Hotel berhampiran Rotunda do Golfinho, Albufeira

Such a lovely 10 day stay. The staff are friendly and polite and nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were spotlessly clean, linens changed every day. The view from our room was stunning (304). The breakfast was buffet and the choice astounding. We also ate a few times in the ground floor restaurant and of course used the ice cream parlour! We spent a few evenings in the bar, with Noonoo at the piano ( except for Sundays when we were entertained by ”Presumed Innocent”) fantastic place to watch the sun go down and served in luxury. We loved it. Thank you all. PS. To contradict an earlier reviewer. There IS a swimming pool, but we didn't use it as the beach is on the doorstep!

superb breakfast incluid , 1 minute from the beach 10 walk from the shops supermarket cafe and nigth life .

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 .

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.

Would stay again. approx. 1.5m from old town but less than 5 euro in Uber. Spotless clean. Staff very friendly and couldnt be more helpful. Great breakfast as part of room booking. Quiet at night but some bars and restaurants within 2 min walking distance.

Le domaine est vraiment très très beau, la chambre est vieillotte en plus la ménage est à revoir l’odeur d’humidité, et les draps humide c’est pas top, nous sommes arrivé il y avait de la nourriture dans notre frigo nous avons signalé et on nous a répondu que c’est à la dame de ménage elle pensait pas qu’il y avait du monde , donc aucun Check avant l’arrivé. L’emplacement au top !

Bon service et chambre élégante et récente. Petits reproches: pas de miroir grossissant dans la salle de bain, ni de peignoir de bain à disposition. Petits déjeuners corrects. Vous êtes à 10 min à pieds de la plage. Sinon un véhicule est indispensable pour bouger car le quartier est très calme.

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
