It’s a nice spacious property especially if you book residence with many pools and restaurants. Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable.
Only few things that we found can make stay even better but not something that will be deal breaker.
If you like late night snacks or room services there are no facility after 10:30 at the hotel premises but you can order food from Uber eats.
As it’s a big place it can do with having a grocery store or convenience store on premises.
Secondly no private beach, there is a buggy to beach but no beach loungers are provided by the hotel, so if you use the ones at the beach, you have to pay for them (which we only found out once we got there). It would have been nice to know before hand.

Overall we had nice stay.
Thank you team

Amazing place…. Especially great for honeymooners… as it’s quiet, lush, and the beach is amazing.

They have a massage area on the beach… absolutely amazing! Great value for money.

ALbufeira has some bars/clubs… did not visit them though .

I read through the reviews and was honestly quite scared of the metal door hook breaking in method but during my stay I had no such issue. The apartment self catering was beautiful, it had all the pots, pans and cutlery needed to cook. There was a washing machine and a microwave included. In the cupboard there was ironing equipment.Safe was included in the closet. Also very nice citrus shampoo, conditioner and soap. The housekeeping was very helpful and nice, glass water bottles was replaced everyday by the cleaner so you didn’t have to worry about buying water. Every room had its own electronic air con easy to tap and operate.

I would recommend choosing the self catering option as the food options weren’t great. However there aren’t any shops in the hotel and the nearest grocery store was 20 minute walk. In the restaurant there was a buffet but it costed €35 pp. On the pool tables there was a QR code where you could order food or drinks to ur table which was really cool, however the fries portion was very small but it was €5. There were also ice cream served near the pool which included many flavours (I went for tiramisu and cookies & cream) 2 scoops costed €3.

The hotel has a beach shuttle which was a friendly old style cho cho train ride which came every 30 minutes there and back.

Also the bathroom has a wooden door but no locks. The balcony was big and probably my favourite thing in the room. The elevators seem quite old compared to the hotel itself.

Everything was excellent apart from the check in at the hotel we waited half an hour to check in. They need more reception desks and staff to help their visitors, reception area is not big enough for the size of the hotel. Breakfast was ample but got a bit boring after a few days, not much fresh fruit.

Welcome by front of staff lovely, rooms lovely, facilities lovely, food was excellent

Great location peaceful and only a short walk (10/15mins) to loads of places to eat supermarkets etc, gale beach is a must visit, more sheltered in the cove than salgados (small train hotel run a life saver for tired legs)

Will 100 percent be back and recommend

We absolutely loved Marriott residences in Salgados. The rooms, the hotel grounds, the restaurants and the amenities were all outstanding.
We stayed with our 3 year old and 6 year old who is autistic.The hotel staff were very helpful in answering all our questions before we even arrived, and they were helpful and supportive throughout our stay.
The restaurant staff Dmytro and Inès were always ready to give us a hand when we struggled with the kids. Thank you to Jessica for a smooth check in.

The shuttle to the beach is fantastic. The hotel is well placed and we used it as a base to visit Faro and Albufeira old town.
We can't wait to go back.
Thank you everyone!

Great apartment style rooms. Plenty big and spacious. Plenty of loungers and space, even in busy times. As expected, dining at the hotel is expensive and variety and offering needs improving. There are a couple of option outside of the hotel but most are a taxi ride away. A great place for a holiday but not perfect

Wonderful resort with all you could need within the apartment for self catering. Safe, clean and the staff were friendly and could not do enough. I enjoyed aqua yoga, a massage and my husband enjoyed a round of golf on the course. The kids enjoyed the many pools which were clean and very well maintained. A little train took you to the beach and back, and supermarkets are less than 20 minutes walk away. We loved our stay and will definitely be back.

Foi uma hospedagem rápida de um fim de semana, mas há certamente pontos positivos e negativos a apontar.
O quarto (1 suite) é espaçoso, com mobília simples, mas confortável. A cozinha é bem equipada (com uma pequena ressalva que não havia detergente, esponja e itens de limpeza que não são itens que costumamos ter na mala). O terraço dos apartamentos é bem espaçoso. Eu gostaria de ter tido lençóis nas camas, para além do edredão, mas imagino que isso seja um gosto pessoal. O isolamento acústico fica bastante a desejar e, para os mais sensíveis, pode ser um desafio a música que colocam no restaurante ao final do dia. A cortina blackout não veda bem a passagem da luz - não nos impediu de dormir, mas é importante ter ciência de que o quarto não fica 100% escuro.
O pequeno-almoço tem uma grande variedade de alimentos. Senti falta de mais variedade de frutas, de todo modo, havia diversas opções entre quentes/frios, doces/salgados.
O facto de ter diversas piscinas é excelente porque, mesmo em alta temporada, sempre arranjamos lugares para ficarmos e não havia aquela sensação de resort lotado nas piscinas.
O staff era gentil, alguns mais especiais do que outros, mas de um modo geral fomos bem atendidos em todas as instalações.
A possibilidade de usufruir dos restaurantes dos outros dois hotéis é relevante. Experimentamos um restaurante do Marriott Resort e considero a experiência positiva.
Não há room service e não houve limpeza no nosso quarto (só chegaram ao final do dia).

Hadde gjort en booking for 4 mnd siden, når jeg kom ned sjekket inn og betalt.
Så jeg samme booking kostet halve prisen!!
Skjønner det kan være forskjell med tanke på etterspørsel osv men ikke 40000kr på 10 dager.
Kommer aldri til å bruke expedia igjen!!
Dårlig service , sa de skulle hjelpe men brydde seg lik null!

