Rocamar Exclusive Hotel Spa Adults Only

Albufeira Old Town

10/10 Excellent

Modern hotel in a fantastic location. The staff were always friendly and happy to help. We had bed and breakfast and the food was excellent, a great choice in the morning and we had lunch a number of times because the food was lovely and reasonably priced. We had a land view room which was absolutely fine, but we will try to get a sea view the next time we stay as the views from the front are delightful. Thank you to all the staff for a memorable stay.

I visited on my first ever solo holiday so was quite apprehensive given some of the negative reviews. The hotel, staff and location are fantastic. I was booked in bed and breakfast and the buffet breakfast set me up for the day, no need for lunch later. The hotel is very relaxed and only a few minutes walk from beach and town. I will deffinately be returning next year. The hotel is for adults only, so no kids to annoy relaxation. The views are breathtaking and service by the pool great. ...

I was a bit dubious about the Sau Rafael Suite Hotel after I had read all the reviews but was pleasantly surprised on arrival.

The buffet was not huge, then again it is not a big hotel, but it was of good quality and there was sufficient variety. The a la carte restaurant was very nice, although the service could have been slightly better in there. The afternoon snacks were...
