Central, informal and fun We have just returned from a short break in the Hotel California, Albufeira. The hotel was everything we were hoping for and a little more. Very central location giving quick easy access to the beautiful sandy fishermans beach. The central location also means that heading out for dinner and a few drinks is simplicity itself. The old town central area is a bit on the noisy side and the party last until quite late in the evening but we found with the excellent double glazed patio doors closed and the air conditioning humming softly away at night that the noise from the street didn't give us any trouble at all. The roof-top pool, sun deck and snack-bar area are also excellent and a perfect relaxed sun trap. We found the staff to be friendly and helpful in a easy natural manner. On the whole we had a great break on the Algarve and this was complimented by our stay in the Hotel California. I would certainly recommend this hotel.

Highly recommended The hotel is right in the middle of the old town and as you step out of the hotel you step into the bars and restraunts plus the local bands playing. The Rock cafe was a fav of ours but the hotel bar and food was also very good. Highly recommmend this place.
