Caliços Hotel Guide - Hotels with Pool in Caliços, Albufeira

"The hotel is beautifully clean and looks stunning, but it really lacks atmosphere. It definitely caters more to an older clientele. I stayed here with my 5-year-old son, and honestly, there just wasn’t anything for us to do as a family. The main pool isn’t heated, and although I was told the children’s pool was, it was absolutely freezing. The only heated pool is the adults-only one (18+), which feels really limiting when you’re travelling with a child. There’s no proper kids’ club either, just a small room with a few toys, which isn’t quite what you’d expect. The rooms don’t come with irons, and I was told I couldn’t have one in the room. Instead, there’s a shared ironing room, but it’s on the complete opposite side of the hotel. Having to walk all that way with a child is really inconvenient—at the very least, there should be facilities on both sides. The information about beach access is also a bit misleading. The direct access is actually at their sister hotel, not this one. The steps down are very long and not suitable for elderly guests, those with disabilities, or families with young children. That said, Vanessa was incredibly helpful and took us over to the other hotel, and the beach itself is absolutely beautiful."

"A lovely, well-maintained hotel with a clean and inviting atmosphere. The staff are incredibly welcoming and always ready to help. The breakfast is outstanding, offering a wide range of delicious options."

"This was a nice stay but I don’t think up to 5* standard. The service was bad at most restaurants and the food beyond the breakfast buffet was over-priced and average. This may well be advertising but the pools are freezing in April, so just a warning! The hotel is super modern and has comfortable facilities, but it lacked the luxury touch for us."

"Great proximity to harbour and old town. Nice staff. Amazing breakfast! We had issue with the AC not cooling the room enough. "

"The room we stayed was clean and it has big bathroom. Breakfast was included. The hotel serves lunch and dinner, but at lunch time staff was short and slow."

"Clean however walls marked and scraped in places. Needs some attention. Generally clean and ok. Breakfast was just warm and every morning I was having to wipe down the chair / bench before sitting due to food crumbs and mess on them. Location of hotel is excellent. On day of checking in I reported the safe did not work, and it was not sorted and I mentioned this again on checkout. We had two rooms so we used the other room safe, but it’s still not good enough. "

"I was booked in for the hotel which was close to the beach. But apparently they had two hotels which i booked was a bit far away from the beach so i had to pay extra for the one close to beach which was a superior room. The bed was two single beds attached for a superior room. But the staff told me that he will get it sorted the next day. But they didn’t. So basically as couple we had sleep in different cots. Also the air conditioning was the worse. It was very warm in the room even after bringing the air conditioning to low and the sound from the fan was horrible. I couldn’t get a proper sleep. The breakfast, the view and the soundproofed rooms were fantastic. "

"Room was clean and tidy nice view over the beach "

"Was literally the most beautiful place we’ve ever stayed! So many things to do right at the resort! I would go back every single time. Love love love it there! The restaurants were so nice to have available, we were sad the pizzeria was closed the whole time we stayed but the snack bar was excellent! "
