Avantatges: La cama muy bien.

Desavantatges: Almohada horrible

Avantatges: Muy bien

Desavantatges: Muy aislado, además tenía una habitación con vistas al mar y el mar está muy lejos y apenas se vé

Avantatges: The hotel was modern and facilities very good.

Desavantatges: The only thing that we thought not good was the price of alcohol! We are not excessive drinkers but the price of wine and spirits was extortionate

Desavantatges: Given the 5star-rating of the hotel and price bracket, I was expecting an allocated area with facilities at the beach, there were no, so this was dissapointing when everything else was very good

Desavantatges: No tenía reposeras ni bar en la playa

Avantatges: We had a fabulous stay, perfect for a relaxing time with an almost two year old. The buffet was delicious, staff were very friendly and our room and view was wonderful. We would definitely stay here again!

Desavantatges: The temperature of the outside pool water was freeeezing cold but other than that, no complaints!

Avantatges: La comida del bar afuera muy buena.

Desavantatges: Que la pileta climatizada de adentro no estaba bien climatizada

Avantatges: Very gentle staff, super place , super position

Avantatges: The staff was kind and helpful being that we spoke only English and Spanish. We were celebrating our one-year wedding anniversary as well as a birthday. They went above and beyond to make our arrival and stay extra special.

Desavantatges: Everything was great! Only slight dislike was that the "live music" was a lone performer. Would be more interesting with two people or someone with an instrument.

Avantatges: Wonderful place for family holidays. Nice, clean, comfortable room, beautiful beach, pools. The main restaurant great, we had dinners every evening nad did not get bored. Welcoming staff.

Desavantatges: Nothing.

Avantatges: La zona ajardinada del hotel

Desavantatges: Mejoraría la comida del bufet del hotel , no es acorde con lo que se puede esperar de un hotel de esa categoría .

Avantatges: Great location and beach. The personal training staff are excellent. All service staff are polite and friendly and the hotel rooms are very clean.

Avantatges: The helpful and smiling staff. The great evening entertainment. The quality and variety of the food. The service and the suite were great.

Desavantatges: More toiletries in the bathroom normally standard in most good hotels e.g. tissues, body lotion, shoe polish pads, shower cap -all not supplied in our suite only shampoo/body wash and toilet paper.

Avantatges: Great food and very friendly staff.

Avantatges: Very quiet place and well located to the cliffs and beaches. Second time we go there, and we have a lot of our friends that stayed their upon our recommendations. They all loved it. Staff is super friendly. Be aware that it's adults only, so you must like quietness.

Desavantatges: Not a fine cuisine restaurant.

Avantatges: Amazing hotel with wonderful staff. Food was excellent, the entertainment was of a very high standard. Bedroom was spacious and extremely clean. All of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Avantatges: Adult only, calm and relaxing (other than comment below!)

Desavantatges: Tui pool games which were noisy

Avantatges: Huge rooms and beautiful pools, both indoor and out! The food servers by the pool were friendly and welcoming.

Desavantatges: Front desk staff could be more hospitable.

Avantatges: Hired mobility scooter (walking disability). Area outside hotel grounds not suitable, footpaths in poor condition

Desavantatges: area outside hotel grounds.

Avantatges: Everything

Desavantatges: Nothing

Avantatges: El servicio

Desavantatges: Que está pensado más para ingleses

Avantatges: Me gusto todo el hotel , habitación grande muy limpia , moderna , baño grande y limpio. Tanto la cena como el desayuno muy bueno , gran variedad dónde elegir. Personal muy atento

Desavantatges: Lo único que no me gustó que se oía en la habitación el ruido del pasillo

Avantatges: Very clean (spotless) and comfortable. We had a junior suite to celebrate my husband’s birthday which was modern and a couple of steps down to a living area and balcony. Bed very comfortable. Walk-in large shower. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was excellent. Entertainment good. Couldn’t fault it. Also had a massage which was very reasonably priced and good! It’s a Thomson’s Gold Hotel. In the quietist village there are restaurants and bars within walking distance and a supermarket. Lovely walks along the beach.

Avantatges: Hotel genial en su conjunto. Personal estupendo, buenas instalaciones, comodo y comida estupenda. Es la segunda vez que me hospedo y no será la última.

Desavantatges: La hora de entrada a la habitación un poco tarde. 14:00h.

Avantatges: Stunning Place. Everything you want and need in beautiful surroundings.

Avantatges: The Resort is huge Family Friendly and very beautiful,i would advice for families with small kids as there everything done to go with strollers,a lot of pines everywhere so when is sunny you can walk with a sleeping baby under pines and enjoy nature.Very beautiful view to the Atlantic Ocean,and the beach.there is elevator to the beach but still you need to walk around 200meters by walk.

Desavantatges: There wasn’t bidet in the bathroom,but this is common problem in Europe and public bathrooms could be more chic and clean!

