Golden Club Cabanas

The hotel staff were very disrespectful to us . One lady recorded me and my kids without permission and threatened to csll the police on us because we did not leave the changing room on time , my kids were naked . Besides that , the sofa bed that they had provided for us was broken and it was a very tough uncomfortable 4 nights of sleep . The reception had extended the time for us to checkout at 1 , as soon as it hit 1 , the staff had shouted at us to get out . It was quite unsafe as we were given a ground floor room and rhe balcony door was faulty and did not lock. when we had notified them about this they had made us wait the next morning for it to be repaired.

We booked a bowls holiday for 23 bowlers with Algarve bowls for April 2025 and golden club hotel cabanas is our base .As We hadn't been to here before my partner and myself decided we should have a holiday here to check it out again David from Algarve bowls sorted it all out for us .We arrived at Faro airport in September 24 David picked us up and Our holiday began . On arriving at hotel we were greeted by reception staff with smiles and friendliness and couldn't have been treated better .The apartment was beautiful and clean ,the beds were comfortable and plenty of space .The apartment was cleaned daily .The bar area was lovely and clean, the drinks were very palatable and the used glasses were cleared and not allowed to build up on tables as we've seen happen in many all inclusive hotels we've stayed in .Again the bar staff always had a smile and were always polite and happy to serve us .The animation team performed lovely shows and very nice and professional .Also there was some shows from artists from outside the hotel .The pool areas yes there was two pools a quiet one and a lovely one were the animation team entertained the clients .The team never stopped all day and evening their energy was unbelievable as was their teamwork .The spa and indoor pool again cleanliness and lovely friendly staff .The restaurant outside seating area and inside seating areas again were kept clean and tidy .However the food though was hot and varied though not a lot of choices we never left the restaurant hungry or satisfied remember golden club is a three star so don't expect Five star good .We played bowls at the local bowls club Pedas De Raina beautiful greens and a very friendly club We had a trip out to other greens and took in a trip to Spanish border with David Algarve bowls .We had a trip to Travira travelling on the local bus the BUS stop over the road to the hotel it was a lovely place and we'll worth a visit .The boat to the beach again it's only a few mins and the boat has a gang plank excellent for anyone with a little mobile problems to walk up into boat and not having to climb in .The guy very helpful .The village is only 5mins walk away a boardwalk with plenty of benches to sit on and wile away the day plenty of bars ,restaurants so if you don't wish to eat at hotel you'll certainly won't starve .Irish bar at the far end of the board walk love music couple nights a week and to be fair the food was nice there .you can also book boat trips water sports ECT at kiosks along the front .There is a shopping area you can go to by the local bus around 20mins away . Oh yes I forgot we did have a massage at the spa at the hotel this is a must go on treat yourself your on holiday . We were really happy and thoroughly enjoyed our trip and can't wait to return in April .All I can say is hotel golden club cabanas is a three star cheap and cheerful hotel staffed by really nice people .We loved it .
