Hotels with Swim-up Rooms in Olhos de Agua

Brilliant villa - extremely spacious - the bedrooms where all very large with lovely comfortable beds . Loads of storage for clothes with plenty of hangers . All the bathrooms provided lovely hot showers for 8 ladies - lots of clean towels . The kitchen was well stocked with equipment to make food . The seating area inside was large enough for all . However we are outdoors on all occasions . The pool area was excellent providing sun loungers ( some need are a bit rickety ) but other seating great anc enough to relax in the shade or sun ,. The area is extremely peaceful but in walking distance to sone excellent local restaurants that serve great food . The beach is also walking distance and was small and not to busy in places .

The property was a great size for our family. Great for the young and old. Nice and quiet and out the way of the traffic noise but easy accessible to shops, bars restaurants. Never used the pool as it was freezing but that was due to the time of year. Would deffo go back again. The owner was so helpful with everything. Thank you for a lovely stay.

The villa is really spacious, and has all the facilities needed for a great break. Ten of us stayed at the villa and we had more than enough room. The location is really quiet with lots of nice restaurants nearby. The host Clara couldn't have been more helpful. l would stay here again and I would highly recommend this property.

Beautiful villa. So comfortable and well appointed

The villa is lovely, very spacious, cool temperature when needed, pretty gardens and a clean well sized pool. We ate on the under cover terrace every day. We could walk to local shops, restaurants, bars and the beach. Lots to do in the area too.

Very spacious. Very easy key collection. renter stayed in touch via WhatsApp answering any queries. pool was spotless. walking distance to some bars and restaurants and only short cab ride to strip.

Fantastic villa, spacious extremely clean and beautiful pool, could not find fault. Highly recommend. Nelson was quick to respond and very helpful.,

Great property and Nelson was very helpful

The villa was so clean and everything you needed for stay was provided. Host was very clear on how to enter the property and answered any questions very fast. Great place to stay.

The hotel matched the description and pictures, with a nice balcony and convenient pool access. The location was great, close to restaurants and supermarket and the night strip. Staff were very welcoming and happy to help and answer any queries.

We loved how quiet it was and how close it was to Albuferia and the airport. The choice of pools was great and the staff were all so lovely. Cosmin and Luis on reception were brilliant. It was great the showers were available in the indoor pool so we could still use the outdoor pool after checking out. Breakfast was lovely and had a great selection. The pools were really nice and the facilities around the complex were very clean

Friendly staff. Gym and indoor pool. Two outdoor pools and another to the left. Nice breakfast, although coffee wasn't nice. Price for food was reasonable with good portions. Storage bag room and early check in when we arrived earlier than expected was a nice touch. Ten mins taxi from albuferia strip. 10 mins walks to the beach, shops and main area.

Great hotel with good space to have a relaxing holiday. There are 2 areas with outdoor pools and places to eat and drink next to them. There is also an indoor pool where you need to wear a swim cap but it is a great place to have a swim. The rooms have enough facilities to eat breakfast and do simple meals. Only a microwave and 2 hobs. The location is great with a bus stop outside. The staff are all friendly and do a good job. There is also a book library were you can swap books whilst there

Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The pools looked nice and clean but the weather wasn't right for going in. Location is only 5 mins or so walk from the beach. The snack bar and the restaurants beside the hotel are excellent. Parking is good. Not easy to see in advance but the road is not a through road so the spaces outside the hotel seem very safe.

Loved the location, everybody in the local shops and cafes and bars were so helpful kind and friendly. The taxi lady was amazing too. The pools are gorgeous and the gardens so well looked after. The apartment was well appointed and had everything we need. Communication from the owner before and during was amazing and the helpful apartment guide made sure we knew what to do with everything. The balcony was amazing. We stayed in 60f and this meant it was north facing so stayed cool. Didn't even need the air conditioning despite being 32 outside each day. Such a great design building, and the surroundings feel very luxurious.

We found this place whilst walking last year. We booked a T2 apartment that has 2 bedrooms,2 bathroom and air conditioning. Got a great deal by renting it for a month in October The apartment is clean and has maid service about 2 a week We’re located on the second floor overlooking the 2swimming pools The staff are very good and location for the beach and shops. Would I stay here again too right it’s a great base for a holiday

This is my third time staying here with my family and honestly I think it's wonderful. We stayed in 2009, 2015 and 2016 and all vacations have been lovely. Two minute walk from the beach and two minute walk to restaurants in the square and the local supermarket. Pools are lovely Also

Perfect location, spacious apartments, very nice surroudings, shops and restaurants nearby, beach nearby

Jardin da Falesia is perfect for families. Fortunately we got the best apartment (2 bedrooms) at Jardin da Falesia. Ground floor in an annex with huge terrace. The best equipped apartment we ever had. Only a few step to the local centre. From Jardin da Falesia to the beach it is 500 metres via paths and steps. Praia da Falesia beach offers one of the longest stretches of golden sand beach in Portugal and is overlooked by pine trees decorating the cliff tops. Over 8 km long, protected by a natural wall of red cliffs 30 m. high. This is the place to go for relaxing strolls. The sheer size of Praia da Falesia beach guarantees plenty of space for everyone. Sun beds and sunshades. Located 8 km from Albufeira and 35 km from the airport. Advise to rent a car if you want day trips in the area. We used taxi when we go to Albufeira and Vilamoura. You can also walk along the beach to the outstanding marina of Vilamoura, 45 minutes walk one way. Falesia is an ideal resort with a laid back atmosphere and a traditional Portuguese lifestyle. This quaint little town has a number of good golf courses as well as a scattering of restaurants, cafes and bars. Suggest Albufeira for a more lively night out. Albufeira has a remarkable number of cafes, bars, pubs and late-night discos.

The room was very clean and spacious. I LOVED the balcony with the view of the pool. We sat out each night with cocktails to relax. The pool was fantastic. We did spend most of our time at the beaches around the Algarve region so didn't use the pool as much as we could have. The choice of restaurants within walking distance was pretty small.

