The food, staff and facilities are absolutely brilliant. A particular mention for Victoria at reception who was absolutely wonderful for our entire stay. As was a blonde lady on reception but I didn’t get her name. The hotel is of a very high standard and every detail is considered. However, both this hotel and the adjoining Albufeira playa are one and not separate as the different names and placements on their website suggest. This means there are an absolutely humongous number of young children and families about the entire property. We were one of very few couples without children and we found the overwhelming numbers a little tricky to relax in amongst. They even were in abundance at the roof pool (sky bar) despite there being no child friendly facilities up there. Because of this, we upgraded to prestige which meant we could use another rooftop area. The pool here is a small infinity pool (more of a plunge pool than a swimming pool) but this transformed our holiday. It was quiet and peaceful up there, giving us the much needed chance to relax and read in peace. I’m certainly not adverse to children but the number at this hotel was just too much to deal with. In fact, I think that’s why they were everywhere - the parents were trying to escape the overwhelming number of other people’s children, too. Having said all of this, as always, Iberostsar do what they do so well and I can’t fault what was on offer, from food, to entertainment, to customer service. It’s important to add that the beach is also stunning and very shallow, calm water. Take some bread under/next to the boardwalk and see all of the fish! We shall return to Iberostar next year but perhaps to and adults only hotel.
