Algarve All Inclusive Deals

Absolutely fantastic hotel, the room is lovely we got given a free upgrade so have a pool view. The food choice and quality is excellent and the staff are very friendly. Unfortunately the second half of our trip was very noisy and disruptive due to hordes of under 14's staying for a football competition, they were noisy and every evening till nearly midnight were running around the corridors and banging on doors.

Fabulous hotel, staff were all very polite and efficient, clean... So clean! Food was good. We did 10 days all inclusive and always found something different. We ate out in Alvor a couple of times too which was nice to have the quiet from the busy dining at the hotel. Pool is huge, it was cold especially first thing in the morning but the kids seemed not to care, the pool can get a bit crowded on some days but we usually always found a lounger if we were late getting down in the morning. The entertainment team were great and full of energy, put on great shows. Kids tried kids club a couple of times and seemed to like the activities and how quiet it was compared to other resorts we have been to. The grounds and kids play area were great. Little shop on the hotel had lots of useful things but there's lots of shops in Alvor and it's worth the walk down as its a beautiful place. We hope to be back sometime.

I am still there at the point of putting my review and honestly it's amazing, the service is amazing but everyday when the cleaners come in I find so many ants on the floor by my bed the sofa also looks like it's never been cleaned in the cracks but the workers are so polite and they would gladly start a conversation with you! I'd also recommend going to the beach, it's really beautiful the tides can be big but the sand is lovely loads of seashells if you like to collect them! I would personally recommend going here for a holiday if you have kids at school I'd say book it the day first of any holidays they have off school so it wouldn't be as busy!

We are here at the moment, having been here previously more than twice a year and been happy with the room we were allocated, but not this time. I feel we were given one of the smallest rooms available, when asked to change was told fully booked. I know that is not true as I was very observant of available empty rooms during our stay.The room was very dingy and dark and dissapointing, we are used to better.Having said that it was nice to see some of the same staff still there . They were so friendly to us and the food was always lovely, but not always hot. The kebabs are to die for.The cleanliness is so good here cannot fault anything at all apart from our room. My husband is disabled and would like to see walk in showers in some of the rooms.

Eunice O'Grady

We went on a family holiday, lovely big rooms and balcony, not much entertainment apart from half an hour children's entertainment in evening, one small shop on site, there's a supermarket about 10-15 minute walk away, we walked into Alvor and it took us about 20 minutes (you can get a taxi but we wanted to walk) there's a free bus daily that takes you to the beach, would go back there. Food, drink staff were great.

Agata Sarnicka-Nowak

By my opinion and my family that place is not 5 star hotel. It's more like apartments to rent because in every room you have a kitchen to cook. We were on all-inclusive holidays and we have to pay or buy a water bottle in the hotel. My kids (14 & 10) had sleeping beds in kitchen one of them was pull out of the another not to ease too doing. The bedroom was claustrophobic with two single beds for us. The bathroom has a bathtub with a fabric curtain. Towels clean. A small pool with towels paid with a deposit (it was cheaper to buy them in the store and have them on your own). Food in the buffet is tasty and fresh. Outside of meal hours bad access to drinks that were served only in plastic cups, which you had to clean up yourself, especially from the pool area. (the pool bar was closed) Compared to other places marked with 5 stars, this place is well below 4 stars. If I were to return there as a guest, it would only be to rent a room with a kitchen, never as an all-inclusive room.

Asit Mishra

I was really impressed by the customer service provided by the hotel. Anabelle from the management team helped us as soon we reported some issues with the room. But it's not a 5 star hotel and is around 3 stars with all inclusive options. Because of its proximity to the other MGM hotels, atleast you get a lot of options for using different facilities. We had a pleasant stay!

