Conrad Algarve

The hotel has recently been refurbished - it is beautiful. The pool areas are gorgeous, as are the restaurants and the Nest bar. The food and drinks are absolutely delicious. Breakfast at the Olivera restaurant is a real treat and sitting at the pool bar watching the sunset over the main pool is very special.

There are many things the Conrad has got right in its reopening but some things still need improvement. The number one issue for guest experience at the moment is the scarcity of sunbeds. For some reason the management have decided that they are in a position to charge €350 for cabanas that come with sunbeds at the bottom pool and elsewhere. This creates a situation where guests are struggling to find a sunbed and half the beds are empty because guests will not pay for sunbeds at a 5* resort. This is a hotel in the Algarve not a beach club in Ibiza. Other things that could be better - there are plenty of staff around the main pool but no one ever asks if you’d like a drink which seems like a missed opportunity in terms of revenue for the hotel. There are also odd examples of trying to “nickel and dime” guests such as giving one carton of free water by the pool but charging for more than than and charging €9 for a matcha latte at breakfast. Small things but they add up.

Facilities are excellent, large room size & balcony, easy location and improved renovated breakfast bistro/service.

Free valet parking, but desk abandoned most time. Underground carpark has out of service lift. Lack signage. Housekeeping. 5 of 6 days our room wasnt serviced until the evening, altho room free. V disappointing (key extra versus self catering). When serviced it was however excellent. Renovations layout, requiring you walk through a bar to get to get to rooms. Very disjointed.

Very helpful staff

Very poor room allocation with workmen opposite and on north side of the hotel. Had to upgrade to a suite.

Location

Service very average food served cold it’s a building site far from a five star facility at the moment

Its in a reasonable location

Terrible service definitely not a five star service would consider staying there again. Poor maintenance and in a construction site

Today 6th June 2026 is our final day at the Conrad in Quinta. This has been the best week. We have had a very relaxing break and as usual the hotel was immaculate, the rooms/restaurants are fantastic and the pool is brilliant. What makes this hotel is the staff. From Breakfast, to a day at the pool, to sitting around the bar for sundown the staff cannot do enough to help and make sure you have everything you need. My wife and I love this hotel and its people. We have been coming here since 2019 and only Covid prevented us from coming every year. As this break comes to an end we can’t wait for the next time we arrive.
