Hotel Indigo Albufeira by IHG
The hotel staff are friendly, cheerful and helpful. The rooms are clean and well equipped. Breakfast was very good with a large choice to suit all tastes. The nearby nightlife goes on well into the early hours and can be very disturbing if you don’t want to be part of it!

Had a terrific stay in March. A beautiful resort in a nice location. Really enjoyed our time, especially the view, the breakfast buffet, the bar (including the amazing bar staff!), our room, and the overall level of service. Would recommend if you're wanting to stay in this area. Only negative is ...
