Grande Real Santa Eulalia Resort & Hotel Spa

Grande Real Santa Eulália Resort & Hotel Spa offers a fantastic location and a high level of comfort. Our room was spacious, clean, and provided plenty of space to relax. A highlight was the direct access to the beach – there's a private gate that opens with your room key, which was very convenient. The breakfast buffet was fresh and of good quality, but after a few days, it became repetitive – more variety would be expected from a 5-star hotel. The coffee was also quite average. Another point to note: the fitness room, according to the in-room tablet, costs €12 per use. For a hotel in this category, we believe gym access should be included. The location is excellent: Santa Eulália is about a 10-minute walk, and Albufeira is roughly 4 km away, easily reachable on foot or by taxi. Overall, we had a pleasant stay with good service, comfortable rooms, and a great setting. However, compared to other 5-star hotels we've stayed at, the overall experience lacked some of the special touches and inclusivity we’ve come to expect – hence our 4 out of 5 rating.

I recently stayed at the Grande Real Santa Eulália Resort in Albufeira and had a fantastic experience. The resort is beautifully located right by the beach, offering stunning ocean views and direct access to the sand. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with all the amenities you’d expect from a high-end resort. The staff were consistently friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with any requests. The resort features several pools, great for both families and adults looking for a quieter space. There are also plenty of dining options on-site. It’s a perfect spot for a relaxing getaway, whether you’re traveling as a couple or with family. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy the Algarve in comfort and style.

1BR (460) apartment 9 nights B&B. Overall delighted and would return. Check in easy, room spacious for 2 adults 1 toddler. Shower powerful, lots of storage. Breakfast fantastic value, wide variety for everyone. Bit manic at times but to be expected. Atlantico restaurant good quality but pricier than other options near by, which we preferred such as RM, Portobello and BouganVilla, latter being great for children as play area colocated. Service 90% great, bar service a bit hit and miss but no major issues. Pool area was good, 'heated' pool better than fresh water and beach access was as good as you can get! Spa was really useful with proper heated pool. 3 things I would change: - Softer matresses, ours was quite firm - QR code ordering option for bars etc - Mops in room for clearing rain form balcony But absolutely a 5 star hotel, not a ritz but immaculate and the peacocks were a great surprise. Hope to return for longer soon

I highly recommend this hotel! The staff were truly exceptional, going above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. The location is perfect, with easy access to the Old Town via the hotel's shuttle or a leisurely walk to nearby shops. The hotel offers all the necessary amenities, although we did miss having tea in our room—a local custom we soon discovered. However, the staff kindly provided a kettle, and we were able to pick up tea bags from a nearby shop. Overall, it was a wonderful experience!
