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.

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.

The location of the hotel is a good half hour walk to the old town and fifteen minutes to the small local beach it's very hilly so not great for those not so mobile . The breakfast is quality but missing a few extras, the orange juice is lovelly though . I wouldnt return to this hotel though as too... More

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