Stayed in a junior suite in July 24 on a half board basis room was excellent and clean. The food was varied and of a good standard and we always found something to our taste We found all the hotel staff, we came into contact with were very courteous, knowledgeable and helpful Hotel communal areas and and pool were well maintained and very clean There was night time entertainment on in the form of local singers who were okay by hotel standards There are a couple of bars / restaurants / supermarkets nearby but other than that not a great deal although you could walk to the nearby fishing village which is approx 30 mins away where there was a bit more choice We had one problem with our bill where something had been added in error, however when I noticed it and brought it to there attention it was quickly resolved Only suggestion would be more parasols around the pool and in the garden area so people can get some shade if they want to get out of the sun Overall enjoyed it and would return

The staff are the best part of the hotel. The reception staff are warm, welcoming, witty and provide excellent customer service, unlike any other hotel. The room is beautiful and massive with a separate seating area, making the room so spacious, with a lot of light. We were pampered with a welcome wine and the next day with some sparkling wine which made our day. You have all the amenities in the room needed. The pool is well located and has lots of spots around the hotel lawns to relax and unwind. They also have a SPA, indoor pool and a whirlpool. Great place to relax and unwind

The staff are wonderful and the pool and indoor pool with lovely. Plenty of sunbeds and breakfast was great. We did not eat in the evening. We are at Out

superb hotel very spacious room inside and outside hotel. Pool area gorgeous and lovely gardens surrounding pool area.

Lovely friendly very helpful staff. Apartments and all areas spotlessly clean and very well kept. Nice snack bar overlooking the pool which served breakfast and lunch. 2 pools and kids pool with plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas. Lifts to access both floors. Apartments are massive, air con throughout, balcony, separate kitchen, hair dryer, shampoo and hand wash to use. Welcome pack of washing up liquid and cloth, tea towels and even bottle of water in room on arrival. Taxi rank right outside. Can hire pool towels if needed. Apartments are in good location 5 min walk to beach which has sunbeds, 2 for 20 euros for the whole day. Plenty of cafes, restaurants, gift shops and minimarkets all around. Not a massive resort, more laid back and quieter than others but still enough to do in evening with a few lively bars open til late.Taxi to Albuferia old town was 8.50 euros and about 8 mins away. 25 mins from Faro Airport, transfers costs about 60 euros for both ways. This resort is definitely more for familys and couples.There was a few bigger groups but not many. Overall very nice place, would definitely recommend these apartments.

Lovely clean facilities, the cleaners do an absolutely fabulous job. The rooms were bigger than they looked in the photos and there was a small pack of dish soap, dish sponge and sponge towel which was helpful. We got given each a hand towel and large bath sheet as well as shampoo/shower gel and hand wash bottles. The airdryer rack on the balcony was very handy and we asked to borrow the iron and ironing board from reception. They were very friendly and helpful too, especially on the first night when we had to check in at night due to our late landing and there was a staff member who contacted us via webcam to check us in. The location is pretty good as we wanted to visit Lagos, Benegil and Faro on our few days of visits as well as the old town in Albufeira. Getting around by Uber and Bolt was around 30-40mins each way for each of the places, it might be a lot easier for people who can drive around themselves. Generally a good starting point as it's halfway between most points of interest we wanted to see. The pool was not busy at all during the times we stayed there, two pools 160cm deep and a third shallow paddling pool. Water was quite cold considering it was 28 degrees generally but it made for a refreshing dip. Pool towel hire is 1 euro I believe but we didn't need use this service.

Lovely quiet pools which were a good size. Two pools of the same size but different depths were kept clean No music playing around the pool which was perfect Beds and pillows were firm and to our liking. Good location to nice local restaurants Helpful and friendly staff Nice selection of pool bar food and drink Good kitchen facilities

Room is excellent. Staff is awesome! Shout out to reception guy, he the best! Everything is good about this place! Check-in at 3, but they have a room where you can change, leave your luggage and go to the beach or chill near the pool while waiting. Very quiet, calm and chill vibe near the pool (no drunk folks/loud parties). Snack bar available for some food/snacks and beer (didn't check on hard liquors, probably available as well) They have pool table (costs 2 euro/game). Nice area, some nice bars and restaurants in the area. 10 mins walking to the beach (through shortcut via small stones along the shore, which may not be cool for elder people). 15-20 mins walking normal way through the stairs. Wifi is good, shampoo and shower gel provided in the room.

The apartments are spacious, clean and comfy. Go for the superior pool view option. The staff are helpful, friendly and nothing is a problem. The cafe✔️ The gym✔️ The pool and poolside✔️ The location is fabulous!

What a great holiday here at 3HB Clube Humbria, great staff, food and service. The onsite self service laundry was a big winner too. The different pools were great from the splash pool with slides to the main pool and baby pool. Only thing I can see wrong is the sea being cold and pools but you can’t blame them for that can you 😝 The food was amazing we loved it from the mains to the desert. Really decent family holiday but I’d recommend it for young kids 10 as the slides are for that sort of age and below. Was it expensive, for us yes but worth it.

