This resort is in a beautiful setting... well located close to the beach, with well maintained grounds.
The staff here were all very helpful. The couple of issues we had were easily resolved. (Hi Osvaldo!)
Rooms here are clean and spacious, but lacking a kettle to make tea. The bottles of water in the room were not replaced when the room was cleaned either.
The food choices were very good, with a varied menu and choice of restaurants on site. Dinner time could be a bit chaotic with the queues... or some people not queuing, as the case may be! The food was of a good standard though.
The entertainment was top notch too... very lively!
Overall, this is an excellent place to stay for people who want something different from a bog-standard hotel.

Stayed here for a short holiday with family of 4. Hotel has potential to easily get 5 stars and 5 star review but fails due to minor issues. Pros extra ala restaurants, service by some very nice staff , complex is well maintained, great walks and beach just a couple minutes away , good drinks and food. They also put out some strawberries and champagne for our anniversary which was nice. Cons the hotel seems to have this concept that people are going to nick everything so towels are a €10 deposit per beach towel, kettle €20, tennis rackets €10, and so on. The rooms are bare with everything nailed down and no extras no slippers , robes , toothbrush buds nothing.when u arrive no one will help u with your luggage. Our holiday wasn't cheap but tbh it was last minute so we may have paid over to odds but I dont go on holiday to take stuff. Overall the resort is nice alot of the staff are very nice and as always a couple bad ones. The animation team were the best I've ever seen. Made lots of effort with kids and adults were excellent.

We have been to this place for the last two years, it is a fantastic place to be. Great people work there and nothing is too much trouble. The staff really looked after us, as it was our anniversary when we visited this year. Thank you so much.
The swimming pools are amazing and are so clean. The staff that do things with the kids are second to none.
Let’s talk about the food we found this to be so good and always fresh. You are a short walk from the beach, which is amazing by the way.
If you are thinking about going to this Resort don’t hesitate book it and you will not regret it.

Ver clean, spacious, great staff, food is good fish, chicken, pork and lamb dishes, plenty of salads and pasters, fruit, cake and desert, lots of activities and entertainment. Rooms are extremely comfortable and quiet at night as they are in their own blocks. Low lit lantern paths with gardens good signage leading you back to your room should you not wish to walk there are golf buggies to assist you run by the hotel. Hotel has buses for only 2 euros return to Alberfeuira and Vilamoura on alternate days. Picking you up and dropping you at the same locations save you any stress. A beautiful hotel highly recommend 🤩♥️

Our stay at AP Adriana Beach and Resort was one of the most disappointing holiday experiences we’ve ever had. From the very beginning, everything went downhill.
Check-in Disaster
We had to wait nearly three hours after arriving before being given a room. No apology, no sense of urgency – just a long, frustrating wait.
Staff Attitude
Most of the staff were rude, dismissive, and acted as if guests were an inconvenience. At the bar, expect 20-minute queues just to get a drink, only to be told “we don’t have this” or “we don’t have that.” When you finally get served, the drinks come in filthy glasses like the ones in my photos – completely unacceptable for any resort, let alone one claiming four stars.
Housekeeping (or Lack Of)
The cleaning staff spent more time sitting on the stairs playing on their phones than actually cleaning. We had to ask multiple times to get our room serviced, and when they did, all they did was make the bed and change towels – nothing else. To make matters worse, right outside our door there was a clump of hair and dirt on the floor from the moment we checked in, and it remained there for the entire stay. Nobody bothered to clean it.
Dining Experience
The restaurant and bar are a complete let-down:
Tables are wobbly and unstable.
No salt or pepper on the tables, and if you dare to ask for some, staff look at you like you’ve asked for something impossible.
Food is painfully repetitive, the same things day after day with no effort at variety.
Coffee machines are constantly out of order, so forget about having a proper coffee in the morning.
Overall Standard
This resort doesn’t even meet the standards of a 3-star hotel, never mind the 4-star rating it advertises. Dirty, unprofessional, repetitive food, broken facilities, and staff who clearly don’t care about guests – that sums up the experience.
Conclusion
If you’re considering booking AP Adriana Beach and Resort, don’t waste your money. It’s nowhere near a proper holiday standard and feels more like a budget hostel with a fancy name. Portugal has many beautiful resorts – sadly, this is not one of them.
