Had never been to Albufeira before, and booked Forte Do Vale based on it's great reviews- and they didn't disappoint. It's difficult to know where to base yourself in the sprawling coastline of Albufeira, but this hotel is in a great location. It's a short ten minute walk from the Strip, and about twenty minutes from the Old Town (more... More

I honestly cannot fault this place, and as I said in the title, we'd return there tomorrow if we could. Our friends have stayed here a few times and are returning again in a couple of weeks, they recomended this place to us and I'm so glad they did. It really is fantastic. There's not much more that can be... More

Hotel was lovely, location is perfect. It was within walking distance of the beach, old town and strip. Took us a couple of days to get our bearings but you soon find everything loops in a circle. Best thing to do is get the train outside the hotel (2.50E) and it takes you round everywhere so you can get an... More

Brill break thurs to Sunday.anyone thinking of hen do then its the place and down to old town not the strip xxxxx . Very clean and a 15-20 min walk to old town ,taxi cost 5euros .Meal not very pricy.Night life good .

We stayed in April. The apartments were originally built as time shares but for whatever reason this didn't go ahead. Therefore they are big apartments. Kitchens are kitted out with nearly everything, including a washing machine and dishwasher, but no oven. I don't cook on holiday so this didn't bother us. I do like the advantage of a washing machine... More

Just got back from 3 nights at Forte Do Vale and had a really nice time. The rooms are big and modern, they were really clean too. The strip is only 5 minutes away to walk or about €3.50 by taxi. It costs €12 each every time you want to use the indoor pool which is quite a lot, but... More
