The hotel is designed very nice and is just like the pictures. It’s a shame as it has a lot of potential. It’s very close to the beach and it was clean. The rooftop was also a nice place to sit for a drink. There is also a luggage room that you can keep your case if you arrive early.

Nice hotel in a great location. Pool area is good (pool bar was closed but expected this as not high season) lots of beds and nice vibe at the pool.

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.

The beaches are great, some with rocks but most with great sands and views. The catamaran trips and offroad safari are worth it, the seafood and most of every street food is always fresh and tastes great.

Albufeira is a great place to visit as its spread out and has a few different areas to go and see: The old town, strip, marina etc all with bars, restaurants and something going on. On this visit the old town was quite lively with lots of stag and hen doo's which was good to watch! Still a friendly atmosphere down there albeit a bit lively!

Definitely worth a visit.
Definitely worth a visit. The old town especially is very beautiful, but be prepared for lots of hills! Plenty of places to eat and drink, great atmosphere, lots to see and do. Make sure you take a boat trip to the caves, well worth it.

Albufeira is really a small City size rather than a town.
Albufeira is really a small City size rather than a town. It is a very busy and bustling place, but it has many different areas to suit all tastes and ages, locals are super friendly and passionate about their country.
Frentomar is a great place, located right on top of Albufeira's beach and in the beginning of the old town. We were 5-10 minutes away from all the bars/restaurants in the beautiful old town (where it was much more noisy than on the street of our hotel).
My favorite thing was the location and the balcony which opened beautiful scenery to the city, the palm trees and the sea.
The hosts were also nice, check in was easy. Staff was friendly.
We had a lot of towels and they also changed them every day.
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.
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.
Hotel was in a nice quiet location. It was clean and staff were friendly although we had little dealings with them.Room were made up daily with fresh towels provided. An uber to old town was less than 4euro and approx 20mins walk to the beach escalators down a steep hill. We didnt use the pool as it was pretty full the day we went down and no parasols free. We went to the beach instead. The loungers closest to the escalators are cheaper than the far beach.
The space was basic, but very good value for the price. The apartment was very spacious with good tv and wifi service. There was a nice food market within walking distance. If you don’t like walking up a big hill to get to the apartment from the town of Albufeira, this may not be the places for you. I give a 5 star rating to Suzana who provided excellent service during our stay. She was always responsive to any questions we had!
Pool was awesome! Not loads of sunbeds but we stayed for a weekend and when we needed a sunbed, we got one.
The views from our rooms were some of the best i have ever seen.
The reception staff were exceptional and so helpful and the cleaning and bar staff were helpful and happy.
Hotel was clean and well maintained.
Location was walking distance to Old Town and less then €4 to New Town so perfect for everyone.
The property is ideally located for us, very close to pubic transport from the airport, good cafes nearby and an easy walk to the old town and beaches. It was very quiet with no noise or disturbances at night. Good balconies, excellent facilities, a really good size for an extended stay and the bonus of a washing machine, 2 proper bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The hosts are excellent.
Ideal hotel for couples or families. Only a short walk to Old Town. Apartment was so clean and had all the facilities that we needed. Staff are so helpful and accommodating. I couldn't recommend enough. I would definitely book again when returning to Albuferia!!
Lovely hotel in perfect location right on the beach and in the old town. Lovely clean spacious rooms with sea view and balcony, looks out on to the beach. Plenty of choice at breakfast, nice lounge and bar area, there is also an indoor pool if you prefer.
It's a beautiful boutique hotel in a great location, close to restaurants, beach, grocery, strip and old town. The rooms are immaculate. The staff is friendly. The pool and deck are gorgeous, with a sweeping view of the ocean.
Liked the location most of all. Beautiful view of the ocean and near old town center. Staff was very friendly and helpful to all our needs. Breakfast was great and plentiful. Hotel was not overly crowded and only adults.
The Hotel California is in a great location in the Old Town of Albufeira. Walking distance to the beach, bars and restaurants. Lovely clean hotel and very nice rooftop pool with comfortable sunbeds. Recommend.
Fabulous location, clean, comfortable room with an beachfront balcony and marvelous ocean view. Right on the beach. Excellent breakfast. Close to old town and a short walk to the marina.
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.
