Beautiful area, the view of the ocean and red cliffs are stunning! Large, clean pool and lots of loungers, but we went in April, so maybe busy in the summer. The pool was cold, but I still went in and enjoyed it. The hotel is close to restaurants and a small town with some shops and bars. Driving distance to Albufeira. Private beautiful beach area for the hotel, however, lots of stairs down. But no worries, lovely beach within walking distance. The restaurant served delious food and staff was warm and friendly.
Breakfast was top notch! They made omelettes to order, fried eggs. Bacon, sausages, fruit, pancakes...I could go on and on! And your own pot of coffee and milk for your table was a nice touch.
The view eating breakfast was glorious. We stayed in a standard room with balcony and a sea view. We could sit on the large balcony and just take it all in. I also liked the little hangers outside to put your wet bathing suits to dry. Our room was standard, but clean, and a nice, spacious bathroom. Fluffy towels, comfortable bed. Good housekeeping. A fridge, safe and I can't remember, but thought there was a kettle or coffee maker.
They had entertainment in the bar that was maybe a bit cheesy for a younger crowd. I actually really enjoyed it because it was nice to stay in the hotel in the evening and I thought the music had good variety. We stayed for 3 nights, but didn't want to leave!

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.

Certain parts of Albufeira are still beautiful, but the old town seems to be full of stag & hen parties. The Strip is the same but you expect that there.
Santa Eulalia & Olhos d’Agua are still nice, & have beautiful beaches.

You can split Albufeira into two parts - Centre - focused on turists and Old Town part - for slow wondering around. Centre is located in Old Town, so You can make two steps away from main street and enjoy quiet, relaxed atmosphere. Town beach is beautiful - large and sandy with clean water. Unfortunatelly The Lift (the one who takes You down from streets level to beach level) doesn't work and You have to use over 110 steps to get down to beach. Food prices avarage for holiday resorts - starts from 15Euro for pizza up to 20+Euro for everything else. Super cheap Port wine to buy in Intermarche (from 4,2E). In general people speak english, so no problem with comunication.

We stay in an area called santa eulalia it's a bit quite than the strip and old town which suits us we can get a bus taxi or the little train into old town for a day. The area also has bus stops which give access to other areas in albufeira and connects to main bus station. Some of our favourite places to go are netos restaurant , Roberto's piri piri restaurant, robieros restaurant, all have good reasonably inexpensive food and friendly staff, the little cafe deli on the corner of the octopus roundabout does lovely snacks and drinks, the coyote bar and the old house bar have friendly staff and good for karaoke next to a very good Chinese restaurant

The hotel Epic Sana has to be one of the best hotels in this area. We found nothing that could be improved, as the accomadation, food, cleanliness was as a 5* should be. All the staff from management to housekeepers were pleasant and always willing to help or assist in anyway. Local facilities in the pretty village of ‘Olhos de Agua’ were adequate, if you are looking for a quiet peaceful holiday(no noisy night clubs or bars) which was heavenly for us.
Excellent *****