Came here with my family in August 24. On arrival we had to wait a while because rooms weren’t ready and we arrived ahead of schedule time. Bit of confusion as cleaning staff had the room ready at 1pm but we didn’t get told it was ready till 2pm and we were very tired and just wanted a wash. Had breakfast only which was great and lots of choice for breakfast. Can’t comment on any other food. Although the coffee machine the coffee was very sweet and didn’t taste great. The room we had a very small view of the sea. Inside there is plenty of room for a third bed but for some reason they have made it into a mattress on the sofa type of thing which wasn’t very comfortable at all. The AC in room kept going off all night so you had to wake up to manually turn this off. Reported to reception they didn’t do anything about it. Upon getting into the room initially, there was still hair in the shower on the wall from previous persons. Room has a kitchen fridge etc which is good. Location for hotel is good for main strip and plenty of food places. You have to pay a tourist tax of €10 when arriving and a €100 deposit for any damage to rooms. I think personally this is a 3 star hotel not a 5 star. The rooms and hotel are dated. Cleaning staff clean every two days each room which I think was a joke considering there was 3 of us in the room and mess can quickly gather. I’m used to having rooms cleaned everyday if needed. The pool was great and sunbeds outside good. It’s good you get access to the other hotels for gym and sauna. Overall good stay; reception staff are really friendly and helpful mainly the manager Anabella. Overall wouldn’t stay here again

Hotel Muthu Forte Da Oura Hotel: We stayed here for a lads week holiday, so four of us in one apartment. Unfortunately, our room was behind the poolside ones, so there were no great views for us. Someone has to get these, I guess. Think it was OK for us as we were out most of the day. We soaked up the beautiful hot sunshine while 13.00, then we were out down the main strip for the day/night. We never tried the food here. It did look a bit basic tho, burgers seemed the most popular item! The location of the hotel was good, near the main strip & beach. Rooms appeared a bit dated & good enough for us, I would spend a week here with the family, tho I'd pay the extra cost for a proper 5 star, I think. All in all, it was acceptable for groups, male and female, families I would look for something better,

Sinead Lisibach

Photos on website are misleading definitely not a 5 star hotel. Breakfast options were good , lunch was ok had dinner once then ate out every other night as I got food poisoning from the Mexican. Had to move rooms as it was so loud at night time with people coming back at all hours of the morning. Cockroache in the hallway for a full day told them in the morning it was there still there at 4pm. Wouldn’t recommend for couples or families. Mould on pillows and in bathroom , very disappointing.

Visited early November 2024: Excellent location, just 30mins walk along the beach to Albufeira Town which includes a few nice refreshment stops along the way. The other way, there is a nice walk along the beach which also was very quiet, due to the time of year. The hotel has the end of the beach, which was very quiet when we visited. The outside pool is quite large but we didn't choose to use it as every morning the bathing seagulls filled the pool with feathers, of which the staff did clear out every day, besides having access to the sea was much more desirable. The indoor pool was an adventure to find, for some reason the signs in the hotel are not correct. The rooms are semi-modern and ours on the third floor was in need of a bit of a revamp. There is next to no soundproofing so expect to be woken up by late night party goes, non the less the bed was very comfortable and we were able to drift back to sleep. All in all, very good base to get around a few places and leasurely walks to town. There is a party strip up there road from the hotel so expect it to be busy during peak seasons. The staff were excellent, very attentive and helpful. The male attendant at breakfast in the morning made an effort to welcome us and say "good morning". Breakfast was a standard affair, full English seemed to be the most popular but there was a good selection of fresh fruit.

Damian Kris

Whoever rates this place at more than 2 starts clearly had to be drunk. The hotel is outdated throughout, and the room is from 1990 at the very best. Whoever thought about giving this hotel 4 starts clearly has no clue about what they are doing, and 5 stars sight at the entrance to the reception. It is a silly joke. Food option for all-inclusive is shocking at push, you get the same 3 option buffet in the morning and although you can book yourself a dinner in one of many restaurants which they own, we left the place after 15 mins as I wouldn't feed my dog with what was served. I have automatically cancelled all reservations which we had for the rest of the week and when chatting to the receptionist, he just knocked his head and said that he knows how poor it is and there is nothing he could do about it and simply apologised. 3* Hotels in Spain seem to be luxurious to this, and although we are only 3 days in our 7, I would already book a plane back if I could only get the money back.