Just back from a wonderful stay at 3HB Clube Humbria as family of 6 - 5 adults and 1 child aged 7. First time at this hotel and I can honestly say it’s a fantastic hotel and would highly recommend. The staff are amazing from the moment you check in and they are helpful and welcoming at all times. Apartments are roomy , clean and great air conditioning . Food is great - always plenty to choose from . Pool areas are lovely - one area with slides for under 17s which our 7 year old enjoyed , main pool area is lovely with lots going on in the day - waterpolo , aqua gym and magic carpet . Animation team are excellent- great with the kids (and adults 😂) and they work hard all day and night with some great evening entertainment too. Yes as other reviews mention,pool can be cold when first get in , but that is to be expected and is a welcoming relief when it’s so hot . And yes like nearly every other hotel have ever stayed at you do need to reserve a sunbed if want a certain spot near the pool - 7.30 am ish . But there’s always sunbeds free even late morning /early afternoon if don’t mind where you are Good location - 10 mins walk to beach , 15 mins in uber to both Vilamoura and Albufeira old town . Great places to visit and we did both . We also went to Zoomarine which we loved ! Overall a fantastic stay at this hotel . We had a wonderful family holiday - thank you to all the staff at the hotel and the animation team for making it such a great experience

This hotel is great. The rooms are spacious, clean and the grounds are beautiful. There is a small kids pool, bigger main pool and a pool with slides. The slides are only for children (4-17 years) NO ADULTS ALLOWED. I wouldn't have booked this hotel had if I knew that beforehand. You are not allowed big lilos either, only ones that go around your waist. Also, don't miss the pool party! Highlight of the week The food is good, not much variety but something for everyone. The entertainment is very hit and miss. The mini disco every night is good for the kids. The other entertainment got repetitive (the same singers twice a week). The animation staff are easy to talk to but have clear favourites with the children and families. All in all it's a good place to go on holiday but we won't be coming back.

Honestly cannot fault this hotel at all... Food was excellent, and varied for each meal every day. Rooms and swimming pools were kept very clean. All staff were very friendly & helpful whenever needed. Entertainment was brilliant throughout the day and night (our 5-year old loved the daytime bingo). The TVs in the pool bar were perfect for nipping off to watch a football match with a beer. The snacks that are nearly always available in the pool bar were a big hit with our 11-year old, and were very handy for if you miss breakfast or lunch any day... The kids area is brilliant, the water slides and playground are perfect for the kids, while there are plenty of sunbeds for parents to keep an eye on them while catching some sun. Plenty of beverages to choose from -- Tea, coffee, soft drinks, beer, wines, cocktails (and not carton cocktails either). The location is nice and quiet too. Some small shops and bars close-by, and a 10 minute walk to a beautiful little beach. A 10 minute taxi into Albufeira for around 12e then for anybody wanting to do a bit more shopping or experience a louder bar scene. The management should be very proud of their staff here, they are all very good at their jobs! We will definitely be back. It might be a small bit more expensive than some other all-inclusives, but it is worth every cent. Obrigado for a great holiday Clube Humbria.

Just returned from a 11 day family holiday 4 adults 3 children. The whole place is just great. Rooms fabulous Food fabulous Hotel is spotless. Great pools for all ages, lots of activities for my grandchildren age 4 to 8. I would say the hotel is best suited for 0 to 12 year old children. We had a great day at zoo marine, booked direct on the website a booked an uber for u people, cot about 55 euros return. Great day out. Hotel is close to the beech about 10 minute easy walk and lovely shops and not too busy end of September. Adults had good fun with the daily activities and so did the children. Animation team work very hard. Rooms ate spacious, beautiful and clean with a free safe. The whole place has a happy atmosphere. Will definitely return in the future. We didn't pay extra for a pool view and were happy with our room overlooking the kids splash pool. Very peaceful at night and slept very well. Good aircon and great toiletries provided in the bathroom. Can not fault the holiday at all. My only tip would be to book private transfer to and from the hotel, especially if you have tired little ones. We booked direct with the hotel over email. Cost about 100 euros, but well worth it. The driver was waiting inside the airport when we landed and took about 35 minutes to the hotel.

Oh my goodness, this resort went way beyond our wildest expectations! Our room was amazing, so very comfortable, the bed was awesome and the room very well appointed! We had an amazing view of the ocean and the pools and gardens! The pools were absolutely wonderful, one heated, one cooler adult only pool, plus a kid’s paddling pool and an indoor spa pool as well. The breakfast area was beyond amazing!!! The service was absolutely top notch, the fresh omelette bar soooo good, every type of fresh fruit imaginable, lattes, cappuccinos, fresh orange juice and Portuguese pastries! I cannot even mention all that was there to choose from, it was really incredible! We have decided that we must return here again and recommend this resort to everyone!

We come back to this hotel each year as it has really good location on the cliff top overlooking the long beach. The hotel staff are amazing, friendly, helpful and always keen to make sure you have a fantastic stay. Rooms are either in the main buildings or in the garden. We have stayed in both and never had a problem. Rooms are spacious and well equipped. Breakfast and dinner selections in the main restaurant are wide and varied. Specialist restaurants are good as well. Pools are located in the main grounds and the gardens. Baby pool, separate kids/family pool and also an adults only pool. Plenty of loungers available and attentive pool staff.

This hotel is a dream come true. It’s expansive yet it feels like a private compound. Access to the beach and walking paths along the cliffs were great and the views are stunning. Beach side service was unexpected and much appreciated, though you do need to pay to reserve a cabana or chair. All of the pools were lovely, breakfast, lunch and dinner options at the buffet were varied and of high quality. Lima and Uddo were spectacular. We couldn’t lift a finger while there and appreciated everything the staff did to make our stay effortless and comfortable. It’s a good mix of families, couples and friends which keeps the energy light and fun. Everything, including the design is thoughtful and the rooms are bigger than expected. Plenty of towels by the pools, though some pools are more staffed than others. Know that there is one pool that is deliberately not heated, all the others are. No issues with our room other than a weird sewage smell one afternoon that was immediately addressed.

