Paladim & Alagoamar Hotels

Pleasant staff but hotel dated and badly in need of upgrading

The property has lovely friendly staff, good pools, good bars, a good central location, good breakfast...my only gripes would be that the bathroom (A111) was very dark and needs more lighting over the bath and shower and also the orange juice at breakfast tastes more like squash. As the room faces the road the balcony doors need more sound proofing.

Very nice property

Large room ,and clean. Nearby a shopping mall And restaurants. Free parking. Lots traveller from UK, There is swiming pool . Set you for the vacation mood Nothing to complain

Okay

Lovely place, will return again

The hotel facilities were good and the apartment was clean but very dated, could do with some refurbishment. Also, please note that they charge for the pool table/use of the games room. The hotel's location is perfect, short walk to the old town, beaches, and really good restaurants!

I had a spacious and well equipped apartment with a large south facing terrace, and good hotel facilities including a well stocked library with many English books and eight English television channels on the television in my apartment.

Neighborhood was nice and close to many restaurants. Nice area to walk around in.

very clean

Just a overnight stay and good

Nice property

The hotel is nice and great value for money. It's a20 minute walk to the old town which is beautiful. The only downside is the main road outside the front of the hotel. Saying that I would definitely stay there again it's perfect for families with teenage children.

Very friendly staff

L’emplacement est impeccable toutes les attractions sont proches, il manquait certaines truc dans la chambre entre autres la cafetière par contre l’accueil du personnel de la réception fut agréable.

Good facilities within our room for doing our own thing regarding food & drink with an excellent supermarket two mins away.

We only needed a room for one night. Accessibility was great, able to park right away. Our room was a suite with fully equipped kitchen and large sitting room. Large patio overlooking the beautiful pool. The rooms were clean. Sandra at front desk was very kind at check in. Breakfast at poolside was quick and just what we needed.

Good location between Old Town & New Town Great value

A wonderful stay in a large one bedroom apartment on the second floor for four weeks. The apartment had everything I wanted including a large south facing terrace and was well cleaned every day. For one week at the end I stayed in a studio on the ground floor which was also well equipped and maintained but very noisy. Music from the bar continued loudly until after 11pm and was very audible from my room and the noise of banging and scraping of furniture from the room above came straight through to my room. Generally a very enjoyable stay and I have booked to come again, but would avoid apartments on the lower floors.

Very friendly and close to the strip and old town lovely place to stay

Nice pool and good location

Quite central to shops and beach

location was great walkable to oldtown, grocery across the street , felt safe even at night .

Great location. Shopping center with a big grocery store next to it. Another grocery Pingo Doce a block away, this one was a bit more expensive, but nice. Historic town, 1 km away.

It was ok but nothing to be grateful for, the number of stars doesn’t match the service in my opinion,

A nice place in general. A bit old. They have live music every night in the restaurant-bar, so it is a bit disturbing, but it stops at around 11:30. Not so close to the beach. But the pool is great. For the price we paid, it is very good.

Lovely friendly hotel. Very clean and staff can’t do enough for you,also the food is very good.

Avoid... Better places around.. Location is good and Pool is great, rooms really dated and needing major reworks. Avoid road facing room.. Traffic noise is constant and will impact your sleep.. Dirty bath and show curtain. Rooms are not secure due to the dated roller balcony doors that don't properly close. Staff are pleasant and helpful. Food from restaurants was OK.

Fantastic stay, lovely balcony overlooking pool. Pool had plenty beds available. Didn't have food but couple we were with said it was lovely. Rooms big and had everything you need, cleaned daily . Location great , bout 20 min walk to old town and about 25 to the strip. Supermarkets, shops and bars close by. Would definitely stay here again

Very much like this apart hotel very convenient near of everything two supermarkets across the street and next door to hotel pingo doce and continente love the area lots restaurants to choose from and less them 10 min walk to the beach and old town .😎

The hotel was conveniently located next to a shopping centre however the construction noise there was extremely loud and went on until early hours of the morning making sleeping almost impossible. Soundproofing of the rooms was terrible and all night you could hear guests talking and slamming doors. Despite the hotel being nearly empty and no one moving into our room they wanted to charge us to check out a couple of hours later. Fortunately our next place allowed us to check in early. The rooms are large but old and the grouting job in the bath/shower is disgusting where they have just tried grouting over mouldy grout. No iron in the room, you have to pay a deposit to borrow one and the fully equipped kitchen has no washing detergent or dish brush or cloth to clean the dishes. No washing machine either although there is a beautifully kept and clean one a couple of hundred metres away.

Staff very friendly ,food and bear was good too

Great hotel , lovely pool

Very soft bed and nice large room to stay in. We had a balcony, kitchen and private bathroom which was super convinient. The complimentary wine was great. Too bad they didn't have a luggage storage anymore. The location was super good.