Denise Creelman

Perfectly serviceable, rooms clean but dated, very little interaction with guests, bar and reception welcoming but that's it, have to go to other hotel for main meal not ideal. Specialist restaurants very nice, good food. But limited choice alround. To be honest nowhere near a 5 star, needs a lot of tweeks in every department ...coffee/sugar Dosnt get replenished, told to use machine in reception..even though kettle and some supplies at the beginning in the room.. States on welcome letter, food and drink not to be taken to room or there will be a charge, if wristband lost €25 charge... €100 per room deposit, never have i been asked to pay deposit in any hotel I have stayed in especially a supposed 5 star.. But still made the best if it...

Abby Mitchell

Very, very disappointed. The whole property including the rooms and common places are outdated. The rooms were clean and we had no problem with the staff that cleaned them, but the couch and kitchen appliances were probably 20 years old and never changed out. For the most part the pool and pool area were clean but the pool chairs were all broken. We booked the all inclusive and it was HORRIBLE. The breakfast and lunch at AQUA were not good. We could not get to any of the other restaurants that were supposedly including in the all inclusive package due to them being on a different property requiring different key cards. We tried Jacks one night for dinner and were so disgusted we left after one bite. This is not a five star resort. It does not own the beach in front of it but you can access it from the mgm property. We will not be returning and we’re upset with the price we paid for our disappointing stay.

John Flood

Incredible experience for our kids 5 and 8 years old. The pool was fantastic 2 slides and a diving board. Located on the beach it was perfect We were all inclusive and the food was very good with an amazing variety 10/10 from all our family.

Maddison Rushforth

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the beach, which made it easy to enjoy the beautiful coastline every day. The food was lovely, with a great variety that catered to all tastes. The surrounding area had everything you could need, from shops to cafes, all within easy reach. The staff were incredibly helpful and made sure we felt welcome from the moment we arrived. Plus, the scenic views around the hotel added a special touch to the whole experience. Highly recommended!

Jason Nicholl

Excellent location near beach and town. Staff are very friendly polite and professional. Check in was quick and easy. The rooms are lovely and clean, comfortable beds, clean bathroom plenty of hot water, nice balcony with a sea view. The hotel is big and has multiple restaurants for all tastes and lots of seating areas in the very well kept gardens. The restaurants are clean with plenty of places to sit, good choice of food and all very nice. The bar has a good selection of drinks from the all inclusive menu and again plenty of places to sit inside and out with a sea view. I would highly recommend this hotel. Sorry if I have missed something but we'll definitely go back.

James kenny

The location is amazing, the staff are fantastic. The only complaint I could have is the waiting time for check in is ridiculous, we arrived at the hotel at 11am and didn't get our room until 3.45pm. We also booked a deluxe double sea view room, when we arrived we were told it was a twin room and they'd push the beds together. Also for a deluxe room, it was very small.

A Yates

Please take note of all the negative reviews. They are all correct! The hotel is too big and can not offer what they say. The pools are too small for the number of guests. We were all inclusive..... drinks are small, and the bar is too busy. The bar shuts at 10.30 pm!! The other bars are a walk up the hill. The main restaurant is OK but repetitive and the other restaurants are OK. They tell you the other restaurants are fully booked, but if you email a complaint about this, they find you a table! It is certainly not as good as other all-inclusive hotels I have been to. But I love the Algarve and I will be back but not to this hotel. I don't recommend it at all.

John Day

I recently embarked on a solo trip and was thoroughly impressed with the hotel's location and the exceptional service provided by the staff. They consistently displayed a positive and welcoming attitude, always willing to engage in friendly conversations. The rooms were meticulously cleaned throughout the night, ensuring a comfortable and hygienic environment. Moreover, the culinary offerings were remarkable, with a diverse range of delectable dishes available at all times. Overall, it was an exceptional experience at a truly remarkable hotel.

We first stayed here in 2016, and had not returned until this year. nevertheless I always popped in every year to say hello to Bob in reception, who became a good friend. it really felt like coming home and we quickly became friends with most of the other Reception staff. Our apartment was superb, overlooking the pool, with an balcony about 3 quarters of the length of a cricket pitch!

gemma shanley

This was my 3rd time staying here and it will be my last. Our room was located right above the rockline bar which the music went on till at least 4 in the morning. We asked could we move and was told the hotel is booked out which is fair enough. The room for 3 people was tiny definitely not enough space. The room was also very dated and the bathroom wasn't in great shape. How this hotel is still 4 stars is beyond me. We had all inclusive which was a disaster. They had a variety of different food places to eat from but only managed to eat out of one of them cause they were always booked out. There was a place you could get a buffet from but was pretty much the same food every night. Wouldn't recommend going all inclusive if you have kids. There was a restaurant in the hotel but only think I saw it opened one of the ten nights I was staying there. Location is good that's about it .

