Apartments in Barlavento

"We had a wonderfull stay at the holiday inn Albufeira. The staff was really nice and helpful. The hotel was nice and clean, theyre renovating the inside pool and spa/gym. Good breakfast. And all this for a good price! "

"Very good"

"Great shower power, clean, and a variety of delicious food at the breakfast buffet. I would stay again. There is one item I thought may have been overlooked, and that is the sauna area. The surfaces should be wiped down periodically throughout the day, as the floors were dirty and the turkish sauna felt and smelled unclean. There were children in the saunas which surprised me, as where I am from, children are permitted in only the pools, not the sauna. Also, closing the pools at 7 is early."

"Hotel provided free shuttle to and from beach "

"The room was a nice big size and location was nice just outside of the old town and near a beach and beautiful boardwalk. Big kitchen but was missing a baking pan which I bought one at the supermarket. Unit did not have laundry and there was no self service laundry in the building, only pay by item which was a disappointment. Furnishings could use an upgrade."

"Great location to beach - just a 2 min walk, clean and modern. Easy walk to shops and restaurants . "

"We had a studio which was basic at best. Curtains didn’t quite meet, damage to the walls, stained bath, not very attractive bedding, very basic kitchen equipment. Only two glasses! The service wasn’t great, pool bar wasn’t even open on Sunday in May so we had to go inside order and wait to bring our own food back out to the pool Not worth the price in my opinion "

"Enjoyed our time there and loved the location. Staff were super. "

"The hotel was gorgeous, beautiful pool area and lovely, large rooms. My complaint is with the hotel restaurant itself. We had been traveling all day and were hungry. We were the second table to arrive at the restaurant. We ordered food and then waited. And waited. And waited. After an hour, we were furious. Our waiter had NEVER come back to our table, never brought food, never checked, etc. We got up to leave and suddenly he ran over to us. We left the restaurant, feeling super angry. I guess he told someone because the restaurant manager actually came to our room that night. He apologized and gave us free breakfast the next day. That was kind, but it doesn't change the bad service we received. It kind of ruined our whole experience. "
