it was quiet and safe and clean, my biggest complaint is that you pay $350 a night and you don't even get a beach lounger or umbrella, you have to robbed by the beach people for an umbrella and beach chair. This should be provided to resort clients.

Nice hotel. Did not like the public beach/umbrella rental policy. For a resort of this caliber I expected to have access to an umbrella without paying a large sum every day and not have availability sometimes. I also would have liked to have a cocktail bar at the beach instead of having to walk up to the pool to get a drink. The breakfast was great, the other restaurants were ok. We were given a free drink voucher upon arrival and tried to use it several times and several different bars/restaurants and were either told we couldn't or were told we could not get the beverage we requested (a basic cocktail). Some staff were very helpful, others were slightly rude.

Kiddie world- NOT for couples.

This is not a five-star property. The spa facilities were under construction and the pool, steam rooms, sauna were all unavailable, very disappointing because the pools were packed with young children and the hotel has no adults only pool. The food quality and service in the restaurants was good, but hard to enjoy a meal before 9pm with so many screaming children. The hotel should have disclosed the spa under structuring. We did not use the beach facilities as there were so many people. Luckily, we found some day activities so we didn’t have to stay around this hotel too much.

Amazing!! Hotel was exactly as advertised. The location was perfect for a relaxing getaway but within a reasonable distance to the tourist spots with a shuttle offered. We had breakfast each morning of our stay which was fantastic with plenty of options. The pineapple coconut juice was delicious and the self serve cafe machine was something we had never seen before. Restaurants on site with beautiful ocean views were delicious. Would definitely stay again if in the Algarve.

We stayed two nights at the Grande Real. It was okay but not amazing in my opinion. I felt the staff was not as friendly and accommodating as I am used to when staying at resorts. Some staff members were annoyed with our general questions and requests. This included desk staff and restaurant staff. The restaurants were inconsistent, not having food items we were told they would have - and a lot of it was sub par food and really expensive. Everything also closes pretty early so at night we felt the resort was pretty dead. Beach area was nice and pretty, but pools were small and bombarded by families with kids. We enjoyed ourselves more outside of the resort truthfully and would likely do a different option if we returned to Albufeira.