Tout était très bien sauf le personnel : 30 minutes d’attente (à 23h) à la réception pour avoir notre chambre (alors qu’il n’y avait qu’un autre couple avant nous) car ils ne s’en sortaient pas. La réceptionniste est en plus désagréable et s’énerve.
L’équipe pour l’entretien rentre dans le logement sans frapper pour faire le ménage à 17h.
On attend 35 minutes pour un pichet de sangria. On a besoin d’une note et le barman n’arrive pas à sortir un ticket (on l’aura eu le lendemain).
On demande des glaçons lorsque l’on commande un verre à la piscine. On les aura eu 25 minutes après, le serveur repassait devant nous toutes les 5 minutes en disant « sorry I forgot »
Bref c’est très dommage car c’est un très bel hotel, mais il est certain que nous ne reviendrons pas, le mauvais service gâche absolument tout.

Otroligt fint och trevligt hotell, personalen var otroligt trevliga och hjälpsamma samt generösa!

Vi bodde här med vår dotter på 1 år, att ha egen tvättmaskin/diskmaskin och kök var därför väldigt praktiskt!

Föreslår att hyra en bil dock då det inte finns jättemycket att göra i området, vi hade bil och man tog sig runt väldigt enkelt och det var trevliga städer åt alla håll!

Vi åt aldrig på hotellets restauranger då vi lagade mat i köket samt åt ute!

Kan varmt rekommendera stället och vi kommer nog tillbaka!

Filthy pool area at Marriott Residences Salgados P

1. Misleading Gluten-Free Promise
Prior to our arrival, I contacted the hotel to confirm they could accommodate a guest with celiac disease. I was assured there would be gluten-free options available. In reality, the only offering was a single type of gluten-free bun—served every morning for the entire week. There were no cereals, muesli, or granola alternatives. This lack of variety was not only disappointing but unacceptable given the dietary needs communicated in advance.

2. Unhygienic Pool Area
The pool area was shockingly neglected. It appeared to serve more as a birdbath than a guest facility, with seagulls and pigeons frequenting the space. Every sunbed was covered in bird droppings, and unlike other hotels (such as those in Spain, where sunbeds are washed daily), no cleaning was done throughout our stay. The level of filth was beyond anything I’ve encountered in a hotel setting.

3. Payment Dispute at Reception
Upon check-in, the reception staff claimed my reservation had not been paid, despite the fact that it had been settled in advance. They were unable to locate the payment in their system and offered no resolution. Although the hotel claims affiliation with the Marriott chain, they had no record of the transaction and failed to follow up or confirm the payment later. No apology was offered for the confusion or the inconvenience caused.

Wir hatten Halbpension gebucht. Das Frühstücksbuffet war hervorragend: frischer Kaffee von der Baristabar, große Obstauswahl, verschiedene Brotsorten, Gemüse, Aufstriche, frisch gepresste Säfte, Omelett uvm. Das Abendessen, ebenfalls in Buffetform, war sehr hochwertig und abwechslungsreich. Die Auswahl war allerdings eher begrenzt, sodass es mit kleineren Kindern teilweise nicht so leicht war etwas passendes zu finden. Riesen Vorteil: es gab immer Wasser in Glasflaschen gratis.
Zum Strand fährt eine Bimmelbahn (kostenlos) - ein absolutes Highlight.
Die nagelneue Suite war wunderschön, sehr sauber, hell und modern eingerichtet. Die Betten sehr bequem.
Wir haben Bolt zum Transfer nach Albufeira genutzt - sehr günstig.
Der Internetzugang war gut.

Enttäuschender Aufenthalt trotz gutem Apartment

Der Aufenthalt war enttäuschend – trotz gutem Apartment.
Bereits beim Check-in war die Rezeptionistin Mariana auffallend unfreundlich. Auf einfache Fragen wie z. B. zur Anlage oder zum Weg an den Strand reagierte sie abweisend mit Aussagen wie „Das müsst ihr nicht wissen“ oder „Wieso wollt ihr das wissen“. Wir kannten sie nicht und haben uns korrekt verhalten. Auf meine direkte Nachfrage, ob wir ihr etwas getan hätten, antwortete sie mit nein, ihr Ton blieb aber unangenehm. Dazu kam ein sehr starker Mundgeruch. Ich habe das Gespräch abgebrochen und um eine andere Ansprechperson gebeten – es war mit ihr schlicht nicht möglich. Eine solche Person an der Rezeption ist für ein Hotel untragbar.

Der Pool sah gut aus, war aber verschmutzt – Haare, Müll, keine Reinigung während des Aufenthalts. Das Frühstück war enttäuschend: wenig Auswahl, vieles fehlte, Personal überfordert. Für ein Glas musste ich 3 Mal nachfragen. Die Eierstation hatte 30 Minuten Wartezeit. Tische waren kaum verfügbar.

Zum Strand läuft man mit Kindern ca. 30 Minuten. Keine klare Beschilderung. Der Shuttle-Zug fährt nur alle 30 Minuten, letzte Rückfahrt um 18:30 Uhr.

Hinweis: Das Wasser des Atlantiks war sehr kalt – rein informativ.

Positiv: Das Apartment war ruhig, sauber, gross und gut ausgestattet. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in 5 Minuten mit dem Auto erreichbar.

Für uns stimmte das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis leider nicht.
