Hotel Baia Grande

Insgesamt schönes Hotel, große Zimmer mit schlichtem aber schönem Design! Der Rest des Hotels brauchte eine neue Einrichtung, die zu den Zimmern passte! Die Gegend ist ruhig mit dem Strand in der Nähe! Um die Sauberkeit zu verbessern, bemerkten wir bei unserer Ankunft mehrere tote Mücken an der Wand, die hätten gereinigt werden können, waren es aber nicht!

Excellent hotel - stayed here as part of an Easy Jet holiday at the end of September 2024. First impressions - grounds and reception immaculate, modern & sharp decor. Friendly & helpful staff. The room was large, clean and well kitted out. Powerful shower & lots of storage space. Large, comfortable bed with lots of pillows. The balcony was really spacious with wicker chairs and table. Indoor pool, sauna and jacuzzi. Large curved outdoor pool and there was always plenty of sun loungers free. We went half board - the breakfast was excellent - bacon, eggs, fruit, cold meats, bread, cereals. The evening buffet was also really good with different themes every night - huge selection of salads , main courses and desserts. Live music in the piano bar was also really good. The other guests were also very friendly and not the sort of people who would be late night ravers. After about 10 - 10.30 everything was peaceful. If you go out of the hotel and turn left there are beautiful cliffs within 1 5 mins. I would also recommend exploring the marina and the old town. Top tip - take an Uber from the hotel to the marina and walk from there (c4-5 Euro). Finally I would recommend the caves / dolphin tour. Overall 5 out 5 - highly recommend

Another amazing stay in this great hotel. The peace and quiet suits us greatly and we love returning here usually twice a year. The breakfast is varied and plentiful buffet style. Rooms large and comfortable beds. A big thank you especially to Dora,Silvério and Manuel for your continuous help and professional service..also Julia and Maria at breakfast time and Andrew in the shop.. See you all again in October..

Another fabulous stay in this special place. Great room facing pool and sea cleaned daily by wonderful cleaners. Special thanks as always to staff for making our stay so pleasant especially Dora,Andrew and Manuel. See you next year hopefully, good luck with the renovation

Been to Portugal many times but this was our first time at this Hotel. Yes the hotel is a bit far out, but if you use Uber a taxi will cost no more than €7 into Albufeira town centre. The hotel is lovely and so clean, with the exception of a few spots around the pool that always looked black and never dried. Also a few tiles need replaced in the jacuzzi part. The water in the pool is sooooo cold, I’ve never felt a pool so cold. Even when I got out I had goose bumps. Having said that it didn’t stop me from going in. There is also a lovely beach about 15/20 mins walk from the hotel, with a lovely beach bar/restaurant. Quiet location with not too much round it and not a very well equipped shop either. We were not really impressed with the food at the hotel. It was ok but not great. My husband is by no means a fussy eater and he wasn’t impressed either. Breakfast was the better of the two meals. Food at the pool bar was nice. Staff were always very helpful. Some looked a lot happier than others and the cleaners did a brilliant job the rooms and bar areas inside were always spotless. ( I noticed that when staff were clearing plates at meal times that some guests hardly even acknowledged them, never mind saying thank you. These people work very hard and they are not invisible, so please don’t ignore them. ) Happy Hour at the bar needs a bit more advertising. The morning we were going home we had an early start7 am. So we ordered boxes from reception the night before. Oh dear!!!!! The bags contained a drink, yogurt, apple and sandwich. We couldn’t take the drink or yoghurt through security and when we got to departure we got a drink and sat down to eat out sandwich which was soooo dry we had to bin it and the apple was so hard and bitter it went out too. So I would not advise ordering this. All in all the hotel is clean and quiet and very comfortable but the food lets it down. I know this is only my opinion and people do enjoy it, but we spoke to others who stay at the hotel but don’t eat in it, so enough said. Also I would like to mention the Jet2 rep Christiano. He is by far the best ever holiday rep we have ever come across. The most caring and knowledgeable rep by far. Both my husband and I got badly bitten my mosquitoes and something else. He arranged for the hotel to put a bug plug into our room and phoned us every other day to see how we were. He also told us about some fantastic restaurants. One was Adega dos Salgados, a Portuguese restaurant. If you love Portuguese food check this place out it’s amazing. As I said, hotel good but food not so. Enjoyed our stay but don’t think we will rush back.

We had a great time at the hotel. Just a few improvements to assist older guests staying at the hotel . The stairs leading to room 108 have no handrails along with some other stairs around the hotel .We found it difficult to climb up and down with out handrails