We booked the Suite for a family of four and it was very spacious and clean with a kitchenette and dining area, mini TV lounge and two bathrooms with ample towels, slippers, gowns and small touches at turn down chocolates and bottled drinking water. Transfers were booked with the hotel and were excellent and on time. Although there is no direct access to the beach, which we thought would be private, the walk down on a suspended wooden walk-way is very scenic but a little crowded. There are 3 pools one on the suites side and two on the main rooms side (one is an adults only pool) I used the Spa for a massage and facilities of the swimming pool/steam/sauna are allowed for Spa guests, sadly I did not have time for all! The treatment itself was 4/5 for the high charges for treatments. The food and cuisine at breakfast and Brunch were very good with ample variety. We would like to thank Rita and Sylvia the hostesses at our restaurant and Larysa and Jose who were very hard working and pleasant waiters. A special thank you to Elsa in Reservations who responded swiftly and organised our booking. Epic Sana made our short beach holiday very memorable in the Algarve 🩵

The hotel grounds were beautiful and access to the beach was fairly close. The beach was beautiful. There were multiple nice pools and plenty of food options. The spa was excellent, my wife really enjoyed that. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast had plenty of options. Valet parking was included which was nice. Disliked · The bathrooms in the rooms were a little too open concept, a little more privacy would have been good. The “resort view” rooms were good, but our particular view just overlooked the front entry/parking lot. My parents had an ocean view room, which had a beautiful view of the grounds and ocean. While it wasn’t an issue for me, the beach access does involve a lot of stairs which could be problematic for some people. The beach chairs also seemed kind of expensive (€30-50), it would be great if this was included. Food was on the expensive side. One other issue was the trex pool decking around the pool had a tendency to get extremely hot in the sun, hotter than concrete, and that could be a safety issue, especially for kids.

We had a great stay here last week. We stayed around the South pool because we didn't want the daily entertainment. But because there were too many older boys throwing footballs from one end of the pool to another we didn't use the pool for the last 3 days. The staff did nothing to stop them. They also need more sunbeds on the grass away from being splashed by the pool. Our 2 bed apartment was every thing we wanted (apart from the water, only 1 bottle for 5 people) and having 2 sunbeds there we used them every day. I packed a small sunshade which worked really well for my husband. The food and drinks were of a very good standard and there was loads of variety. We used Ubers and went out somewhere most days. The highlight was ZooMarine €23 in an XL Uber to get there but well worth it. I would say it's a mixture of Discovery Cove, Sea World and Wet and Wild, it's a very big site but it has something for everyone. We will stay here again and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Thank you to all the staff for a lovely relaxing family holiday, just what we needed.

This is our second trip to The Patio Suites and we were not disappointed. Myself and my 3 year old daughter went self catering and shared a deluxe apartment with my parents. The apartment was lovely and spacious and the outside area was amazing. The cleaners came everyday and did a great job, so a big shout out to them. The pool area was great and the addition of the park at the north pool was a nice surprise. The towel boy at the south pool was great and very helpful. The food that we ordered from the bar was always very tasty whether we ate in the bar or had it as a takeaway to take up to the room. All the staff were very friendly and the reception staff were extremely helpful. Would highly recommend.

Stayed for 8 days self catering. Looked at upgrading to all inclusive but decided against it as the menu was a bit limited for our taste. We have been to Portugal before in Vilamoura and loved it. Decided to save a bit of money to stay further out the hotel was lovely and clean, really big and clean rooms. Only downside was could have done with storage for clothes for the living room turned into bed for the kids. Not the end of the world. Supermarket couple mins away and a few local restaurants never busy even in summer hols. We got a taxi 3 nights to Vilamoura and 2 nights to Olhos da Água. Lot more going on in both of them but that didn’t bother us. Great Indian round the corner from hotel defo recommend. Pools felt cold but the kids didn’t care and we never struggled for a sun bed but do notice that they are quite cramped together. North pool better for kids. Kids club was ok, lovely staff but the children found it a bit boring age 7 and 5 so just played in the pool! Enjoyed our stay but I think just missed the busyness of Vilamoura and more around the hotel.

Lobby and general areas very good, clean, well maintained and comfortable. Location was good for us. Plenty of good restaurants in the local area and also happy to walk the 20 mins to village for more good options. Albufeira and Villamoura short taxi ride when we wanted a more busier night life. Very spacious room and it was quiet at night for a busy hotel and bed was comfortable. Shower was decent and plenty of bathroom space. Tv and Wi-Fi worked fine. Air conditioning also good. Towels available for room and pool/beach and easy to get fresh ones when needed. 1 x beach short walk and 2 x others had hotel transfers regularly through the day so plenty of beach options. 2 x decent clean pools and good benches and one of them in particular good for adults with main snack bar and most of the kids at the other bigger pool area

This hotel was fantastic it's been a couple of years since we have been going to Portugal and as a party of 8 people it sometimes hard to find the right place. the hotel food was excellent had a little bit throughout the week and the variety of foods and fish throughout the week was superb, the pizza station was brilliant and the salads they served had a lot of care put into them. definitely something for everyone and some of the best(if not the best) all inclusive food I've ever had. the only niggle I had with the hotel was the placing of the pool table, which I quite far away from all the main entertainment on the night and that it was quite old and they could probably do with another, but absolutely nothing too major just something I noticed. I went the end of July and start of august and it wasn't horribly busy it was pleasant. the packed lunches they do during the day are amazing and I would definitely recommend getting it if you are planning on going out. rooms are lovely possibly a little old fashioned for some but I liked them, in a nice area and a lovely hotel inside. on night entertainment was great and the two pools too, I would highly recommend to anyone looking at this hotel it is really worth the visit.

Nice location. Excellent staff. Spotlessly clean. Swim up bar closed. Disco closed. Poor evening entertainment.

The pool area was fabulous, especially the swim up pool. We were there in August so it was very hot and the pool was a welcome break from the heat. The food was very good also, we were all inclusive and it was definitely worth it. The lobby of the hotel is very nice, gives a fabulous feeling when you check in.

