Conrad Algarve

I’m Lifetime Diamond and Hilton enthusiast and our stay here was unbelievable! I’ve stayed at Conrad’s all over the world on vacation and the staff here makes the difference! They are so down to earth and want your stay to be the best! Everyone from guest services to housekeeping to the lifeguard at the pool. Pros: The staff Large rooms Breakfast buffet was delicious (free for Diamond) 2 pools- 1 quiet and one family friendly Many restaurants and market within quick walking distance Cons Lack of food options at pool other than sushi menu Housekeeping/concierge* (see below) *My only negative to our stay was calling housekeeping/reception/concierge for anything. This took several calls over 2-3 hours to get a blanket and other things delivered. We got takeout one night and I asked concierge where I could get for forks and plates. She was insistent they would bring to room. After 15 minutes I went down to the restaurant and they jumped over backwards to get it for me. It never came at all. Guest services called the night before we left thanking for our stay and asked for feedback which I told them all of this. At the end of our call she said they would send a copy of our bill to the room to review because of our early departure and after 3 hours it never came so I went downstairs. I was happy to do it myself at first and the constant insistence for them to do and then not do was alarming time after time.

Forbes awarded this resort “One of the Finest Properties in the World 2025” and they didn’t get that wrong! It is the MOST REMARKABLE property we have ever stayed! Everything is beautiful and very well maintained, the Staff is obviously highly trained to make you feel like you are the most special person, the food is amazing, and the drinks by the pool are a pleasure!

An excellent hotel in a great location with friendly and efficient staff within easy walking distance of restaurants and shops and with outstanding facilities including a superb swimming pool and a sperate pool area for families with children. The bar area has been recently refurbished and is a great place to have a drink in the evening and the restaurant offers a wide selection of meals including a great breakfast.

This is our 8th stay here. We always book a King Grand Deluxe Room Pool View ( the best except for a suite) and are normally allocated a room on either side of the atrium eg. 501 /402. This time we were given 422. It was lovely but smaller, with a pool view blocked by a huge tree. We did question the allocation but they confirmed it was correct ( I would in the future request one of the rooms with a direct view of the pool near the lift, as I felt a little cheated). That aside, the room is spotlessly clean, housekeeping twice a day, huge comfy bed. Breakfast is lovely, plenty of variety. A fantastic warm welcome from Goncalo, the Concierge, who remembered us from last time, takes a natural interest in what you are up to, a real asset to the hotel. Ricardo at the pool was so attentive, always a friendly smile ( though the hotel has a huge problem with Brits bagging sunbeds at 7.30 am, then not turning up till 4 pm). Most are covered in towels by 9 am. It did lead to a few confrontations which wasn't ideal. (They need to sort this out). The Spa is great, Sonia gives a fantastic massage and tailors it to what you want. They have done up the bar.... and wow what a transformation....loved it. With a fantastic outside seating area now. A great new addition.

This was our first visit to the Conrad as recommended by friends. We spent 5 nights in Deluxe Twin Pool View (room 318) and the room itself was spacious with a lovely bathroom area. Loved the pillow menu too! Balcony was huge with a couch and two chairs. The sun shines on balcony from the afternoon to sunset. Housekeeping was good in general but simple little things let it down. Inconsistent with fresh glasses and water replenishment. But apart from that housekeeping was good. We spent one evening in the room (door was on DND) and received an email from reception asking if we would like turndown service which was very good service. Both pools are very nice. All beds were reserved early at the top pool (adults only). Beds at bottom pool (family pool) were always available. We were provided a complementary small carton of water at the pool each morning. A 2L bottle thereafter will set you back €7+service a bottle. Water was available in main lobby but always got taken away later in the afternoon…. Not sure why this wasn’t available 24/7? Breakfast was good. Nice seating areas indoor & outdoor. A good spread that you would expect for breakfast with plenty fruit and fruit juice available too. There are bars & restaurants opposite the hotel in a little shopping area. I recommend booking dinners in advance as they were always very busy around 8-9pm. Tony’s & Cheeky Pup worth a visit. Overall we were very happy with our stay and would return again :)
