Great property. It’s our second time and we enjoyed it again so much,
The rooms are vast and airy, the decor is so Algarve, the bed is confortable, the pool is wonderful, the location is unbeatable,having a drink at AIR right by the beach was memorable. Dinner at sunset at PAPERMOON restaurant was delightful.
The only complaint is that all the food us much too salty. Our group of 8 was unanimous.
Super hotel but extremely salty food.

Thank you to the wonderful team at the W Algarve who made my solo birthday trip a wonderful one. They allowed me to check in early and had decorated the room with messages and even gave me a little sweet treat. Nothing was too difficult for them to sort out and they went above and beyond for me. The room was very big, clean and the bed very very comfortable. The breakfast was fantastic!! One of the best I’ve ever had in a hotel. The spa facilities were great and I had a wonderful detox massage. I can’t wait to return with my husband and family. Thank you for making my trip.

It’s always exciting and a pleasure staying at W Hotels.

What we have noticed however is the least available options for non-Pork eaters at breakfast. We believe there being perhaps options such as chicken/beef sausages as opposed to only Pork..?!

The house keeping was fantastic, aside from staff moving one or two of my wife’s items from where she originally left them (Nothing majorly serious 🙂)..

With that said, we had a wonderful experience at The W and would most definitely comeback should we ever have the opportunity to visit The Algarve at some point in the near future.

Obrigado….

Overall the experience was excellent. Really enjoyed the stay and made us feel at home. The Whatever/ Whenever team is amazing and they made our trip a memorable one. We wanted a quiet and relaxing holiday and we were pampered by all the Hotel staff. Every one of the staff were very friendly, always smiling and attending to our needs.

The W Algarve delivered all it ‘said in the tin’ and then some. For those like me who are always skeptical when reviewing the hotel provided pictures, I can say that the rooms, the surrounding, the facilities, and the pleasant staff are exactly as described and portrayed. I needed a end of summer refreshing retreat and break for my family of five and it delivered from the moment we walked in to our final goodbyes! Perfect way to end the summer break. Thank you W!

Great hotel staff, poor location

My W Agarve stay in January was largely for quiet relaxation and writing, and in this regard this hotel was OK. The views of the ocean are fantastic from the room and the staff are great. My only reason for not giving a higher rating is the location. This is probably the least walkable area of Portugal I've seen in many trips to this beautiful country. The beach accessed on the property is tiny. There is no walkable beach area near the hotel. There is a sprawling suburb around the hotel and no real area to walk for restaurants or shopping. I'll not return because of the location. Staying in the Algarve again, I will find a place that is more walkable.

The hotel and staff were quite lovely during our stay. Unfortunately, we went during the low season and I definitely do not recommend doing that. There wasn't much to do in the surrounding area but that isn't really the hotel's fault.

The one thing I will say that was not satisfactory at the property was the breakfast. For £35, I expected at least a little bit better of an offering from the buffet. Everything was quite stale and not many options. We elected to purchase the avocado toast which seemed more like an avocado spread than actual avocados (Avocados seem difficult to get in this region of the world as I have not had great luck in Europe in general finding fresh avocados like you can in the US).

Other than that, I highly recommend the property as the rooms were extremely clean, very large, and the design is quite cool. It looks much better in person than it does in photos for some reason. Also, the staff was so friendly as you come to expect when visiting Portugal, it's just a totally different vibe from the people in the US and other parts of Europe.

Decor of the property is really nice, its ultra modern and fancy.
Food at the pool was really average and there were no lifeguards at the pool at all.
Generally staff were great and we had a great view of the sunset from our room. Hotel restaurants were very good - food at Paper Moons was a highlight and live singer at Market Kitchen was wonderful. Shuttle bus to local sandy beach was good (it has a nice beach club restaurant) - nice plus point. Gale beach 10 mins down the road was better beach however.

Lovely stay at beautiful hotel

Excellent hotel. Very friendly and efficient staff. Top notch service. The room was beautiful and spacious. Balcony was amazing. Breakfast had lots of variety. Hotel restaurants were also good

The hotel wasn’t really walking distance from anywhere which was a bit of a shame and food at pool could have been better but otherwise great stay.

Great breakfast though they did not mention about breakfast items on the menu till the last day.
Nice rooms and comfortable beds but the shelves were dusty.
Large pool but the water was cold. Furthermore, this hotel is not ideal for families. Better for adults and groups than families.

Last but not least, Whatever, Whenever but Never. I had to chase my restaurant bookings daily.

The hotel itself is beautiful, large spacious rooms, however, over priced in terms of food in terms of quality.
They also charge an additional €125 euros per extra bed per night and take a €100 euros on check in, if your not expecting that cost it will be a surprise on arriving.
The location is great, accessible to some great beaches and staff are as accommodating as they can be. Probably wouldn’t select a Marriott group hotel in the future.

Only a year old 5 star hotel. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Location and place is neat, lovely and has its own flare of eclectic interior. Big disappointment and draw back especially for families with older children (13 & 12) is the hotel rule of not allowing children in the main swimming pool ( even if the depth of this adult pool is less than 5 feet ) and restricting them in the children pool ( actually a wading pool for young children). We stayed for 2 days and have been told 3x of this rule, while other families’ children were allowed to use the adult pool. It’s worth considering a 2nd attempt of vacation if this rule is remove, despite the very expensive cost.

Normally, I almost never give reviews. But the W hotel chain, at least W Algarve, is a sociologically interesting hotel to analyze. This review aims to analyze the establishment in relation to its 5-star rating. Please bear this in mind as you read.
So to start with, W Algarve is a perfectly adequate luxury hotel for the wealthy that has the cultural capital of a 4-star hotel. Indeed, this hotel lacks refinement, especially in terms of service, as little as there is elsewhere.
As the world becomes more proletarian, it's obviously no wonder the hotel chain decided to make their hotels a haven for upper-class millennials, but perhaps they should have considered including ecology in their marketing approach (the hotel is indeed very wellness-oriented), in order to increase the loyalty of this clientele, which is particularly involved in political life (too much plastic in their establishment), much more than their baby-boomer parents, who are more inclined to complain about their standard of living, which continues to decrease.
This hotel has the advantage of allowing its guests to bring their pets, which is a real plus, but again, from this perspective, it would make more logical sense to include sustainability.
In short, if you are deeply attached to luxury and to the service that this implies, as well as to the quality of food, don't go to this hotel. There's no refinement and the food is 4 star level. This hotel is worth 300 per night, no more. Don't pay more, just don't
