Hotel Balaia Mar

Hotel Balaia Mar ★★★

📍 Praia Maria Luisa, Olhos de Agua

"I stayed here recently and honestly, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. The hotel is old, outdated, and has zero charm. The rooms are small and while they’re somewhat clean, they’re crawling with bugs. Not exactly what you want when you’re trying to relax. The pool area is basically an extension of the restaurant, which explains why they’re so strict about outside food or drinks — but it’s still ridiculous. You’re not allowed to bring anything with you, not even a snack. They clearly just want to force you to buy their overpriced food and drinks, which aren’t worth it. Speaking of food: the breakfast was soggy and bland, and dinner on the first night was even worse. We didn’t bother going back after that. There is no atmosphere whatsoever. The hotel bar is the most depressing place I’ve ever been. The barman just stares at one of four TVs showing football. No music, no welcome, no vibe. We stayed for an hour just to play pool and it felt like a wake. The bed? Lumpy. The only thing that worked properly was the air conditioning — and that’s about the nicest thing I can say. For the money they charge, this place is a joke. Buggy, boring, and joyless. Avoid."

Hotel Sol e Mar Albufeira - Adults Only
8.4 (110 reviews)

Hotel Sol e Mar Albufeira - Adults Only ★★★★

📍 R. José Bernardino de Sousa, Albufeira

"The location is fantastic, with the room's balcony facing the sea and offering stunning views! It's conveniently located near a tourist train stop. The room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was also quite good, and the service was excellent! The only drawback was the lack of a kettle in the room. Photos: 1. Hotel front entrance; 2. Church next to the hotel; 3. Panoramic view of the hotel facing the sea; 4. Partial view from the room's balcony."

PortoBay Blue Ocean

PortoBay Blue Ocean ★★★★

📍 Quinta do Milharó, Olhos de Agua

"Beautiful hotel which was spotless clean. As an all inclusive booking the only access to food post 6pm was evening meal and felt missing access to snacks in the evening. Very relaxed and laid back setting where nothing was a rush. Maybe some.music in and arou d the pool.area during the day and access to more evening entertainment with games or alternative to jusy the band that were playing would have been good. Overall a pleasant stay and loved the room size and walk in shower"

Hotel Baltum
8.1 (104 reviews)

Hotel Baltum ★★★

📍 Av. 25 de Abril 26, Albufeira

"I found this hotel by chance while searching for a hotel to go to Albufeira in southern Portugal and take a tour of the Benagil Cave and dolphins. There were no reviews from Koreans, only reviews from foreigners, so I hesitated a bit before making my choice, but it felt like I found a pearl on a sandy beach. The hotel is not big, but it was clean and the staff were friendly. The hotel was located in the center of the old town, so all amenities were conveniently available, and it was also in a great location with good accessibility. It is a very beautiful place with a beautiful view of the street and the sea outside the window, but it can be a bit noisy as it is located in the center of the old town. However, it is a good place where even such noise can be enjoyed. Must go"

Monica Isabel Beach Club Hotels in Albufeira

Monica Isabel Beach Club

"Fantastic holiday - Ignore the negative reviews! Stayed here for a week early June as a family of 5 adults and can honestly say we had a great time. Pool area is busy and entertainment team do a good job. Food is good, always a number of options for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Dinner always includes meat, fish, pasta, fresh salad, chips and a kids option i.e. chicken nuggets, fresh fruit, bread and selection of desserts. Breakfast includes fresh fruit, juice or smoothies, cereals, yoghurt, cooked breakfast toast, continental options. Drinks include beers, local spirits, cocktail of the day (others are extra) soft drinks, slush (pool bar) hot drinks. Pool bar also does pizza, garlic bread, baguettes, toasties, crisps and ice cream tubs. Hotel itself is an odd set up logistically but once you find your bearings its fine, rooms are spacious, quite basic (no hairdryer) but were cleaned every day and fresh towels provided. Great views from the hotel and direct access to the beach. We would definitely return."