Avantatges: Our grand deluxe room was very spacious and large comfortable bed. House keeping 1st class.

Desavantatges: Over priced drinks and meals

Avantatges: Lots of facilities, very friendly staff, lots of pools, sunbeds and a lovely beach on hand. A really relaxing place to unwind with some amazing views.

Desavantatges: The champagne terrace is very popular at sunset and you'll need to get there early on to secure a seat. It emptied quickly after sunset, so you can easily soak in the sunset from the viewing area on the other side of the lift and head over for a drink after as people flood out.

Avantatges: the room, its location and the restaurant on the sea for the view very efficient and friendly bell boys

Desavantatges: some of the staff is very unfriendly, they ruin it for those who are friendly we had a bad experience at the jardin colonial for lunch upon our arrival when we were waiting for our room -the service was very lousy and the food medium, far too pricey for what it was- these people do not go the extra mile in this property

Avantatges: - beautiful nature and nice large territory - amazing views - good beach - nice comfortable rooms - good hotel design - very good bed - modern room facilities (furniture, bath etc.) - free large parking - breakfast has a lot to choose - a lot of restaurants/bars and swimming pools

Desavantatges: We expected better impression from Luxury Collection hotel. It is still Sheraton... - service: lazy, but polite staff, very few of them available (sometimes there is no one at all on reception and in the main hall. Or no one responding on the call for 3-5 mins, or no one on the beach or near swimming pools etc.), 5 EUR per room service (your spoon felt down, need new? Yes - 5 EUR per visit. And they will take it away tomorrow...), also they are very slow and you always need to remind. We had a serious problem during reservation (baby accommodation). Only second manager gave us a real compensation. First one was just talking for 2 days... - restaurants. Especially Jakuza. We felt like we have been robbed. Persuasive service and enormous prices. Disgusting food. Some so called “author cuisine” which is very faraway from tasty Japanese one. 2 days there were several spoiled products on the breakfast. (Orange juice and cheese). Fried eggs are overroasted, tomatoes are immature etc - very cold swimming pools. Same t as ocean has. They have been built 20+ years ago and heating was not implemented. But because of that they are almost empty ;-) - 217 room is near unloading zone where smts loud work could start before 9 am (trucks beeping, heavy unloading machines are working etc) - bad sun umbrellas with a strange construction (very small shadow). You need to pay for the first line of sun beds.

Avantatges: Location

Desavantatges: If You want to relax in quite it is not hotel for You especially in high season. In this hotel were children and some elderly people. This is hotel for families not for couples.

Desavantatges: Not eco friendly at all

Avantatges: El desayuno es bueno , pero a veces hay mucha gente en la entrada y en el buffet , podrían tener dos zonas y una especial para niños , en época de vacaciones . El personal es muy amable y atento , para cualquier cosa que necesitas Tiene unas preciosas vistas , muy buena ubicación

Avantatges: El entorno Natural, las playas, la arquitectura del complejo. Los servicios. La oferta gastronómica de altísimo nivel.

Desavantatges: La lejanía de la playa respecto del hotel propiamente dicho. La densidad de reposteras en el área de playa.

Avantatges: Never felt busy. Beautiful gardens and beach and multiple restaurants and pools to choose from

Desavantatges: It was ll good !

Avantatges: Beautiful location

Desavantatges: Too big stayed in the hotel and had to get a mini bus back and forth for food as too far to walk. The food was poor quality and not much choice for the price. Breakfast was cold

Avantatges: Lo mejor, las instalaciones y la habitación, cama excelente.

Desavantatges: Parte del personal de Recepción se mostró contrario al cambio de habitación. Habíamos reservado con casi 4 meses de anticipo y solicitado una habitación tranquila, hubo que discutir para conseguirla. Gracias a Luis. Quiero hacer resaltar que siempre que se reserva con BOOKING hay problemas para conseguir una habitación buena. Tienen reservadas las habitaciones buenas para otro tipo de reserva. Comprobado.

Avantatges: La piscina, la cama muy cómoda. El bufet muy completo.

Desavantatges: El acceso a la playa es pésimo, no se aprovecha la ubicación del hotel

Avantatges: La jubilación perfecta

Avantatges: La cama y el ambiente d relajación del hotel

Desavantatges: La comida repetitiva

Avantatges: La cama comodisimaa

Desavantatges: Que no había nada en español

Avantatges: Location and staff are excellent.

Desavantatges: Preferred it as Tui Sensimar. The food is not as good as it used to be but it is very acceptable. Having a nut allergy I have to take care with my food choices. Some foods such as the fruity bread sometimes, but not always, contains walnuts and nuts appear unexpectedly in numerous dishes, even in garlic bread! There is no food labelling to assist allergy sufferers and it is extremely important that this is addressed!

Avantatges: El trato recibido por el personal ha sido excepcional, siempre dispuesto a hacer la estancia más agradable.

