Salgados Dunas Suites, Albufeira (Portugal) - Deals & Reviews

Oceano nearby. We greatly enjoyed the balcony, it was beautiful. One could dine at restaurants such as Aji Oriental Flavours 15 minutes away. Proximity to the airport, just 25 km.

Amazing location by the beach and the palm trees everywhere made it feel very tropical. The suite had interconnecting doors so the whole family were together and the rooms were very spacious. The restaurant had a great menu and the breakfasts were fantastic.There were 9 swimming pools and all were fresh water so no nasty smelling chlorine!

There never appeared to be enough staff around to serve at the reception and bar and many spoke no english which was frustrating. The outside eating area and bar were not yet completed which was very annoying as you could not enjoy the food around the pool however this will be completed soon so would be better in a few weeks.

Very good location next to the beach. Open spaces and large room sizes. Very convenient for familys as there is the option to add a kids room to the main suite.

Hotel facilities still under construction. Service and food quality not according to the price level. Poor ratio price / quality.

Pools, location over the beach and quality of rooms

Hotel staff still unexperienced and slightly understaffed

The location next to the beach is excellent. The size of the suites and living room is appreciated.

The services are not proper of a five star hotel, such as not having any kitchenware in the kitchen (silver ware, plates, napkin, nothing), which it is not expected when you see the pictures available on line. The only available ware, were tea cups but the cleaning services did not wash them during the 3 day stay (nor were there available detergent/sponge to wash them). They did not renew the tea bags or water either. Many services/facilities were not working properly: elevator, hot water, etc. The pool and spa area is not safe (slippery, very dangerous, children and adults may fall, the pool does not have signs indicating the end of the lane which can be very dangerous when swimming). The temperature of the water was cold.

Very close to the beach.

After checking in I had to leave the building and drive my car into the basement floor, to a parking lot the same style as a medium-class residential building. After taking the lift, had to go through a balcony and a hall with very dim light to get to the room. The room was very poorly furbished, almost like an Ibis. There were no tiles on the bathroom walls.There was no tub, only a shower. Large balcony, but with nothing on it. The balcony overlooks a zone with many small trees that give no shade, almost like a tree nursery. To have breakfast (until 10 AM!), we had to cross the road to another building. Choice of food at breakfast was very poor. Some employees are very kind, others indifferent or even hostile. 5 stars is overrated!

Room and reception, parking and internet access great.

No other facilities unless you were prepared to cross over to other building!!

comfort and modern style of the rooms

no wifi in room, breakfast only untill 10:00am

The view is fantastic.

The room was to big, it was cold and we had to put on the airco to make it hotter. The airco made a lot of noise. The television couldn't be used out of the bed. Opening the door to the room was everytime difficult !!! We had to go for breakfast on the other side of the road.

We liked only 4-5 min to walk to the sea, pools are also nice - but no poolbar:((. Breakfast and meals in generally i would not recommend. Service is very slow, offer and quality not so great. We liked space, but not ´Saldagos Viilage´. It is really very big resort, not solo hotel!!!!restaurant on the beach is very nice, beach is great - big, long, you can walk till Armacao...

5* which has hotel are not really realistic.We expected when hotel is new opened, there will be everything perfect.Ya, our suite was very big,too large living area with kitchenett - and nothing to through away your garbage,by check-in we heard they will not clean kitchenett - 100% they did not - but service in 5*should be on this level.Bathroom is too small - when you want to go to shower, either you damage WC or you have to push door to shower,push you to wall to close shower door.To hang towels, or put shampoo on some regal you can dream, there are in whole small bathroom only two hangers - so you can decide - towel, big towel or bath robe. We ordered room with garden view - first one was with restaurant view so we immediatly changed.

The closeness to the beach, the excellent swimming pools and surroundings, the modern installations and décor. The service was excellent as well. The area was quiet and ideal to rest. The beach was also excellent.

The rooms did not have enough furniture to leave bags and personal belongings. Not enough showers or bathrooms in swimming pool area. The food was rather standard and could be of better home made quality.

No basic equipment in kitchen area. Eg bottle opener or knife

We were very impressed with the location of the Hotel, its beautiful grounds, outside facilities and swimming pools, plus its closeness to the beach. We were also extremely impressed with the restaurants and the quality of the food, in particular the inclusive breakfast.

We booked a double room, but were allocated a room with two twin beds pushed together, which in our opinion is a twin bedded room, not a double. This should have been made clear in the booking details - we were not offered alternative 'double' accommodation at the time of booking. We were also extremely disappointed that there was only a shower, not a bath, that the lighting was extremely limited and that there was a deficit of power-points. We would also have welcomed tea and coffee making facilities in the room, which are available in most other hotels nowadays.

The Staff were very friendly & efficient. The Pools were excellent, plenty of space , with the selection of 9 to choose from. Garden area well maintained ,& what a fantastic view from our suite overlooking the Beach.The housekeeping was of a high standard, with fesh bed linen & towells on request.The Breakfast was buffet style with a great selection to suit all needs.We will certainly return.

The suite was very spacious , with a very large balcony, we did feel that the Bathroom could be a little larger.

Suites are big and well appointed. Pools are fantastic and lots of sunbeds to chose from. Pool bar food OK, but not enough choice.

Lots of Noise from adjacent rooms (poor construction), no hotel sunbeds at the beach (only paid from nearby concession), poor Spa service (I have booked a treatment and when arrived found they have booked on the next day which I was no longer there), public access to the beach means it is more crowded than expected.