Stayed for a week in November in a 1 bedroom apartment. Room was very spacious but in need of modernising a bit. Staff were friendly. Rooms were serviced regularly. Lovely pool area with plenty of loungers.

Hj Jayne

Very poor service and hotel. I’m really not satisfied with how we where treated and the service dealt with us during our stay. There are some good points which I will note toward the end… During our stay I was sat down on the sunbeds around the pool and then went to collect a drink from the bar, by the time I returned my sunbed had been taken and my towel thrown on the floor by the staff, and they explained that there isn’t enough sunbeds for the people in the hotel. And the sunbeds are not allowed to be reserved of which I explained that I’d not reserved them I was sitting on them and went to get a drink. The staff didn’t seem to care that me and my family didn’t have any sunbeds. Yet we noticed numerous other families reserving sunbeds, going all day without anyone sitting on them and then coming to them later on in the afternoon. What I ended up doing was taking my own chair from the balcony and sitting around the pool in that. We also could not sleep because every night there where music blasting out until 2/3 am. Of which we went and complained to reception the receptionist said she’d try to resolve this and never did. This unfortunately really ruined our stay as we were tired in the day and then couldn’t even relax on a sunbed during the day. We were also not informed that on arrival that we need to leave €100 deposits, for any damages. This should have been made more clear. I’ve stayed in hotels with far more expensive rooms and have never had to leave a deposit. However the location of this hotel was good and service at the restaurants were good. But overall not good won’t be staying here again.

Kath Jones

Stayed for a week in October. We arrived before the 5pm check in time and allowed to store our luggage and use the facilities. This must have been an impressive hotel but is now showing it's age - inside and out. Very large reception area- would have been nice to be greeted with a welcoming smile. Good size room but in need of a refurb. Didn't use the air-conditioning but there's obviously been an issue as the wooden ceiling next to the unit is black and warped. Overall clean room and well fitted kitchen. Shower very disappointing- not much power and over the bath. Beds comfortable. Pool area nice. Walls are paper thin you can hear everything. Good maid service. Hotel in fantastic location for lovely bars and restaurants. Casa Velha, Paulu's, Teppanyaki worth visiting and the Clay Oven Indian is well worth the walk. Supermarket on site.

David Green

Cannot recommend highly enough! I would love to say everything is perfect but there are tiny things that could be tweaked to make it perfect, however it is by a distance the best 3 star we have stayed at. The food is great and better than a lot of 4 star hotels, can't fault it. So much selection at all three meal times which should keep everyone happy. The room could do with updating however given the resort is three star you really can't complain. The house keeping staff even seen it was my fiance's birthday and left a bottle of bubbly in the room which was a lovely gesture. Could not ask for a better view from the balcony. The resort facilities are good, nice clean pool with lots of sun loungers (these could do with upgrading) lots of things to keep boredom at bay. The animations team are amazing in particular Mauricio who made us all feel so welcome and always made time to check how we are without forcing games on us. Every member of staff at the resort is a credit to the company, everyone is so friendly. Keep up the amazing work!

Joanne Bates

Still on holiday here, 4 weeks. Still won’t want to leave when time comes. Ideal place for us, food is varied enough and most of it is delicious. Awesome views and location is between both centres, easily walkable, but free shuttle bus to centre 3 times a day. Choice for swimming is great, indoor or both large and small pools with a child’s splash pond, in addition to the sea. Which I found to be warmer, though it’s not stopped me swimming a good distance daily. For slightly accessible needs, many lifts around to place to avoid the steps, with slopes on site where necessary. All Staff whether reception, housekeeping, restaurant, bar and entertainment are professional and helpful. Will hopefully return in the near future.