Muthu Clube Praia da Oura Hotels in Albufeira

Muthu Clube Praia da Oura

"Excellent Location, Private Beach access, Delicious Buffet Dinner and Good buffet Breakfast is the Key Point. It's a massive aparthotel. Service was Okey, not much interaction. Thought, it will be quite due to off season but it was busy due to 3 large Football Club also came for the weekend. Our room was in A block. A bit walk from main reception and restaurant. We booked standard room, so was not expecting much anyway. Room was okey size. There was air-conditioning in the room but no heating. Tried 30 degree with that but room was not warm enough. Toilet was missing Hand wash, no soap, no slippers. Basically no toiletries as expected from 4 star hotel. Positive thing was main Restaurant Jacs. We booked half board. Breakfast was okey. But best part was dinner. Themed dinner every night. Good service and quick refill. Has Outdoor Pool and Sauna. Ocean Bar is good for Sunset view. The location was good. Beach is walking distance. Pub/Club/Supermarket/ restaurants are 5 to 10 min walking distance. So far so good. Would recommend."

3HB Falésia Beach Hotels in Albufeira

3HB Falésia Beach

"This place is genuinely nice - everything is new - everything is clean and everything works as it should. I have stayed at 3HB hotels before and the concept is fabulous. We were fortunate to go after the summer school holiday rush so the place was peaceful and efficient. The rooms are extremely comfortable absolutely clean and the staff are very kind and helpful. Breakfast is delicious and everything is fresh and it doesn't end until 11am which is great for a slow start to the day. The private premium areas are a great addition where 'certain guests' can enjoy peace and a heated pool, plus an amazing spa, gym and free drinking water all day long. Drinks prices are reasonable for the standard of the hotel and location. Room maintenance and cleaning is 5 star. None of those pesky messages asking you to re-use your towels to save whatever. I am paying premium and I want premium - not to be told to save the hotel money on washing. Every day you get fresh towels, fresh beds and a choice of 4 different pillows from super soft to very firm. My only criticisms are as follows and they are all very minor: 1. Smoking is only allowed in select areas and there are never any ashtrays available and those areas do not have umbrellas to shade you from the heat. You can however smoke on your balcony in peace. 2. Apart from the breakfast which is amazing, I found the daytime food selection rather bland. It was good, but nothing outstanding. They have a buffet if you want to eat a truckload of food but I always find that I cannot appreciate a dish when served in buffet style as you lose the flavours to all the other options available. However; to be fair to them the buffet was good and priced at 33 Euros per person which is a typical hotel price. 3. The walk to the beach is a bit of a schlep, especially if you struggle with stairs and climbing a hill but once you get down to the beach it's very pleasant and two fish restaurants to choose from - both good. In conclusion I will definitely be returning to 3HB next visit to Portugal. Their Faro hotel is also wonderful but I will put that in a separate review."

Masana Algarve, Destination by Hyatt Hotels in Albufeira

Masana Algarve, Destination by Hyatt

"This hotel is perfect for a relaxing getaway with ocean views. The pool is great. We booked a two-story villa with two bedrooms, which was simply excellent. It had a kitchen, so we could cook our own meals. The hotel restaurant is fantastic, but not cheap. We ate there once, and everything was delicious. It's just a few minutes to the private beach, but access depends on the tide. It's better to walk to the public beach, which is about 10 minutes away."

Falésia Hotel - Adults Only Hotels in Albufeira

Falésia Hotel - Adults Only

"The hotel has been recently renovated and is generally very elegant, with lovely lounge areas, terraces, etc. However, it lacks a gym and perhaps more entertainment. The breakfast and dinner buffet is adequate, but not overly high-quality. The cuisine is varied but safe. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, and with a few minor improvements, we'd be talking about a 5-star rating."

