This was my 7th visit to Albufeira, so I'm quite confident choosing locations. This hotel is close to the airport, the Strip, the Square in Old Town, and Vilamoura ( all by Uber).|This hotel has many positives, but also many negatives.....let me explain.|I booked with Booking.com. Prior to travelling, I had good email communication, and the hotel supported two rooms next to each other.||Negatives|€200.00 deposit required on each room to cover any issues, I had checked all of the information sent to me, and this wasn't detailed anywhere, I'm aware from previous visits to Albufeira hotels This happens, but they tell you it before you arrive.||No throwing balls or using inflatables in the swimming pool. So basically, if you want to have some fun in the pool or relax on a lilo, go somewhere else, utterly ridiculous.||For my 50th, we went out wearing Sh#t Shirts, I was dressed up as the Ibiza Boss ( a surprise by my friends). I must stress absolutely nothing we were wearing was offensive. As we entered the bar for a quick beer before heading out, we were stopped and asked to leave the hotel area. The lady informed they have to take into consideration the impact on other guest's.||We politely acknowledged this request without issue and stood outside waiting for an Uber. Whilst doing so many guests were taking photos of us and passing good comments.|So if you are considering booking as part of a Stag/Hen party, don't bother.||The positives ||We booked All Inclusive, all meals were excellent, the variety of alcohol & none alcoholic drinks was excellent.||The rooms were excellent. The pool area was great. The bar is excellent.||The staff were very pleasant.||Great hotel, the management who are making the above stipulations need to take a refresh on current policies
