Paraiso de Albufeira Hotel
Albufeira, Algarve

Mr D Daniels, Birmingham

Mr A Tobin, Manchester

Gorgeous hotel, staff very friendly.

Miss C Drake, Downpatrick

The hotel was in a perfect location within walking distance to the old town, beach and the lively strip! Room had everything that we needed and was clean! Pool and activities provided were brilliant!

Miss K Owens, Worksop

Good sized rooms. Clean. Good location between old and new town. Friendly staff. But, lots of the facilities that the hotel advertises (ie the indoor pool, jacuzzi, some sun loungers, mats for sun beds, umbrellas) required us to pay more money per day. It was a little disappointing. Everything seemed to be a money making scheme. Including having only 2 members of staff at the main bar at 9pm when there were lots of customers (many being the all inclusive ones) waiting for a drink.

Mr S Kalter, Pontypool

It was a nice hotel, food was not the best but ok. The hotel could do with a bit of a facelift and when they say they've got wi-fi it would be helpful to say only really works in the lobby and satellite tv for English is only BBC World News and Sky News. But the staff are excellent and friendly and very helpful, pool was great, room was clean and would stay again.

Mr M Farragher, Birkenhead

Great hotel and staff from check in to leaving. Loved our stay here will definitely be going back next year.

Mr R Fitzgerald, Luton

Ms A Smith, Manchester

The hotel is spotless, the staff are so pleasant and helpful. It was our 3rd visit, we will be back. We had a studio room so very spacious. I cannot fault this hotel and it is situated in between the old town and the new lively town. For us the old town has such character and street entertainment. But the hotel is wonderful, wouldn't stay anywhere else, we will be back in 2018.

Mr I Enache, Canterbury

Room smells very bad. We kept the door open all the time for fresh air. We found broken glass on the floor (lucky we didn't have a child). Pools are nice but if you want a sunbed you have to pay for the mattress. Ok for the breakfast. If you need a hair dryer better take one from home because at the hotel you'll never get one. Location is 15-20 minutes from the Old Town, 5 minutes from shopping centre and supermarket.

Mr D White, Exeter

The staff were helpful and pleasant, hotel had lots of amenities, good pool area. On the downside the food left a lot to be desired, very little choice and very often cold. Sun beds free for basic bed but charged for any others and beach towels. Would not stay again.

Miss A Moore, Downpatrick

Very clean, great location, great staff, great pool area.

Mr S Owen, Crawley

Very central to the Old Town and the Strip, the rooms were massive, we were in a 2 bed apartment of which you could get 6 people in easy. The only downside and it is a very minor factor was that you couldn't get internet access in your room, you had to sit down in the reception area. Other than that, we'll definitely be coming back to this hotel, possibly in 2018.

Mrs L Parker, Thornton-cleveleys

Hotel is spotlessly clean if a little tired. Housekeeping staff are outstanding, we had maid service daily and bed linen changed twice during the 10 days we were there. The negative side of the hotel is that they allow large parties of hen and stags who show no consideration for other guests by creating havoc in the early hours. This included items of furniture being hurled from the balcony into the car park below and extreme noise when they were returning from their drinking binges. Unfortunately nothing at all was done by the hotel staff to stop this. This was our third visit to the Paraiso but after this visit we shall not be returning.

Mrs C Wong, Leeds

Mr A Isle, Scunthorpe

Paraiso is a top class hotel in every way.

Mr P Gray, Chester Le Street

The rooms badly need updating, they were very clean but furniture very dated, you have to put a €25 deposit down plus €3 a day for safe key. There were plenty of sun beds but you had to pay €2 per day for a mat to go on per sunbed. The pluses were location and all of the hotel staff who couldn't do enough for you to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

Mrs A Brownneedham , Mansfield

Excellent staff, good location, clean, regular change of towels, etc. Food is below average but edible. Free flowing drinks in A.I. Hotel is full of older people, felt like you were in a retirement home as entertainment was just a lovely pianist but played old, soothing, slow songs that put you to sleep! Pool was cold and unsupervised. There was no shower to use before or after swimming and no lights or lockers in the small changing room to see to get changed so I just went with a towel wrapped around my swimmers to and from my room!

Mr J Gibbons, Eastleigh

Nice hotel, easy access for Old Town and New Town. Great facilities including golf and indoor pool. The restaurant food is good value for money and great wines. We will book again.

Mr A Reynard, Keighley

Food cold. Hotel run down, needs doing up.
