One of the best Algarve resorts, Albufeira has wonderful beaches, turquoise waters and the dramatic, rocky coastline that makes this part of Portugal so special.
Naturally, life here is all about sun, sand and sea. The most popular Albufeira beach is Fisherman’s Beach and you can still see locals bringing in the fishing boats every morning - if you’re up early enough, that is. Tunnel Beach is accessed through an opening in the cliff, and both offer a variety of watersports.
Further up the coast is Albufeira Marina, from where sightseeing boat trips depart, while east of the town is the 9-hole Balaia golf course. On the way here, you pass Arias de Sao João, home to The Strip where the best bars and clubs are found, many staying open until the early hours.
The Old Town of Albufeira is more peaceful, and its cobbled streets house Moorish buildings and some great restaurants serving fresh fish. If you fancy a day trip from Albufeira, the 12th-century remains of Moorish Almoáda Castle in Paderne can be visited for free.
The town is around 45 minutes’ drive from Faro Airport and there is a fantastic range of beach resorts, small B&Bs and Albufeira apartments on Booking.com.

ROACHES AND SCAMMED!
ROACHES AND SCAMMED!
Honestly I can’t tell express how shit this place was. The place was filled with giant cockroaches, they were everywhere, under beds, sofas and absolutely terrifying. Upon informing the place about them they have proceeded to not answer us. Additionally we feel scammed by the property as upon arrival there was a crack in the sink, which we just assumed they would’ve notice it from the previous guests. However after our stay they then charged us 200 euros for the damage to the sink which we did not cause. When we contacted them about there mistake, they have further showed terrible customer service and ignored us, when they responded days later they very childish messages. There customer service was beyond disrespectful even before the cockroach and additional unfair charges, as they offered very unclear directions and limited communication leaving us standing around the apartment at 10 o’clock at night wondering if the booking was actually real.
For future guests please save yourself the hassle of cockroaches and go else where. But if you are brave enough to face the roaches be careful of being scammed with unfair additional charges, already damaged property being blamed on your and don't give them your card details.
However if we look on the bright side, the one thing they have going for them is the pictures are accurate and the place is quite nice in terms of size and location. Additionally the pool looks nice however just take into consideration that is is not heated and I doubt cleaned so quite cold and the sun beds are under lock and key so pretty much unusable.

Once I moved accommodation, it was great.
Once I moved accommodation, it was great. I love Albufeira, I've been most years for the past 15 years. The beaches are beautiful and the people are friendly. There's lots to do for all ages. I also hire a car so I have independence but everything is fairly accessible without it. I didn't visit Zoomarine this time, but normally it is a must go - preferably for 2 days (2nd day much cheaper). Also enjoyed Krazy World zoo and Slide n Splash water park. Didn't like Aquashow water park, although has big rides suitable for adults. Quarteira is worth a visit, as is Tavira. Liked Lagos but the water is colder the further west you go!

Wonderful trip. Our favourite place to go was the old town.
Wonderful trip. Our favourite place to go was the old town. It was so much better than the main strip. Much cuter and cooler bars, better night life, less grubby. Ubers everywhere! easy to get around. Gorgeous beaches. Our villa was a 2 minute walk from the beach, ideal.

Weather was great, plenty of restaurants, it is basically a place for hen and stag parties and teenaged clubbing. Great place to eat is Wander Inn and Cockrill.
Very easy to get around as there are plenty of taxis and tuk tuks.
We would definitely avoid staying as close to the nightclubs.

