Overall Comments: In the middle of nowhere, but nice rooms with great beach. More like an apartment complex with some management. Room: Excellent, apartment style, without any kitchen utensils, but well furnished and modern. Great bathroom with huge spa bath. Location: Very secluded and quiet. 15 minute taxi ride to nearest town. Facilities: Limited…one restaurant (good food though). Poor gym... More

Spacious luxury houses, nice pool area; located in the albandeira beach, 8 km from carvoeiro town. A bit isolated, 5 km or so through a woods' path. Overall, recommended. More

We were here during the end-of-year holiday. The place was for sure not fully occupied. The appartments were the best value we ever had. Each appartment had a large living room with seats, a television, a dvd player (!), next to that a smaller kitchen with a large table, two bedrooms each with a televeision and a large bathroom.

A perfect location for relaxing and escaping the stress of modern day life. Away from the hustle and bustle of the commercial world, this was honey to the bee!! Surrounded by extremely thoughtful and polite staff, nothing was too much trouble. From the spa to the restaurant, every request was efficiently executed. We visited a local restaurant which served typical... More

Travelled with my husband and son in April. Overall a good holiday in very roomy and clean suite. Arrived at reception- not what you would expect from 5 star. Simple desk with two members of staff on duty (not the friendliest of check ins). As we arrived in the evening I was convinced we were the only guests as the... More

As previous reviewers have said the spa is in a perfect setting, we found it easily with a map bought on Amazon. Lots of lovely beaches/ towns to visit within 30 minutes drive. The spa was extremely quiet (we were the only guests when we arrived, with others arriving for the weekend) Staff told us that it is always quiet... More

Me and my boyfriend stayed in this resort in April 2010 and enjoyed our stay very much. Location is perfect, the hotel rooms are beautiful, very clean and spacy. The staff was so lovely and helpful always with a big smile on their face and very nice to all guests. We just couldn't ask for a better resort. We enjoyed... More

Suites Alba was a great stay for us. The location - where the Algarve coastline is at his best - was superb. There is simply nothing between the resort and the stunning coastline besides a 2 minute walk. However.. the resort is quite remote from other hotels, villages, restaurants (15 minutes drive). Our large garden terrace had seaview (thanks for... More

Having looked high and low on the internet for a place to stay over the year-end period in Southern Europe (mainly Algarve, Porto, Cascais or Southern Spain) I stumbled across rather positive remarks on Tripadvisor regarding this hotel. Let me put first and overall: great place. Very positive points are the comfort level, space, extended breakfast and above all the... More