I stayed in this hotel several times. Overall am ok with it. The location is the absolute highlight of this hotel. The room is unfortunately outdated but i would say clean. The dinner can be hit or miss I had great dinner sometimes but some nights i did find the dinner very boring . For example in my last stay for one week, i had two or three dinners which i find not so great (only the standard 3 star hotel food) but then the other nights they offered great meals (great special fish, grilled BBQ ribs) I recommend you book only few nights first and try it yourself then decide if you like it or not

Manni W.L.

A good 3 star hotel, the key to enjoy it is to have low expectations. And keep in mind it is a standard 3 star. The view is one of the best in the region. And that is the greatest asset of the hotel. Other than that do not expect more. Then you will enjoy it.

Julea Field

Hotel was built in 1967 and it shows. The furniture in the rooms looks original very tired and broken. Hard uncomfortable single beds pushed together. Cheap price only £43 for room with 2 breakfasts per night November 2024. But, cheap price attracts cheap clients...loud drunk people on first night woke me up at 4.30am. We were lucky to have sea view but lots of rooms had a view of other blocks. Kettle...hair dryer...iron and board not in room kept at reception to collect. Fridge in room useful. Deposit required upon arrival of €10 for your room key...that for me was a tell tell sign straight away of the sort of place we had booked. They also wanted the receipt upon checkout to get our €10 back so be careful not to throw that away. We love the Algarve and have stayed for many years, but this hotel put a black cloud on our 10 day holiday, wouldn't book again.

Big, massive hotel, great room size. Good English breakfast and cereal. However, the pictures online are far from reality on the ground. The room I was in with my partner had a single bed, and we were made to understand that this is how all the rooms are. We requested that the bed arrangement should be changed to a double size. The TV remote wasn't working, which made it a bit of a challenge to either switch the TV on or off. We could only have it either way when we were in bed. The room intercom is not working; you have to go to the reception to pass your message. If you are not careful, if you close the sliding door behind you on the balcony, hotel staff would have to let you back into your room, depending on the time of the lockout. The outside pool was quiet, probably due to the period we visited, but the indoor pool was busy, as the kids and adults enjoyed the indoor splash. As hotel guests, it was also a surprise for me to have to pay €8 to use the gym. Aside from that, should there be an emergency in the gym, there are no clear directions to the emergency exit from the gym. In my opinion, the rating I would give the facility out of 5 is 3.5.

Mark Alexander

Great hotel, brilliant pool. Rooms are decent, beds are comfortable. Balcony is big enough, a pool view would have been better. Check in is after 2pm. Toilet and shower is good. Overall, it’s a good hotel. Pool staff are quite strict, you can’t bring your own food or drinks to the pool.

Joanne O Riordan

We had a fabulous family holiday in August 2024. I was nervous as I booked this hotel before reading reviews and some of the reviews are not positive. But, we have been very pleasantly surprised in the last week. The staff at this hotel are super helpful, reception, bar, restaurant and entertainment staff are all great people who obviously love their jobs. The food was pretty good- very nice toasties beside the pool, we were all inclusive so we had a lot of those. We were limited to certain wines, beers but I think that's normal with self included packages. The hotel room was very spacious , we had a two bed apartment and have two teenagers and a little girl so plenty or room which was really comfortable. The apartment was spotlessly clean and was cleaned every day. The main attraction was the pool, which was huge with great activities every day, aqua aerobics, waterpolo, dancing and also a diving area which had 4 different heights. There was a shortage of umbrellas around the pool but this is also a common problem in most holiday hotels. There is a good Spar shop and a holiday type shop in the reception area and both were reasonably priced. The main negative is the need for repair work in some areas of the hotel. There are some cracked tiles in the corridors and around the pool area. Our patio door lock broke while we were there but the maintenance men had it repaired within an hour. Overall, we had fabulous holiday and I would recommend this hotel. if you look past the need for refurbishment, the hotel has a lot of positives.

