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.

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.

Eileen Goddard

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.

Janet Boak

Lovely hotel, rooms spotless, cleaners work really hard, as do all members of staff. Pool is huge, but cold, mind , you do soon get used to it . Never had a problem getting a sun lounger, loads to go round. 2 restaurants, green for families and blue for adults, plenty of choice , just the odd day the choices weren't to my taste, but, still found something to eat. All in all we had a lovely holiday. If anyone asked me if I would recommend the Alvor Baia, my answer would be, yes absolutely

John Wright

This is not a 4star hotel. Very limited food offer in restaurant same most days . No pool tables no real games room . Indoor pool u have to pay extra bd kids can only use between 6 and 7pm . Limited drinks menu. When we stay there was a booking with over 600 kids in a football tournament who took over hotel. Very noisy here everything from floor above and corridor. Entertainment is prob the worst ever seen in a hotel . Staff do nothing when u raise a complaint. Lovely area shocking hotel. We won't be back

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.

Vic P

We stayed in the 1 bed apartment with a kitchenette . Fairly equipped but more could be done. Room a little tired but clean and comfortable The seaview from the balcony in the bedroom and lounge was to die for ❤️ Very convenient location, staff were superb ! Lovely Restaurants nearby Would happily come again.

Sèamus Cameron

Had a nice time here over Xmas/New Year period, self catering with enough little restaurants open around the resort, also a handy little shop 5 min walk up the steep hill, unless you take the lift to floor 6 that saves you the steep walk, there are also large supermarkets 5 min drive away .. The apartment itself was cleaned/towels changed every day so the place was spotless, couldn't fault it .. The onsite bar had entertainment most nights, but if you had a night in the TV had BBC 1 & 2 along with ITV & channel 4, also plenty other EU channels .. The WiFi signal was good but intermittent, luckily the phone signal was good everywhere .. The staff were great but the complex itself looked a little bit tired in places, but there was daily non disruptive maintenance work during our stay to address this .. would we return? .. probably.

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.

Babatunde Giwa

"Initial impressions were decent, but quickly soured. Breakfast was inconveniently located away from the main hotel, and lunch/dinner was at another property entirely. Room cleanliness declined rapidly, with towels, bins, and cups left untouched. Tea and coffee were only complimentary on the first day, and essentials like milk and water were not provided – surprising for an all-inclusive 5-star. Breakfast offered decent variety, but the food at the Jacs Bar restaurant was truly awful. The indoor pool, advertised as being on the 4th floor, was actually on the ground floor. Reception staff were unhelpful and disinterested after the initial check-in. Overall, this hotel fell far short of its 5-star rating. I would not recommend it and certainly won't be returning." Like why do I have to walk for 10 minutes to get to another hotel for breakfast??? The hotel is out of date , WiFi wasn’t even working at the room I paid for had to change my room .. Like this is pure torture ! If there’s anything like -1 star I’ll rate it that .

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.

Flavia Desa

This Hotel is placed on the prime location. You wake up to the magnificent views of the beach and sleep to the soothing sound of the waves. Loved this convenience soo much on our vacation there. The hotel staff are very helpful though some of the staff at the reception can maybe put on a smile while giving you the instructions. The rooms are decent a mid 1980’s vibe. But the grounds of the hotel are very nice,clean and well maintained. Loved it and will definitely recommend booking this ,if beach is the reason you are visiting ✨

Kaitlyn Beveridge

We arrived for a 5 day stay on the 13th March 2025, we have yet to have a room clean and we leave tomorrow, room has a damp smell and the room is covered in mould!! Hotel staff claim this is a “Deluxe” room and I can assure you it’s not, below basic is more accurate. Location is great however I wouldn’t return to this hotel as it’s very run down and I don’t think anyone should have to deal with mould specially those with health conditions or children!!

Michael KELLY

Rooms very dated. Strong sanitary smell in our room. Food left a lot to be desired. Best meal was Breakfast. Very poor choice at other meal times. Staff quite ignorant. Not in the least friendly. AVOID....WOULD NOT RECOMMEND

Shannon Mee

Disappointing Stay – Room 419 Was a Nightmare Our experience at was far from enjoyable, especially in Room 419. The noise levels were unbearable—you could hear people at all hours, particularly at night. Despite the hotel's supposed policy of quiet after 10 PM, the corridors were filled with the sounds of drunken guests singing, shouting, and having loud conversations. Being right next to the lifts made it even worse, as you could hear every guest coming and going. The hotel itself felt completely lifeless. If you're visiting in the winter sun, there’s nothing to do besides sunbathing and swimming. No entertainment, no bingo, and absolutely nothing for kids—just an overall dull atmosphere. On top of that, it feels like the hotel is constantly trying to squeeze more money out of you. Lose your wristband? That’ll be €12 for a new one. Want a beach towel? That’s €12 each. It’s ridiculous. The food was hit or miss. The cocktail menu was small but decent. However, I would strongly advise against the open-air BBQ—the food was appalling, the restaurant was freezing, and to top it off, a massive cockroach was crawling nearby as we ate. Definitely not the experience you'd expect from a hotel of this standard. On the plus side, the location is right next to the beach, which is a bonus, though there’s not much else to do in the area. One nice touch was that a staff member noticed it was my birthday and kindly gave us a bottle of red wine. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend staying in Room 419, and if you're looking for a lively or value-for-money hotel experience, this isn't the place for you.

