throughout our stay. The noise stated on the previous reviews didn't impact ourselves during our stay, we were road facing as well. The only thing we'd have liked was a little more storage in room, however, this isn't a major issue. The pool area was lovely with two large pools, the pool bar is also convenient during the day for a quick pint. The onsite restaurant was really good for lunch, this was also reasonably priced. The bar staff are absolutely brilliant. I'm awful at remembering names so I can't mention any in particular, however, every single one of them goes above and beyond. Absolutely amazing staff. We will be back again next year! Thank you

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.

Posizione ottima per l’accesso al mare (spiaggia di Albufeira ) e alle scogliere . Centro raggiungibile in 15m attraverso la spiaggia ma anche con un bus navetta gratuito fornito dall’hotel. Bella piscina ( freddina per la stagione ) .Ottima colazione e buffet abbastanza variabile con orari prolungati.Struttura un po’ datata in particolare la camera ( climatizzatore dei vicini un po’rumoroso e necessità di qualche revisione)

Fantástico dez estrelas staff super atencioso estive com 3 crianças e conseguiram proporcionar uma excelente localização do apartamento. Recomendo vivamente. A repetir para o ano sem dúvida. Estão todos de parabéns.

We had a decent holiday but our accommodation could not be described as 4 star.We were allocated 036 supposedly a superior apartment, we requested overlooking the pool and away from the road but that didn't happen.The apartment must be privately owned and rented out as most of the storage cupboards were locked.The apartment was in poor condition, door handles coming off,smoke alarm broken off,no cushions very basic and spartan.Wi fi non existant. Cleaning didn't happen every two days as stated in the info leaflet. We have been to Clube Albufeira several times but the service has deteriorated. No shuttle bus,no help with luggage and it is very hilly,not very user friendly. We have had some good holidays here but we won't be going again.aIts a shame .

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.

Overall the hotel is good but there are issues. We booked half board with Jet 2 and on check in at the hotel we were told we could not used the Italian restaurant as half board, this is not what jet 2 website on hotel website state, we would not have booked this hotel otherwise. After discussions with jet 2 rep and management we did use Italian 3 times, I think in the future guests will be limited to the a la carte which has very limited menu. The pool area does not have enough sunbeds and parasols to go round plus most parasols are broken, dirty and sunbeds tired. Some people’s towels were left around pool area on the floor for days. There are not enough staff, bar staff have to clear and tidy pool area, it’s not their fault it is managements. The drinks are quite pricey in bar. The mattresses need a topper which I asked for otherwise they are lumpy and have plastic cover. The staff, especially Marco did a great job being so understaffed. There is not much to see in the area so it’s a case of staying in the hotel.

Before heading out to Portugal I was in regular contact with the hotel and they we're very prompt and helpful with my queries. They also organised transport from the airport which was €45 for the two of us, however, on the return journey, it was €55 as it was before 8am - something we were not advised if up front. (We later learned that you could organise an Uber or transport direct from the airport for around €25-€30, so it pays to do more research beforehand). Arrived at the hotel to be greeted by lovely, courteous staff and was told we had been given a room upgrade (we had booked a 2 bed apartment with balcony and this was upgraded to one of their 2 bed terraced apartments) - WOW! I shed a tear when we found the terrace!  The hotel also accommodated our request to be away from nightly entertainment noise - so grateful for that! The apartment was huge, clean and was very well kitted out - full kitchen, crockery, cutlerty, cooking equipment, fridge with mini freezer, hob, microwave, kettle etc, lovely lounge/diner area and two huge bedrooms, one with ensuite, and another bathroom. The usual liquid soap, shampoo/ bodywash and  conditioner all supplied by the hotel. There are 4 USB ports in each bedroom and also a 2 x 3 pin plug sockets. The hotel is situated on a busy road, and depending on where your room is, this may be an issue. Soundproofing in the apartment itself is very good i.e. I couldn't hear my husband's snoring, but even with patio doors/windows shut, traffic and outside noise is very evident (even though they're double glazed).   I found the mattress very hard, and after chasing Reception twice, a soft mattress topper was provided, which helped a lot. I had an issue with a loose toilet seat and this was promptly sorted by maintenance. Housekeeping - towels and bed linen changed every 3 days.  Bottle of water supplied every day - they will provide more if required.  We booked all inclusive and found, like a lot of previous reviews, the food to be disappointing.  It was lukewarm and sometimes very dried out.  There wasn't a huge selection of salads, desserts or mains (2 different meats, 2 fish, rice, a pasta dish, some potatoes, kids section with fish fingers, nuggets, chips etc and a vegan section with 4 dishes) and as a last resort, you could have pizza if nothing took your fancy, which happened on several occasions. Soups were mostly fish or bean/barley based but there was a nice tomato and a carrot/pumpkin soup which was nice. Desserts were never named, and a lot of the cakes contained nuts so for those with allergens, I would recommend you ask the kitchen staff as to what's in the desserts before you tuck in. There was always fresh fruit and cheese and biscuits too (again, this never varied). There was a small selection of bread and rolls, which remained the same choice throughout breakfast, lunch and dinner. Cooked breakfast was the usual bacon, sausages, hash browns, baked beans, mushrooms, tomatoes etc plus a sele

Amazing place, 2 big bedrooms we booked and they were huge. Clean in general. Had all kitchen and catering amenities. Staff was kind. For the price it was a steal. Highly recommend this place. It’s about 12 min drive to albufeira center. There’s a Aldi in 5 min drive very handy. The place has a common swimming pool we did not use it as it was still a bit chilly and we were tired too. Lot of parking around inside the villa. The only downsides I can say and they are minor the shower could be slightly better spray that’s it. 5/5 for me.
