Guest Reviews
- Dan (2/5): - The place is disgusting, infested with cockroaches (big ones!) and mostly falling apart, not to mention the beds that hurt to sleep on and the pillows seemingly filled with baked beans. How it has 4 stars is crazy, it wouldn't get 1 star if a UK inspector visited it today. Didn't last the full stay, checked out early, and the owners rudely told us where to shove our refund request
- Mark (6/5): - This is no longer a 4* property. The rooms are tired and in need of renovation. The cleanliness is fine for the rooms and what I generally seen around the rest of the complex. We used this complex for a stag do. Stag do’s & Hen parties seem to be the main stay of the present business. I found the staff to be friendly & helpful. The entertainment was ok but not necessarily to my taste. I didn’t eat in the complex so I can’t comment about the restaurant.
- Robert (10/5): - Good location
- Linda (10/5): - We came for the Northern Soul event for the first time. We enjoyed our stay, it was very relaxing and good value for money. The position of the hotel was great with an easy walk to the old town. Staff were excellent all round. Loved our room overlooking the avenue with the sun streaming in. Happy days. Thankyou we will be back .
- Declan (4/5): - Very disappointed with the room.
- Gurprit (8/5): - Close to the beach
- Thomas (8/5): - As it was off season not all facilities were active. Enjoyable stay an great location
- Sedley (6/5): - A large complex. Our studio was adequate. The wifi was very intermittent and only really worked in the bathroom. The cable channels offered very little in english and pictures broke up regularly. Staff did attend quickly to any requests. This was a budget holiday so I guess you get what you pay for and did represent decent value for money
- Charles (2/5): - It has good location and a nice outdoor pool
- Eimear (8/5): - The property is well located (10 min walk from new town, 15 from old town) and the staff were friendly however it is in serious need of renovations. While it was practically ok, the rooms and corridors were very dull and basic. Good for a family holiday
- rajiharan (10/5): - Convenient and close to everything.
- David (8/5): - Lovely staff great pool both indoor and outdoor rooms spotlessly clean however a few rooms need an update
- Maria (8/5): - I liked the reception and bar service. The cleaning was not so good as the last time I stayed in Paraiso . However Paraiso us my favourite ,when I want holiday in Albufeira .
- Barry (10/5): - Situated between the new town and old town whuch were approx 1km away. Facilities onsite were excellent.
- Gary (8/5): - Property could be a more updated Very clean
- david (10/5): great location - the location was great, 20 minutes walk into the old town or twenty minute walk down to the strip, shopping nearby very good
- Olivia3020 (2/5): Dirty would not recommend - Arrived very late at night and our room was very unclean (pubic hairs in bathroom, dirty bedding sheets and a unclean kitchen) also had a strong smell of cigar smoke, and loud music from the bar below this was at 1am. After complaining to the reception we were told there was no manager on until the morning so eventually the following day got moved. Next room was slightly better but not the cleanest room I've stayed in. Also my partner had an accident on the baloncy falling through the plastic balcony chair hurting his back and the only apology we got was a fruit basket. Wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone. Stay away!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Perfect location from shops & beach - All staff friendly & welcoming. Peaceful place with all surroundings close by
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Overall hotel is good value. only slight negatives were the cleanliness of rooms, seemed as if cleaner only gave it a very quick once over, and the pool area had some very drunk people towards the end of the day and these people were not spoken to or controlled by any staff.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice hotel near to the old town and strip - Hotel is very good but the rooms need updating and the evening entertainment could be improved
- Verified traveler (4/5): Very well worn, family hotel - In need of desperate refurbishment & lots of maintenance, pool VERY cold not heated, NOT enough sun beds and you have to pay for lounger cushions!!!! Remember to get up early and reserve your sunbed , as no rules apply , they leave from 6.30am onwards , how crazy !!!
- Verified traveler (6/5): - No internet or Wifi in rooms in this time & age, are you kidding me?