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!

A Comedy of Errors – Stay at Your Own Risk! From the moment we checked in, it was clear this would be an adventure. First, we were assigned a room that smelled like a 1980s smoking lounge. In an attempt to make amends, the hotel “upgraded” us to room 407—where things somehow got worse. Thanks to torrential rain, water began enthusiastically pouring from the ceiling directly into the kitchen. If you’ve ever wanted a live demonstration of why electricity and water don’t mix, this was it. Cooking became an impossibility, and the resulting aroma? A unique blend of damp despair and mildew. When I reported the issue, a maintenance worker assured me it would be fixed. Two days later, the leak was still going strong, and when I pressed for an update, a staff member shrugged it off, blaming the rain. Because apparently, stopping leaks is too much to ask of a building designed to keep water out. Beyond the impromptu indoor water feature, the hotel had the charm of a forgotten antique shop. The furniture was ancient, the flooring was uneven, and the tiles looked like they’d been through several earthquakes. If you enjoy playing “will the ceiling collapse on me today?” or appreciate hotels with an abstract approach to guest comfort, this is the place for you. Otherwise, I’d strongly suggest booking literally anywhere else.

Linda McBean

Some of the rooms need renovating for the prices they charge. Having said that if you don't want to party on the strip (we are in our 60s) this area has lots of decent bars and restaurants. We've been coming here for over 20 years! The best part of oura praia hotel...seeing Bobs friendly face!

Christine Marshall

First time visitors to Albufeira- family of four with 2 grown sons. 2 bed apartment was brilliant - everyone has their own spaces. Hotel is brilliantly situated- supermarket next door - 10 min walk to Strip if you want but plenty on the doorstep - lovely walk into old town also. We travelled in December so it will be a different resort in summertime but it was ideally located right next to beach as well.

JW

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!

Clovelly95

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.

Kim Randall

Just returned home after a 4 night stay, we had a brilliant time. I do agree with some reviews, the rooms are dated however they are spotless and clean, the hotel always had a clean smell to it. For a 3 star we couldn't believe how the food was as good as some 4 stars we have stayed in. There was so much selection and we enjoyed every meal. All the staff are really really friendly and could not do enough for us, this certainly made our break even more special. I would highly recommend this hotel and staying all in. But if you are a snob or expect more for what u have paid don't bother. The hotel is value for money and I can't wait to return 🙌 🤗

Nikki Richardson

Please avoid, the hotel rooms do not look like those on the website, they are extremely dated as is the bathroom, water was coming out a browny colour from the shower over the bath. The rooms don’t have double glazing and can be noisy. Pool area is nice not so much the pool bar. Very basic food at lunch time in this bar, but you can go up to the restaurant. Entertainment in the evening was very poor. Would not use this hotel or others ones within the group.

Puja Patel

If your planning to stay at this resort then you much know to only book bed and breakfast and don’t bother to book all included….. The all inclusive package only offers local drinks (limited per person) Also if your an vegan or vegetarian then be sure that nothing nice in the restaurant for you. The chef doesn’t care and will not make anything special for you, in fact they offered Bread, Plan Rice, Pasta and Salad that’s it….. basically food with no taste…. However if your non veg, then great food options repeatedly for lunch and dinner. For breakfast you will get hot English breakfast and continental breakfast which is very nice. Apart from all that the hotel is vintage needs updating but kept clean which in my view is okay to what your paying for. You will find rude staff especially in the evening, if anything is wrong with your room then don’t worry it would never get fix during your stay ( Room 109 A block ) • Lightbulb not working - reception don’t care • Toilet / bathroom door not closing - no carpenter in the hotel by reception • Door fob key keeps on disconnecting communication with the key and door which means you have to go to the reception and wait for an engineer to come and fix the issue, The whole process will take at least half an hour of your time…. • Telephone in room, but no information to how it can be used • Internet black spots that comes and goes but it’s okay. I would come again however my wife would not why, I’m non veg and it’s a great location with easy access to the beach and a lot to do nearby. For my wife, well she is an vegetarian that don’t eat onion and garlic, so for her the restaurant doesn’t cater for vegan people and from the chef it’s a full stop that nothing can be done. We had full packages and only had breakfast and dinner for me with takeaway from the high street restaurant for vegetarian options and wasn’t allowed to eat in the restaurant with the outside food.

shereena murray

Would not recommend this hotel avoid at all cost, upon arrival the older male staff at reception was very hostile and rude, the all inclusive option was very poor, the food was nasty, dry and not cooked properly. the soft drinks tasted like it had bleach in them and the alcohol drinks was limited with all inclusive wristband you had to pay for alcohol if you wanted any other one. The rooms was not up to standard in looks wise had a lot of mosquitoes flying around, towels were dirty, however the cleaning staff was really nice. This hotel should not be rated a 4* at all I had really high standards for this hotel.