Our first experience of all inclusive, and we are converts. We stayed just 4 days as sitting in the sun for longer doing not very much is not our usual holiday. Plenty of space and loungers although if you want to be sat further away from your fellow holiday makers, choose wisely. The place is spotless, and plenty of greenery too. The pools are plenty warm enough, and each popular with children. It's definitely a family hotel. The entertainment was entertaining, and even we were joining in 'the song/dance' by the end of our stay. Food was plentiful, and restaurants ran smoothly. I'm not convinced there was much alcohol in any of the drinks, which means there was also no drunken behaviour, but there were plenty to choose from and a swim up bar. I guess my only suggestion would be , make an area around the swim up bar where people don't play ball games etc and splash those of us sat enjoying a drink. The indoor pool and sauna etc were lovely, and adjacent changing room/shower useful on our last day when we had to surrender our room at 11 for a flight much later in the day. We also treated ourselves to a massage in the lovely spa, which does just take cash payments.

The hotel is in a lovely small town with a few shops, bars and restaurants close by. There are two beaches within a 10 minute walk of the hotel. The hotel is really modern with lovely swimming pools, including a swim up bar. The food quality and variety is excellent with two specially restaurants. The Asian restaurant is amazing! The alcoholic drink selection is also excellent including three types of premium lager and beefeater gin. The value of the holiday is excellent with the food and drinks being so good. The rooms are really nice and are cleaned daily. The negative points about this hotel are: Not being able to sunbathe peacefully in the daytime, the music from the entertainment team is constant. If it was just on part of the day, that would be better. It would also be nice to have a quiet bar to go to in the evening or for the entertainment to be on just part of the night. This is a beautiful hotel, but the negative points sadly stop this hotel from being five-star.

Lovely hotel and staff all polite and helpful. Kenny in the entertainment was an absolute star really made our holiday. Main issues were food very fish oriented and eggs for breakfast were always overdone on the bottom but not cooked through on the top. Felt food was more directed at the youngsters ie burgers chips etc children also putting hands on food and then not taking the items touched flys on food really need to be covered. smoking around the pool was not nice and blocking of walkways with sunbeds. Lifeguard on duty was no where near the pool and didn’t seem to take much notice of things felt pool area needed to be monitored more regularly. Pool floor was very slippery too. And pool surround was not the best got too hot. Plenty of sunbeds around. Bar area could get busy so queuing was an issue. This is very much a self service hotel lacked the finer details. Didn’t really understand why we had to wait to be seated in the restaurant and not attend to you when seated. Really need water dispenser in reception area as if not have to go through the hotel. Moon bar was never open. Rooms were adequate room service could be a little lapse as there was three of us but only got two towels many times and door was not shut throughly and balcony area was never done A few minor maintenance issues around the hotel. Had a great holiday not too much to do in the local area unfortunately. This is a lovely hotel for its rating but does have a few minor issues.

Beautiful outlook to the sea and just a short but seeep walk to a sandy beach. Different pools and restaurants to choose from. One pool has swim up bar where the amazing barman Ivan will make you any cocktail and even play your music requests.

It’s a stunning property. Loved the sunset champagne bar. Food and drinks are pricey, but there are other options nearby. The pizza at the Italian restaurant and the burger at the lunch spot near the pool with the swim up bar were yummy.

Room was beautiful and large. Great view of the water. Breakfast buffet was enormous and varied. Pool area is lovely. It was nice that there was an indoor pool, as the weather was stormy while we were there.

I loved the location - stunning views, proximity to the beach. Layout of sun beds by the pool and around the gardens I didn’t like the fact that you required to wear a cap in the indoor pool Also the fitness classes were not complimentary. We’ve stayed in many 5 star resorts where Yoga/Pilates were FOC. There was an overall lack of trust I felt - you needed to pay a deposit for an umbrella refundable on return and the beach towling system was strange.

Very comfortable, and spread out resort. Many options to choose from for eating, swimming and other activities. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Prices were "reasonable" for what you get, except for the Pescadora. Dinner for three, with wine and starters came out to 300 Euro, and while the food was good, it was certainly not Michelin-level. Pools were very clean and well kept. We went in May, right as the season began, and while there were many tourists, it wasn't overwhelming. I was surprised to see so many young children, which was not what we wanted. Overall, satisfied, but I'm sure it's super busy in the peak of tourist season. It would be nice if they could separate adults and children a bit.

Extremely large and comfortable bed, we had no complaints in relation to the comfort and size of the room. Spacious balcony was handy to have to be able to dry swimwear and pool towels everyday. The pool was very relaxing and the poolside bar had everything you could need, with an extensive drinks list and lots of great, affordable lunch options. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We had breakfast included and could not fault it, absolutely delicious every day, with plenty of options. Location was great, as taxis are very cheap if you wanted to travel into Albufeira or Vilamoura. About a 15 minute walk down to the beach, there are plenty of restaurant options. We are in the local area 4 times out of 7 nights and always had a great meal. It was nice to be away from the noise of Albufeira and so I would recommend staying in this area if you enjoy a more relaxing holiday.

Freshly decorated small property. Lovely little touches such as homemade biscuits, a small gift on departure. Eco friendly...no small plastic milk pots etc... fresh jug of milk available at the bar. Lovely roof top breakfast room with a good selection of food. Small pool- peaceful, 11:00 am and just us around the pool. Checked in at 12- room was ready early, balcony upgrade and again a peaceful pool area even at that time.

The hotel was immaculate clean , the staff was all so friendly from reception to house cleaners, at reception complementary cookies and flavoured water, to free breakfast and WiFi.. food at pool bar very nice and reasonable, pool small but enough beds for guests,entertainment piano and singer at bar, although this hotel is not central to new and old town there are nice cafes and restaurants nearby , bolt app will take you to bolt for 3 and 5 euro. The bed is huge and comfi didn't want to leave..air con is amazing .Complimentary sweet treats when leaving. Free taxi transfer to hotel, can't go wrong ! Highly recommend

My go-to place in Albufeira. From the reception to the breakfast and pool area, all the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast offers plenty of choices, including healthy options and delicious croissants and pastries. The room is very clean, and the bed is very comfortable. During the day, they serve delicious pizza and wraps at the pool area. For dinner, there are plenty of restaurants nearby; I recommend Cantinha do Mar. The on-site parking is safe with plenty of spaces.

