We just came back last week and im looking to book again.

The rooms were spotless and the staff very helpful with excellent english, the entertainment was spot on, day and night.

My daughter was sick on the beds on the maids only day off, we rang reception and the cleaner was there within 5 mins, never complained and even left spare sheets just in case.

I went to this fantastic hotel and would go again!!

It was the second time I went, and I absolutely loved it. The room were spacious and clean, and very good for children. If you had a ground floor room a bit away from the pool, you would have a massive balcony.

The food was delicious. Not very good combinations (chicken strips and curry??) but most nights it was a good dinner for you and your kids.

The entertainment was great!! At quarter past ten every night, there was a excellent show that will keep you and your kids awake! Before the show, there is sometimes a game show that anyone can join in! At 8:00 every night, there is a dynamite disco that lets your kids dance and play games for an hour. The entertainment was situated in the Glam Club.

The staff were extremly friendly! When I wanted something, they focused on it.

This hotel is the best and you need to go! 10/10

Oh, and ignore the 4 star-it should be 5+!!!

Hotel is as described on many review websites.

The hotel is very clean and facilities are good but the staff do leave something to be desired , we didn

It was a while ago we went here and for

We had a really really good holiday here. We booked it when we were in the Algarve as the hotel we had booked was a real dump so it was very last minute. Anyway we had a one bedroomed apartmetn which was very big, lovely pool view and very spacious. Everything was clean and the maids came in daily and changed the towels cleaned well etc.

Didn't eat in the hotel but did go to the gym. it was quite expensive and there were a lot of portugese there not many English.

Really had a good time, I would recommend this to anyone. 5/5

We'd been to this area before, so had a good idea of what we were buying - the apartments that we got were excellent - on the ground floor, which is effectively the 3rd, decent view from the veranda, big, spacious and well maintained. Not too fat to walk into the old and new town - pretty much in the middle, close to a Marachino and the good local Potuguese and Indian restaurants that you find before the Strip. Only place that we've ever been in the Algarve that beats being this close to Albufeira is Olho's D'Agua, but that is a bit of a secret!!

If you need a beer or two, day or night, go out of the hotel. It's a bit overpriced, the service isn't wonderful and thre are a better mix of people in the bars towards the old town. The entertainment, such as it was was cheesy! Didn't eat there at all, but it looked a bit like the typical package touristico fare from where we were looking!!

Would go back if I had to, but have got a great connection for property in Olhos. If you haven't, great first place and starting point!!!

Paraiso de Albuferia

This hotel was fantastic, rooms are clean and quite spacious. the reception area was clean and well looked after. The pool was fantastic with a small childrens pool which is very close to the adults pool.

The hotel resturants are clean and ofer a wide varity of dishes to suite every one even the fussy eaters.

The bar upstairs close the reception is great for adults wanting to enjoy a quiet drink. and club glam downstairs is great for everybody wanting to enjoy some entertainment. There was truly something to suit everybodys tastes

So the good points - clean hotel, spacious self catering accomodation (for the five of us)and the weather was good. We were lucky to get a balcony overlooking the pool area, half the rooms overlook the main road.

Found the entertainment repetitive during the two weeks but the team were friendly and tried hard. Evening entertainment is in doors and mostly in the 'Glam Bar' which is in tge basement of the hotel and pretty dingy.

Worst thing for us was the tiny size of the children's pool - we had a two year old - I was getting up at 7:30am to secure sunbeds around this pool so that we could watch him play safely in the water, which was all he wanted to do. To be fair there were plenty of sunbeds and lots of space elsewhere.

Trips - Aqualand OK (sadly this was the one day it rained, really rained hard!) - Night of 1000 stars was absolute rubbish, don't waste your money. Bad food, pretty unfriendly waiters and the entertainment was poor - the Casino show was OK and kept the kids interested but they lost interest (as I did) during the rep caberet. I agree with a comment below in that the Show by the Stageschool kids was 100% better.

The hotel and its facilities were excellent and very clean.

We found the food very average for evening meals but breakfast and the poolside bar were good. Saved ourselves a fortune by being all inclusive as our 3 children ate and drank to there hearts content!!

Kids club and Brazilian football school were both excellent.

Steps into the pool were slippery and we thought dangerous (saw 2 accidents).night entertainment was very average.

Old town 15-20 min walk with children.

Hotel reception area very comfy (lots of sofas) but struggled to sit there late evenings due to lots of teenagers taking hold with cheap Alco pops from the in hotel wine and beer shop.

The hotel was spotless, towel changes three times per week and linen changes twice per week, unless you wanted them more regularly.
The room we had was supposed to be a twin bed, but was in fact a twin sofa bed. After two days of constructing it and putting it away, we gave up and left it as twin beds, it is quite heavy and cumbersome as it is of wooden construction. It's position in the room makes it awkward to move around. This is my only gripe about the room which if had been fitted with proper twins would have been fine. There is a kitchen and fridge, which unlike most hotel fridges actually freezes the water in the freezer unit to make ice cubes! There is remote control fully adjustable air conditioning, a TV with BBC1 BBC3,Sky news and other satellite channels, safe(50 euro deposit of which 15 is returned) and table & chairs.

The food quality is excellent, the best food I've had whilst on an all inclusive. The only let down is the breakfast. If your 'all inclusive' it's fantastic, though if you are paying (self catering/half board), be warned it's pricey at the hotel!

Breakfast-there is a selection of fruit and cereals, but always scrambled eggs, beans, with either sausage or bacon (with more fat than meat). The mushrooms are supposed to be garlic mushrooms, but taste like they have been cooked in vinegar! The buffet area for breakfast is supposed to be air conditioned, but they have all the doors open and it's like an oven in there in the morning! Not good if you're feeling a bit 'rough'.

Lunch-there is a varied selection in the buffet or there is burgers,pizza,chips, hotdogs or a selection of baguettes and salad from the pool side bar.

Evening - The evening buffet changes each day and is situated in an air conditioned room next to the Club Glam (where the kids entertainment is). There was a variety of food, but not as much choice each day as other all inclusives I have stayed at.

Location- The hotel is roughly in between 'the strip' and the old town. The beach is a fair walk away about 20 minutes at a good pace. Taxis and busses are frequent, but under Portuguese law you cannot 'hail' a taxi and have to find a taxi rank!

The hotel is situated on a busy main road roughly half the rooms are situated on this side, and although there is double glazing, it can get noisy at night.

Hotel staff- The staff were friendly enough, although like anywhere you do have the odd miserable few, usually working in the breakfast buffet area.

Entertainment- The Thomas Cook/JMC/Sunworld entertainment team were fantastic, they work endlessly from morning till night. They have poolside activities and entertain the kids and adults all day long. Well done to the team!! There is also a quieter bar Adao where there is usually a vocalist each night these are usually quite good.

If you have teenagers, this is ideal, there are lots of them for your kids to hang out with and the entire site is CCTV covered so it's safe for them to do wander off and do what they like.

If you have younger kids it's also good, the entertainment team have a kids disco and games starting at 8pm until 9.30PM when the main entertainment starts.

All inclusive drinks stop at 11pm and you have to start paying full price. At this point you have either stockpiled drinks at you table to avoid paying until it all finishes at 1am, go to bed, or wander off to 'The strip' for some nightlife until about 6am!

Overall a fantastic holiday I will definitely go back there again. If you book here go all inclusive it's worth every penny!
