Big resort, but doesn't feel that way

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 2 weeks ago
Adriana beach is a big resort, but if you walk around, it really doesn't feel that way! The only way you can see it's so big is at the restaurant. I'm amazed by how all the people all walk around each other to get their food.

Food is good, after a week it becomes a bit boring though. If you don't like fish, you have maybe not that much choice, but I believe that's something that is bound to Portugal.

The rooms are good, only a bit noisy if you have 'loud' neighbours at late times. Beds are perfectly big and soft.

We sat all week at the small pool, it's quieter there. Always had beds, sometimes we started over on the grass but always could be at the pool eventually. Read that's it's quite cold, and it definitely was the first days, but later, probably due to the warm weather, it became better. Pool bar and staff did their best, but lines sometimes were long because of the cocktails they had to make.

Know that the shop has not much choice, mostly newspapers and souvenirs and a very limited choice of snacks/candy.

The gardens are beautiful, the beach and cliffs in the surroundings are beautiful, so that is already a reason to go there!

A walk to Vilamoura is about 40 minutes via the beach. A lot of teracces and bars there (and very much UK-focused)

We had a good relaxing week :)
Date of stay: September 2024
Room Tip: Get a reservation at the Grill restaurant, but check if it's the meat of fish evening 😉

Dear GoPlaces821518 .

Thank you for your detailed feedback!

We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful gardens, the beach, and the cliffs surrounding Adriana Beach. It's great to know that despite the size of the resort, it didn't feel overwhelming and you found the quieter areas, like the small pool, to be relaxing.

We appreciate your comments about the food and understand that variety can sometimes become repetitive. We'll take your feedback into account as we work to enhance our dining options.

We also note your observations about the noise from neighboring rooms and the pool bar service. We’re sorry for any inconvenience and will work on improving these aspects. Your input regarding the shop’s selection is also valuable.

Thank you for mentioning the scenic walk to Vilamoura and the pleasant week you had. We hope to welcome you back for another relaxing stay!

Kind regards,

Marloes Homan

Excellent location for a relaxing holiday with all that you want to do: beach, swimming, sport, sleeping, entertainment, good food. Everything is organised just to enjoy the staying. Big rooms and bathroom, very clean, large terrace, private beach, with free towels and chairs.

Room tip: If you want a beach chair in the front line, you have to be there around 8 a.m.

We travelled as a family of 4 kids age 6 and 10. We had a large superior room but we were a bit squashed, felt it was more for 2 as we didn’t have enough room for clothes etc, but saying that we were weren’t in it that much. Rooms were immaculate and having them cleaned everyday was lovely. We spent most of our time at the quieter pool which was lovely. The larger pool is noisy, so nice to have another option. The beach is beautiful and we spent a couple of days there. It was a great that there was a lifeguard as the the waves are strong.
Food was fantastic. My only issue was the day food need covers on as there were flys about. Having a child with an eating disorder was a worry, but they do plain pasta every night and fruit all the time, which was a huge relief for us. There needs to be a bit more kids options I think. It’s always helpful to have pizzas there as a back up! But that’s just a personal issue. The coach into town is great, we went in 1 day for a wander, but the kids just wanted to get back to the pools!
The gardens are beautiful and the staff work so hard and are a credit to the hotel. I agree with a previous comment about the slabs being uneven, as my boy did trip and fall. So maybe something to look at.
On the whole we had a fab time and would happily return. Thank you Adriana

Room tip: Be aware that you cannot walk to town. Take water and snacks to beach Not all drinks included

Dear guest,
I'm glad to know that, overall, you had a great stay.
I understand the issue of space in the bedroom; really, with 4 kids, it can be a challenge.
I will pass along your comment about food options and the need to cover food so they can improve those details.
We really appreciate your time and hope you visit us again soon!
Sincerely
Sofia Rodrigues

Am currently staying at this hotel, day 10 for me and my wife. This hotel is vast in size probably take around 15 mins to get to either side. Hotel grounds our immaculately well maintained. Room is also to a very high standard. Buffet restaurant food etc. Excellent. There our two swimming pools the larger one close to reception has a very good entertainment schedule for children and adults. Very lively entertainment staff continually doing different things daily pool parties etc. the second pool is much quieter and tranquil, ideal for the older generation like my self. The beech is very nice there our steps to reach it. But the views our outstanding. I am currently staying in block Z. Which is probably the furthest away from reception. Buffet etc. The only minor problem for me, as I am an early riser. You can only get tea coffee etc from down by reception (24hrs) availability.. but the distance to walk and get back to your room yes coffee cold. Apart from that. This hotel is definitely 5 Star 🌟 and Staff unbelievably excellent 👌. A good hotel you get good photographs. A Great hotel you get great memories. This is a great hotel. Well Done AP Adriana to you all

Room tip: Top tip. Hotel provides a bus to Vilamoura around 30 mins to get there. You can walk it in 40 mins stunning views of the cliffs etc

The resort was lovely and clean. The evening entertainment was geared toward the whole family and the pool was a good temperature to spend the day swimming. Use of the jacuzzi was a nice bonus, and the restaurants provided a nice meal choice. We found the food was always hot and there was a good variety.

When we arrived our room was ready half an hour late, but management gave us a lovely bottle of wine to apologies. Rooms were tidy and spacious, which made living with the kids more enjoyable. Bathroom was a great size also.

It was a magical family trip and we hope to return soon.

Family of 8. 4 adults. Two young children and two teenagers. X 3 rooms.
We arrived late at night and warmly welcomed and given a late night snack. Then transported by golf buggy to our rooms.
The rooms spacious and clean and beds made daily and fresh towels daily. Two large bottles of water provided.
The food was amazing in the buffet restaurant with plenty of variety and the staff welcoming. Food provided all day if you wanted and always fresh.
The pool area was excellent and fresh given daily.
The beach was beautiful only a short walk away.
The entertainment staff are the best thing in the hotel and plenty going on all day. The entertainment at night was mainly geared toward children which was perfect for us.
Would definitely return.