- Verified traveler (6/5): Nice hotel, rubbish beds - Beds extremely uncomfortable and the hotel reception refused to do anything about it
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great hotel , not a great town, vilamoura next tim - It's a young persons town, lots of load drunks around town , maybe it was due to football euro
- Verified traveler (8/5): RAFC Vets on tour - 22 Army Veterans on a golfing holiday/reunion. Ages between 40 and 67. Great time had by all.
- Toddy (8/5): Excellent location, great value for money - We went to Albufeira for a stag weekend. Hotel was in an excellent location. The hotel itself looked smart and clean throughout. There was always staff on hand to help you out. I think we booked one of the cheaper rooms as the beds were pretty hard but it was a stag weekend after all so that's no great shakes. Only a couple of points: - why have a diving board and not be allowed to use it? - as a recommendation maybe have waiter service pool side Would definitely stay there again though without a shadow of doubt! Excellent value for money!
- B family (10/5): Family Holiday - We returned to this hotel again for the second year running. We find the hotel very comfortable and clean. Rooms are cleaned every day and bedding and towels changed and are very spacious. We used the self catering kitchen in our room and found a great range of food at the local supermarket.The facilities are just what we need and the staff are so friendly and helpful and will sort out any problems you may have.The hotel was busier this year than when we stayed there at this time last year but the standard was still very good. We booked trips through the hotel and enjoyed them. The hotel is in a great position, inbetween the old and new towns, there are many local shops and eating places and of course the supermarket. The hotel has a courtesy bus to the old town several times a day, the road train stops just near the hotel and the hop on and hop off bus, stops at the hotel, we used all of these methods of transport on several occasions during our stay. The only negative thing i could say about this hotel is the pool is very cold, but after a while you do get used to it, and that was the only negative comment i had last year as well, but it doesnt stop us going back. We are hoping to go back again next year for the third time.
- Kurkur (10/5): Beautiful Hotel with wonderful staff - The staff are very helpful and fast to react, the food is very tasty, different activities to join in and very close to the beach. I didn't expect two single beds and kitchen that gave me opportunity to cook the food love to eat.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Our experience - We spent a very pleasant 2 weeks and had nothing but friendliness from the front-of-house Staff, all of whom went out of their way to make our stay brilliant. Being in the Winter/Spring and "out of season", the Hotel was quieter than in the "Season", but that suited us perfectly. We had a view over the (empty) Swimming pool, and made use of the Minigolf which caused an immense amount of laughter, and no little frustration when my wife "fluked" the occasional hole-in-one! The room was more than adequate for our needs, and the beds were comfortable, but not luxurious. The food was reasonable, our being on Half Board, with the Breakfast being totally adequate, and the Dinner being reasonable, both in variety and quality, but I had to remark to the Assistant Manager the the bay-Maries were not always hot enough to keep the food as hot as they should be. This was our ONLY concern, and there were improvements made. I do NOT recommend the Travel Shop nearest to the Hotel, as the Staff told lies when a comment was made about a Historical Tour that was very poor, and the lies were followed by further unpleasantness. The SHACK at the top of the Strip was excellent, however. We intend to return to Portugal again in the near future, but would appreciate a golf Course that was more reasonable in price than the ones in Villeneuva! £80.00 is too much, being out of season as it was.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Needs updating - Hotel rooms very dated. Bearable only because of low price paid.
- Dawn (6/5): Walking distance - The hotel was generally good but desk staff were very inexperienced and unable or unwilling to follow through for guests requests. It might be alright if you are from Spain but not too helpful for non speaking Spanish guests. Room was good except that the only chair to sit upon was a hard backed kitchen chair. Not very relaxing for extended stays. It was a good location for accessibility to restaurants, bars, etc. No beach access but great pool area.