Desavantatges: Por decir algo, quizá que el almuerzo (termina a las 14h) y la cena (a las 21.30h), finalizarán un poco más tarde. Entiendo que está enfocado al público alemán e inglės.

Avantatges: Desayuno bueno Ubicacion buena

Desavantatges: El trato de un camarero no nos parecio el adecuado

Avantatges: El desayuno y la piscina

Desavantatges: Los colchones no eran muy cómodos. Es caro con relación a otros hoteles de la misma categoría en España.

Avantatges: The staff at the pool area, bar and restaurants are super heroes. So nice, polite and quick!

Desavantatges: The receptionists were not as welcoming and helpful as expected. Had to call 3 times to get an iron board, the water was tuned off for 3, 4 hours without any notice and was told it was going to be working 2 hours earlier than it actually did. The car service can only be paid in cash, would be good to know beforehand since there is no cash machine at the hotel.

Avantatges: The outdoor swimming pool

Desavantatges: The food was not that tasty

Avantatges: The food was top rate.

Desavantatges: Evening entertainment .....music. Very very poor. Pillows uncomfortable. Otherwise nothing to complain about.

Avantatges: Cleanliness of the hotel. Quietness Friendly staff

Avantatges: Breakfast very good. Could use some prosciutto as a meat option! (from Appolonia). Faster service at lunch.

Desavantatges: Beds are a bit too firm. All staff needs to understand and speak English.

Avantatges: This was an excellent hotel, great location the beach a two minute walk, the breakfast was perfect with a great selection of food, the lunch menu had also a great selection, as we were over for a wedding we did not have a chance to sample the dinner menu, we did have a problem with the room but the staff resolve it by moving us to a different room, for a four star hotel it was fantastic value, spotless, and plus the staff were helpful and friendly.

Avantatges: You couldn’t fault the hotel it was nice and quiet and the staff were very friendly and helpful

Desavantatges: I have a disability and the pool steps caused me some problems and the jacuzzi to was difficult

Avantatges: Charming staff who were friendly and extremely helpful, and a wonderful location.

Desavantatges: Room and bathroom a little tired . Beds far too hard! Improved with ‘toppers’ but not really good enough.

Avantatges: Everything & everyone

Desavantatges: Nothing

Avantatges: Es un buen punto base para conocer el Algarve. Muy tranquilo y cerca de la playa.

Desavantatges: El precio no se corresponde con la calidad y servicios del hotel.

Avantatges: Great location with friendly staff. Short walk to the beach

Desavantatges: Breakfast was good but chaotic. Slow to deliver cooked food China tea pots always seemed to be chipped. Room cleaning was slow.

Avantatges: Very friendly and helpful staff.

Avantatges: Excelente hotel

Desavantatges: Faltaba maquina de cafe en el desayuno, por decir algo.

Avantatges: Comfortable bed and pillows

Avantatges: The customer service

Avantatges: Me hospede en el Alfagar prestige, este edificio es el más nuevo del complejo. Puntos positivos: la vista, limpieza, servicios del hotel, supermercado cerca, tranquilidad y ubicación. Excelente opción si viajas con niños pequeños. El personal de limpieza es muy amable.

Avantatges: all very good

Avantatges: Las personas que nos atendieron fantasticas, las instalaciones magnificas todo muy bien cuidado. Fue una estancia en aparthotel, amplisimo, muy limpio, luminoso y con un menaje de cocina estupendo.

Avantatges: Very helpful personnel

Desavantatges: Last night the airco stopped working

Avantatges: Amplias instalaciones y dos hoteles más a 200 metros disponibles. También de la misma cadena. Todo muy limpio y bonito. Jardín es muy bien cuidados. Excelente

Desavantatges: Había humedad dentro del cuarto de trastero. Y salía u fuerte olor a hongos. Cerré la puerta y evité abrirla. El apartamento era tan grande que no implicó más.

Avantatges: Staff very friendly and helpful. Pools were fantastic. Excellent beach just a short walk away. Very clean and manicured.

Desavantatges: Entertainment was a bit poor.

Avantatges: The outdoor heated pool was a nice touch, travelling in October meant we could still use the pool as the other pools were a little chilly. The buffet was well stocked and decent enough quality. We liked the facilities as a whole and very good for kids with the activities and our daughter loved the disco and face painting

Avantatges: Overall very good rating. As highlights: distance to the beach, heated pool, room cleanliness.

Desavantatges: No major comments regarding the hotel. Only thing I dislike was guests throwing cigarettes everywhere and drinking alcohol in pools and leaving empty glass next to it after.

Avantatges: Amazing place. Lots to do in the complex before venturing out. Beach is great as well and close by

Desavantatges: There was a Coin jammed in place where you put your room key card. Bit awkward trying to get electric on. Not the hotels faultbut a previous guest. Room 304

Avantatges: It was brilliant for kids, plenty swimming pools and play areas, the complex had everything you needed, so we didn’t really have to leave. Food was lovely to. Couldn’t really fault anything. Would definitely stay here again.