Ian Richardson

This hotel is in an absolutely amazing location on its own headland with seacliffs and beaches on three sides. It’s a three star hotel and I would suggest it’s in need of refurbishment but it is clean. The food is very good and other than a few staff who struggled to smile(who knows what personal agony they were in) the staff were very nice. I would not recommend it for people with disabilities but for a reasonably priced comfortable stay in a great location. I would absolutely recommend it. I would also recommend either a car due to its location or be prepared to use Uber there is a shuttle bus but whilst we were there it was at 10 am 12 lunchtime and 4 pm that needs to be one at 2 pm as well which apparently there is during summer this bus takes you into the old town of Albufeira. Overall, I recommend this hotel.

Kerys Williams

I'm a travel agent and travel a lot with my job. Other reviews are correct it's more of a basic 3*, rather than a 4*. I believe the rating is from the old rating, where the ratings were based on what they offer a customer, which have now changed since TripAdvisor. Back in the day, you can see that this was a really good hotel. But very little has been done to it since, with its up keep and moderation. ✈️If you like your holidays based on staying at your hotel on an all inclusive. I don't think this is the hotel for you. The facilities are nothing compared to modern day 4* all inclusive hotels, ✈️If you are someone who just uses the hotel as a base. This is great, as the kitchen is basic but enough for what you need and a large supermarket and fast food options just a short walk away. Beach and old town Albufeira is about a 10minute walk down hill. TIP) For about six Euros all day use, there is the tourist train. Pick up a short walk away and it's good for getting around. Takes you to the beach area and another 4 points. Great if you are trying to save time if on a short trip.

becky louise

We are here now and have 4 nights in total at this hotel. Honestly it’s not as bad as some of the reviews make it out to be, you get what you pay for it’s a cheap getaway. It definitely isn’t a 4 star 3 star at most. Rooms are dated and worn but still very good to stay in. Location is great everything is within walking distance from the hotel. Staff were lovely when checking us in. Would I stay again for another cheap getaway? Yes.

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.

Shimon Abramovich

NASTY NASTY NASTY! MOUSE POOP AND COCKROACHES! DO NOT STAY HERE! I booked this hotel on booking.com and have never been catfishes this hard. The photos make this place out to be luxurious. Man were the photos wrong. It was dirty and gross inside the lobby, smelled like cigarette smoke and mold as soon as you walked in, the hallways also had the same smell, many of the features were broken and left unrepairared. The room is where it got real nasty, MOUSE POOP on the bathroom countertop, and dead cockrouches in the corners of the bathroom left for the guests to look at I guess, the beds have staining and signs of bed bugs. I immediately grabbed my stuff and asked to check out, the hotel has refused to refund me! DO NOT STAY HERE. Worst customer service I have ever recieved in my life. I advised all of my friends and family coming to Portugal to stay away from this hotel.

Ellie B

Rooms are very basic but the hotel is large with a lot in it. The gym is €8 per use which is pretty annoying although the women stated it’s an outside company, I would expect a hotel that is 4 stars to offer a gym included in the price. The tattoo studio offers photos with no price and no one around to speak to. The indoor pool is brilliant and great for winter. The outdoor pool was quiet but it was not warm weather. Had Santa’s grotto for the children & music playing in the bar area. The room had everything we needed for a 3 night stay with a store in the hotel which was good. I assume in summer this hotel could be great even more than the 3 star I am giving due to seeing a lot of stuff for children and a pool bar that is closed for the season. We did not pay a lot of money to come here so I would say it’s great value.

Becky Wall

We have just returned from here yesterday. Check in was smooth and the reception team were really helpful. I requested our rooms be near to everything. As my mum and daughter both have disabilities. We were in b block which was a perfect location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay but it was no means perfect. The rooms were damp and our beds felt wet every night. But that may have been down to the rain we had most of the week, so we didn't complain as it wasn't the end of the world. Food was actually quite good! Was cold a lot of the time even if we were first in. And there's not a massive choice for vegetarians. But we all ate well and found something we liked every day. (Which is unusual for us) the bar staff were friendly and helpful Sometimes too friendly with our adult (late teen) girls. One in particular was asking for phone numbers daily! We thought the teens may have been bored as they were by far the youngest adults in the hotel, but the entertainment team were fabulous and they joined in with everything! Richards Jessie and vanya in particular were brilliant and they are real assets to the hotel. They do an amazing job at keeping everyone of all ages happy and occupied. We wouldn't stay here again as we like trying new places but I would definitely recommend it. In my opinion it's a good 3 star hotel.

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.

Stu White

Travelled for a week all inclusive for some winter sun. Hotel was around 35% capacity, which suited me perfectly. Great food for all 3 meals and the bar staff incredibly helpful and friendly. If you want to get away and want sun, peace and quiet, this is a great spot. Has a direct path to the beach, which goes for miles.

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.

Kriti Chidambaram

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.