- Verified traveler (8/5): enjoyable stay - enjoyable studio style room close to everything you need
- Verified traveler (6/5): Touristy hotel with pools etc - I stayed for one night in Oct 2015 on a 4 day trip through Portugal starting in Albufeira. Being autumn and non tourist season the hotel room was very cheap. I'm not sure how much more it costs during summer but its an older dated hotel and rating accordingly. OK I guess for a few days in the warm summer sun.
- sandra (6/5): Lovely hotel - Last minute 6 day break for the family. Lovely hotel slap bang in the middle of both the new/old town.kids club was great, especially Miguel who was fantastic!
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Hotel showing its age and plenty of wear and tear. Over run with large, very noisy groups. Has really changed over the years. Staff still helpful and friendly
- Hlin,grandma (6/5): Good choice when travelling with children - The Paraiso is a big hotel so be prepared for a lot of walking to and from the room. The pool area and the outdoor pool are excellent ( this time of the year "October" it was not crowded which was great. The hotel is getting old and serious maintenance needed if they are going to keep the 4 * - but no complains from our side as we certainly did not pay 4* price for the stay. The staff is not very knowledgeable and too few at check in and check out times - "not my area " seems to be a standard phrase. Signes could be better as there are several elevator ares for different floors. More up to date snack restaurants / restaurants - smaller with a better priced choises is needed especially for the children. Selling melted and re frosted icecream at the pool bar is not an option. Overall we loved the activities for the children.
- Verified traveler (2/5): Terrible Hotel - I wouldn't recommend this hotel to my worst enemy. Cockroaches in the rooms & hallways. Very antiquated and outdated 4* I don't think so.
- sheryl (10/5): Hotel has everything - Brill hotel easy check in rooms kitted out with full kitchen towels changed daily if ur in the room the maid will come back pool good size loads of loungers u can rent towels or mattresses for them brilliant snack bar at pool holiday reps doing things for children all the time entertainment at night staff printed off my boarding passes hotel has little shops inside it u can walk to strip in new town and hotel does courtesy bus to and from old town which is good not sure if all inclusive is a bonus seen signs it was only till 11pm in the bar and cocktails u had to pay food not expensive we were here in end of September I'd say during high season this hotel would be very busy tho no wifi was a down side
- Verified traveler (6/5): Third visit but not as we remember it - Hotel has gone massively downhill. It's very tired and in need of an upgrade throughout. Was very disappointing.
- Verified traveler (2/5): Beware of this Hotel - If you are a non smoker do not stay at this hotel people were smoking on the balconies where ashtrays were provided on the balconies and corridors. The smell and taste of tobacco was so bad it was on the curtains and bed linen. We asked reception if it was a non smoking hotel she stated it was but everyone smokes. We had the room fumigated by the housekeeper The first room we were given was dreadful it was overlooking a concrete wall and the dome to the entrance of the hotel the wall was so close to the window you could only see the wall and dome. We obviously moved rooms and got the tobacco infested room. We asked the receptionist the rating of the hotel to our amazement she replied 4 Star which is a joke We informed her that the previous night we had stayed at the Porto Nova hotel in Tavira which was also 4 star a lovely hotel with a good breakfast included and was much cheaper. She stated it was owned by the same company and sister hotel to the Paraiso. Unbelievable. I am amazed Hotels.com even market this Hotel as 4 Star I think it rates as a 1 Star Hotel. On check out I asked to speak to the manager to which she replied HE's not here yet. I asked for the Complaints Book which caused a panic with phone calls being made. I put a full report in the complaints book never to return. This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed
- josie (8/5): In the middle of it all - The hotel is perfectly situated between old and new town if you want the restaurants and bars. The hotel itself is a little dated but makes up for it with the staff (especially the entertainment team). As a big hotel and part all inclusive part self catering there was confusion with rules of restaurants etc and if you don't like to queue occasionally to get a drink you might get frustrated but in general it did exactly wanted it was there to do. The only other issue was sometimes sunbed hoggers! Rule of thumb is you cant reserve however some do despite only appearing at the afternoon! Enjoy!
