Holiday Inn Algarve Albufeira by IHG
We had an excellent stay. The only problem we had during our stay was with an ant infestation in our room. We were moved to another room efficiently by the staff and then enjoyed the rest of our stay. Thank you for an excellent stay at the Holiday Inn, Albufeira

Belmar Spa & Beach Resort
Stayed in the one bedroom apartment very well appointed for a long-term. Stay excellent breakfast. Restaurant was closed for dinner, so can't comment on that only complaint would be. Spa needs to be open later at night.
