Algarve Casino Hotel  

The hotel was lovely, the staff friendly & helpful. The poolside gardens & terraces were beautiful, overlooking the beach and best of all easy access to the beach. The maids came to the room twice daily and towels and bedding were changed every day. We will definitely be returning

It is very well located facing the sea. All of the staff were friendly and did their jobs well. Very nice rooms well serviced throughout our stay.

The view and sound of the sea. Excellent 3 piece band in the restaurant.

Restaurant was overpriced for the quality of the food.

Attentive and helpful staff. The public rooms in the hotel and our room were spotless. Our suite had two bathrooms, a large sitting room and a large private balcony with a sea view. Some of the main restaurants were within a few yards from the hotel and accessing the beach just took a few minutes. The hotel is located in the quieter end of Praia da Rocha, a few minutes walk from the harbour.

The fixtures and furnishings in the room, whilst being very comfortable, clean and well looked after, were in need of updating. The fitness centre required a wider range of equipment.

great location, reception area and bar area over looking pool and beach.

The location is close to the beach with good views. The pool area and gardens are kept to a high standard. We always book a superior room with sea view and balcony and find it to be of a good size. The Maid service is very good. The sunset bar veranda is a great place for a drink day or night with a great view of the beach and pool. Free WiFi is also useful.

Poor service at the pool bar / restaurant, very difficult to get service at most times. Poolside service is hit and miss, it depends who is on as to whether you get any service. Some staff are very good and some are very lazy. This has been the case every year. The quality of the food at breakfast is good but it is poorly cooked, very often the scrambled eggs were undercooked, as was the bacon. Also every year we find that after two or three days that we don’t want the breakfast, as it is very limited. We have booked this hotel through booking.com for the last five years and this was the first time we had been asked to pay for our stay upon arrival. Every other year we have paid upon departure. This did not overly concern us as we knew what the Hotel was like, had it been our first time then we would have been unhappy to pay up front feeling that the Hotel had our money no matter what.

view of the sea and it's location.

The location excellent, spacious rooms, friendly staff, breakfast excellent, offers special rates, facilities and golf arrangements at special promotions

The decore is outdated but excellent condition, the pianist in time-warp of 50's but excellent for that era. Excellent for piece and quiet depending on time of year. We stayed Dec.18-21 And extended our visit for Christmas as weather perfect sunny all day. On the down side if you are elderly and find walking difficult this is not the location as getting to the beach difficult - need transport

The rooms were light and spacious. Breakfast was good.

The food served restaurant is unbelivbel awful. Hard to think of a time when we had food so bad.The service and the staff so were very efficient and nice.

Very relaxing, no crowds at the pool, great location and pool area is lovely

While the hotel was decorated nicely the rooms didnt come up to the same standard, they were basic enough, I am from Ireland and have stayed in many 5 star hotels her and there is a big difference in the quality of the room

The location is wonderful and there are plenty of great restaurants nearby. The pool area is superb and the supply of towels for the beds was a niece touch.

Few small things. The breakfast was excellent but the water for the tea was never hot; it was fine in the coffee jugs. Annoying that you had to queue for the breakfast. Internet facilities very poor and often not working. Hand dispenser not working on four mornings and could be placed in a better situation. The service at the main bar was just not good enough and we only used it once

We enjoyed being looked after by a wonderfully caring and attentive staff in all areas of the Hotel. We enjoyed the sea water pool, offering a bracing swim without having to battle with the surf and waves. The immaculate gardens and surroundings make for a very relaxed ambience, even if Laura the Parrot, wants to attract your attention! Our daily breakfast in the Restaurant was most enjoyable, with an impressively wide choice of buffet. When available, the main restaurant offers a very impressive a la carte menu. We had a great evening at the Casino Restaurant, with its stunning Cabaret Show. A very suitable venue to celebrate a special date during our stay. This was our second visit ( previously 2008) and will certainly be returning again!

The Hotel does not have a Library. The TV sets in the rooms could be updated, with a better range of channels for those rare wet days! We would have preferred a double bed instead of 2 singles. Towels now getting a bit hard. Our room ( 830) balcony had no shade from the Sun or parasol. In warmer months, this could pose a problem
