Algarve Casino

"Stayed 5 days late September. Booked 2 rooms in the lower part of the hotel the anex I think they called it . Views onto the beach was spectacular Worth the price on its own . As said in other reviews yes the hotel is very dated but very clean . It's in a great area nice and quiet. Staff were very nice especially the on the desk ,very friendly and enjoyed a chat. Pool looked pretty good and the grounds were excelent . Rooms very basic dated but clean . I wouldn't like to stay in the high-rise part of the hotel especially facing the roadway . Breakfast was a bit dissapointing Some hot food .no warmed plates which were very small and also the glasses for juice . Maybe it's just me but I found the walking staff at the breakfast quite off-putting Hovering around like vultures grabbing any plates unattended u aren't leave the table to get anything or the table would be cleared . Had a great stay apart from that Would go back again Would skip the breakfast option."

"Five stars? Not even close — it’s more like three at best. The hotel is located in a great area, offering a casino, spa, children’s play area, a large pool zone, and direct access to the beach — and yes, the staff are indeed very friendly and professional. However, that’s about all the praise it deserves. Although promoted as a five-star hotel, it has definitely lost at least two stars. The rooms are spacious and clean, but outdated and in serious need of renovation, reflecting a general sense of decline. In our room, the curtains were hanging loose and did not provide proper blackout coverage. The other two windows had wooden blinds that didn’t close properly either. Breakfast is served in a large hall, but most of the food is industrially prepared, with plenty of variety but little freshness — the only genuinely fresh items were the fruits and fruit salad. In one section of the dining room, there were visible water stains and damage, seemingly from a past air-conditioning leak or flooding. We had dinner there one evening; the dishes were tasty, well-presented, and overall a pleasant experience. However, the bar service was a disaster — it was impossible to get served unless you went up and called for the bartender yourself. When he finally came, he complained about being overworked and said he couldn’t do anything about it. Extremely rude and unprofessional — a real shame for a hotel that aims for a luxury standard. "

"Built in late 1960s .....do I need to say anymore. Rooms are terrible. Room is poor, drinks are bad. Pool is poor, service Is just okay. Location and being the beach are the best parts"
