Don't pay extra for a sea view as most rooms have a sea view or over-look the quiet pool. Restaurants/drinks in and around square expensive but there are a few bars and restaurants near the hotel circa half the price. Best, The Bagatelle.150m from hotel is the best. On the flat?

Good location but self catering is the way to go and there is a supermarket close by.

Upper floors of blocks 3, 4, or 5 seem to be the best located for views away from the main block 2 where rather reception, restaurants, bars and entertainment is held. We were on the 4th floor and were very satisfied apart from not being aware of the lack of hob and oven.
Boardwalks have been built by the hotels of the area giving easy access to the beach and beach side kiosks and restaurants. The best beach restaurant we found was Os Salgados, a seafood restaurant.
One at the other end of the beach was far less agreeable with ambience, food and service. Walking beyond Os Salgados on boardwalks are views of a river/ lagoon where you can see fish, water birds and terrapins. Not too far from Albufeira for more restaurants and shops.

The reort is currently undergoing a lot of new building work,with new hotels and apartements sprouting up all over.
the entertainment is non existant unless you take a taxi into town which is not as easy as it sounds.
The beach is beautiful but difficult to reach if you are not agood walker.
I would not return to the resort as I did not find it to be very tourist friendly.

it was a fair walk to the beach,but please beware of the saying "hi guys,are you british?.... are you friendly?". you will hear this 3 or 4 times as you go up the "strip" and sometimes can be quiet aggresive!.
these people are trying to sell time shares.
for good food try "the geordie pride" and "annabells"
and "coconuts".

The main strip is the place to go and generally if you eat at some of the restaurants you get free drinks voucher for some of the bars. The drink is very cheap but can become expensive when happy hour has finished.
Something I did notice and that was people don't seem to get that dressed up on a night and I would advise you to not wear heals but flats or wedges as all the pavements are cobbled.

A quiet safe environment with numerous restaurants all of which offered excellent value for money and really enjoyable food.
The Hollywood Bar is good for late niight entertainment particularly on Tuesdays and Fridays... for budding singers.
Albufeira Old Town is worth several visits......... fabulous!

The resort was ok, not much around really just lots of building work. There are a few restaurants and bars around 15 minutes away.
The strip is ok, but very lively and full of young people when its gets late. If you have a family go earlier before everyting gets started. The old town is a must to vist, its lovely all based around a square. Lots going on, jugglers, bands, fire eats, etc. Lots of good shops aswell. Be warned though you will wait a good hour for a taxi back to the hotel, this will cost you around 8 euros.

very breezy but beautiful place- very clean and well maintained resort.
bit hilly and the pavements are tiny ceramic tiles so very slippy be careful!
sea was freezing but still beautifully clear and the old town was gorgeous bustling with street entertainers and lovely bars and restaurants.
the strip was great even with kids the bars were clean and trouble free so you can relax with plenty to choose from.
maybe some kids entertainers in bars etc as not much in the way of entertainment in any of the bars at all.
shopping i found was a bit naff and struggled to find any decent souveneirs not much in the way of decent clothing shops or perfumeries but bits and bobs shops in abundance.
some bars were a rip off charging almost £3.00 for a half lager and almost £4.80 a pint just a case of finding what suits.
Shanghai chinese was amazing gets really busy there so book or get there before 8pm as queue was out the door for a table worth it mmmmm.
Wonderful place we adored it and loved the portuguese people and food highly recommended for all ages.

We loved going to the square, there was lots to do and lots of restaurants. we found the strip too much for us as we wanted a fairly quiet relaxing holiday and the strip is definately not quiet. The beach was excellent, although we had lots of steps to go down to get there. We would definately visit albufeira again, and would stay at the vila bela again.

Good resort, old town lovely. Beaches clean but you need to be fit to get up cardiac hill.
Watch out for the time-share / holiday resort ticket touts.
