We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel at the end of April. We took a last minute trip to Portugal and this 5 star hotel's affordable rate pushed us to book in here. The room was spacious, clean and the bed very comfortable. My husband even forgot his phone at the hotel and they sent it back to us... More

Just arrived home after a break at Cs Rafael Suite Hotel. It was a very nice hotel. The staff could not be more helpful and polite. They bent over backwards to help us as we had booked another Cs hotel, the Cs Dunas Suite Hotel, which on our arrival was closed. They telephoned our travel agent in the UK to... More

On the face of it I should be writing an excellent review but there are a number of less than perfect items that make this hotel just average. Firstly the room, or should I say suite, was at first site excellent. Two balcony's with sea views, two flat screen TV's, huge bathroon, second shower room, more than ample wardrobe space,... More

I am a little bemused by some of the reviews stating how far the hotel is from town. It's a 35min walk to old town and 5 mins to a lovely beach. Just stayed here for 4 nights for the third time, it's very good and service is excellent...although checking in is a little laborious but that aside the hotel... More

The hotel itself was not too bad but the location seriously let's it down. We walked for about an hour through not very nice area's to get to the town. There is a hotel bus to take you there but that itself shows how far away the town is.

Although we visited out of season so the hotel was a little quieter, the staff were friendly, breakfast was fresh and the hotel was ideally located walking distance from both Albufeira Old Town (45 minutes) and the Marina (10 minutes). Only next time I would maybe like to be a little closer to the beach I cannot fault the hotel.... More

I stayed here with my boyfriend in June 2012 and I could not fault the hotel in any way. All the staff where really kind and helpful and would help all the guests as much as they could. The town is a 10 minute taxi ride away, yet you can walk it in around 30 minutes. I have been many... More