"Beautiful hotel with the best staff Very clean comfortable hotel, we stayed in room 203 with breakfast included Breakfast was great, fresh and hot with wonderful variety Our room was modern and very clean, the maids came every day and worked v hard, pool area lovely and relaxing, plenty of sunbeds, 2 seating areas outside and more seating in the bar with pool table. Location is close to old and new town, local shops, pharmacy & supermarket. This is our second stay here and we will booking again for next year. I can’t thank the staff enough for how helpful and friendly they are, reception, breakfast and general staff provide great service and do their very best to ensure you have a pleasant stay. I highly recommend the Navigator Aquasol, they have excellent management here, the hotel runs like clockwork and all staff seem happy in their jobs. I’ve been coming to Portugal for over 20 years and this is my favourite hotel. So sad to be home now 🥲 see you all next year ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

Hotel Baia Grande Hotels in Albufeira

Hotel Baia Grande

"Had an amazing stay here. Location is perfect if u prefer the quieter life. Spent many hours relaxing around the pool. A short walk away is some of the most amazing beaches I’ve ever seen, definitely worth the walk. The atmosphere of the hotel is very relaxed. The cleaning staff are very respectful & work so hard. We had an issue with no milk in the room for tea & coffee but spoke to reception & they sorted it for us straight away. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Breakfast has so many options. There’s something for everyone. All staff are so friendly & welcoming. The pool area is never overcrowded so it’s easy to keep an eye on your children in the pool. The hotel has a free shuttle bus to take you out or you have the option to hire a car. We chose to hire a car which the hotel helped arrange for us. Overall I had an amazing experience here."

"The hotel has many wonderful facilities such as 2 swimming pools and kiddie pool with many sun beds. A pedestrian walkway leading directly to the beautiful beach. Room are very spacious and I believe they are large than those of same level. The breakfast also much beyond than normal provides variety of food , especially freshly squeezed orange juice. The only drawback is that the shower gel and conditioner are of poor quality"

Hotel Balaia Mar ★★★
"I am currently staying at the Balaia Mar while our 2 bed apt (booked through air b &b) is perfect, well equipped, clean and very spacious I will not be returning due to atmosphere and rules at the pool area. We can not bring as much as a bottle of water to the pool without being pounced on by staff saying pool is extension of restaurant and only food/drink purchased there allowed. The bar is totally overpriced large water is €3, large beer is €5 which probably explains why the bar is empty every evening. The staff are friendly and smiling but will approach you every half an hour or so while laying on sunbeds offering cocktails/drinks, it is very annoying and does not lend to a relaxed day by the pool. Very disappointing."

Hotel Sol e Mar Albufeira - Adults Only ★★★★
"We are glad that we booked this hotel. The beach view was breathtaking and remarkable. Not to mention its excellent location where the old town cobbled street is just right in front of the hotel. We particularly enjoyed the breakfast where they offered great selections and indeed one of the best breakfasts we've tried in our Portugal trip. Hotel staff were mostly friendly, especially those in the restaurant, except for the housekeeping staff who refused to give us extra drinking water on the next morning even before we checked out."

PortoBay Falesia ★★★★
"The hotel's biggest advantage is its location on the best beach, Falesia. The views are picturesque. The hotel itself is small, but the grounds are well-planned, with several spots to enjoy the scenery. It's very beautiful and cozy. I booked a standard room, and they gave me a very old room on the second floor with a view of the parking lot. The room had a strong musty smell, old carpeting, and there were constant renovation noises from the parking area. I have allergies, so staying in such a room was very uncomfortable. Therefore, I had to pay an extra 70 euros for one night to switch to a sea-view room. They gave me a room on the fourth floor, in a different wing. This room was a bit smaller, and there wasn't a strong musty smell, especially with the balcony open, but the sea view definitely made up for everything! The breakfasts are excellent, service is good, and there's yoga and stretching offered throughout the day. There's both an outdoor and an indoor pool. In May, it's still a bit cold, so you can't really swim much. The staff are pleasant and try their best to help with everything."