- helen (10/5): We will return - We had a ball . This was close to everything . The courtesy bus brings you to the old town beach but get a taxi to oura beach it much nicer
- Leanne (10/5): Great family hotel. - We had a self catering apartment which was clean and spacious and suited us perfectly. The hotel staff were very accommodating and when we had checked out and left a toy behind, they went to find it for us....and found it. We didn't eat at the hotel, only the snack bar but the menu looked inviting. The facilities for young children were great. Our 3.5 year old was kept entertained with the pool and mini club!
- Christine (6/5): Hotel was ok but not what I would call 4 star - Hotel needs updated. Balcony was full of cobwebs, obviously had not been cleaned before we got there or while we were there. Kids play park was also covered in cobwebs. Good that there was an indoor pool as we had a bad day, swim caps were supposed to be worn when in this pool but there was no one to enforce this so some people didn't. Location was good.
- Mr+Mrs B (8/5): - Had a lovely 8 night stay at the hotel in April.The staff were very friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment.The pool and area was very nice with plenty of sun beds. The only thing i would say is that the pool was freezing cool but that didnt stop us enjoying our swims. The hotel is inbetween the Old and New towns, both of which can be accessed by either the free bus from the hotel or the road train. Beautiful surroundings, and we went on a trip booked at the hotel and it was lovely and very well organised.
- Family w/2yrold (8/5): Great family hotel in the heart of Albufeira - Really enjoyed our little family retreat to Paraiso de Albufeira. Weather wasn't fab all days but you can still find plenty of activities to keep little ones occupied. Easy walking distance to both Old town and the Strip along with close transport links including local land train. Hotel perfect for family breaks.
- Mark (6/5): Nice hotel - room a little dated - in need of some - The location of the hotel is central to the Old town, Beach, Shops & the Strip. The hotel itself was had very few guests and I feel I could have been offered a room on the front of the hotel rather than one over-looking the car park. Staff were a little defensive when I asked and they could have been a flexible with a room swap considering the time of year and volume of guests
- Martin (8/5): Pleasant place to stay overall - Stayed 9 nights in room on sunny south side. Very pleasant and comfortable on the whole. Greatly disturbed on two occasions when football teams stayed overnight in rooms adjacent, or very close, to ours; extremely noisy with shouting and door-banging from late afternoon and throughout the night. Staff were sympathetic and tried to help as best they could, but little was eventually achieved.
- Sharon (10/5): Albuferia - Great location and hotel had a fab time
- Kate (6/5): Danger in the indoor pool!! - Never changed towels at all during our stay, so we had to use the same towels for the pool and shower for 4 days!
- Helen (10/5): helsbells - totally enjoyed this Hotel,it was very cold on a night time,How many Hotels would put 3 Blankets on each bed and the coverlet,and the first time I have known the air con to be nice and warm. Will definatly be back
- Jim (8/5): Nov 2014 - Stayed for 6 weeks over winter self catering. Good room on south side - north side is in permanent shade.
- Bertha (8/5): Great location and facilities for the price - Stayed 4 nights in 1 bed apartment and thoroughly enjoyed the hotel facilities and entertainment provided every night. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the location was good for both the old town and the strip. Will definitely stay here again.
- CurlySam (8/5): Good value hotel - Positives: clean, friendly staff, nice pool, good facilities, Negatives: heard lots of grumbles about the all inclusive offering (but we were self catering so can't comment), sun beds weren't comfortable, cleaners left our room unlocked once, was quite a hilly 20 minute walk to old town,
- Luv2travel (8/5): Great location - I really enjoyed my stay and my kids have had a fantastic time most water parks are about a 15min drive . Rooms could do with an update but other than that everything was great.
