Hotel Colina do Mar

"Staff is very nice. Free parking available on the same street and good walking distance to restaurants, nearby shops and the beach. Wifi, shower, fridge, air conditioning and outlets work well. The rooftop pool is a really great amenity with chairs and umbrellas. Rooms are a bit dated and run down like most budget-friendly European beach town spots, but it doesn’t affect the overall stay. Pool and beach towels are not provided, and the room safe costs $1.50 per day."

Cerro Mar Atlantico & Cerro Mar Garden

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel, excellent location"

Frentomar

8/10 Good

"Arrivée un peu désagréable, car je n’avais pas vu dans les instructions, mais si vous arrivez après 15h00 (le check in est à partir de 14h00) c’est considéré une arrivée tardive et vous devez contacter le personnel 24h à l’avance pour les aviser. J’ai vu le message 2h avant notre arrivée à l’hôtel alors j’ai avisé le responsable par la messagerie Expedia et ensuite à notre arrivée j’ai essayé de le contacter par whatsapp sans réponse. J’ai contacté l’assistance Expedia qui l’ont appelé à 3 reprises sans succès. On a dû escalader à un superviseur avant d’avoir une réponse de la part de l’hébergement. Au final on a attendu environ 45 minutes sur le trottoir avec nos bagages. L’hôtel était très propre et bien situé dans un quartier calme. La chambre était parfaite pour nos besoins, mais cette situation nous a laissés un peu amers sur le coup."

Hotel Baltum

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel location is fantastic. Out the main doors and straight on the Main Street.hotel is clean inside. Staff were helpful etc on arrival/departure. Being on the main strip the music is very very loud until 3-4am it can be heared even when the doors are closed.they have a restaurant under the hotel called RICCO. Food was fab with a discount if you stayed at hotel. Breakfast was €12 euro each which we didn’t have. Download uber to get about we had a taxi at 3am and it cost €25 euro one way. A taxi from old to new cost €3.50. Really a fab hotel only let down by the loud music until 3am. But if you are out drinking to early hours it won’t bother you.photo below of the Main Street from the balcony of the hotel"

Vila São Vicente - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"We checked in earlier, the front desk was very helpful. The hotel is very clean walking distance from where the action is, away from the crowds and noise, just perfect the views from the pool area are amazing, the pool might be nice in the middle of the summer, a little chill for a Floridian in May. The breakfast was great with a nice variety of food and drinks, very fresh, you can choose to have it inside or outside, the staff constantly brings new stuff out. The room was big enough for my wife and I, great air conditioning. If I ever comeback to Albufeira, this place would definitely be on top of my preferences. Just have to thank the hotel staff. Give a 5 star rating"

São Rafael Holidays

10/10 Excellent

"So I asked the staff for a few favors and they very politely helped me. It made my trip so much better and I couldn’t have done it without them. The breakfast was the best that I’ve ever had at a hotel. I gave them a five star all around and I hope they see this review because they deserve it."

NAU Sao Rafael Suites – All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"This is a very good hotel, well situated, comfortable generous rooms, relaxed hotel, lovely pool area and grounds, good options at the buffet, but missing a few nice to have eggs options (poached eggs, omelette). The drinks are of decent quality, and the evening and dsy entertainment was top notch. The restaurant experience was notably lacking personal service and lacked hospitality which seems to have changed since our last visit. Everyone else was courteous and professional and helpful with information or requests. The hotel has changed ownership and lost some local flavour and personality but it is a very comfortable stay while visiting the area. "
