Hotels in Sesmarias, Albufeira

Breakfast buffet is super invincible and delicious! Especially fruit selection is especially great! The hotel will take the initiative to help parking is free. Hotel dinner is not recommended for single or buffet, the taste is very general, the ingredients are not too fresh. The sea view room has a beautiful sunrise view of the sea on the west side of the sunrise. Also saw the double rainbow! The on-site walking trail is also very convenient to walk to the sandy beach of Sao Rafeal. In the morning, it is empty and there is no one, just like enjoying a private beach. The only downside is that the spa is charged separately by number of people, and the free swimming pool also has to buy a swimming cap to enter.

This 5-star hôtel is quite new so they are still putting the finishing touches on the private garden going down to the beaches. The service and the food, the swimming pools and amenities are already on par with other 5-star I've been to. A lot of the food is local (avocados, salads, fruits, fish) and is soooo good. The views are stunning from the rooms, the swimming pools, the Sea Sky outside lounge and the Paper Moon restaurant... Overall what I like the most is the feel of being surrounded by nature with the hotel's garden, greenery everywhere and the relatively small height of the buildings... Thank you to the staff for this memorable week in December, sun everyday and temperature around 20° during the day...

We arrived around 2, we had been aware check in would not be until 4, but as we would be leaving early on departure day, they invited us to have lunch and stored our luggage. They told us to come back for around 3 to collect our all inclusive wrist bands, when we returned we noticed that our luggage had been taken out of storage, we pointed this out and asked if room was ready. Reception staff then proceeded to have an argument in Portuguese with each other, which was pretty rude, I would have expected more discretion with their argument, not a great first impression. When the room was officially ready, the Porter was lovely and friendly and helped us with luggage and talked through how the air con worked etc, which worked perfectly during our time there. We stayed in a one bedroom suite with a stunning sea view, on the second floor, which also overlooked one of the three pools. Massive rooms, with plenty of storage, the lounge was made up with two single beds for the kids (9&11) comfortable, still plenty of room for a table with four chairs and two decent sized arm chairs. TV on wall and decent sized fridge with ice box. Fresh bottled water supplied daily. Main bedroom; bed huge and super comfy, off bedroom was a decent sized bathroom, twin sinks. The only issue here was that it was a little dark at shower area and the shower gel and soap ran out half way through holiday. Two decent balconies one off lounge and other off bedroom. Separate shower room with toilet was a little small but functional. Housekeeping came each day but it was a little hit and miss, floor was not cleaned each day, grit was left on a floor for a couple of days. Bathrooms could have been cleaned better. Dirty glasses not taken away for days. Bedding was changed if you left a card on bed. We could have complained but we just wanted to get out to the pool! Pool areas really great, one mainly for adults, as quite deep, toddler pool, and children’s pool which wasn’t too deep, when you check in you are given cards to swap for beach towels. Plenty of sun loungers, we found a couple broken but still plenty for everyone, we never had an issue. Pool guy who swapped the towels was friendly. There was also a pool bar, staff also lovely and friendly and hot snacks alongside salads, cakes etc available around 3pm. There are a few snacks before 3 too. You can take snacks back to loungers if wrapped in a napkin or if you prefer you can sit at snack areas, plenty of seats. Drinks poured generously for adults and for kids, there are slushies and ice cream. My daughter (9) loved kids club, staff super friendly and encouraged everyone to get involved but not overall so. Water polo once a day turned out to be very competitive with adults and children playing again each other. All good fun! Breakfast was lovely, great selection for everyone. Again the one wee thing was that fruit juice was obviously watered down on our second day before that it was lovely. W

