The Westin Salgados Beach Resort, Algarve

Pool was green and not safe to swim in. No signs placed from staff to prevent or warn patrons and their kids from going in. Rooms were very clean but only cold water for my family's showers during half my stay with no explanation. This should not be the standard when paying top dollar for a 3 bedroom suite at a "5 star" resort.

Nice view and walkable to beach.

O hotel é muito bom, novo, com um café da manhã excelente, área fitness excelente. As piscinas são muito boas, embora em algumas horas do dia a água é fria, então poderiam ser climatizadas. O serviço ainda precisa melhorar nos bares, mas como o hotel abriu a pouco, faz parte. Também seria interessante incluir um serviço de praia, com guarda-sóis. O acesso à praia é fácil, uns 7min de caminhada, a praia é bonita. Ao lado do hotel tem uma reserva com lagoa e um campo de golfe, onde se pode fazer uma boa corrida ou passeio. A estrutura para crianças também precisa melhorar, e o kids Club é cobrado à parte. O que poderia ser incluído. A área fitness é sensacional. Muito boa. Os restaurantes do hotel são bons com preços na média elevada da região. Mas se tiver carro, pode ir fazer refeições na região que tem ótimas opções. O quarto é amplo e espaçoso, limpo diariamente. O banheiro é pequeno e a divisoria do quarto para a sala dá pouca privacidade, mas fora isso, estava muito bom. Estacionamento normalmente é na rua, encontramos vagas todos os dias, mas se precisar tem interno com custo à parte. Em suma é uma ótima opção que atendendo ao que mencionei pode se tornar excelente.

Great location

The property was clean, and the staff was genuinely friendly and accommodating, which we appreciated. However, I was disappointed to learn that the hotel is not actually located on the beach — there’s a bridge you have to walk across to reach it. Additionally, it’s quite a distance from the Old Town of Albufeira, which made exploring the area less convenient. The dining options on-site were very limited, and what was available was surprisingly expensive given the mediocre quality of the food. As for entertainment, the resort offered very little — just two singers, one on Friday and another on Saturday night. The Friday performance was okay, but Saturday’s was honestly hard to sit through. Had I known the property wasn’t truly beachfront and lacked amenities and entertainment, I likely would have chosen a different location. It’s a decent stay if you’re looking for something quiet and minimal, but not ideal if you’re expecting a full resort experience.

Loved it as a wellness retreat. Perfect to relax and refresh.

Pool service terrible, not enough staff, and the staff that are there have communication issues.

Todas las instalaciones perfectas

The hotel was very nice, the room was big and very comfortable. The pool area was great with easy access and plenty of options to get relax and enjoy it

This hotel has just reopened as the Westin about a month ago so they’re going through a bit of growing pains as they establish new operations. For example- the kids club was open but there’s no AC so it gets quite hot and they don’t have proper sign in papers yet. I messaged several times ahead of arrival (and upon booking) that we need a crib but they didn’t read the messages and we had to wait a bit after checking in for a crib to be delivered. It’ll be great later this summer but for now expect a bit of growing pains and patience with a very kind staff.