Ciara Murphy

Amazing stay at the hotel. The staff during the day and night amazing. So friendly and welcoming ♥️♥️♥️. Highly recommend for families. All inclusive is very good. Food is portugese but still very nice and healthy. Bar food very good for children. Highly recommend. Especially because of staff they are amazing 😊😊👌👌♥️

Sarah Mulvey

Just stayed a week there with my friends. Before I got there after reading the reviews my standards were very low but after arriving I was shocked. The staff were lovely and the facilities were amazing. Our room was lovely, spacious and clean. Honestly nothing bad to say and I would definitely return. Location wise it is right beside a little shopping centre and a taxi was only €3 at most to get to the strip.

Adriana Beach Club Hotel Resort Review - November Visit I recently visited the Adriana Beach Club Hotel Resort in November, during the off-season, and was pleasantly surprised by the level of care and service provided, despite the quieter period. The staff at the hotel really go above and beyond, working tirelessly to maintain the grounds and ensure everything is in top condition. The resort is well-kept, and you can tell a lot of effort goes into the upkeep, even when things are slower in the off-season. The views of the Atlantic Ocean from various points around the resort are absolutely stunning. The expansive coastline and the sound of the waves crashing make for a serene and relaxing atmosphere. If you enjoy scenic views, you’ll definitely appreciate the beauty of the location. Access to the beach is via a set of stairs, which can be a bit challenging, especially for those with mobility issues, but the walk down to the sand is well worth it. The beach itself is peaceful and relatively quiet during the off-season, perfect for a relaxing day by the sea. The restaurant facilities were also impressive. The buffet was the only option open during our visit, but it offered a great variety of food, all of which was fresh and tasty. Despite being out of season, the quality and selection of food were still excellent, and the staff were more than willing to accommodate special dietary requests or food preferences if you ask. One downside of visiting during the off-season is that only the main bar and buffet restaurant are open, which means that guests at the far end of the resort (like we were) can find it a bit of a trek. It took us about 10 minutes to walk to the main area for food or drinks, which might be a consideration for those with mobility issues or those who prefer more immediate access. Overall, though, the Adriana Beach Club is a lovely place to stay, and despite the quiet time of year, the staff’s dedication to quality service and maintaining a high standard made our stay enjoyable. I’d recommend it for anyone looking for a peaceful, well-maintained resort with breathtaking views, but perhaps be prepared for a bit of walking if you’re situated at the furthest points of the property.

Sue Smith

A few problems on arrival but sorted fairly swiftly by Sophia, hotel manager and holiday company. Buffet food could be hotter. Good selection but dining areas were exceptionally busy. Nice to eat in 'The Grill' a small restaurant on the complex. This is ideal for families as there appeared to be a variety of activities on offer. I would commend 90% of the staff for their helpfulness. Sadly there is always one that let's things down. The shuttle bus would be more user friendly if it ran so that a morning or afternoon could be spent off resort, rather than all day. There is an additional charge for the bus. Better if included as part of all inclusive offering.

Flavio Antonio Fonseca Pereira

Well it changed a lot. From free drinks to difference between premium and non-premium all inclusive drinks. Rooms are big, but if you have a room near the restaurant than it smells a lot and they are loud. How can you charge a deluxe room price in such condition? A big disgrace. Rooms are very clean and cleaning service is excellent. People in overall are very friendly and child-friendly. Food buffet is great, but it also changed a lot. I miss at the Portuguese buffet. Everyday almost the same. I also noticed the hotel is missing a Portuguese touch in overall. Half of the bar people doesn‘t understand Portuguese and we have to tell them 2-5 the same order. It's kinda annoying. Big plus: Very awesome to be near the beach. Max 5 minute walk.

Kriti Chidambaram-Kharade

AP Adriana has fantastic sprawling (accessible by golf buggies, if needed) grounds. The villa type rooms (none more than 2 stories high) nestled in the curated gardens and proximity to the cliffs and beaches is unparalleled, at least in the Algarve region we were looking into. Where it falls short is describing the room as 'Superior'. Ours was an ordinary room, which the dark blue walls make more depressing. Don't get me wrong, the room has all the necessities (comfy beds and pillows, good lighting, large balcony, plug sockets by the bed), but it's not superior, which is indicative of some manner of luxury. I do want to commend the shower area. It's not a bath tub (a relief to not climb in and out of), nor is it one of those tiny shower cubicles. The shower itself is responsive to temperature and has good water pressure. Unfortunately, there is no ventilator in the bathroom and neither is the mirror anti-fog. The food and drink in the various bars and restaurants are okay. The chef switches up the food menu for each meal, but the interesting drinks at the bar (the ones not from a vending machine) usually form part of the 'All-inclusive Premium', which is €20 extra per day. Otherwise, AP Adriana has great sport and fitness facilities, although it's incredibly difficult to get a booking at the spa - I sent two emails, left a message with the receptionist and still had to go in person to book treatments.

