"Absolutely Gorgeous"
Went to the Albacora on a recommendation from a friend and it was absolutely gorgeous. My 6 year old had a great time. It was too cold for the outdoor pool but the indorr was lovely. Although out of season my son went to the "School" everyday for T Shirt Painting, Clay Modelling etc... Nice little Play park right outside our bungalow door. Library/Lounge with Widescreen TV and comfy chairs, a great place to relax without the kids! I had a massage (quite dear at 65 euros) but well worth it! It rained constantly but was still great. Would definately recommend this hotel. Will be going back again and again. The food was OK, found a lovely little restuarant in Tavira called Rive Gauche - very eccentric place but great service and food. All in all the best holiday I have had so far!!

"For the money Great Value"
Took a chance after reading other views on the hotel, and was not disappointed.Drink prices similar to other hotels-Evening buffet could have been slightly cheaper (my only small grumble)- A la carte menu reasonable price.
Location slightly remote,bus from hotel into town,but a car or cycle would be a better bet.
Found the staff to very good,even the maintenance man had a smile.
Would book with this hotel group again if going to an area where they had hotels
