Breakfast was fantastic. Room was large. Location was excellent for access to the old town and Marina. There is a gorgeous walk along the seafront. Avoid the strip if you don't like the Benidorm vibe - stag dos, loud music, tacky bars etc

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.

Albufeira is a lovely beach town with a lot of kid friendly activities and nice options for the grown ups like cliff hiking too. The beaches are excellent. There are a lot of restaurants in town and various cuisines. Multiple beach resorts make it a perfect location for family vacations. Its very easy to reach from Faro airport or train station. In town its easy to move around via Uber etc, but best to have a rental car, there is parking easily available everywhere. We stayed at the Alfagar Village and it was a very good experience.

Albufeira is very hilly so you should factor in taxi's etc to get around if you have any mobility issues, particulary heading west from the centre.
We went in the first week in May and it was, we thought very busy and certainly very noisy in the centre from the.
It seems to be a magnet for Stag and Hen parties and/or large groups of men / women of all ages who like to party. We used our Albufeira as a base and explored other local Towns on foot and using Taxi's.
A good party place if that floats your boat if you are loking for quiet evenings for food and drink then maybe choose elsewhere- there are lots of places on the Algarve that we have stayed in/visited.

Ok, the condo was excellent.
Ok, the condo was excellent. The owner has only one condo so its privately owned meaning its equipped with pretty much all necessities. Well located and tbh...better than i expected. Pictures don't quite render the size. Its very comfortable. It's also gated. Driving inside was surprising to see a 100 foot long entrance completely covered with overhanging trees. Gives it a bit of a royal feel.
The condo faces the pool side not the driveway so that's a plus. You can also see the ocean from your terrace. The walk down to the ocean is a bit steep but so is everything in Portugal. Its less than 5 minutes downhill.
Now for the part i didn't enjoy as much: Albufeira itself. Its slowly losing it's flavor by becoming americanized with boutiques, restaurants and gift shops. If that's your thing you'll be well served. One night, searching for a power voltage converter i ended up in a somewhat debauchery street with a strip club, sex shop, bars galore, people all over the street and neons advertising loud music and parties. I have nothing against this and it is very reminiscent of Ibiza nightlife but its a sign of change. This was maybe 2km from the condo so not in the immediate viscinity. By the way, i found the converter on that very street in a gift shop so...maybe i shouldn't complain. :) Enjoy!

Albufeira Old Town has become loud and full of Stag and Hen groups :-(
Best time to visit it is before lunchtime; after that it becomes rowdy. If that's what you want then fine. There are plenty of other quieter bars/diners on the outskirts, so it can be avoided in the evenings.
Some lovely old typical Portuguese houses and buildings further out of the town square.
The location couldn't be better. Steps to the fun and shopping of Old Town, great restaurants and Peneco Beach (which has an elevator!). Its a fantastic property. Front desk staff is EXCELLENT. Breakfast was perfect and the pool and deck with the view of the beach is magical. Everything you could want in a boutique beach hotel. We were lucky enough to be in town for an annual festival taking place but wouldn't have known unless we saw the flyer in the lobby! What a treat...immersed in a locals event on the first night of our trip...
For a solo traveler it's ideal. It's fantastic value for money, somewhere to drop your bags and shower and sleep is all I want from a room. Ideally situated between the new and old town so you've got the best of both worlds. Room was clean and spacious, also if you're leaving late there's somewhere to store your luggage. When I come back to Albufeira I wouldn't look to stay anywhere else
One final call out to Rita, a delightful young lady who has to be the most helpful member of staff I've ever come across
Great apartment in perfect location: walking distance to beach and old town. Clean, specious, and has everything you need for comfortable stay, kitchen was well-equipped including dishwasher, washing machine, etc. Beautiful views overlooking the old city and ocean from balcony.
Nuno is an excellent host, very kind and helpful. He kept in touch from day one, met us in person to show around, provided helpful information/sightseeing suggestions.
We had an unforgettable stay and hope to come back sometime soon!
Very neat and clean apartment. Quiet neighbourhood (at least in March). Beautiful views-you can see the whole Albufeira, and the ocean, from both sides of the house. You can see the sun in the morning from your balcony, and the sunset from the public corridor on your doorstep. The house has everything you need. It's 10-15min. walk to the old town and the beach. And the best part -lovely landlady Idàlia. Super reliable and welcoming, made me feel at ease and resolved any issues very quickly. Would stay again.
Fantastic stay, this Hotel re-defines 5-star in the Algarve and is up there with Hotels you would find in Dubai. Décor is stylish, fresh and super cool. Vibe is of the scale and all staff are super friendly. Food variety is excellent, of high quality and well priced. I liked the location as it is privately tucked away but still close enough to old town and the main beaches. If you want a high end place to chill relax that offers great value, the Hotel is a must.
Everything about it was perfect. The staff were helpful and friendly. We highly recommend Aparthotel Paladim and if returning to Albufeira will certainly stay here again. Great location , walk out the front door and turn right for New Town strip and left for the Old Town approx ten to fifteen minute walk each way. The apartment we got was lovely , plenty of space with a large beautiful bathroom plus a big balcony overlooking the two pools.
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! 🙂
I loved the property in the middle of the centre (Old Town). Lots of restaurants, shops, nightlife, everything you need when in Albufeira. The property is also exactly like the pictures. Additionally, there was a very friendly host, we got welcome bottle of wine and could ask her for anything we needed. We missed our flight and she was very kind and helped us through the problems we faced.
I loved everything about this special place! The service, the staff, the beautifully thought out shared courtyard. You feel like you are in your own little world at this hotel. I LOVED the breakfast with a touch of champagne to start your day! It's also the best location you can find in Albufeira in the middle of old town and in walking distance to the main beach.
This was my second stay at this hotel and again I wasn't disappointed, it is superbly located adjacent to both the beach and the restaurants/bars of the wonderful Albufeira Old Town. The receptionists were helpful and polite, nothing was too much trouble. The hotel is spotlessly clean and ticks just about all of the boxes required for a few days away.
Newly renovated hotel so it was nice and clean. Great location. Just in the centre of old town and new town. I could walk to the beach and explore old town and walk back. Used uber for transport which is pretty affordable in Portugal. Staff was excellent. Fernando and Andrea at reception has great recommendations and helped me book some excersions.
The pool and gym facilities are excellent. Breakfast is amazing. Staff are friendly and accommodating. We chose the hotel for the location as we did not want to be in the town centre around all the noise. It did not disappoint. The Sao Rafael beach is also amazing. It was perfect. It is only 10 minutes and 7-10 euro in a taxi to the old town.
The terrace is fantastic. So spacious with plenty of furniture and a beautiful sea view. Nice and safe for children with a high barrier. The apartment had everything we could need and was in a brilliant location close to the beach and restaurants etc in Albufeira old town.
Staff were great, Hotel and rooms were very clean, food was also great, would definetely stay again and at other Vile Gale hotels, Location is also really good, as the tourist train stops directly outside of the hotel so you can get an easy ride to the strip or old town
Lovely hotel lovely food lovely pool and right on the beach ..close to the old town and everything about this hotel is good ...it's got its own car park ideal if you hire a car it's safe ..
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.
Great location, close to all the bars/restaurants in the old town, but far enough to not have all the noise. Bonus: free parking in front of the property.
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.
Amazing view, right on the beach, 2 mins to main square of the old town. Super clean hotel and comfortable room. Staff also very nice and keen to help.