Desavantatges: It was quiet expensive, and the access to the nearest beach wasn’t great, especially if u have small children and buggies, it’s a bit of a walk and you’ll have to take a lot of steps down to access it. If you do want to do any sight seeing, shopping, visit the old town of Albufeira or go to the water parks you’ll have to take a bus or taxi.

Avantatges: We loved everything! This hotel is amazing staff are very friendly. Facilities are brilliant and food was gorgeous.

Avantatges: lovely place to stay with access to a stunning beach

Desavantatges: there is no where nice to walk outside of the resort although there are some nice local restuarants. Also while this is a very family friendly hotel there were no life guards at the pool which we felt was very important given the number of small children.

Avantatges: Love this hotel, second time we’ve stayed and would definitely be back. They’ve thought of everything to make your stay amazing.

Avantatges: El desayuno es estupendo y muy completo. Las zonas comunes y la habitación también están estupendas. El personal bastante profesional y amable. La bajada directa a la playa es un poco larga pero se llega a una playa muy agradable, poco concurrida y con dos chiringuitos para comer.

Desavantatges: Lo único es que quizá está todo muy pensado para ingleses o alemanes, más que para españoles o portugueses.

Avantatges: Very nice location, nice pool, good food

Desavantatges: Rooms need to be done up and air conditioning needs to be fixed around the hotel

Avantatges: The view is amaizing. Nice room service, great selection.

Desavantatges: The bathrooms were super small. The decoration needs an update.

Avantatges: Hotel antiguo totalmente reformado, todo estaba muy limpio y cuidado, con una ubicación estupenda y con una escalera con la que se puede acceder a la playa. El desayuno muy bueno, teniendo en cuenta que es de 4 estrellas y con zumo natural de naranja. La zona de piscina y jardines sumamente cuidados.

Desavantatges: Piscina interior pequeña. Zona de baño turco y sauna Finlandesa de pago.

Avantatges: Close to beach

Avantatges: Anybody who stays here wont be disappointed. Really liked our stay in this hotel.

Avantatges: Desayuno muy bueno

Avantatges: Instalaciones y bufett

Avantatges: Las vistas,ubicación, paz y naturaleza

Desavantatges: Que el servicio la gran mayoría no hablaban en castellano y costaba algunas veces comunicarnos

Avantatges: They should improve

Desavantatges: Pretty much everything

Avantatges: El apartamento estaba perfecto, limpio, ordenado, con todo lo necesario para hacer la estancia muy cómoda. El hotel ofrece muchas actividades, piscina, jacuzzi, gimnasio, restaurante, bares, hay un mini supermercado donde puedes hacer compras básicas (pan, atún, agua, etc) con precios iguales a los de cualquier otro supermercado. El personal del hotel muy amable. Alquilamos un coche para poder ir hasta las playas, la más cerca a 10 minutos. El hotel está a 10 min del casco histórico-centro que es precioso y con mucha vida nocturna, donde nos comimos la mejor mariscada. En general un 10/10

Desavantatges: La piscina cierra muy temprano, a las 19 horas.

Avantatges: El apartamento muy limpio, equipado con todo, incluso lavavajillas. Zona muy tranquila pero a la vez cerca de la zona comercial y de restaurantes. Una estancia muy agradable.

Desavantatges: Nada. Quizás por decir algo su lejanía a las playas.

Avantatges: Very clean and tidy

Desavantatges: Good facilities available in apartment and room

Avantatges: El personal amable, instalaciones magnificas, habitaciones limpias y desayuno bastante bueno... para repetir...

Avantatges: Great location and plenty of food options for dinner and lunch if you don’t want to leave the hotel. Rooms were spacious and really clean. Close to bars and restaurants but just far enough away you aren’t in the middle of everything. We were a group of friends but great for families and couples as well.

Desavantatges: A friend would have liked to have had a ladder at the deep end of the pool

Avantatges: Lovely clean, spacious apartment. Beautiful pool area. Plenty sun loungers and umbrellas. Helpful Staff.

Desavantatges: Air con in sitting room wasn’t working so room was very hot to sleep in. Bedroom aircon worked well.

Avantatges: This hotel is a little gem. It is absolutely immaculate. This is my second stay and would recommend it to anyone. I always stay board only, so can’t comment on the restaurants, but have had breakfast there and food from the snack bar and both are nice. The staff are so lovely, always friendly and will do anything for you.

Desavantatges: The rooms aren’t sound proofed. You can hear everything from surrounding rooms.

Avantatges: Clean place.

Avantatges: It was a fantastic apartment, we got an unexpected upgrade. Very well equipped and very clean. The shop was very handy. It is in a quiet location, but you do have to walk a short distance to the main part of the strip.

