Conrad Algarve

Pros: The check-in process with Monica was absolutely amazing…she went through everything and even showed us the features in our room! All of the staff that we encountered were very friendly and welcoming. The room was absolutely gorgeous with a huge balcony, and the grounds are stunning! We had a garden view and enjoyed sunsets with the beautiful trees and the hotel in golden light. The hotel was in a great location and was easy to get to from Faro. It is also right across the street from a shopping plaza with lots of restaurants, a grocery store, etc. All of the restaurants that we ate at off-site were great, and an easy walk of less than a half-mile. Cons: The biggest disappointment was the food at the hotel. It was just fine, and the food we were able to get right across the street was better and much more reasonably priced. If you are willing to walk, our biggest tip would be to explore outside of the grounds, as we really enjoyed our meals elsewhere. Self-park requires you to navigate the entire way around the hotel. Highly recommend taking advantage of the complimentary valet instead. Given the price, we would likely look to stay somewhere else if we returned to the Algarve. However, our stay overall was nice and we wouldn’t discourage others from staying by any means…just with the caveats listed above.

The Conrad Algarve is a fantastic family hotel. We booked a large suite for 7 nights which basically converts to a generous size two bedroom suite. So our two young children (aged 2 & 4) shared a bedroom. Our super king size bed was one of the best beds I’ve slept in. It’s a very well run hotel, the staff are excellent and have clearly been trained and coached well. We will most likely return next summer as it strikes a good balance of being great for kids and adults. It’s not one of those hotels that can feel overrun with children (I felt like that after staying at Sani in Greece two years ago). Only two recommendations for improvement: 1. My wife and I both felt that the water in the outdoor swimming pools was too cold. It meant you couldn’t stay in for too long. I don’t think they are heated pools. Not acceptable for a 5 star hotel in my opinion. 2. Whilst we had really enjoyable evening meals in the main restaurant (by the pool) - we ate there 4 out of the 7 nights - I felt the menu was over complicated. Often a sign of a chef who lacks confidence or is trying too hard to prove a point versus relying on classic flavour combinations. We had to ask for simple bespoke dishes (e.g. simply grilled octopus or sea bass). This restaurant could be a major attraction (my favourite poolside hotel restaurant is The Orangerie at the Excelsior Vittoria in Sorrento, Italy - I would encourage the manager at the Conrad Algarve to take a look at it as a benchmark of what great looks like). In summary, we had such a great time with our young family we will very likely stay again. If they can improve the temperature in the pool then that would be great 🙏🏻 Thank you to all the amazing staff for a wonderful stay.

We had a brief but lovely stay in Conrad this month and enjoyed the amazing facilities, service and location. Beautiful, calm and relaxing, perfect to recharge your batteries. The staff was amazing, very caring and professional. A special thanks to José, at the door, always kind and with a positive energy, welcoming back a smile or making sure you are ok before you leave. Thank you José!

The Conrad Algarve is a special place. The staff are fantastic, the rooms are of a very high standard. The pools, spa & gym facilities are great. The hotel was full but we always had sunbeds & there was no overcrowding, excellent breakfast too

Hands down the best hotel we have ever been to! Absolutely amazing staff and beautiful hotel. The staff at the pool bar were brilliant (sorry, can't remember names). The service was outstanding and we will definitely be returning. Only wish you opened your bookings further in advance!

Amazing stay at the Conrad- can’t wait to return! This is the hotel that keeps on giving!!!

Loved this hotel! It’s beautiful! The staff is very helpful and are always smiling. I would like to mention Adolfo at the front desk, Ankit at the restaurant and Goncalo They were very welcoming and gave us good information. We really want to thank them for their hospitality. We got an upgrade being a diamond member and the view from our room was spectacular! We will be coming back to this property. Thank you.