Fabulous location for a family or a couple break.
Fabulous location for a family or a couple break.
The area can be challenging because of the many hills and steps when getting around. There are lots of really nice places to eat out just of the many square in old town.
The beach has lovely golden sand. The nearby caves can be experienced by daily boat tours.
Some of the town gets crowded with hen/ stag/ groups.
We love the location!!!! And the position of the swimming pool too. Was amazing evening for 3 star hotel what you need.All family love the food we was there with 3 kids and food was amazing every day 😍 stuff was so nice and friendly make 1 week stay for us very spacial. Amazing position to walk to the old town on the beach!!! We just love all I think this hotel for 3 star is absolutely amazing give you more for your money!!! Well done MONICA ISABEL BEACH CLUB !!! WE WILL BE BACK NEXT YEAR 😍
Thank you for the nice accommodation in the heart of the old town of Albufeira. We had everything we needed in the room. The location of the apartment is perfect, the sea is right next to it. And of course the view is absolutely amazing. Carlos was incredibly helpful and drove to save me from the balcony when I was locked out, and the woman from the hotel staff was wonderfully, friendly, funny and very helpful.
It was also fun to watch movies, because they had good channels there!
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.
Very clean property with good facilities and pricing. One Bedroom apartments are comfortable for 2-3 people. Rooms are very good quality. Housekeeping staff are very friendly and efficient. Front Desk Manager/Supervisor lady was very nice and helpful. very nice pool area with plenty of sun beds and space for size of hotel. Quiet location at night so great for a good night’s sleep after visiting the old town which is a 10-minute stroll or €4 taxi cab away.
Location was ideally located 2 mins walk to a big indoor supermarket and 15 mins walk to either Old Town or New Town, the rooms are clean, very spacious and practical, the sun loungers are comfortable and the kids pool was great for the babys & toddlers, the staff and local Portuguese are lovely and welcoming, lots of very good restaurants in the old town, would highly recommend this hotel and a holiday to Albufeira! 🙂
There was entertainment on Sunday night, I missed it because I didn't know it was free for all at the hotel. We never used the pool but it felt like a great tempurature, it's enclosed. Breakfast was great!! they had a lot and with a european and portugese flavor. Location cannot get anybetter than this hotel, on the beach, and walking distance to all of Albufeiras' old town and many restaurants. We loved it!!!
Absolutely LOVED Hotel Baltum! The staff were so friendly and our room was ready early for us. It was clean, cozy and had an amazing view off our balcony. It was also an amazing location - we were able to walk to the beach in less than five minutes and we were able to walk all over Old Town. We also took advantage of the amazing rooftop and drinks on the rooftop as well. I could not recommend more!
Location was good however hard for families with buggy’s as there is 100 steps to climb from old town. Taxi were cheap however so can avail of those. Swimming pool in main hotel was lovely and staff were very friendly. We had dinner in hotel one night and food was good- starters were on the small side ( we go mussels and there were only 4!) mains were lovely.
Hotel was very clean, room was good, nice selection of food & it was great to have the option to eat in some of the other Grand Muthu hotels nearby - we were all inclusive. Staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is located less than 5 minutes from The Strip but a taxi ride away from the Old Town.
Exceptional staff, very friendly and could not do enough for us. The hotel is spotlessly clean and is in a great location directly on the beach and a short walk to the old town.
A special thank you to Hugo at reception for all his help and recommendations for travel and trips.
Absolutely amazing villa. Huge space with a great backyard as well for dogs or kids. Location is absolutely convenient, right next to old town. Plenty of street parking and we look forward yo booking this same spot again the next time we are back down in albufeira.
My go-to hotel room in Albufeira because it's cheap and has everything you need: a comfy bed, working ac, working tv, warm water, some toiletries, and a balcony. It's near the center, there are restaurants and cafés nearby. Near the beach. It's nice and quiet.
The location was amazing - right on the beach but also steps away from Old Town Albufeira. The room was simple but clean and had everything we needed. We were very happy with our choice based on location alone.
Location perfect away from the noise of the strip and old town. But close enough to walk or a 3 min taxi ride for €4
Hotel food was excellent. Clean and friendly.
Pool area spotless.
The apartment is in the best location for Albufeira Old Town. Having 4 double bedrooms perfectly suited our group and the apartment is modern and clean.