Lovely and airy, very clean and comfortable. Very relaxing, pool area was small but very peaceful and the food by the pool area was good value and tasty. Good food selection at breakfast with lovely coffee. Staff very friendly and professional. Bed comfortable

The hotel is absolutely stunning! What I love the most is the view of the Ocean over the cliffs. The food is delicious and the facilities are amazing! Sauna, gym Turkish bath, hydro-massage pool, indoor heated pool, 2 outdoor pools, infinity pool etc. I had the best time here.

We had a fantastic time here. Lovely pool, close to the beach and town. Lots of loungers in a lovely green area and no need to fight over them. Hotel provides beach/pool towels and Rituals toileries. Rooms are spacious and a/c is great. Buffet breakfast has loads of choice. Well equipped gym and peaceful indoor pool. My only criticism is that it should be easier to get water and a snack during the day. The only way to do this is to go to the on-site restaurant that is relatively expensive. I do think water should be freely available in such a hot climate and small shop selling a few drinks and small snacks would be good. I also didn't find out until the last day that we could also use the facilities at the Portobay Blue Ocean next door. I think we should have been told this on arrival.

Overall stay was lovely, as were all the staff from reception to cleaners throughout our stay! The property was beautiful with amazing views of the sea from our room as well as the pool, lounging areas and on-site Italian restaurant & the beach linked to the hotel via the staircase was lush! It was very quiet and peaceful throughout our stay also in both our room & at the poolside. Only kicker was the spa facilities were virtually fully booked out for pretty much the whole week even we went to book on the day of our arrival for later in our stay. Pool was also a bit chilly (though very refreshing in the strong heats), but speaking with friends and family staying at other hotels, this is a common theme at most hotels in the region.

Was a fantastic hotel. The rooms were clean and spacious, with bath towels and beach/pool towels provided. Rooms were cleaned nicely every day. The beach was close by, but requires a walk down some steps to get there. The steps are nice and safe, but in the heat of the day be prepared that its a bit of an effort to get back to the hotel in the heat ion the day! The hotel is linked by a private path to the neighbouring PortoBay Blue Ocean hotel, where you can use all the facilities, which include a much bigger pool and a lovely bar. We had no issues getting sunbeds for the 4 of us at any time of the day which is always nice, especially in peak season. The happy hour at the bar is great value, with not only a pre-selected 3 cocktails available at half price, but also most of the other bar items also half price, including beers, spirits and wines - was terrific value. Bar also had different music each day, with a violinist, pianist, guitarist and DJ featuring whilst we were there - this created a lovely atmosphere and a nice way to start the evening. The breakfast options were comprehensive with plenty of cheese options, hams, fruit, breads, and hot food, including omelettes made to order. Tennis courts were available for hire, with rackets and water provided, which we all enjoyed. Within a ten minute walk from the hotel are various bars and restaurants, so plenty of local choices to choose from. This hotel exceeded all our expectations - would highly recommend.

Hotel porto bay falesia is a four star hotel next to another porto bay hotel "blue ocean" in the algarve, portugal. Both hotels are connected and sourrounded by a wonderful tropical park with a breathtaking view of the ocean. The falesia hotel has very nice facilities such as outdoor and indoor swimming pools, a spa and a gym. They also have a great bar and 2 restaurants. The rooms are spacy and well cared for. The staff needs a special word. I have seldom see so nice devotion to clients by everyone. This hotel provides for a very good reference of what a 4 star hotel is supposed to be. The restaurant for breakfast and dinner is not so up to the expectations in terms of coziness and well being. It unfortunately gives more the idea of a canteen. The food however is very good and I cannot deny the choice, variety and overall quality. The restaurant "IL BASILICO" merits a special mention. It is very cosy and the staff is joyful and effective. Very often music accompanies the meal. They have many options with a different menu for lunch and dinner. Good options for vegetarians and vegans. The quality of the plates is very good and to spend there an evening is a real joy in a relaxed ambiance. A special mention also for the overall maintenance of the facilities, rooms, outside and the swimming pools. Very attractive are the terrasses around the restaurants and in many small places with a great view over the ocean. Well done, well cared, well appreciated

Good sized secure car park. Clean spacious rooms with balcony. Maid service every day. Beach towels provided. Plenty of sun beds and good sized(unheated) pool. Would be good to gave it heated in the future. Very well stocked pool bar and food can be ordered. Afternoon tea can be ordered. Excellent choice of breakfast hot and cold buffet items. Safe in room. Mini bar fridge in room. All staff very helpful and pleasant.Excellent choice of tv channels including sky sport bbc1-4 itv. Bbc2 ch 4 ch5 music films etc. Lovely bar area pool table. Taxis to Albufeira and Vilamoura can be ordered at the reception.

Had a solo 9 night break here. Staff very friendly and helpful. Hotel very clean.and well kept as was the pool. Boutique hotel so pool.was small but there was a pool bar. Entertainment on several nights during my stay including Fado...traditional Portuguese music. Great breakfast with wide variety of dishes and a lovely terrace to sit out at.

We actually stayed 8 days over two bookings - only one review given for the whole stay. Pleasantly surprised with this hotel. All the staff were very friendly / accommodating and English was widely understood if not actually spoken. The pool is not massive but ok (we went to the nearby beach most days - 20 minutes’ walk) and getting a sunbed would be a challenge if everyone appeared. Fortunately, most people were sensible and did not "reserve" their beds hours before actually appearing. The location is good and very easy to walk to Olhos d'agua. There are a few decent restaurants nearby i.e., within 5 minutes’ walk. There is a supermarket also within about 5 minutes’ walk Just something to think about - the hotel is "V" shaped so by definition most of the rooms face onto the roadway (not the pool). There is very little noise from outside as our room had two sets of patio doors (one inside the other). The air conditioning units are the quietest I have ever (not) heard. A real bonus when it’s hot and you want the ac on during the night. The breakfast (included) was comprehensive and set us up for the day. Not sure who trained the waiting staff but their efficiency was exceptional. Tables constantly being cleared - so no clutter, and food constantly being replaced. For three people it was a work of art. We would book again and probably will.