- Sheena (10/5): Great for families - Fantastic place to stay at with my young kids. Rooms were clean, free kids club, friendly staff, excellent location, 20 mins walk from beach, strip and old town. Free bus to old town/ beach. Resort has plenty to offer and variety. Clean towels, nice outdoor pool (not heated) and play area for kids, bring your swim cap for indoor pool use (heated). Only issue was bathroom had no lock on it (for safety??). We had a self catering apartment.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Well Happy - Good hotel at thre right price
- mick (10/5): Excellent hotel - great hotel, clean, spacious apartments, location was half way between strip and old town. would definitely recommend to anyone
- B. Leggett (10/5): Would recommend - This was a lovely hotel, location was perfect for visits to the Old Town and The Strip . Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful
- Verified traveler (2/5): Very disappointed! - Fighting on first night there. Was advised by reception to go and sort it out. Very noisy at night only one night where there was no noise! Very disappointed! We have been before and the standards were like a five star hotel. So sad that this place has deteriorated soooooooo much! Would not recommend it or visit it again
- Verified traveler (2/5): Horrendous - To start, the sofas on the beds are less than 2 cm thick, no room service, the pool has a serious stench as the sewers run close by and are exposed in some areas. The water is temperature is sub zero. They requested a deposit for the iron and rental of a lock for the rooms safe plus another deposit The television is miniature, the soundproofing terrible and the food no comment. (Restaurants close by so). Other than that, nice reception area and entrance rest of the hotel outdated. Gym, sauna etc. are not part of the hotel, a separate daily rate has to be paid. There is no ventilation and more stench. Overall you do get what you pay for. I did enjoy my stay as stayed outside the hotel most of the time.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - For what you pay, you do not get much for your money. Everything is nickled and dimed. Could not even get a towel for the swimming pool without paying a fee. I would not stay at this hotel again, nor would I recommend it to anyone. Also, hotels.com did not reserve the appropriate room sizes for my party of 14. When we arrived, the hotel could not accommodate us and 4 of our guests were forced to stay at an entirely different hotel. Needless to say, we were very disappointed.
- mohammad s.z (10/5): excelent location - Overall I am happy of the hotel and highly recommend it to my friend.thanks for the great hospitality.
- Dawn (6/5): This hotel was just ok - Staff were polite but not very friendly, rooms were clean & useable but not exceptional as the tv was ancient with limited chanels available. The indoor pool is very small and was extremely crowded as the weather was bad. The pool was also very cold as was the jacuzzi. The hotel did not offer a great deal for families re entertainment during the day and what was available cost a great deal. The spar which was separate was also exspensive at 50 euros a session. We did go at the end of March which was the beginning of the season so might be better later in the season.
- Robert spence (10/5): more than happy - Beautiful hotel.with everything we needed for self catering
- david (4/5): hotel looks good but rooms very dated - the hotel room was very dated,kitchen cuboards were very old with paint comming off. tv was 14" with very little channels to choose from
- tony (6/5): paraiso de albufira hotel - The front. reception and bar are lovely with the outside pools and complex great for everyone and would probably be a 4 star but the bedroom we stayed in was a 4 star in the 1980's, really dated with a poor shower. The fridge had to be unplugged at night for the noise off it. If you like a long lie you won't get one in this hotel as the cleaners are round 8.30am and are really noisy with moving furniture and hovering in the rooms around you! The bar is quite expensive aswell, we never tried the restaurant. The hotel is in a good location as its between the old town and the new town
- Bernie (8/5): - Easy to find (if you are driving)-w/in the main thourougfare. Hotel furnitures are somewhat outdated. Very helpful staff. wifi is not free and house computers in the lobby (fees).
- Anne (10/5): Superb Hotel - We have stayed in this Hotel many times & it is always very good service, friendliness etc is always 1st Rate
- Barbara (8/5): good location - Hotel was very clean and well situated. Fairly quiet and seems to be family friendly. Room was cleaned every day the apartment was well equipped and beds comfortable. Our apartment was a little too near the hotel bar. The staff all seemed friendly both in the hotel and its shops.
- Seamuski (6/5): NOT A FOUR STAR HOTEL - Good value for the price we paid but I wouldn't rate it as a 4 star holtel.
