- Grande Real Santa Eulalia Hotel and Spa

This exclusive luxury hotel is a conveniently located hotel in Albufeira, above beautiful, sandy Praia de Santa Eulália Beach. The hotel also offers a free shuttle bus into town that runs a few times per day, and there is a regular bus stop located 100 metres from the hotel, going to the lively centre of Albufeira, with its many shopping and entertainment venues; Faro Airport is 23 kilometers away from the hotel. The complex has all the peace and tranquility of an Algarve beach setting, the sense of fun that comes with a holiday in a tourist area, and the charm of a fairy tale. The complex has accommodation for all kinds of families. All rooms, suites or apartments have the amenities required for a comfortable stay, which includes appliances and comfortable furniture, as well as access to areas with balconies.
Hotel refuses to allow a shortened stay even though service/food terrible and everyone unhappy. They refuse to refund a pre-paid week long stay via bookings.com. Bookings.Com currently to get a refund now but they also refusing to negotiate with them. We arrived yesterday - room air con not working, food buffet terrible and very limited, sent to hotel pizza Restuarant which was also not good. This is supposed to be a 5 star resort. Hotel corridors smell bad and bath plugs jammed so can’t shower properly. The hotel say we must rather just eat breakfast here and get an uber to another restuarant for lunch and dinner. I offered to pay one day and move elsewhere but the hotel refuse to refund and will not make any exceptions despite the poor service. I am stuck here with an upset family. This hotel is NOT 5 star!! I hope bookings.com also remove it from their listings as a 5 star resort immediately.
Grande Hotel but could do better on customer services. Reception staff not friendly and blaming us for any problems
3 year old couldn’t go in the baby pool because the seagulls every single day all day would be in the baby pool and no staff members would be shoo’ing them away, hotel guests would including ourselves but they would return straight away. Villa rooms really need a renovation has they are extremely old fashioned, worn with a musty smell, location is fine, taxi’s are really cheap anyway. We won’t be returning
Great overall experience, great staff who go above and beyond to help. Food and drinks are great and priced reasonably. Rooms were great, only small issue we had was immediately solved after contacting reception. Pools and facilities were great, clean and well looked after.
Hi I am currently in my 2nd day stay from UK to Portugal Grande Real Santa it is amazing everything from service, food and the place is excellent, I will go into more detail Europe generally you have drainage issues some times like Spain and Greece this has no issues at all, the views are scenic and the beach is amazing, I will be coming back here, kids wise its calm its not hectic and there is no water slides but they have a kids club, food they do alot of selection and al a carte. I did this review and Grande Real Santa deserve this review and for any couples or family's. Thank you