Great breakfast, lovely staff, rooms modern spacious and clean - overall a great stay. Only slight negative was the size of the pool area however the pool bar and food were great and there were just enough beds each day.

We enjoyed our stay, especially the pool and the adults only part. The lounge and pool bar were convenient and delicious.

The hotel was extremely clean and the staff were very helpful and friendly . It was a very relaxing base for our first trip to Portugal . The pool area was lovely and never felt overcrowded . We ate out a lot but had lunch a couple of times at the hotel and it was delicious .

Lovely small hotel, very friendly and very clean.Good swimming pool and plenty od sun loungers , and places ro read and just talk to new friends.

Great location & the pool was really nice. The staff were very friendly. It was good to have the air conditioning.

It is a small and quiet family run property situated a short walk from shops and restaurants. It is off the main road so is very peaceful with lots of guests returning time and again. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful at all times and made us feel very welcome. The hotel team work tirelessly to ensure cleanliness throughout the hotel and surrounding areas.

We love this hotel. Stay here at least four times per year. Can't complain about anything. It's exceptional. The owners and the staff are just the best. Food is excellent. Beds are very comfortable and it's exceptionally clean. Just love it..

Pine cliffs is what you would expect for a 5 star establishment, the staff were very friendly, food and drinks were brilliant and everything readily available which was perfect for us travelling with our 5 month old baby. The apartment was well equipped and travel cot and high chair provided. Supermarket nearby and would recommend a short drive/Uber to the larger Aldi/Lidl in Albuferia as much more selection available. The real stand out for us was how brilliant the cleaners were - our apartment was always spotless after their visit. Shout out to Sandra at Portofino who made us feel very welcome. The gym was well equipped. Pools were well maintained and lots of loungers available. We would have appreciated if one of the pools was heated (especially the kids pools) as was a little cold to take a small baby in but maybe this was that we visited later in the season.

We absolutely loved this resort. On one of the most gorgeous, best beaches I’ve ever seen. Has a huge lawn with sun chairs that overlooks the ocean. We had a 3 bedroom apartment that was so comfortable. An absolute highlight of our trip and this resort is a true oasis away from the very trashy scene at Albufeira Old Town (was gross). Food and drinks overpriced for sure. Can go out for dinner and have breakfast in your room. Huge property so need to be able to walk distances though they have transfers. Big kids club - tons of peeps with little ones. Multiple pools. Just a great experience. We loved it!

It is lovely , spacious and bright .Very comfortable bed . Kitchen area was good made a few meals .It had everything you would need . Super clean , I was on the second floor and had a great view of the pool .

Such a luxurious hotel! Worth every penny! The high standards seems everywhere - the rooms, the pools, the breakfast and all the vast area around! Definitely will come back!

Beautiful gardens, modern decor, clean and well equipped for families (garden suite apartment). Lots of options for pools, leisure, food. Staff all excellent.

A big apartment, we had a bedroom, living room with kitchen, privat bathroom and big terrace next to the pool. It was really clean and peaceful. We really enjoyed our stay.

Good and quiet location. Beautiful surroundings. Parking nearby. Comfortable and large apartment. Nice terrace. The children enjoyed the pool.

Property was clean all we needed was there our apartment was near the pool

friendly staff swimming pool was good nice clean room

The one thing i like was the staff. Very helpfull. The area was very Quiet and relaxing Nice restaurants and pubs nearby. I will Definitely stay there again . As for the apt great value for money. Two pools and a bar. You can get taxi to the old town . The beach is not fair away. Really nice beach. The weather was great when i was there. Great winter sun .

Pine Cliff Residence We spent 6 nights in the Pine Cliff Residence in June. We had a 2 bedroom, garden access apartment close to the pool area. The website will give you full details of the pools, multiple restaurants and on on-site activities so I’m not going to repeat them here. We made good use of the amenities - padel, driving range, mini-golf, rented bikes and our son attended the on site soccer camp. Each pool had a towel hut and there were always loungers available when we visited the pool area, which was relaxed. The resort shuttle provided an excellent service for the longer trips. The beach access was one of the highlights of our stay. The onsite restaurants are of high quality but can be expensive for a family to eat in for the duration of the stay so we mixed local restaurants, cooking in the apartments with eating at the resort. The favourite restaurants we ate in were Peri-Peri Steakhouse (dinner) and Zest (healthy lunch). There is a small intermarche supermarket just outside the entrance to the resort and some more budget friendly restaurants and coffee shops within short walking distance. Overall, while the stay stretches the budget, was comfortable and enjoyable. We hope to return again.

We stayed in a three bedroom residence. It was spacious, traditionally decorated and well appointed with a full kitchen and washing machine & tumble dryer. The grounds are beautifully looked after with lots of grass for kids to play on. There are plenty of beds and umbrellas around the pools with pool towels stations in multiple areas. The beach restaurant has a fantastic view. All food is excellent but as expected expensive. Drinks are also expensive. There is a little mini market at the Residences but instead of using this i recommend you walk to the supermarket opposite the entrance which is well stocked. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Pine Cliffs and will be back again.

The hotel facilities are excellent and well looked after. We stayed in the self catering residences which had two bedrooms, one with en-suite, a separate bathroom, lounge area and well equipped kitchen. There was a balcony the length of the apartment looking out over the gardens and pool. The resort has a golf course and driving range, tennis courts, 3 swimming pools and access to the beach. It is a large resort so be prepared to walk!

The grounds were absolutely stunning. So many things for my children to do. The bedrooms/apartments were absolutely spotless and cleaned everyday. We had a utility room so I could wash or iron which was fantastic. The pool was heated which was great when bringing my baby in. The pool staff were fabulous & so kind.

