"I went to Albufera in southern Portugal and found a hotel by chance while searching for a tour of Benazill Caves and dolphins.
There is no Korean review and only foreign reviews.
The hotel was not big but clean and the staff were friendly
The hotel was in the center of the Old Town, so all the amenities were easy to use and the accessibility was also the best location
The street scenery and the sea natural environment from the window are very beautiful, but it's a bit noisy in the center of the old town.
But it's a good place to hear such noise.
Be sure to go"

Great
Convenient location (€25-30 Uber from the Faro airport, €5 Uber to Albufeira town, 5 minute’s walk to the sea) Great amenities - clean room, well-designed communal area with great aesthetics, clean pool and sun beds Good service - English buffet breakfast with Portuguese pastries, complimentary tea and biscuits in the lobby, helpful staff Good value of money during off-peak season (£170 for two nights for a superior room)
From the warm welcome at reception to the spotless, fresh-smelling room with a charming balcony, everything was perfect. The bar food was delicious, and the location couldn’t be better—surrounded by great restaurants. Plus, parking was hassle-free with plenty of spots!
We had the most wonderful stay at Patio Suite Hotel!! The staff were all lovely and were so accommodating! Highly recommend going all inclusive, such good value for money and the food was great (including a few vegetarian options). It was easy to get the shuttle to and from the beach. Although would suggest getting an Uber (they are quite cheap and there are plenty) to other nearby beaches if you fancy something different (and a little less busy)!
How is this only a 3 star hotel? The room is spotless, staff friendly, they even offer a mini bar and wine. Got a garden view and it was lovely. The breakfast is amazing with your usual eggs, sausages, bacon. There’s also pastries, yogurt, fruit, veggies, ham and cheeses. Also a health corner! Bathroom is newly renovated with a nice walk in shower. Would stay again!
Facilities: A comfortable resort hotel with sauna, gym, and swimming pool. Location: Excellent! A short taxi ride to the beach and bus station takes less than ten minutes. Service: Excellent. The front desk staff were very friendly. We booked a dolphin-watching tour through them, which was perfect; we saw the rare Rissler dolphins! They also thoughtfully recommended nearby restaurants. Thank you! Environment: We went at the end of November. It was less crowded and the scenery was beautiful. The sunrise view from the hotel balcony was stunning!
JJorden/- Lovely cosy apartment, that looked even nicer and more modern than on the photos.
- While not super big, the space has been very cleverly used and it felt like having my own mini home.
- Kitchen is well equipped, so you can really use it to cook your own dinner (I just missed a colander to drain rice and vegetables, but I realise it must be impossible to cater for every individual guest's preferences). Enough pots, pans, cutlery, even a corkscrew and dishcloth are provided. No spices, oil or sponge though, so (quite understandably) you need to buy or bring a few things yourself.
- Lovely balcony, sunny most of the day and I could even watch the sea from there.
- Good location, as long as you're fine being near ”The Strip” (and not so near the old town). Very close to the beach. In a central but quiet location (at least in February, but my guess is that it's just far enough from the Strip to be reasonably quiet in busier months as well). About a 10 minute walk from Santa Eulalia bus stop from where you can take a bus to Faro (and other places on that route, such as Vilamoura and Quarteira). It's about a 40 minute walk to the main bus terminal. There's also a city bus, but I never really worked out that system (taxis are everywhere too and apparently not very expensive either).
- Great value for money. I extended my stay by 2 more nights and certainly recommend this place.
While I very much enjoyed my stay here, there are a few small things that could possibly still be improved. Those are really just small details though!
- I'd suggest putting a few extra bin bags in the apartment. Cleaning takes place every 3 or 4 days, which is totally fine. But especially if guests cook in the apartment, the rubbish contains food rests and starts smelling after a few days. It's no problem to change the bag myself, but having a few extra bags in the room would be helpful.
- There's an illuminated ”emergency exit” sign above the apartment's entrance door, on the inside the room. That's really annoying at night, because it's like always keeping one light switched on in your bedroom. Can't those signs be placed outside the room? I ended up covering it with a dark T-shirt every night, which solved the problem too;-)
- There's no socket near the bed.
The hotel is very well located, 15 minutes from the city center and right next to the beach. It is charmingly decorated and has a great view towards the city and the ocean. Some things are a bit old and could be better cared for. Our room could definitely use a renovation but still retains a great atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The only downside was the breakfast organization today, not enough plates and cutlery and most no one to lift up the tables. Food was also scarse but tasty.
