Loved the breakfast buffet, lots of choice. The location was amazing so close to the beach. The cliff views were fabulous and the restaurant on the beach was very handy. The pools were lovely if a bit chilly, but it was April. The staff were friendly especially Diogo in the Chill Out Bar. Uber was very handy and cheap as well to get into The Old Town. The Marina was in walking distance.

Nice hotel in a great location. Pool area is good (pool bar was closed but expected this as not high season) lots of beds and nice vibe at the pool. One block is right on the beach with an (almost) private beach for hotel occupants. Overall, nice hotel, staff friendly and helpful and great location.

One of the best Algarve resorts, Albufeira has wonderful beaches, turquoise waters and the dramatic, rocky coastline that makes this part of Portugal so special.
Naturally, life here is all about sun, sand and sea. The most popular Albufeira beach is Fisherman’s Beach and you can still see locals bringing in the fishing boats every morning - if you’re up early enough, that is. Tunnel Beach is accessed through an opening in the cliff, and both offer a variety of watersports.
Further up the coast is Albufeira Marina, from where sightseeing boat trips depart, while east of the town is the 9-hole Balaia golf course. On the way here, you pass Arias de Sao João, home to The Strip where the best bars and clubs are found, many staying open until the early hours.
The Old Town of Albufeira is more peaceful, and its cobbled streets house Moorish buildings and some great restaurants serving fresh fish. If you fancy a day trip from Albufeira, the 12th-century remains of Moorish Almoáda Castle in Paderne can be visited for free.
The town is around 45 minutes’ drive from Faro Airport and there is a fantastic range of beach resorts, small B&Bs and Albufeira apartments on Booking.com.

Albufeira is a great place to visit as its spread out and has a few different areas to go and see: The old town, strip, marina etc all with bars, restaurants and something going on. On this visit the old town was quite lively with lots of stag and hen doo's which was good to watch! Still a friendly atmosphere down there albeit a bit lively!

Definitely worth a visit.
Definitely worth a visit. The old town especially is very beautiful, but be prepared for lots of hills! Plenty of places to eat and drink, great atmosphere, lots to see and do. Make sure you take a boat trip to the caves, well worth it.

Beautiful beaches. Lovely people.
Beautiful beaches. Lovely people. If you haven't hired a car then use a uber. They can take you to all the little town scattersd around. They are cheaper than taxis and buses. Restaurants in the old town are amazing. Lovely food and not expensive. The strip in the new town is also brilliant for food but excellent for evening entertainment.Boat rides are a must to see the beautiful coast lines.

Albufeira is really a small City size rather than a town.
Albufeira is really a small City size rather than a town. It is a very busy and bustling place, but it has many different areas to suit all tastes and ages, locals are super friendly and passionate about their country.

Good place for various types of eating from very expensive to cheap and cheerful. Good walking shoes needed as there are lots of steps, slopes and much going up and down when moving about during a visit to the "Old Town" areas. Not good for wheelchair users and those with mobility issues.

The hotel rooms are in desperate need of renovation.
The hotel rooms are in desperate need of renovation. I didn’t even have a working electrical plug in the bathroom, there’s no full length mirror in the room and the hallway was not vacuumed on a regular basis. They rely heavily on the beach and pool areas otherwise I can’t imagine anyone wanting to stay here.
Fantastic stay, this Hotel re-defines 5-star in the Algarve and is up there with Hotels you would find in Dubai. Décor is stylish, fresh and super cool. Vibe is of the scale and all staff are super friendly. Food variety is excellent, of high quality and well priced. I liked the location as it is privately tucked away but still close enough to old town and the main beaches. If you want a high end place to chill relax that offers great value, the Hotel is a must.
The location was fantastic! The house was clean, the beds were comfortable, it was nicely decorated, and kitchen was well supplied. The beach was less than a 10 minute walk through the tunnel. The restaurant across the street, three crowns, was delightful and we had a great meal there. The old town shopping area was a 5 minute walk away. The terrace on the third floor was delightful and we enjoyed our wine and appetizers in the late afternoon.
Ideal location, on the beachfront and only a 5 minute walk into the heart of old town Albufeira. Extremely welcoming hosts that remained fully available via WhatsApp day and night. Gorgeous apartment with very comfortable rooms and bedding. The rooftop terrace was a beautiful perk! Supplying a cot was also no problem it was brought to use within minutes of our arrival. Thank you for accommodating us ❤️
Just back from lovely stay in Emeralds. Right beside Albufeira Terrace shopping centre so handy for picking up bits for hols at cheaper rates than home. Poolside bar very good for food & drinks;and rooms were modern & very comfortable. Only 14/15 mins walk to elevators for Old Town. Staff very helpful too. Aircon excellent in rooms too - would definitely recommend 👌
Spotless hotel , best self catering we have ever stayed in. Gorgeous pools no problem getting sunbeds. Very laid back. Only 20 min walk to the strip and 5 euro in a local taxi to old town. Big balcony, super pool and sea view. Lovely walk 15 mins to local beach which is fab. Great for kids. We would definitely recommend this place we couldn't really fault it.
Location was good however hard for families with buggy’s as there is 100 steps to climb from old town. Taxi were cheap however so can avail of those. Swimming pool in main hotel was lovely and staff were very friendly. We had dinner in hotel one night and food was good- starters were on the small side ( we go mussels and there were only 4!) mains were lovely.
The location is next to unbeatable. 2 minutes to the beach and under 10 mins to old town Albufeira. Staying during shoulder season for €60 a night was great too. Beds were nothing to complain about either and the terrace was GREAT. wish we had the ocean view but having a street terrace was just fine too. The rooms were cleaned daily so that was nice.
The hotel is in an ideal location. It is at the heart of Albufeira Old Town. We really enjoyed the rooftop bar which lets you overlook the beach and enjoy cocktails in the sun. Our room was small but we weren’t in it much and it was cleaned to perfection every day. All staff were extremely helpful and I would highly recommend staying here.
Ruben is a super host and makes an effort to assist with anything we ask, even a dentist. The apartment is clean, luxurious, well equipped and the best location in the old town. The parties going on around is noisy but not in an unpleasant way. Nothing earplugs cannot solve. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Albufeira.
Great hotel but located in an overcrowded town that has all but completely lost its charm due to overdevelopment. If you like the idea of staying in a theme park, you might like Albuferia. Otherwise seek the more traditional areas of Portugal, such as the Gold Coast or North of Lisbon.
The terrace is fantastic. So spacious with plenty of furniture and a beautiful sea view. Nice and safe for children with a high barrier. The apartment had everything we could need and was in a brilliant location close to the beach and restaurants etc in Albufeira old town.
This hotel is clean quiet. The staff are friendly and helpful. It’s an easy 10 minute walk to the beach and the old town of Albufeira.
There is a big supermarket around the corner, and a 5 min walk to a Hop on Hop off stop.
Walking distance from old town Albufeira, which was our favorite area. Per centrally located so it was not a terribly far drive from anywhere. Very affordable. We did not use the pool, but it was nice.
The facilities were very nice, completely stocked apartment with utensils and dishes and pots. small washing machine and dishwasher. Close to old town and beach. Lovely pools. Good restaurant.
The location is perfect mid way between the Old Town and The Strip....The staff are amazing the best staff in any hotel /apartment I have ever stayed in.
