Guest Reviews
Location
Many visitors appreciated the perfect balance the location strikes — close enough to enjoy the hustle and bustle of the vibrant areas, yet situated in a peaceful spot. The central location means guests can walk to many attractions, including the beach, which is a 15 to 20-minute stroll away. Additionally, there is a shopping center and a large supermarket just a short distance from the hotel.
Guests also highlighted the on-site facilities and attentive staff, contributing to a pleasant and comfortable stay. The views from the hotel were remarked as pleasant, further enhancing the overall experience.

Breakfast
Dinner
However, there are areas for improvement noted by some guests. The lunch at the self-service restaurant reportedly lacked variety and timely replenishment of food. There were also mentions of the dinner buffet not meeting some guests' expectations and suggestions that the restaurant staff could benefit from better training in communication skills to enhance the dining experience. Despite these points, the availability of shops for both lunch and dinner around the hotel offers alternative dining options for guests.
Rooms
Housekeeping services are consistently highlighted as excellent, ensuring that rooms are cleaned daily. The staff's friendliness and the convenient hotel location also add to the overall positive experience. Some unique features, like the private bungalows with lovely decking and big windows, offer a more secluded and peaceful option, away from the busier apartment areas.
However, the accommodations are notably outdated. Many guests mention the need for significant renovation and updating, citing old-fashioned décor, worn-out furniture, poor lighting in bathrooms and broken facilities such as air conditioning and kitchen units. Issues with room maintenance, such as leaking showers, chipped tiles and dirty areas, are also mentioned. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel's large and well-equipped rooms provide reasonable comfort and good value for money, particularly for those who prioritize space and functionality over modern aesthetics.
Beds
Despite these issues, there are a few positive mentions. Some guests found the beds to be comfortable or at least good for the price. A few reviews noted that some of the mattresses were modern and of better quality and there were mentions of spacious rooms contributing to overall comfort. However, these positives are overshadowed by the prevalent concerns regarding bed comfort and quality.
Maintenance of the bedding and the conditions of sunbeds also received criticism with guests often finding the sunbeds in short supply. Overall, the bed quality at the hotel seems inconsistent with a pressing need for upgrades and better maintenance to enhance guest comfort.
Cleanliness
However, numerous reviews highlight significant areas for improvement. Many guests criticized the cleanliness of various parts of the hotel, including the rooms, bathrooms and communal areas. Specific concerns included dusty underbeds, dirty bathrooms and a lack of thorough cleaning in general. Some guests also reported issues with maintenance, such as old and worn-out furniture, malfunctioning equipment and even encounters with cockroaches.
The pool area, in particular, received numerous complaints regarding its cleanliness with some guests noting that it was not well-maintained and sometimes filthy. The hotel’s corridors were also frequently mentioned as very dirty and in need of better ventilation and upkeep.
Despite these issues, the cleaning staff did receive some acknowledgment for their efforts, though many reviews indicate that the overall standard of cleanliness left much to be desired for a 4-star hotel. Improvements in diligence and attention to detail in cleaning practices would likely enhance the overall guest experience.

Gym
However, some guests find the cost to use the gym to be on the higher side, describing it as very expensive. There are also a few comments about the gym not being open at certain times, such as August 2021 and mentions of the indoor pool being under maintenance. Despite these occasional setbacks, the gym's quality is predominantly appreciated, suggesting it is a worthwhile amenity for those willing to cover the additional fee.
On the whole, the gym at Hotel Apartamento Paraíso De Albufeira is seen as a valuable, though costly, facility that enhances the overall stay.
Pool
However, despite the positive remarks, the pool area does have its drawbacks. Some guests report issues with maintenance, such as missing tiles and broken pool equipment. The indoor pool and hot tub also received some negative feedback with mentions of high chlorine levels and cold water temperatures making them less inviting. Cleanliness and upkeep are areas that could use improvement, as some guests found the indoor pool and changing rooms not as clean as they would have liked.
The poolside bar and entertainment options add to the enjoyable atmosphere, providing snacks and drinks to complement a day by the pool. Overall, while the pool facilities at the hotel are generally well-received and contribute to a positive holiday experience, attention to maintenance and cleanliness could significantly enhance guest satisfaction.