Albufeira is one of the best places to go.
Albufeira is one of the best places to go. We have travelled many times and have stayed in Old Town Albufeira with friends and really enjoyed it every time we go. Hotel Music and Location are all excellent. We would recommend anyone to go to Albufeira for a holiday. Plenty of transport options wherever you want to go there. Buses, Trains etc.
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!
Great hotel,uber from faro Airport costs €27 euro,hour walk into albufeira old town, Uber €8 euro .Beside great beaches dotted along coast,great restaurants beside hotel in walking distance, shops and bus stop beside hotel .staff lovely and friendly,room lovely and comfortable and clean, had a balcony and walk in shower.breakfast amazing for a continental, also offer eggs, bacon mushrooms, tomatoes and cakes and crossiants, plenty to choose from huge selection.
Very clean property with good facilities and pricing. One Bedroom apartments are comfortable for 2-3 people. Rooms are very good quality. Housekeeping staff are very friendly and efficient. Front Desk Manager/Supervisor lady was very nice and helpful. very nice pool area with plenty of sun beds and space for size of hotel. Quiet location at night so great for a good night’s sleep after visiting the old town which is a 10-minute stroll or €4 taxi cab away.
we stayed in hotel california for 4 nights , rooms are very clean with a nice view on an old town Albufeira. the staff and the lady from reception very friendly and helpful . We had breakfast included which was always fresh. you have got a good selection of food and drinks . The Hotel is just right in the heart of Albufeira. All restaurants and pubs just right beside and 2 mins walk to the beach. highly recommended:)
Best location possible if a traveller intends on staying in or around old town Albufeira. The interior updates have given the hostel a nice and modern look that is difficult to find in other hostels around the Algarve. Can extra safety measures be taken to help guests feel at ease? Sure. However, if you take responsibilty for your own items and store them away properly, you will not have a problem.
Huge amount of space for the value.
my single room included a separate kitchen and living room, with furnished patio overlooking the pool. it’s literally a one-bedroom apartment. immaculately clean and the location can’t be beat for the value. 6 minute walk downhill to the sea shore, from there you can walk to old town Albufeira along the shoreline. little markets right next door.
Management, receptionist and other staff are very professional and welcoming. Hotel is located in the best part of the town. Few steps from the beautiful beach and old town. There are many restaurants and shops just outside of the hotel. Housekeepers work hard to maintain the place clean and tidy. Very good value for the money. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.
Close to both the old town (4 euro Uber) and the new town strip (5/6 minute walk)
Nice and modern hotel
Very very clean and the rooms were nice but ours was abit small but I noticed some other rooms were a lot bigger so I’d make sure you let them know you don’t want a box room. Great value for money if you want a cheap 3 star with a great location.
Hotel Location was perfect. Cleanliness was very high standard. Rooms were very spacious and perfectly equipped. Staff (most) were exceptional. 6-7 minute walk to strip. 35 minute walk to Old Town. 5 mins walk to nearest beach (small but has beds & parasols & restaurant). 12 minutes to bigger beach and boardwalk. Definitely 4 star quality.
The hotel is in an ideal location. It is at the heart of Albufeira Old Town. We really enjoyed the rooftop bar which lets you overlook the beach and enjoy cocktails in the sun. Our room was small but we weren’t in it much and it was cleaned to perfection every day. All staff were extremely helpful and I would highly recommend staying here.
Perfectly situated between the old town and Albufeira strip, so had the best of both worlds without walking to far. About 25 mins walk either way or 10 mins to old town down the beach. WiFi was good. View from balcony was lovely and you could hear the sound of the sea. Would definitely recommend this place.
My go-to hotel room in Albufeira because it's cheap and has everything you need: a comfy bed, working ac, working tv, warm water, some toiletries, and a balcony. It's near the center, there are restaurants and cafés nearby. Near the beach. It's nice and quiet.
Lovely hotel situated between the old town and new town. Nice 15-20 minute stroll either way or cheap taxi ride. Hotel was nice and clean, friendly staff, nice pool. Didn’t eat at the hotel so can’t comment on food. I would stay here again 😊
The hotel was situated a stones throw from the beach, 10 min walk from Old Town and 20 min walk from Strip.
Clean and set in lovely gardens. The best hotel breakfast we have ever had, fantastic selection and quality food.
Walking distance from old town Albufeira, which was our favorite area. Per centrally located so it was not a terribly far drive from anywhere. Very affordable. We did not use the pool, but it was nice.
Location perfect away from the noise of the strip and old town. But close enough to walk or a 3 min taxi ride for €4
Hotel food was excellent. Clean and friendly.
Pool area spotless.
the property is far away from everything. and the staff is anxious to book expensive trip for clients so they get a cut. for a 5 star hotel, this is not a good value at all.
