We stayed in a quiet area and was still east to get to the local supermarket and we rented a car. Easy to get around as we used uber and all within 20 mins. Old town Albuferia is more happening and very pretty sunset
The weather was beautiful. Good place to go if you want to just relax and chill out. Not a lot to do other than the beach and pool. Did not come across any nice shops - just the typical trinkets that could be from anywhere, just with a change of name!! Need to wander into side streets for nice restaurants. Highly recommend Casa Da Fonte(seafood), Alfredo’s and il Terrazzos( both Italian). Did a lot of walking and felt very safe.
First visited Albufeira Christmas gone. It was a cheap Jet2 package . I had reservations as I had read all about The Strip , Hen and Stag parties etc . Worried it would be like Benidorm (not in a snobby way I like peace and quiet) I am back and that speaks volumes. Friendly locals, old town is amazing , Moorish and very creative . Pingo Doce is cheap as chips and I reckon I am saving at least £10-£15 a day in basic bills. Eating out compared to UK or Ireland - very cheap. English Breakfast £5 on waterfront???? The Strip abit more nuts in October than Christmas - I only go down there to get the the beach. Private studios available for lone travellers from £25 a night. I feel safe as a middle aged lone female traveller. GNR (police) have taken a hardline to try and improve some tourists behaviour but as a local lady told me with a wry smile ; enforcing the new rules (no bikinis in restaurants, tops on lads, no buying alcohol after 11pm in shops) is a mellow affair. I travelled over with hand baggage only and managed to get some pretty sweet bargain shorts/tshirts etc for the lovely temperatures we are having right now. Looking forward to Halloween in the town square with my partner.
Beautiful area in the Algarve region. Very large clean beach. Great choice of restaurants. lots of transport options eg taxi uber tuck tuck buses etc. Nice weather, never too windy. People are all 99 percent friendly. Some people may struggle to get around depending on fitness level
Really fun, lovely town. We loved the old town, it was filled with character. Lots of little shops and stalls and every type of cuisine you could possibly want! Amazing bars and restaurants to suit all needs. The beaches were lovely and large. The sea was quite rough but all main beaches were life guarded.
The beaches are amazing , the boat trip to see the beautiful dolphins is a must The old town is really nice and lots to do and see although some places are difficult as uphill in general getting around was easy Our accommodation was perfect for everything And the host was exceptional very lovely and nothing was too much trouble .

Incredible location, very comfortable and homely apartment, and the owners (Pedro) were incredibly helpful throughout my stay. The apartment is a minutes walk from the old town, but somehow away from all the noise and chaos of the old town. Lovely balcony and nice spacious place. The owners send you a link before your stay which has a comprehensive guide to Albufeira, including tips on parking, best restaurants and activities and a whole lot more. Overall, couldn't be happier with my experience. Thank you Pedro!
The hotel is very clean, modern and in the perfect location right near the strip and a 10 minute drive to the old town. The staff communicate via WhatsApp and you can ask them for anything you need that way. The pool is well maintained, clean and has a lovely relaxed vibe. The pool bar is great for lunch or snacks until 8pm and breakfast was a buffet style which was also lovely. The rooms had a paid mini bar with wine and complimentary water and coffee machine ready on arrival.
5* location right on the beach. We stayed in a superior sea view with a balcony overlooking the water. A 10-min walk along the cliff to the old town. The beach was clean and really long. Breakfast was good with dates, local cheeses (goat cheese and round, soft cheese were so good), fresh mango/melon/pineapple, local coffee (meio de leite). Charging points on each side of the bed. Retro, Miami vibe. Italian restaurant (Trattoria Toscana) next to the hotel was very good.
Albufeira
Ideal location, on the beachfront and only a 5 minute walk into the heart of old town Albufeira. Extremely welcoming hosts that remained fully available via WhatsApp day and night. Gorgeous apartment with very comfortable rooms and bedding. The rooftop terrace was a beautiful perk! Supplying a cot was also no problem it was brought to use within minutes of our arrival. Thank you for accommodating us ❤️

The apartment was very clean, and had enough space for 4 people. Air conditioning was very good. The pool was kept very well, and the bar area was nice and comfortable, and provided some food options. A nice added bonus was the provided sunbed cushions. Ubers into Old Town were cheap. Grounds and gardens were lovely and well kept.
The staff were very helpful and the room was cleaned every day. The hotel is located in the center of Old Town which was great if you wanted to be near the cafés and bars but the noise at night was terrible. Also we had to ask for a kettle to make tea and buy plastic cups, there was no fridge either.

It is a modern apartment hotel with good basic amenities just outside of old town. I was disappointed there was not a breakfast buffet (early April). I knew there would be a charge for pool towel but not a charge for a bathing cap. Some coffee/tea in room or lobby would be nice.
Excellent sea views from our room with very comfortable bed and movie channels on TV, friendly reception staff, hotel just a 10 minute walk from Albufeira old town (with some hills), the breakfast was great too. Quiet in November and the pool was cold. Would return April-October.
Beautiful view very clean, comfy mattress on bed, hotel was right by the beach. Shuttle bus into town . Could walk into Albufeira old town along the beach( sand ,no wooden boardwalk available) Quiet beach in a smallish cove nearby too
Albufeira
The apartment was SPOTLESSLY clean,there was a fantastic view and lots of facilities.Most importantly it was quiet at night.We heard horror stories from other tourists who stayed in old town Albufeira about the loud music all night.

The hotel was walking distance to the old town and to the beach. The person assisting with check in was knowledgeable and friendly, as were all the staff. Rooms were cleaned daily, and the kitchen area was homey.

Great location, great beach, not much around for party people, best to go into Old Town for that in December. £20 for Uber from Faro airport to this hotel or download the Bolt app for slightly cheaper taxi.

Everything was perfect in the apartment, 5 minute walk from old town Albufeira, A/C, TV, kitchen well equipped, nice, decently clean bathroom, elevator, private balcony, comfy bed.
Beautiful hotel, perfect for a relaxing getaway. Great breakfast and in walking distance of the Albufeira strip (5min) or the old town (25min). Will be back!
This is a great all inclusive in Portugal, very clean and well run. The shows were lots of fun, and there are many activities for the whole family.
