Friendly staff, great pools, and beautiful scenery.
Gautam, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The resort is located on a beautiful strip of beach. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The free shuttle into the new and old town was really great. Breakfast was delicious, value for money and lots of choice.
Rohini, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing!! Hotel was exactly as advertised. The location was perfect for a relaxing getaway but within a reasonable distance to the tourist spots with a shuttle offered. We had breakfast each morning of our stay which was fantastic with plenty of options. The pineapple coconut juice was delicious and the self serve cafe machine was something we had never seen before. Restaurants on site with beautiful ocean views were delicious. Would definitely stay again if in the Algarve.

Wonderful place by the beach

Very pleasant stay. The hotel is placed right at the seaside. It offers plenty of leisure options. Pools are distributed throught the hotel, so they don´t get crowded or noisy. Kids club is quite bland, so better not count on that! Beach is just right! Wonderful breakfast, worth while. For other meals, food is too expensive and nothing special.

Prince, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was great. The hotel itself was a big disappointment. Very outdated and not well maintained facilities. Pools are tiny but clean. Charged to use beach chairs which was ridiculous at the nightly rate we paid. Tons of seaweed on the beach - no clean up by staff. Slow front desk, not friendly. Wouldn’t choose this hotel again.

Pleasant January stay.

Pleasant January stay, Relaxing and quiet, but the hotel was still running very good service. Pools were open and the food was very good. Great breakfast.
Erik, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

What a view!!!!

We booked a comfort double sea view room and were ever glad we did! What a view. The room was renovated and looked beautiful. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom did not get renovated and was dated. It really didn’t go with the room but the view solved any doubts we had. The breakfast was excellent. Location was phenomenal and did I mention the view? We used Bolt to get to around in addition to walking You definitely stay here again.
Zulf, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fabulous resort hotel. Great heated pools, pretty private beach, easy access to restaurants and a few minutes to Albufeira old town… breakfast buffet is more than you can ask for, Atlantico restaurant is really good but local dining options are a better deal…

10/10 Exceptional

Great location with a great view and access to the beach. The hotel is a little dated, but in a good condition. Perfect place to chill during the off season. Good breakfast.
Michael, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

We stayed two nights at the Grande Real. It was okay but not amazing in my opinion. I felt the staff was not as friendly and accommodating as I am used to when staying at resorts. Some staff members were annoyed with our general questions and requests. This included desk staff and restaurant staff. The restaurants were inconsistent, not having food items we were told they would have - and a lot of it was sub par food and really expensive. Everything also closes pretty early so at night we felt the resort was pretty dead. Beach area was nice and pretty, but pools were small and bombarded by families with kids. We enjoyed ourselves more outside of the resort truthfully and would likely do a different option if we returned to Albufeira.

Daniela, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We were very happy with our stay! Honestly if we had gin to Algarve first we probably wouldn’t have made it Lisbon. Shuttle in to town very convenient. Breakfast delicious and ample. Location so very pretty. Pillows could use to be changed out , were a bit flat and firm. But other than that, would definitely recommend.
linda, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Be clear on your room reservation when checking in

Excellent property. Run to the highest standard. With that being said, we had booked a sea view room. We did get a sea view....acriss the kids envlosed playground and a major 7am to 10pm renovation. Pool and beach areas are fantastic...top notch. Very, very nice place,but, for the price, we were left feeling a little less than satisfied.
Dan, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Shower needs upgrade. Staff were not overly friendly and service was very slow in the bar areas.