To say this place was awful is all I can do after my personal experience there recently, I certainly would never book to stay there again or recommend it. I booked a double room in their Guest House part of the complex. * The Reception is only open certain hours. You are supposed to be able to contact them outside those hours but I had to call them a couple of times and got no answer or help. It’s really impersonal and there’s no one around when you need them. * There is no facility to make hot drinks in your room. There was a bottle of water. You have to go to the breakfast room where a vending machine serves terrible quality drinks. You don’t want to have to walk around the hotel first thing in the morning to get hot drinks. *Room 521 was right by the door into reception and was noisy all night with people banging through into the corridor to get to their rooms. * The space immediately outside of the double windows in my room opened out on to the terrace for people sitting having breakfast. This was horrible and gave no privacy into the room at all. Thankfully it was raining but had it been sunny I would have had people sitting right up by my only window in the room. * They have waterproof mattress protectors on the bed which made it feel like you were sleeping wrapped in tin foil it was so hot and it crackled loudly every time you moved. * Pillows were either absolutely enormous and too big to put your head on or so flat and small they were useless. * No bathmat provided for the floor while showering, bit of a safety concern and I had to use a pool towel. No where to hang towels in the bathroom when you’ve used them…it was all just lacking in thought. * No waste bin in the bedroom * Horrid yellow lights in the room * It’s very dark and depressing inside. * Bright light over the door to highlight where the door was in the night but it lit the room up through the night making it hard to ignore and sleep. * Breakfast is only available from 8.30am which is very late. It was poor, stale bread and dirty jars with cereal in with a very poor selection of foods. Overall this was poor quality, grim and depressing and absolutely not worth the cost.

Great return flight on Jet2. Flight arrived at Faro airport around 09.30 a.m. and we were directed to a coach for the hotel; with 2 other couples, we were the last passengers off the bus at our hotel at 12.20 p.m. (a journey almost 3 hours. in a taxi it takes 45 mins). When we presented ourselves at reception we were told that the rooms were not ready, and would not be available till 3.00p.m. ????This hotel has 111 rooms + 10 suites ?????? We (all three couples) were pensioners, and had been up since 04.00 that morning for our 06.45 flight from Newcastle. We were tired and I simply did not believe what the young lady on reception told us. We were not offered any refreshment. When we returned to reception at 3 p.m., I asked the same young lady if she had any rooms available. She laughed and said ”No”. I did not smile or laugh. After such callous & unkind treatment, I vowed to find as many ways I could not to put any of our money into this hotel. There are no kettles or any way of making tea/coffee in the room, which was otherwise fine. Although we made a direct request to the hotel (through the travel agent) for a disabled (walk-in) shower, the hotel was unable to accommodate our request. In the event, the shower was manageable, and the room + balcony was very pleasant. Fortunately, we had brought our own travel kettle + tea/coffee/ milk. The food (half-board) was overall good, with lots of salads & fruit; however, even a bottle of water at dinner was charged for. We paid for a taxi back to Faro airport, 40 mins cost Eu60. this enabled us to grab some breakfast (07.30 start).

The problem with this hotel is the management. The hotel is very big and the route sign is not clear. I was lucky to find the room after walking for 30 minutes. And the breakfast information is wrong, the parking information is wrong. These problems should be improved through management, and good results should be obtained.

We are glad that we booked this hotel. The beach view was breathtaking and remarkable. Not to mention its excellent location where the old town cobbled street is just right in front of the hotel. We particularly enjoyed the breakfast where they offered great selections and indeed one of the best breakfasts we've tried in our Portugal trip. Hotel staff were mostly friendly, especially those in the restaurant, except for the housekeeping staff who refused to give us extra drinking water on the next morning even before we checked out.

All very well, the best thing is the location where it is located, it is located in the best place in Albufeira in the whole center around nightclubs, bars, a luxury, the area after breakfast very well, chocolate cakes, fruit, squeezed juice, bacon, the super mattress comfortable has air conditioning the room flat screen and balcony with views of all the mello of the party with soundproof glass a luxury I will return 😃😃

Our stay at this hotel was wonderful. The hotel was clean and our stay went quite well. Also, would like to thank Rosemary and her colleagues who were in the entertainment team. Our young daughters had a wonderful time thanks to the entertainment team. We felt that the location of the hotel was convenient. It is close enough to the beach as well as a short walk or drive away from the Old Town. Great experience overall.