Desavantatges: The only slight downside was the private swimming lessons in the indoor pool on weekday evenings. The outdoor pool was also pretty cold.

Avantatges: Great room , clean and tidy hotel, really relaxing Time here , would highly recommend hotel

Desavantatges: Nothing, it was all excellent

Avantatges: Staff was very quick solving a minor issue with the TV remote control

Desavantatges: Old fashion furniture and equipment. Too expensive

Desavantatges: Second building too far away

Avantatges: Excelente

Avantatges: Clean, tidy and well provisioned

Desavantatges: Not a great deal for the kids to do in the evenings. The lunch menus were similar across some of the restaurants. Beach access is a bit or a burden with young kids.

Avantatges: Food

Desavantatges: No floats in the pool

Avantatges: Location, staff and accommodation

Avantatges: Space , views and oprions for eating

Desavantatges: Pools a bit busy and no life guard to stop older children playing ball games etc

Avantatges: Fabulous rooms, comfortable, spotless facilities & friendly staff.

Desavantatges: Food could’ve been better, whilst not too bad a little expensive for what you ate.

Avantatges: El confort de las habitaciones, los detalles y el menaje de la cocina. La tranquilidad y la rapidez del servicio de habitaciones.

Desavantatges: POOL INDOOR COLD WATER. El agua estaba muy fría y no pudimos bañarnos. Era el sentir general. La gente utilizaba el jacuzzi que estaba muy bien de temperatura.

Avantatges: Very nice hotel and its area... and it’s huge! Great gym very nice breakfast Beautiful beach Nice restaurants Great pools Very clean three-bedroom apartment Little supermarket in the hotel to get simple stuff as milk, bread, wine - very handy We loved the stay!

Desavantatges: - We were driving for 10 minutes around the hotel area to find their reception... the signs were at the beginning „residence“ then they turned into „casas“ so it‘s quite confusing and we asked receptionist about that and she said that we need to complain to management - so,guys, we are complaining sort of :) - Kids club we found very expensive for 70€ a day, with 4 kids it’s too much and also not everyone at the reception knew the rules of the kids club so you had to ask 3 different persons for rules/payments etc... - Not enough stuff in the kitchen to cook etc... 3 bedroom apartment requires cooking for many people so there should be enough stuff for it - Very hard beds

Avantatges: Everything ! The staff were friendly and customer service was second to none. Accommodation perfect, clean and quiet. Food was delicious. Love this place. Thank you for an amazing stay!

Desavantatges: Nothing to report.

Avantatges: Friendly staff

Desavantatges: The beach is far

Avantatges: Great location and territory Amazing fresh air!

Desavantatges: Need a little improvement on cleanness of apartment

Avantatges: Pretty grounds, luxurious room, good weather

Desavantatges: Rude inattentive staff, cold swim pools, average to poor food quality, very expensive

Avantatges: Personal y, en general, excelente experiencia.

Avantatges: Room was nice and was quiet at the back of the hotel with a view to the sea. The room was very nice and clean and met our expectations. The hotel has been recently redone and has been done to a fantastic standard - the main atrium is fantastic and we had drinks on the ground floor enjoying the atrium space.

Desavantatges: The pool area was over crowded, too many people and we had to come back later in the day to use the pool. Also many people smoking by the pool meant that our enjoyment was cut short and we headed elsewhere to avoid the smokers. The area itself is very British Tourist and we did not enjoy that as was not really an escape from the UK when you find fish and chip shops and "Little Britain!" cafe!

Avantatges: La habitación estuvo muy bien, aunque bastante apretadito el espacio para dos personas, su equipaje, etc. La cama muy grande y cómoda. La vista del hotel hacia la pileta y el mar.

Desavantatges: Las almohadas muy altas, el aire acondicionado que era difícil del graduar para que esté a una buena temperatura.

Avantatges: Spotlessly clean.

Desavantatges: Seating at pool. Very poor. Not everyone likes sun loungers.

Avantatges: I’ve stayed here before great location and great facilities perfect for couples I was here for my 40th birthday and the hotel left a cake in my room which I was delighted with

Desavantatges: I didn’t like anything about this property

Avantatges: Everything else was fab.

Desavantatges: They made our beds but never changed the sheets for the week. Thought it odd

Avantatges: No smoking on balcony which is not fair

Desavantatges: Not enough smoking areas

Avantatges: The hotel left a gift of a bottle of champagne, strawberries and chocolate for an anniversary gift. We were so impressed with them. They also gave us a room with a sea view. Really couldn't fault the hotel, staff or facilities.

Avantatges: The whole experience

Desavantatges: All good

Avantatges: Everything.

Desavantatges: Nothing

Avantatges: Excellent nothing

Avantatges: Breakfast was great apart from I have a mushroom allergy and on the second morning at breakfast there were pieces of mushroom on the serving spoons which ment that the food had been contaminated so I was very limited as to what I could eat which was a shame as it all looked really nice.