Staff are really nice and helpful. Room was clean, bedding was spotless. Very good. I would use again.

Just returned from a very nice 8 night stay here. Cleanliness good but the rooms are a little tired in their decor and could do with being updated. The pools were nice, the bar was OK although not many people around to use it currently, but by far the best feature of this hotel is the staff who were all superb throughout and always went out of their way to help. The food in the restaurant was excellent too ( I had breakfasts and dinner included in the price of my stay), including some really good local Portuguese dishes. It would be interesting to compare my late September / early October experience staying here at what is currently a very quiet time (due to Covid) with the same time of year minus the impact of the virus. For now though, I can whole heartedly recommend this place for a relaxing, quietly impressive hotel stay.

I like that they were residential vacation apartments right in the middle of town with good access to just about anything.

Nothing of any note all very good..any problems sorted quickly with exception of the TV.....we asked for an engineer to look at it ..nothing happened... We kept losing channels and sound

Very helpful staff hotel very clean close to all amenities

Good hotel facilities, nice large studio overlooking the pool comfy beds good TV coverage

Good sized home from home . Good location , warm and well equipped . Service excellent and food also. Nice pool area with very clean pool. Large Continenente supermarket next door sells everything you need.

verry clean well equiped and verry well located with bus stop right outside

The room was clean and spacious.The lady on reception was never nice.The hotel is formal in its appearance and lacks warmth.

Good size apartments, recommend pool view, clean, excellent food, friendly staff, central to everything.

The apartment needs updating. The bath was disgusting

Visited for 10 nights. An excellent hotel, very friendly staff, large open spacious rooms with balcony. Lovely pool areas, never overcrowded. Restaurant and bar had great selection of food and drinks. It's only a short walk to the beach and both the old and new towns. I would definitely recommend it. I was very happy with my stay and if I visit Albufeira again I would certainly love to stay here again.

Very accomodating. Service is great. Taxi arranged within few minutes everytime. The elavator is super quick. New towels everyday.

Receptionists are lovely and very friendly and helpful. Bar and restaurant staff excellent. Pool area is spotless and well maintained. Apartments are cleaned every day except Sunday. Balcony area is big. Loads of space in the apartment. Nice and quiet at night. The hotel has a no nonsense policy towards night time noise. No pool visitors during the night. Very well located between old and new town.

Great location, within walking distance of both old and new town close to supermarkets and restaurants. Staff friendly, pool area clean, room cleaned daily

Room was just ok, needed a bit of modernisation, grout in the bathroom was black & grotty. Had to make the sofa beds up ourselves for the kids as they hadn't been done when we arrived. Kitchen facilities were good. Location is great. Good choice of food & drinks at the pool bar, decent food at a decent price. Wasn't impressed at having to pay for a new room key when the plastic got a small crack in it... the key wasn't new & had obviously been used repeatedly before we got it, it just happened to break whilst we had it & had to pay for a replacement, NEW keys should be issued if this is the case! Free wifi in room & around pool. Supermarket very short walk away

Most of the staff were friendly, however some of reception staff were beyond rude. I am self-employed so have to make sure my computer and phone is charged at all times. They would not let me do this and would only give one met card despite sharing with a friend. They eventually agreed to give me another key card but I had to sign a disclaimer that I would not use the electricity whilst not in the room.

Property is ideally located for all round holiday 10 mins walk to escalators to town beach 10 mins to quiter area beach 15 mins to the strip very noisy bar club area. We could also walk 35 - 40 mins to marina. If you just want to bum around pool theres no fight for a sunbed and bar terrace is good. Lots of shops and supermarket just next door. Only problem its a concrete hotel sound carries we got woken at 8.30 every morning because of family with kids scraping furniture acriss thd floor and playing on balcony!

Staff were really helpful 😀 hotel was lovely and were it was situated was great too, 2 min walk to albuferia shopping mall. 10 min walk to the beautiful beach 😊and in the middle of the strip and also the old town which is close to the beach as well. The old town is a very relaxed and chilled out place to go it is a beautiful town with lots of places to eat a good place to chill out. So all in all a great holiday would definitely go back to this hotel 😃

Went with friends, had a fab time, staff were extremely helpful, it was in a great location, easy to walk to the strip and old town

The entertainment was poor we found a group that performed in other bars and hotels which were amazing so went to see them instead. They were called presumed innocent shows. They sing and dance. Good family entertainment

The staff at reception were very friendly and polite. The rooms were spotless.

Good location. Free wifi in apartments would be good.

Central between the Old town and the Strip. Pool and surrounding area clean and tidy

Lovely hotel good amenities in the area very easy to walk to old town and beaches and the strip

Excellent property, lovely large pools plenty of sun loungers. Really excellent breakfast, well worth paying the extra for it. Loud entertainment, went on until 12, didn’t bother us as children older but could be a problem if you have very young kids.