- leann (8/5): Lovely Hotel... shame about the miss-advertising - Hotel itself is lovely, perfect location directly between the old town and the new town (strip)! I stayed in a spaceous 1 bedroom appartment which had 2 full bathrooms (one of which was en-suite). The outdoor pool is beautiful and the indoor pool/jacuzzi was just as nice. The major let down for me was being ripped off when using the hotel telephone booth in reception. On the phone it says 20cents per unit - which i thought to be fairly reasonable... turned out a call for 13 mins to the UK cost me 34 euros which i obviously wasn't too impressed about. When I spoke to the reception desk they could not even tell me what 'a unit' is and how the call come to that amount. The reception staff wasn't very helpful and would not/could not explain why they did not advertise the prices of telephone calls accuratley so that holiday makers could make an informed decission. Furthermore, my sister who lives in Portugal and speaks fuent Portugese tried to speak with the Hotel Manager to explain what the problem was! She was told to 'think about starting a discussion with him as she needed permission to even visit me at the hotel'. Basically he wasn't threatening to deny her visiting me at the hotel if she continued to persue a conversation about the mis advertisement. All in all it gave me a sour taste in my mouth for the remainder of my stay. Everytime i walked passed reception the staff were smirking and whispering under there breath! Quiet unpleasent :/
- Olwen (4/5): Definitely not a 4* - Very disappointed in this hotel as we booked it as a 4* rating but would only give it a 3* at most, it is in need of refurbishing. The videos & photos of the hotel must have been taken a number of years ago. We were self catering which was just as well as comments from the "All inclusive" guests were not good, in fact people were eating out. The restaurant on the ground floor was situated right next to the indoor swimming pool & therefore smelled damp all the time. The outside pool was a good size but the grassed area around it was in a poor state. There were not enough parasols to go around & those that were there were very dilapadated & a mismatch. You also had to pay for the use of a mattress for your sunbed. The TV in our room was broken which we reported but this was not fixed during the week we were there. Now the good points - the hotel is in a good location, our apartment was very well equipped for all self catering needs & the cleaners were excellent with towels changed daily. However, we would not recommend this hotel & we will not be returning to this hotel.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Paraiso De Albuferia- A perfect holiday - Everything about this hotel was perfect. Would highly recommend it.
- bernie (10/5): paraiso hotel,albufeira,ideally located - nice clean hotel.staff were very efficient .tv in room was a bit small and dated but it worked .we had our little boy with us and there was plenty to keep him occupied.2 outdoor swimming pools and an indoor one .we were booked in for board only and found that the price of breakfast was a bit too much.it was not worth it.however there was lots of places to eat very close by including mac donalds.the local train was cheap and stopped near our hotel every 20 mins and that would bring you to the main strip or the old town which was beautiful.lots of restaurants and bars and a really beautiful beach.it was a nice clean and safe place for holidays and i would recommend the paraiso for its convenience and for its cleaniness
- Donna (4/5): Paraiso De Albufeira Hotel - bad description - Alot of hidden extras, had to pay to use the gym and even for the hotel to call a taxi for us. Its rated as a 4star, but more like a two star, bathroom was dirty, outdoor pool was dirty, indorrt pool and spa out of order at one stage. photos are very misleading, wouldn't recomend
- Prue (10/5): Excellent hotel, would definately go back - We were really happy with the hotel and would have no hesitation to stay again, everything from service to the lovel room was above our expectations for the great price we paid for the family room, being their down season the pool was not open but we knew it wouldn't be so not a problem - can only imagine how lovely the whole place would be in summer having enjoyed it over their winter months (still warm enough for anyone though). Great location, easy to get anywhere from shopping to beach. I would recommend using the shuttle bus from the airport into Faro and then catching the local bus to Albuferia - much cheaper than a shuttle direct to airport and also the local bus drops you very close to the hotel - definately recommend.
