Olhos de Água Hotel Guide - Beach Hotels in Olhos de Água, Albufeira

"Staff were pleasant and welcoming. We checked in quickly and were given earlier access to our room. We have stayed there before in a Marina view room, floor 3, which was lovely. This time I made the mistake of booking a city view room. We were on floor 1, facing the street. The traffic noise was awful and fairly constant. We couldn’t have the window open because of the noise and the hotel policy of no air conditioning in winter months meant it was too warm to sleep well. The room itself was fine. Comfortable bed. Very clean. Good shower room. Breakfast was included and was very good. Plenty of choice. Just avoid city view rooms! "

"The location is great - very central in downtown Faro with lots of cafés and restaurants close by. Hotel is clean and rooms are OK. No pool as it was being repaired. The upstairs terrace bar/restaurant has a fabulous view of Faro and the sunset. Definitely worth checking out. There is no free airport shuttle although they do offer a service (quite expense though). We took an Uber to the airport which was quick, reliable and inexpensive. We were supposed to have a free bottle of wine upon arrival but it was never offered to us."

"This hotel is 150%!!! Its location couldn’t be better, the buffet breakfast is fabulous, free parking in a safe garage, and cleanliness second to none. You walk right out onto the beautiful beach which you can walk for 5km to the other end amongst stellar cliffs. The breakfast has absolutely everything you could want. The staff go above and beyond to make your stay spectacular, they literally think of everything, right down to shower and change room if you decide to hang out on the beach after checking out. We would not even consider staying anywhere else in the Algarve❤️"

"Location near the beach, along the main strip in Praia da Rocha with downtown locations within walking distance. Local transit and Uber/Taxis readily available. All staff with whom we interacted were calm, friendly and helpful. Luggage storage prior to our room being available was offered and managed very well. Front desk staff also helped to set up a cruise for us - perfectly aligned with what we were looking for, they took care of all the arrangements including pre-payment and set up a shuttle from the hotel to the tour launch location and return to the hotel afterwards - super simple! The room was clean, everything worked including the air conditioner. Breakfast spread was enormous with a wide range of options, for us included oatmeal, fruit, nuts, seeds, juices, and bottomless expresso machine coffee. The pool water was warm and refreshing. "

"Very friendly staffs, especially at the bar. I went right before 10pm when the kitchen was closed that night. The bartender offered a sandwich and it was great! Everything was great at the property but the noise level was unavoidable. There's no sound proof and you can hear from the hall way, next door and from upper room. "

"It was amazing and I will definitely be returning "

"Great property and clean rooms, very close to the beach (on the beach.) Excellent staff and service (although amenities were closed to off season.) "

"Gorgeous setting. Close to town but far enough away to be serene. Super apartment style, amazing grounds and amenities. Better than a hotel for sure. "

"It was first time to be in Portugal but the experience was unforgettable moments in life . The food was good and the welcoming experience was amazing. Will be back soon with our children and also the area was very quite which will be ideal for taking a break from England. "