Great location halfway between both New & Old Towns (15 min walk either way)

The staff cannot do enough for u at this hotel if u have a problem the deal with it immediately

2nd time staying here.Lovely hotel,great location,studios spacious and pools and staff are lovely.

The staff were helpful and friendly nothing was too much the hotel was clean

The Hotel was more than we expected The photos on the website do not do this hotel justice. It is immaculate inside and outside and all facilities are on hand and the old town is about a 10 minute walk. We had an excellent time and have recommended this hotel to friends and family. We will definitely visit again in the future. Thank you to all the staff for their help and hospitality when we needed help with something. 😊👍😊

Very friendly staff . Hotel well located with a good bar. Would book again although bed was not as comfortable as expected. Would recommend a pool side view as traffic noise could be off putting for some people especially if there’s a road crash at 6 in the morning.

No complimentary tea, coffee, sugar or milk upon arrival in apartment. Only allowed 1 key card per room, this wasn't convenient when another member of the party wanted to go home earlier. Bin collection at 12:30am. Good view from apartment

Great location in between old and new town and taxis outside

Clean, and relaxed environment, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Staff at reception super welcoming and helpful and very quick to respond to enquiries. Stayed in Studio room with a street view and must say it was quite spacious and kitchenette well equipped for those self catering. Only complaint is the limited number of channels on TV and lack of Wi-fi in rooms. Nevertheless, the location was fantastic for access to beaches and the town centre, even by foot.

Stayed here before when wifi only in lobby and not free. Wifi in room as advertised was very poor, hardly functional on third floor.Lobby reception ok. Helpful, friendly staff, housekeeping about five days out of seven, great location, roadside room not noisy, good value.

The hotel was good and very reasonable

Good central location. I had a north facing room, but it was very cold the whole day as the aircon/heating did not work that well to heat the room. So, I changed for 5 euro per night to a south facing room. Sun all day and kept the room warm.

Well located; good size apartment; kitchen area was quite basic; friendly staff

Fabulous stay hotel spotlessly clean ,staff were very helpful and friendly ,would definitely stay again .

VERY WELL SITUATED APARTHOTEL,WELL EQUIPED APARTMENTS,THE STAFF ARE VERY EFFICIENT AND HELPFUL. HOTEL FOOD AND BEVERAGE PRICES REASONABLE. CLOSE TO SUPERMARKETS BARS RESTAURANTS, SHORT WALK TO OLD TOWN.

First of all i would not rate the hotel 4 star , would give it a 3 , Check in was easy and staff were friendly , We were givin a room on the ground floor above the bar which was to be a pool view but Couldn't see much of the pool because of the canopy over the bar. Room was very clean but very noisy as situated above the bar and there was a large stag party staying so didn't help , could here everything from next door and upstairs and oh boy that couple had a good time if you get what i mean. We had 2 single bed as i was staying with my daughter, Beds need updating they are very low to the ground and the bedding is outdated. Kitchen facilities were good and clean big bathroom but it was starting to look tired . We were offered a change of room in the morning but we were only staying 3 nights so couldn't be bothered with the hassel of re packing and moving . Hotel is ideally located next door to large supermarket clothes shops McDonald's at kfc , Beach is 10 min walk down hill and old town 15 min walk down hill plenty of nice restaurants and bars in the old town . If i was guaranteed a top floor room i would probably stay at this hotel again

good location, shopping center is next door with big supermarket. But the room facing pool is way too loud, the bar beside the pool opens to 2am every day! Don’t recommend if you can’t bear with loud music.

Friendly staff. Good breakfast. Good value. Beds need an update

The hotel was exceptional, clean, tidy and spacious. There was also two pools so there were enough sun beds for anyone that wished to use these facilities. The pool side bar was fantastic and the bar was really good with evening entertainment. The food at the restaurant was to of a very high standard and we did not have one bad meal their - I would definitely recommend trying the restaurant as everything is cooked fresh and presented well. The location is good as you are about 15 minutes away from both beaches, the old town and the new strip. Plenty to do and I would definitely come back

This hotel is very well located, right next door to the Albufeira shopping complex and only a 10-15min walk to the Old Town. It’s an amalgamation of two previously separate hotels, but it all works very well. You get to choose from two large, almost identical pool areas. The apartments are spacious enough and spotlessly clean. We had a generous balcony with a pool view. As we were on the top floor, we also had a sea view over the rooftops! The staff, from reception to restaurant or bar were all excellent and very professional. The bar area and games room annex are great and the restaurant was excellent. We ate in the restaurant on two separate evenings and the food and service were excellent on both occasions. The only downside for us was the occasional stag group weekenders! On both weekends of our stay we had large English stag parties staying, who were very loud, drunk and obnoxious for the most part! One guy even exposed himself at the side of the pool, in front of many families with young children! Totally unacceptable behaviour! Perhaps the hotel could be a little more discerning about taking these type of bookings. I realise, commercially, this may not be too palatable for them, but if not, it could put off families from returning to what is otherwise a terrific place to stay. Thankfully, the place was big enough to largely give these stag parties a wide berth, for the most part.