Desavantatges: please see above

Avantatges: El hotel es muy bueno, la comida maravillosa.

Desavantatges: Se podría mejorar la luz del baño, algo escasa y el café del desayuno.

Avantatges: The cliffs are beautiful

Desavantatges: Way to many people Beach over crowded and not enough beach chairs or Umbrellas.

Avantatges: Las instalaciones son excelentes, el complejo es maravilloso y todo el personal muy encantador. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

Avantatges: + great facilities + friendly staff + beautiful beach

Desavantatges: - The 'in-site' restaurants are expensive for Portugal. Much much cheaper outside the facility

Avantatges: The overall ambience of residence

Desavantatges: Nothing

Avantatges: Absolutely stunning hotel with an amazing location overlooking the sea. Bigger resort than expected. We stayed for 3 nights. Could easily stay a few more nights at this amazing resort. Wonderful pool areas and good restaurants. The views from the cocktail bar is absolutely incredible. We will come back for sure.

Desavantatges: Maybe not the easiest to get down to the beach if you have a stroller. Lots of steps and the beach is not so “kids friendly” with lots of stones and the ocean gets deep very fast.

Desavantatges: Lots and lots of very young families with strollers and babies.

Avantatges: The location!

Desavantatges: The service standard is worse and worse every year, especially the restaurants

Avantatges: Location and amenities

Desavantatges: Quite pricey

Avantatges: Breakfast was fantastic

Desavantatges: Got charged for movies we didn’t watch.

Avantatges: My stay at Pine Cliffs was absolutely perfect. We stayed in a ocean suite with two bedrooms overlooking a small square. The rooms were spotless, beautiful and quiet. Cleaning ladies did an amazing job; they really went the extra mile. More about the property. The garden is super relaxing. I loved to relax underneath the trees in the garden, while overlooking the sea and hearing the crickets in the background. This may be one of the most beautiful and relaxing places I have ever been in the world. Although the hotel can host many people, it still feels personal as there are many people working at all facilities at the hotel. Also, I love to exercise which I was able to do in many different ways at the property. I joined a yoga class which was amazing outside in the garden, went swimming in the indoors pool, went for a run on the beach, and exercised in the gym. It is all possible at Pine Cliffs! It was a very relaxing stay and we will definitely come back!

Desavantatges: It is a 5 star resort, which makes is logical that restaurant prices are in that genre. However, then I also expect high quality which the hotel unfortunately is not able to deliver in all outlets. We went for dinner in the Pescador and in a more cafe style restaurant (I forgot the name). And prices are more than double the prices of restaurants outside the hotel, but the quality of food is not that much better, unfortunately. For example, in the Pescador I order a raw tuna steak and got it very well done. We also ordered a Sole (45€) and it was extremely salty and not very tasty. We mentioned it to the waiters but nothing really happened (expect the tuna they wanted to redo but I do not like to waste food). On a more positive note: the champagne bar had the best views at sunset and drinks: a must visit!!

Avantatges: location , amenities, restaurants, beach and SPA

Desavantatges: maybe it is stupid thing but it is annoying that the card to access the room, deactivated so many times and I had to go to reception to re activated

Avantatges: Todo, pero nuestra estancia fue en Diciembre el hotel estaba al 25%.

Avantatges: The location was perfect, loved that we could just walk into the beach from the hotel. The hotel was modern and clean, staff were helpful and friendly. We could easily walk to the main centre, far away enough to be away from the busy crowds but close enough to enjoy and leave behind.

Desavantatges: Nothing

Avantatges: Very good location with access to the (not so crowded) beach. Nice room and hotel facilities. Good breakfast.

Desavantatges: Window and balcony was situated right in front of the breakfast room (floor -1), with some tables located just around 2 meters from the balcony (with transparent glass) - so it was rather impossible to open the curtain and go out and get some fresh air in the morning without having breakfasting people' eyes staring at us.

Avantatges: Great location near the beach. Beautiful bar and restaurant and terrace. Food generally good - had one excellent meal, one not so good. Fantastic breakfast and great staff.

Desavantatges: Only thing I’d fault is not having tea and coffee making facilities. Couldn’t get room service until 10.30 and not allowed to take coffee from breakfast up to your room so couldn’t have my wake up coffee.

Avantatges: Friendly and welcoming staff. Fabulous location to the beach.

Avantatges: La ubicación excelente. Lindisima la vista Justo sobre la playa. Muy bueno el acceso a la playa y practico el estacionamiento. Te dejan agua y frutas en la habitación. Muy buen hotel sin dudas lo elegiríamos de vuelta.

Desavantatges: La habitación es bastante simple en relación al resto de las instalaciones. Pero es muy lindo limpio y cómodo, no hay nada que no nos haya gustado.

