Hotels near Shopping Avenida da Liberdade, Albufeira

We booked this trip as an alternative to a city break in the UK, we were missing Portugal after the last couple of years absence. The cost via Thomas Cook was cheaper with flights and 3 nights here than 3 nights in UK, so we booked. We upgraded to a superior seaview room, it was well worth it, we were blown away with the view, the size of the room and the overall serene vibe to the hotel. We were in the Inatel Praia which is located a short walk from the main Inatel building which is where the pool area is. We did wander across there and the rooms we could see with balconies looked appealing too. You can tell by the photos which building, as the Priai building is all done in pale blue/turquiose decoration and furnishings. The room had 2 single beds pushed together. The bathroom area was like one large galss cube with a band of frosted glass for some privacy. It gave a very modern feel. There was a safe and a small fridge with a flat screen tv on the wall. The large sliding doors out onto the balcony and the sea view was what made this room special, it was so nice to sit and watch everyone walking and playing on the beach and listening to the waves in the evening. Breakfast was in a clean, bright room with doors open onto a terrace so you could take your food out there. It was an adequate breakfast,. Each day there was a variety of bread rolls, croissants, pain au chocolat, cakes, (you had to be really early to get the pastel de nata). There was sliced cheese, a whole camembert to spoon out the centre, brie, tomatoes, soft cheese and pate. Fresh fruit which was lovely and fresh, we had melon, pineapple and huge grapes, strawberries. There were yoghurts, cereals and mixed nits, dried fruti etc. If you like a hot breakfast this possibly would dissapoint you as there was fried eggs, thick slices of buffalo tomato, beans, scrambled egg , bacon and hot dog style mini sausage. My husband did try these but they were not very warm and not very tasty. I enjoyed my breakfast each day and to be honest it made a nice change being forced to choose something other than traditional hot breakfast. There was also 2 varieties of bread for toast and jam, fresh fruit juices, tea and coffee, with yoghurt drinks too. We got the feeling there were not a lot of English speaking staff there, but everyone we encountered were very friendly, smiley and polite. We prefer not to have our room cleaned everyday and left the do not disturb sign out, we got a letter by the door saying they had not done the room as our sign was out but to request any items we were short of and they would bring them to us, nice touch we thought. The location is great, we are a coulple in our 50's and value some level of peace and quiet and like to seek out the hustle and bustle rather than be among it, a very short walk from the escalators and you were there, very convenient. The Watefront and the beach bar are very close and served lovely cocktails. So all in all a great hotel to lay your head wi

Stayed at the Paladim in September 2024 as a couple with easyJet Holidays. It is a great option for a cheap holiday. Although dated, the apartment was clean and the kitchenette was well equipped with fridge, hob, utensils etc. It was great to have the choice of 2 pools. The pool area was ok with sunbeds available throughout the day although you could not always get a parasol. Having tables at the sunbeds would have been nice. We stayed at the front of the hotel which not only didn't get any sun but also was on a main dual carriageway type road. The noise meant it wasn't pleasant to sit out on the balcony or even have the doors open. Additionally, at night the road was incredibly loud and sleep was disrupted. We asked about upgrading to a pool view but it wasn't available for the week we were there. Bar, restaurant and pool bar were all nice though and staff we came across were always friendly. The best part about the entertainment was that it was stationed inside so if sitting outside you could still hear it, but also talk or play cards without being disturbed. I would consider staying again but only in a pool side room if it was a good price.

Gorgeous hotel, very close to 2 beaches, walking distance to *****, but not so close that you can hear all the parties! Room was lovely, cocktails very good, staff very friendly & welcoming! Only thing I would comment less that 5/5 is there was almost no vegan options at the breakfast, which was a shame as we had paid for breakfast included and I couldn’t eat much! Anyway other than that amazing hotel, will definitely stay here again!

so this hotel is ok,the staff are mostly friendly but extremely efficient we had a couple of problems while here but were sorted out almost immediately. The room was very small compared to the photos we saw(very good photographer) it was clean,there were a few niggly things for us,no tv in the bedroom,which was a pain as the sitting area was very small and uncomfortable and on holiday we like to watch tv in bed at night,that’s just us though so not a huge thing for most people.The sofa was very low and very hard.my husband is 6ft 6 so a problem for him. The room was a bit dated for me probably needs a bit of an uplift. It had most things you would need,but as I say a bit small though.The bed was comfortable.I am probably being a bit fussy. We didn’t eat here in the evenings at all but the breakfast was cold I did here a lot of people saying that,however there was the usual choice of food for breakfast in a hotel. It does sound like I am moaning about it,but it was well situated for us and we did have a good few days here. The evening/night manager was very nice,had an excellent sense of humour which I would imagine in that job you would need especially dealing with guests like us. Thank you to the staff for looking after us so well

Stayed for 4 nights in a self catering apartment which was great! I was abit apprehensive about this hotel as the price was very cheap, so wasn't sure what to expect however was pleasantly surprised with the room which was very clean and spacious. Staff were friendly and helpful. We didn't use the pools as water was too cold in April. Location was good, was walking distance to the old and new towns. We booked a boat excursion to explore the caves and dolphin spotting which was absolutely amazing and a must see!

Nice hotel for seaside vacation. There are many restaurants around that are not expensive. It’s cheap to go to Spain. You can eat and drink without stress. Don’t waste the opportunity

Beautiful hotel which was spotless clean. As an all inclusive booking the only access to food post 6pm was evening meal and felt missing access to snacks in the evening. Very relaxed and laid back setting where nothing was a rush. Maybe some.music in and arou d the pool.area during the day and access to more evening entertainment with games or alternative to jusy the band that were playing would have been good. Overall a pleasant stay and loved the room size and walk in shower

Amazing place, 2 big bedrooms we booked and they were huge. Clean in general. Had all kitchen and catering amenities. Staff was kind. For the price it was a steal. Highly recommend this place. It’s about 12 min drive to albufeira center. There’s a Aldi in 5 min drive very handy. The place has a common swimming pool we did not use it as it was still a bit chilly and we were tired too. Lot of parking around inside the villa. The only downsides I can say and they are minor the shower could be slightly better spray that’s it. 5/5 for me.