Our family experience at Pine Cliffs was absolutely brilliant, and we have decided that we will be back many times in the future. We really couldnt find a fault during our week at Pine Cliffs residences, and every detail of the resort is very well thought out and totally beautiful. The rooms or should I say apartments are massive, with every amenity you would want to have. We were in a 2 bedroom as we have a 1 year old and a 4 year old. The bathrooms are massive and there is also a fully decked out kitchen and even a small room within the apartment that has a washing machine and dryer. The accommodation is luxurious and every room had its own balcony. There are 7 pools within the resort, and you can choose any of them any time. There is also a gorgeous beach that Pine Cliffs guests can venture to from the resort, with sunbeds reserved and a great restaurant called Mare. Actually there are restaurants all over the resort, which we found were good value, but if not to your liking there are many restaurants around 5 mins walk near the resort (great tasting and very cheap pizza at Rustico Pizza just down the road). Lastly the staff are so helpful and warm, with friendly smiles and a "can do" attitude to any request. Thank you Pine Cliffs for a magical holiday for our family !!

We arrived late night. We were greeted and welcomed by Bernardo. We were given a welcome non-alcoholic drink which was very tasty. Check-in was easy. Bernardo explained the complimentary water bottles (2), teas, and coffee along with a water boiler. Bernardo explained a lot of things and asked if we had questions. We stayed in Room 2095 as we booked an ocean view room. The room was clean. Plenty of room to put our suitcases and belongings. Bathrobes and green towels are provided for pool usage. The sauna was complimentary. There's an indoor and outdoor pool. There's a spa and hair salon. The main restaurant is located in the main building along with the bar. Breakfast was good. Many options to include omelets, fried eggs, breakfast meats, breads, milk, sardines, mackerel, cheeses, deli meats, fresh fruits, yogurts and parfaits, and more. The vegan area consisted of porridge, cereal bar, vegan chorizo, soy milk, and a few smaller items (limited menu). Dinner options for vegans was extremely limited. Dinner cost us 53 Euros. Complimentary water is limited to the two bottles provided upon checking in. We spent five nights and our bedding was not changed during our stay. Pillows were very flimsy (did not use decorative pillows for sleeping). Overall, it was a good choice. Staff does a great job at keeping the place clean.

Very nice hotel. We visited in late November so enjoyed lying by the outdoor pool but swimming inside! Big indoor pool and sauna. Did one of the classes which was good, and played tennis. Broad range of food. House wines were ok and not expensive. Bed was enormous. Only issue was air con was on heating mode and we were too hot, even with it off. Slept with door open.

This is a good quality clean and comfortable hotel with excellent helpful staff in all areas. We asked for a quiet room with a sea view and were given both. It can get a little crowded with sun beds around the pool but there are plenty of areas to sit and the beaches are amazing. We enjoy walking so perfect for us but a lot of steps so the beach is not so accessible to the less able. For us a perfect stay.

The hotel was fantastic, facilities second to none! Bar staff, brilliant, waiters and waitresses couldn’t do enough for you! However, we feel there could have been some music around the pool area. Also, we had a minor issue around a airport transport, thought that it could have been handled better. But it was only a minor discrepancy on what was a fantastic stay. Easy access to the beach, lovely views and nice location.

First, the location is excellent. Walking distance to beautiful beaches - Falesia and Olhos de Água. The room was spacious and very clean. The food was good, a lot of variety - with the all included option. Nice pool area and a nice garden as well. Very nice resort overall, I would definitely go back.

Our 4th visit to this small resort and our first visit to this hotel. I had requested a pool view room 1 bedroom apt. On arrival we were allocated a super room on the other side of the hotel facing the main road and with no sun during the day. We requested another room and paid 50 euros more for a sea facing superior studio. This was smaller but was ideal for us, top floor, fab views, huge verandah with sun loungers and quiet. pool facilities were amazing in this hotel. My only comment which I make reluctantly is, the shower head was too high up for a 5 foot tall female, children would also have difficulty showering independently. A minor adaptation to provide flexability in lowering or raising the shower height would be appreciated. We are already looking to book our next holiday at this hotel and have highly recommended to family and friends. This hotel would suit couples and families looking for a quiet relaxing holiday. The hotel restaurant gives 10% off if you are a resident.

3 day stay, arrived at 9pm, tired and hungry and the staff were fantastic. Extremely helpful and soooo friendly. Beautiful restaurant next door and the surrounding area. Two great outdoor pools for use, the smaller one more secluded, the bigger one had a fab snack bar for great breakfast etc. Also a beautiful indoor pool. 5 minutes from a lovely beach, with more shops and a few bars. Great spot to bring children or for couples who want to stay away from the crazy night life of New Town Albuferia. Old Town Albuferia absolutely beautiful, 15 mins away by taxi.

The apartment was spacious and well equipped. The area was great, close to a grocery store, bus stop, and several good restaurants. The staff was phenomenal. The only suggestion I would have would be that the hotel provide pool towels, at least for the indoor pool. They do sell lovely towels but they would be difficult to pack to bring home. Most people do not have that kind of luggage space. Other than that, it is a wonder apartment hotel.

Lovely comfy aparthotel with 2 outdoor pools and one indoor pool. We had a one bedroom apartment which meant it was a nice size and was cleaned 6 days a week with a good kitchen area and a great bathroom with a walk in shower. Olhos d'agua is a nice quiet area with a short walk to the beach and a great, reasonably priced restaurant ,Cabrita's ,opposite .We had a fantastic holiday and hope to return next year

Very clean hotel, maids would be round everyday with fresh towels and to make the beds. I was not 100% with the continental breakfast so we ordered breakfast which was okay and we went out for breakfast. Pools are clean and plenty of sun loungers. Indoor pool you need to wear a swim cap €3. We would return to this hotel, and would upgrade to the superior bedroom!
