"Fabulous stay, quiet due to the time of year but exactly what we needed. Only a short walk to the fantastic beach which has a scattering of nice restaurant's if you want a change from the hotel and 10 minutes in a taxi to the centre of Albufeira."

The Westin Salgados Beach Resort, Algarve

10/10 Excellent
"The resort was very clean and the staff were very friendly. It was down season and the resort was very peaceful. It was great to have a washer in the room complete with a drying rack. We were particularly impressed with the Manager who took charged and faced a bit of an issue head on. There was a miscommunication around some maintenance after a call was made to the front desk. The manager took ownership of it, investigated the issue and came out of her way to come speak to us directly. She was professional, listened, apologized and made it right. I work in the service industry and this really stood out to me in a positive way. I would recommend this location if you are looking to step out of the hustle and bustle of the other cities and still be close to the action! You’re a quick drive away!"

8/10 Good
"Overall had a Nice pleasant Stay, didn’t use the pool area but looked nice small area the sun beds seemed close to each other, Rubbish view we had from our room of the air conditioning units and staff car park so couldn’t enjoy the balcony due to the noise of that luckily couldn’t hear it in the room. Small ants seemed a daily occurrence in the bathroom on the floor, (couple of cracked floor tiles and needs re grouting) The corridors could be brighter and hoovered to be more presentable walking to rooms, The rug in room clearly never moved to be hoovered under. Mini Bar fridge the worse I’ve ever come across doesn’t get cold told this is normal and they don’t get below 12c so pretty pointless maybe invest in some actual decent fridges so guests can put water in them at least! Breakfast choices limited same stuff every day hot food not hot even the fresh stuff brought out was cold got bored of the selection a few days in glad didn’t bother with the evening buffet they were advertising imagine it’s equally poor Car parking advertised on Hotels website at €5 uncovered a night they are actually charging €6.50 a night it’s also advertised that it’s free in Oct but it’s not they are still charging, there is a free large car park down the road but for ease and security wanted to park car at the hotel"

"The property was great and a good location. Walking distance to many amenities and short drives to more touristy options. There was a large public beach close by and the pool was so nice (though it didn’t really have a shallow end). My only issue was the entire property is self stocking so when we arrived only a few bathrooms had things like soap and toilet paper, so we had to immediately run out. And there weren’t enough chairs at the outdoor table. We had an issue with the GPS finding the address, but we were able to figure it out from the images. Someone came by to check in on us this first day as well which was nice"