Avantatges: We've booked this hotel with 6 guys, each two rooms. The employees where very friendly, we could even check in a bit earlier. As soon we've checked in we went for lunch at the hotel (not that bad, but the breakfest was much better!). You have a nice inside pool and its literally 1min to the beach. You can follow a path from the beach to the hotel and there you have a shower.

Desavantatges: A little bit far from the strip (clubs, bars). But this hotel is not ment for young people who wants to party all night. (we've been there one night so it was perfect to us)

Avantatges: Lovely Hotel in great location for beach and Old Town Albufeira

Avantatges: todo de 10

Desavantatges: Me ha gustado todo. Las instalaciones la limpieza el personal y las habitaciones. Todo muy limpio y agradable.

Avantatges: The hotel is lovely clean great facilities situated in a fabulous location on a beautiful beach, near the old town which is beautiful itself, plenty of restaurants, bars shops etc, staff are super friendly at this hotel & very helpful, highly recommend sea view rooms,views are gorgeous, food at this hotel is plentiful lots of choices for all, indoor swimming pool, lovely terrace for sunbeds overlooking the beach with outside shower, cant fault this hotel the only con is I couldn't stay longer, I definitely will be going back I highly highly recommend hotel Alisios

Desavantatges: There was nothing this was perfect

Avantatges: It’s location was perfect. Furthermore you had the beach experience without the sand, which is ideal. Also, the swimming pool strong jets are perfect for back massages

Desavantatges: There was no gym, quite disappointing

Avantatges: ALL

Desavantatges: NOTHING

Avantatges: Cleanliness and location

Desavantatges: A bit too expensive

Avantatges: The pools and beache

Desavantatges: It was a long walk from our apartment to get anywhere which was not clear when we booked it. The pool and beach area could have been kept better during the day. There was lots of rubbish which did not appear to be clearerd away.

Avantatges: Stunning beach, great resort with awesome facilities

Desavantatges: Temperature of the pool water was chilly. Mattresses in our townhouse very soft

Avantatges: El Resort en sí es una maravilla, Paulo, Paula, Jessica y Ofidio encantadores, fueron los que mejor nos atendieron. El adosado muy bien, muy limpio, camas muy cómodas y habitaciones muy espaciosas. La tranquilidad que se respira. El personal de las tiendas muy simpático. Paisaje precioso. Está cerca en coche de Albufeira pueblo.

Desavantatges: En el check in no fueron muy espléndidos en explicarnos todo del Resort, de hecho fueron bastante escuetos, en muy grande y deberían explicar todo mejor. De hecho debe haber unas 7 piscinas y solo encontramos 4, si vas muchos días puedes investigar, pero yendo pocos te centras en descansar. No comimos ni cenamos ningún día en el Resort, es un 5 estrellas, barato no es, aunque entiendo que los restaurantes tienen que estar en consonancia con el nivel del Resort. Las actividades deportivas son al aire libre, de hecho nos llovió y tuvimos que dejar la clase, desconozco si tienen salas cubiertas para las actividades.

Avantatges: Amazing resort it was our first visit but we will be back again very soon as the children loved the facilities as did we

Avantatges: Es el 4 año consecutivo que voy. La ubicación, las vistas, la amabilidad del personal del hotel y la playa.

Desavantatges: Las villages empiezan a estar descuidadas, los colchones viejos , la limpieza de la casa un día bien y otro mal... por el precio debería ser de una calidad superior

Avantatges: We had stayed here previously but it was our first time booking a 2 bedroom Deluxe Townhouse which was excellent in terms of space and facilities. Would fully recommend for a party of 4. Lovely terrace and access to gardens. Facilities and Location excellent. Health and Fitness options excellent - really recommend Pilates classes Team were extremely helpful and friendly. Really enjoyed our 14 night stay.

Desavantatges: Food in Beach Restaurant was disappointing and overpriced. Housekeeping did not replace toiletries despite us requesting on numerous occasions.

Avantatges: The location, the gardens and the view

Desavantatges: Our townhouse was not comfortable enough to accomodate 5 people

Avantatges: Golf and Yoga Facilities. Restaurants, cooking school, pools.

Desavantatges: Villa was dated, kitchen and bathrooms both slightly shabby. In need of an update. Restaurant prices were excessive, compared to high end venues outside the resort, and particularly so compared to Lisbon and Porto.

Avantatges: it was perfect for the kids, the swimming pool, and the beach was excellent, and I loved it

Avantatges: We loved everything, from the close location to Albufeira and Vilamoura, beautiful beach, stunning resort, and clean pools to amazing suite, helpful staff and cats sanctuary. We’ll be definitely coming back

Desavantatges: The only thing that could be changed is access to the playground without having to pay for it/book the child for a kids club. We have a 12 year old and she wanted to just go and play around for a while but we couldn’t get in...

Avantatges: The gardens, location on top of the cliffs. Variety of restaurants. Gym and spa is excellent.

