Top International Sand Sculpture Festival Hotel Reviews

The Westin Salgados Beach Resort, Algarve

10/10 Excellent

"Very good"

Vila Vita Parc

10/10 Excellent

"Super hotel, staff and wonderful food! Amazing stay. Will return and recommend."

W Algarve

8/10 Good

"It a family resort with many children. Did not have the upscale nightlife as advertised"

Flamingos Salgados

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent complexe ! Appartement spacieux et très fonctionnel. Chambres parfaites, cuisine bien équipée pour faire « un peu » de cuisine. Je recommande !"

Marsuites B&B

10/10 Excellent

"Marsuites B&B in Albufeira Portugal is charming, tranquil, inviting. The staff are very gracious and hospitable. Breakfast is homemade, fresh and yummy, the coffee is very good. The entire property is clean, chic and well maintained. We are very happy that we have chosen this place to stay."

Vilalara Grand Hotel Algarve

8/10 Good

"The hotel was good but it’s hard to get around because the distance at least from our room to the beach/pool etc is quite long. Also, there’s a few restaurants but hard to get a reservation. The first night we got in we attempted to make reservations and some of them were not even available during our stay, and the first available time to eat our first night in was at 9:30pm. The beach service is almost non existent. You can be sitting for hours and no one comes to ask you if you would like to order something. The rooms are also a bit dated. Over all I would say that it is a nice stay but we were not blown away with the facility for the price we paid."

Regency Salgados Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Staff were great on the front desk. Especially the night guy who was really helpful. Restaurant staff need a bit of training but they tried. Good hotel. Nothing amazing but nice."

Wine & Books by the sea

10/10 Excellent

"Buffet breakfast was excellent, serving everything you would want. We didn’t have half board and used the Primadonna Italian restaurant and Cocos Portuguese restaurant over the 5 nights we stayed. Both were excellent. Plenty of sunbeds around the pool. After midday, the young lads from the bar were very friendly and helpful serving the poolside. Beach was 200m 5 minutes to walk along the wooden boardwalk."

Peralux

10/10 Excellent

"The accommodations were great and exactly what I was looking for during my family’s vacation. A little town that wasn’t a tourist trap and had all the accommodations we needed. There were multiple cafes close by and we were only 15 minutes to a beach. The pool was refreshing and needed as we visited during an early heat wave. We ended up extending our stay for 3 extra days with no problem. Local restaurants were also amazing. My only complaint was parking was a pain. We will definitely be going back!"
