Ukino Terrace Algarve

"Absolutely loved it here, we went self catering so cannot comment on the food on site but the local restaurants were lovely. We ate at Tasca 26, Vilarhino and Vila de Italia would highly recommend all of them. We spent some evenings at the sweet spot on site, (cocktails were amazing!!) this is where they do evening entertainment, there wasn’t stuff on every night and shuts at 11pm so worth planning around this. There are a couple of local bars that are open till around 2am. We went out on the nights there wasn’t much going on. It is more of a quiet place but if your willing to take a walk there are restaurants and bars within a 10min walk or a 5 minute taxi ride into the local town which has a lot more places to eat and drink. Also it’s around 25mins in a taxi to Albufeira old town (Uber cost around £10) The room was spacious and spotless the pool was clean and plenty of sun loungers to choose from. The staff were all amazing, could not fault them. Welcoming and friendly, we had no issues here at all. We was a family of 2 adults and 2 16 year olds so not sure what the children’s entertainment is like. It’s not a 5 star resort so if you want luxury maybe look around but if you want something a bit more affordable and laid back I would recommend coming here."

"I just spent a week at this hotel. I was staying on the 3rd floor without an elevator. Not very convenient when you are no longer very young. The room was spacious, very clean, good bedding, cleaning done every 2 days. The food was decent, the staff pleasant. The downside. Without a car, there is not much to do around the hotel, the paid excursions are guided but in English. Few public transport options (a bus that goes to Albufeira (not every hour), you then have to take a connection). No umbrellas around the pool. I do not recommend this place for people with reduced mobility, there are always stairs to access the beaches (fabulous beaches), and it is uphill to return to the hotel."

"From start to finish, the staff have been absolutely brilliant. Everyone we came across was friendly, welcoming and genuinely helpful, which made such a difference to our stay. We did have an issue with our bathroom when we first arrived, but the way it was handled was exceptional. We were listened to, spoken to personally about the issue, and then contacted by email with a resolution. We were also shown an alternative apartment so we could decide whether we would be happier moving rooms — and we were! The team even offered to help us move all of our belongings to the new apartment. We declined the help, but the fact that they offered was such a lovely touch and really showed how much they cared. The apartment itself was clean, comfortable and a lovely place to stay. The poolside staff were also fantastic and genuinely couldn’t do enough to help. What really stood out to us was the attitude of the whole team. They made us feel welcomed, valued and looked after throughout our stay. We honestly can’t wait to come back again! ❤️ Thank you to every member of staff who helped make our stay so enjoyable and unforgettable. You are a credit to the hotel! 🇵🇹☀️"
