Usually when a new resort opens there are gaps in their processes. This was absolutely the exception. The management, lounge and bar staff, and the house keeping crews had everything dialled in flawlessly.
Grazie millé to the front of house and Abrigado to the entire team! Well done. Planning our return. Asap.

“Tolle Hotelanlage mit 3 Pools und genügend Liegestühlen!! Nähe zum Strand und Golfplatz (ca 10min Laufweg), große Zimmer (Junior Suite) mit Balkon. Tagesausflüge nach Lissabon (2,5std Fahrt) und Sevilla (2,5std Fahrt) möglich und lohnt sich! Leihwagen direkt vom Hotel buchbar. Einige Restaurants in der Nähe zu Fuß zu erreichen.”

“Five star property geared towards adults, lives up to its reputation of cleanliness, comfort, and luxury. The grounds are beautifully maintained and well landscaped. There are 6 outdoor swimming pools with an abundance of lounge chairs, umbrellas and daybeds- no need to reserve. Beach access with a lovely boardwalk from the hotel to the beach. The hotel has been renovated and is exceptionally clean. The only improvement would be the restaurant service. Though the food was very good, the service was extremely slow and unorganized. I would highly recommend. Lovely friendly staff. ”

“Das Hotel sieht von außen modern und gepflegt aus. Die Anlage ist ausreichend groß und der Strand befindet sich direkt dahinter. Die Lage ist ruhig und etwas Abseits, daher sollte man einen Mietwagen nehmen oder ein Bolt Konto haben.
Leider findet im gesamten Hotel kein Service statt. Zwar kann man am Pool übers Handy Speisen und Getränke bestellen, allerdings sind die Wartezeiten lange, da es für insgesamt drei Poolanlagen nur einen einzigen Kellner zu geben scheint. Pro aktiv wird gar nichts angeboten. Der "Service" am Pool wird auch bereits vor 18:00 Uhr komplett eingestellt. Aus anderen 5 Sterne Häusern kenne ich das anders. Dort werden z.B. bei Ankunft am Pool kalte Tücher und zumindest Wasser gereicht.
Wir hatten das Pech, dass während unseres Aufenthaltes zwei der drei Poolanlagen ein Hygieneproblem hatten (Wasser färbte sich grün), was jedoch in den Tagen behoben wurde.
Die Zimmer sind ausreichend groß, aber spartanisch eingerichtet. Es gibt keinen Tisch oder sonstige Ablagemöglichkeiten und keine Möglichkeit nasse Badekleidung oder Tücher zu trocken. Im Badezimmer liegen von Shampoo, Spülung, Duschgel (alles fest installiert) und Bodylotion keine weiteren Amenities wie z.B. Wattestäbchen aus. Diese können aber an der Rezeption abgeholt werden. Die Zimmerreinigung ist inkonsistent. Mal werden die Handtücher nicht komplett gewechselt, mal werden benutzte Gläser nicht abgeräumt und getauscht. Das Housekeeping kam oft recht spät am Tag. Insgesamt das Geld nicht wert.”

“Pool was green and not safe to swim in. No signs placed from staff to prevent or warn patrons and their kids from going in. Rooms were very clean but only cold water for my family's showers during half my stay with no explanation. This should not be the standard when paying top dollar for a 3 bedroom suite at a "5 star" resort. ”

“O hotel é muito bom, novo, com um café da manhã excelente, área fitness excelente. As piscinas são muito boas, embora em algumas horas do dia a água é fria, então poderiam ser climatizadas. O serviço ainda precisa melhorar nos bares, mas como o hotel abriu a pouco, faz parte.
Também seria interessante incluir um serviço de praia, com guarda-sóis. O acesso à praia é fácil, uns 7min de caminhada, a praia é bonita. Ao lado do hotel tem uma reserva com lagoa e um campo de golfe, onde se pode fazer uma boa corrida ou passeio.
A estrutura para crianças também precisa melhorar, e o kids Club é cobrado à parte. O que poderia ser incluído.
A área fitness é sensacional. Muito boa. Os restaurantes do hotel são bons com preços na média elevada da região. Mas se tiver carro, pode ir fazer refeições na região que tem ótimas opções.
O quarto é amplo e espaçoso, limpo diariamente. O banheiro é pequeno e a divisoria do quarto para a sala dá pouca privacidade, mas fora isso, estava muito bom.
Estacionamento normalmente é na rua, encontramos vagas todos os dias, mas se precisar tem interno com custo à parte.
Em suma é uma ótima opção que atendendo ao que mencionei pode se tornar excelente. ”

“The property was clean, and the staff was genuinely friendly and accommodating, which we appreciated. However, I was disappointed to learn that the hotel is not actually located on the beach — there’s a bridge you have to walk across to reach it. Additionally, it’s quite a distance from the Old Town of Albufeira, which made exploring the area less convenient.
The dining options on-site were very limited, and what was available was surprisingly expensive given the mediocre quality of the food. As for entertainment, the resort offered very little — just two singers, one on Friday and another on Saturday night. The Friday performance was okay, but Saturday’s was honestly hard to sit through.
Had I known the property wasn’t truly beachfront and lacked amenities and entertainment, I likely would have chosen a different location. It’s a decent stay if you’re looking for something quiet and minimal, but not ideal if you’re expecting a full resort experience.”

Growing pains
8/10
Shanna · 2025-06-11
“This hotel has just reopened as the Westin about a month ago so they’re going through a bit of growing pains as they establish new operations. For example- the kids club was open but there’s no AC so it gets quite hot and they don’t have proper sign in papers yet. I messaged several times ahead of arrival (and upon booking) that we need a crib but they didn’t read the messages and we had to wait a bit after checking in for a crib to be delivered. It’ll be great later this summer but for now expect a bit of growing pains and patience with a very kind staff. ”