Really nice Resort. I 100% recommend this place. I had a great holiday here. The place is clean and tidy, the food is amazing, the entertainment is great, the customer service from reception, to catering, and cleaners are all 100% exceptional. Nice and big swimming pool, near to the beach. Also thank you for the birthday cake surprise. it made my day more exciting. Great for family breaks.

Jamil Siddique

All in all the hotel deserves 5 stars. Good hotel . Clean and well maintained rooms . Helpful and supportive staff . Good food in the dinner hall for breakfast and dinner . Restaurant staff are super helpful . Food range is very good too. On the downside the gym is minuscule and the hotel could benefit greatly by investing in a proper gym room suitable sized for the size of the hotel . Getting around the hotel is a bit of challenge with various lifts that don’t service all floors . But apart from that was a very good hotel to stay in.

The Iberostar Selection Lagos Algarve is located outside of Lagos and within a short walking distance from Meia Praia. Getting to Lagos involves a short drive or Uber ride into town. There is also a tourist train that stops outside, which takes you around the main sights in and around Lagos. The hotel is in a modern building with sea views, and the interior felt a bit corporate and sterile. We stayed in a comfortable junior suite with a sea view, although for the price it should have been a bit bigger. For food and drinks, we chose the all-inclusive option, which turned out to be a good choice. It included breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets and free food from the snack bar, including drinks. We enjoyed the buffet, which was very good quality. We preferred however the snack bar, which was less crowded and a more relaxed place to eat and also sometimes had even better food than the buffet. There was a nice indoor pool which was heated and which we used, since the outdoor ones were not heated and were too cold to swim in this time of year. The gym was very small and crowded, and too warm inside due to being located in a room adjacent next to the indoor heated pool. There were a few activities scheduled each day, but generally not much to do at the hotel. We tried to book a massage at the spa but were informed by the staff that there was no availability for the next 2 days, which was disappointing. There was a Star Club for kids between 4-12, and a kids pool, but we didn't see many children at the hotel and it seemed like more of a place for adults. Overall, a nice stay but was it really worth the price and did the service and amenities live up to the expectations? In terms of value for money I would give it 3 stars.

Stefan

Superb spot on the Algarve just a bit away from Lagos city centre but easy to get to via taxi, public bus or bike. Friendly staff and amazing breakfast buffet in the morning. The rooms are nice and modern but hallways, floors and carpet are a bit dated and could use a make-over to make this a 5 🌟 hotel.

My experience at this hotel was far below expectations, especially for the price. I was initially placed in a room designed for handicapped guests, and when I requested a change, the staff pushed back until I mentioned leaving a negative review. Only then did they offer me a different room. On the last day, housekeeping entered my room exactly at 11 AM without knocking, rushing me to leave because they were fully booked. For a 5-star hotel, this was unacceptable—at the very least, they should have called before entering. The overall cleaning service was also mediocre for a hotel of this caliber. I had planned to extend my stay but was told I couldn't stay in the same room and would need to move to a nearly identical room next door. When I questioned this, they suggested I book at a nearby hotel instead. To add to the disappointment, the pool water was too cold. Overall, the service did not live up to the 5-star rating or the price, and I will not be returning.

We visited the hotel to use the spa. The whole experience was sublime and beautifully managed by Leonor. She is perfect spa personnel;calm, thoughtful and professionally experienced. The Spa itself is perfect. The system of reserving and having the facilities yours alone make it a luxurious, heavenly experience. The sauna, steam room and jacuzzi all functioned perfectly as you would expect in a hotel of such high standards. An experience I can't wait to repeat.