Overall an excellent holiday Central location to the old town and the strip

Our first time staying at the Paladim and I must say it was a very pleasant stay. The check in on arrival was very easy and Isobel at reception was engaging and informative. We booked a pool view room on a self catering basis and our room ( 110 ) was perfect. Large living area and spacious bedroom and a balcony so big it was accessible from both rooms via sliding doors. Two pools to choose from at this now combines complex and with plenty of space and beds available. The bar area at the paladim was fantastic, with a large seating area outside with T.V's available for all world cup matches. The prices for drinks at the bar was very reasonable and with a great variety of choice on offer. Overall we were delighted with our stay and will book to stay at this complex again in the near future.

It was in a great location. And most of the hotel was great. The two huge issues were no WiFi in rooms, and no sound proofing at all. I could hear people talking 3 rooms down the hall and snoring from the room above.

Really big apartments, great English speaking reception staff who also arrange all your trips!

Amazing stay! Couldn’t fault anything service from staff was excellent apart from the security guard at night he was very miserable and not very helpful. Size of the apartments was excellent, all applications you could wish for and very clean! Location is excellent, 10 minutes walk to old town 15 to the strip but loads of bar and restaurant en route. Would definitely stay here again!

One point I would like to raise they only give you one door key, which is nonsenses if your sharing a room

Great location between the beach and the strip, 10 min walk away from both. I liked this area because it was fairly flat on the main road as I have walking difficulties. Shopping centre with supermarket next door, another supermarket across the road. Taxi rank close by, bus stops for pick ups to parks across the road. Hotel friendly, maid service 6 days a week, good WiFi coverage. Food in restaurant was of good quality. Entertainment in the evening at the hotel. Taxi to and from the beach €3-4 Euro if you didn’t want to walk. Little train goes on a route around Albufeira, but can work out expensive as a mode of transport, and it’s a one way route. Beach is last stop, so you are quicker walking towards the beach.

Nice spacious apartment centrally located between the old town and the strip. Two pools, maybe could do with having one heated in the winter. Food and drinks reasonably priced, breakfast was good, and entertainment some evenings. Would highly recommend

Good hotel ,nice room with lovely pool ,top quality restaurant

Isabel on reception was so helpful and aways remarkably cheerful. also Anna Paula and her help in restaurant wonderful ful. BUT chef was poor, ... in over 40 years of experience, i know of no other who would place cold mise plus pre prepared food on a cold plate.. it was very poor, amature and with only 2 couple in the restaurant I was amazed he sat disinterested at a lap top.... over two hours.(possibly stock ordering!! ) but It was as though actual customers and placing food hot on a hot plate was just too much trouble for him... it was an insult at at around 70 euros an actual crime. handy Dotto train down to the sea...... many good restaurant in vicinity....

Room very good, pillows were a bit hard otherwise a very enjoyable stay

The only criticism I would give is the lack of internet in the rooms.

very good hotel! the only thing that disappointed me was not having internet in the rooms, and the rooms were not cleaned daily!

Hotel is a reasonable walk between the old town and more lively bars the other way. Very lovely beaches near by. Swimming pools not heated so unable to use them which was a great shame. Pool tables and teenager activities can be costly. Outstandingly clean. Good food.

We have stayed at both the Paladim and Alagoa before but now they are 'one' it seems better. The staff are all very helpful, the food was really good. Just a pity that the outside pools are not heated in the winter! We would definitely come again at this time of year.

My wife and I stayed here Oct 30 to Nov 1 2016. This is a good clean hotel with great free shuttle service to airport and train station as well as to Aeroville shopping mall. The buffet was more than adequate and the room satisfactory It was priced reasonably through Hotels.com The staff was extremely helpful and courteous to us non French speaking Canadians We Recommend this hotel

Hotel itself was great, pool setting lovely, bar & staff v nice & situation of hotel was excellent but rooms dated & beds very uncomfortable

Brilliant location and hotel staff were excellent, cheerful and extremely helpful.

had a very enjoyable few days stay, good location, not far from the Old Town, which suited our needs as we had a young child.

Hotel was decent, but definitely not a 4 star rating. Bed sheets were dirty and ripped, there were stains round the end of the beds and when complained to reception I was met with a sarcastic 'anything else' and nothing done. Room amenities are basic but as expected and pool area was decent. Although there are signs up everywhere telling people they cannot reserve sunbeds, this is not enforced.
