Algarve Casino Hotel

The breakfast buffet was excellent. Lovely staff - I had a wonderful stay. Very good-facilities and location

Very good-facilities and location

The hotel is located on the main strip of Praia da Rocha on the more sedate end of the strip. Facilities are generally good, reception is spacious and lovely and cool. The bar and restaurant have stunning views. Food is good, the menu is varied albeit a little pricey especially for the sandwich offerings. The breakfast buffet is superb. The choice and variety of breakfast foods and beverages is exceptional. Rooms are spotless and well appointed. Staff are friendly and extremely courteous

Three minor issues. 1. I was travelling with my 73 year old mother. Room 841 is a little bit of a trek away from reception the main issue is a lack of a lift from reception area to the long corridor to lift to take you to corridor the room is on. Issue with carrying luggage down a spiral stairs on arrival and up on departure. 2. The pool needs a good clean the original pool seems to have been relined and in place this liner is lifting. The water overflow channels needs a proper power washing it leaves the 5 star status down. 3. The TV in our room 841 was functional but had a small area damaged on the top left hand corner. As we were not there to watch TV I didn’t report it, with the benefit of hindsight I should have . On our day of departure, when we returned to the hotel to collect our luggage, I was accosted by one of the managers, and whilst I was not outright accused of damaging the TV, I felt as if I wasn’t believed when I explained I hadn’t caused the damage. I am 45 and my mother is 73. I think at our ages the prospect of partying is well and truly over. It just left a little sour taste on what was overall a great stay.

Location is excellent , super staff so friendly and efficient.Beautiful gardens and terraces . Our room was very comfortable, homely / clean abd not too noisy

The casino terrace is very noisy at night and unfortunately we had to close our door as we prefer to have the sliding door open to hear the sound of the waves breaking on the seashore which is magical and we could do that first few nights then it got very noisy .

Close to the beach

Staff are very unhelpful