Desavantatges: 9 hole golf course is nice, but overrated. It can be very busy in the morning.

Avantatges: It’s family friendly,the staff super nice, I’ll definitely go back

Desavantatges: I liked it all

Avantatges: Habitaciones tranquila todo superbien

Avantatges: Extremely comfortable beds and large rooms. Most staff really friendly. Food is delicious. Choice of pools. Short walk to the shops. Access to the beach. Secure resort, felt very safe.

Desavantatges: Could do with a refurb to give it the 5 star feel. Sunbed loungers could be more comfortable. Restaurant opening hours could improve.

Avantatges: Comfy beds cleanliness fantastic robes & slippers in room food fantastic

Desavantatges: Music by night very sedate - was expecting a room with either sea view or resort view but view was of the car park which was very disappointing!

Avantatges: Good breakfasts, convenient location, nice beach, views.

Desavantatges: Reception service was rather unhelpful and unpleasant. They didn't fulfill any of my request, they didn't answer any question. Mold in the bathroom and bedroom. It definitely needs renovation, and it got five stars probably half a century ago. On the beach they collect a fee for sunbeds, but there is nothing like showers or toilets there.

Avantatges: El acceso propio a la playa, el parking propio, las zonas comunes muy bien cuidadas. La posibilidad de spa.

Desavantatges: El colchón del sofá cama un poco malo. Faltaron albornoz, taza, zapatillas... para el tercer adulto de la habitación. Se avisó a recepción y no hicieron nada al respecto.

Avantatges: Good location, in front of the beach.

Desavantatges: Staff not qualified, old furniture, not refurbished. Unacceptable deposit of €200 that was just refunded more than one week after the check-out. More important, when doing check-in I haven’t been informed of this deposit. Currently the hotel hosts massive groups of young people for events. When I arrived at the hotel around midnight there was people completely drunk in all areas of the hotel and shouting in the lobby and in the pool area, playing drums loudly even after midnight. Staff did nothing to calm down people. This hotel was very good 10 years ago but not anymore.

Avantatges: Esmorzar esplèndid. Mai no trobaves cap safata buida al bufet, reposaven les safates constantment en tots els bufets (esmorzar i sopar). Tot perfecte.

Avantatges: food ok

Desavantatges: asked for a high floor,we were on -1. room seemed a bit tired. tea making facilities but no milk,when i enquired i was told "but the portuguese do not have milk in their tea or coffee,i think they must have it made with cold water,as the only plug was under dressing table,where you had to go on hands and knees to plug it in (5 star i dont think so).during our stay the tea and coffee was not replaced(we managed to buy milk at the bar).There was supposed to be a free bus into the town(to far to walk on busy road),but due to so called technical problems was not running (is this typical 5 star)

Avantatges: good

Desavantatges: bathroom ligths not good

Avantatges: Breakfast was varied with plenty of choice Staff were very attentive Beach was attached

Desavantatges: Free beds on the beach if you were staying at the hotel instead of being charged

Avantatges: Location & staff

Desavantatges: Drinks & food are expensive! Lunch in hotel buffet was €30 each! For ‘all inclusive style food’ bit of a joke.

Avantatges: Good location, close to the beach but also near to night life and good restaurants. Plenty of car parking places, some of them covered. Direct Access to the beach The green space inside resort

Desavantatges: For a total cost of +/-500€ per night, as per Hotel site, the offered accommodations are not up to the minimum requirements regarding quality/cleanness/services. The space/location is really beautiful but the offered services, the quality/variety of food, the outdated villas/apartments and the cleanness of space are acceptable for a 3-4 star hotel. Not a 5* like this one is presented. Pool: (1) Draining around the pool (Overflow) completely filth. I believe they were never washed (2) Deck has loose wood boards which can be extremely danger (3) Small tables completely dirt. Not cleaned even at the end of the day (4) area around pools are never organized (5) The Pool bar closes when the pools are still open. The clients on the tables are not informed about the imminent close and not asked if they want to order something before is too late (6) Only bad quality towels are provide (Some of them in really bad conditions). The pickup location is close to reception instead of pools/beach. (7) one pool without any type of staff support. Rooms: (1) Moisture/Humidity issues in several walls (2) Entrance door with holes which allow to look inside (3) Air extractors placed on WC's are extremely noisy. No easy way to turn them off (4) One WC is equipped with an extremely small shower (+/-70x55cm) making impossible not to permanently touch the curtain (bad design because there is enough space) (5) Hot tub not working (6) Poor set of amenities. Reception: (1) They offer an upgrade, one room apt to two room apt. This was perceived as a nice gesture when in reality was just a way they found to solve a problem they created: There was no T1 prepared because they were not expecting us (Bad communication, I guess) (2) The hotel was not crowded even so, the offered "upgrade" put my family on an apartment at resort entrance (far away from beach/reception) and with all rooms facing a busy public street.
