Reasonable location - near drop off point on the Coach link (no;56) to faro airport, excellent booking in experience and great service from all attendant staff.

One of the best Algarve resorts, Albufeira has wonderful beaches, turquoise waters and the dramatic, rocky coastline that makes this part of Portugal so special.
Naturally, life here is all about sun, sand and sea. The most popular Albufeira beach is Fisherman’s Beach and you can still see locals bringing in the fishing boats every morning - if you’re up early enough, that is. Tunnel Beach is accessed through an opening in the cliff, and both offer a variety of watersports.
Further up the coast is Albufeira Marina, from where sightseeing boat trips depart, while east of the town is the 9-hole Balaia golf course. On the way here, you pass Arias de Sao João, home to The Strip where the best bars and clubs are found, many staying open until the early hours.
The Old Town of Albufeira is more peaceful, and its cobbled streets house Moorish buildings and some great restaurants serving fresh fish. If you fancy a day trip from Albufeira, the 12th-century remains of Moorish Almoáda Castle in Paderne can be visited for free.
The town is around 45 minutes’ drive from Faro Airport and there is a fantastic range of beach resorts, small B&Bs and Albufeira apartments on Booking.com.

Fabulous location for a family or a couple break.
Fabulous location for a family or a couple break.
The area can be challenging because of the many hills and steps when getting around. There are lots of really nice places to eat out just of the many square in old town.
The beach has lovely golden sand. The nearby caves can be experienced by daily boat tours.
Some of the town gets crowded with hen/ stag/ groups.

The beaches are great, some with rocks but most with great sands and views. The catamaran trips and offroad safari are worth it, the seafood and most of every street food is always fresh and tastes great.

Albufeira is a great place to visit as its spread out and has a few different areas to go and see: The old town, strip, marina etc all with bars, restaurants and something going on. On this visit the old town was quite lively with lots of stag and hen doo's which was good to watch! Still a friendly atmosphere down there albeit a bit lively!
Th apartment was in immaculate condition and it was very well equipped. Nice extra touches like the smart tv, a lot of storage space and had a great outdoor living area. There is easy access to the pool from the balcony. The apartment is in a great location and is a five minute walk from the old town so no need for any taxis. Very quiet at night considering how close you are to the old town. One of the best places to stay in Albufeira by far and is great value for everything included. Would definitely recommend!
The property itself was a great size for a family, the location is a little out of the way, although it's an easy walk to the Marina and into Albufeira old town itself if you are capable. The pool area was spacious and always plenty of sunbeds available. There is a snack bar/restaurant on site which serves really good food of reasonable price. The staff at the mini market are lovely, there isn't much choice but there are essentials (ice cream is cheaper in the mini market rather than the pool bar)
Great hotel,uber from faro Airport costs €27 euro,hour walk into albufeira old town, Uber €8 euro .Beside great beaches dotted along coast,great restaurants beside hotel in walking distance, shops and bus stop beside hotel .staff lovely and friendly,room lovely and comfortable and clean, had a balcony and walk in shower.breakfast amazing for a continental, also offer eggs, bacon mushrooms, tomatoes and cakes and crossiants, plenty to choose from huge selection.
The Apartment was very clean and spacious for a family of 3. We enjoyed our stay and the location is central to Old Town Albufeira which made it very convenient for food and shopping options. It's walking distance to the beach which is nice. The Apartment had a few things that you can use for the beach, such as umbrellas, paddle board and a ball. The owner was also easy to get a hold of and very friendly and helpful when I needed anything or had any questions.
We loved the little house with the big balcony!! Awesome view from the balcony. The property was right on the cliffs overlooking the ocean with a wonderful restaurant right next door! The beds were very comfortable and we liked having a washer with drying racks outside. It was close to many restaurants and a three minute walk to the beach. I would definitely stay again if we return to Albufeira Portugal!!
Ideal location, on the beachfront and only a 5 minute walk into the heart of old town Albufeira. Extremely welcoming hosts that remained fully available via WhatsApp day and night. Gorgeous apartment with very comfortable rooms and bedding. The rooftop terrace was a beautiful perk! Supplying a cot was also no problem it was brought to use within minutes of our arrival. Thank you for accommodating us ❤️
I loved the property in the middle of the centre (Old Town). Lots of restaurants, shops, nightlife, everything you need when in Albufeira. The property is also exactly like the pictures. Additionally, there was a very friendly host, we got welcome bottle of wine and could ask her for anything we needed. We missed our flight and she was very kind and helped us through the problems we faced.
Beautiful hotel, prime location, food was absolutely fantastic, lots of choices, pool was lovely right on the beach , staff were very friendly , 5 mins walk to the bars on the strip, mega busy after ten , walk few mins along the beach to beautiful old town of 6 euros in taxi , so much to do an see in the old town ,fisherman’s beach is my favourite place .
Nice hotel. I guess it was my fault for booking the noisiest place to stay in Portugal. Albuferia seems to be party central and does not shut town at night. So no sleep for a few nights. It was not the hotels fault.
Very nice front desk staff.
In center of old town.Close to all old town has to offer. Restaurants and bars.
Firstly the location and the view from the taras is amazing. Old town and beach just front of you. There was everything we needed in the apartment. And considering all places that we stayed in Algarve this apartment was best and cheapest. Thats why we thought possibly some surprises waiting for us but nothing negative.
Great hotel but located in an overcrowded town that has all but completely lost its charm due to overdevelopment. If you like the idea of staying in a theme park, you might like Albuferia. Otherwise seek the more traditional areas of Portugal, such as the Gold Coast or North of Lisbon.
Staff were great, Hotel and rooms were very clean, food was also great, would definetely stay again and at other Vile Gale hotels, Location is also really good, as the tourist train stops directly outside of the hotel so you can get an easy ride to the strip or old town
Perfect location right in front of the beach and 15mins walk from Albufeira old town. staff were really nice, the apartments are very spacious and well equipped. Beautiful views of the sea and the hotel’s pool.
Walking distance from old town Albufeira, which was our favorite area. Per centrally located so it was not a terribly far drive from anywhere. Very affordable. We did not use the pool, but it was nice.
Guilherme was a great host.
Really nice decor,nice breakfast, nice terrace and great location just in Albufeira old town center
Also if you need a Taxi the hotel provides the contact
The entrance and foyer of the hotel was nice and quaint but that’s about it.
The location is great because of how close it is to the old town, restaurants and beach.
