Conrad Algarve

We first visited the Conrad Algarve in 2013, within six months of the hotel???s opening. Sometimes, hotels experience growing pains during its first year, but our Conrad Algarve stay was perfection at its best. As a result of that visit, we vowed to visit as many other Conrad properties as possible. Some turned out to be almost as perfect as the Conrad Algarve; others simply could not provide the same standard of service. We have wanted to return to the Conrad Algarve for years and finally did so in early September. We were thrilled to see some of our favorite team members again (Mariline, Rui, Raul, etc.) Clearly, this hotel is doing something right to keep its employees happy for so long. This return visit was no different from our first visit. We felt pampered and welcomed back as if we were family members. Elbow bumps soon become big bear hugs as we encountered team members from ten years ago. We met new team members who were just as professionally helpful (Hugo, Victor, and too many others to name). During our five-day stay, we left the hotel only once to explore the Loul?? Market with Louro???s Executive Sous-Chef Jos??. Upon returning to the hotel, Jos?? demonstrated how to prepare a seafood stew, which we then enjoyed for a late lunch. All in all, a wonderful experience that was well worth the price. We enjoyed the food and cocktails at Dado. The tasting menu at Gusto???s had its highlights. The Fagotelli Carbonara that bursts in one???s mouth is reminiscent of Asian soup dumplings ??? the definitive highlight of our meal. However, the final main course was a disappointment ??? a small piece of meat saturated with a dark sauce that was overly salty; I couldn???t even tell if I was eating beef or lamb. In addition to the Louro lunch mentioned above, we also had dinner one night where we enjoyed the nightly music provided by the hotel. The food was outstanding, and the service was impeccable. Guests at the next table had ordered the ???seabass for two??? that was encased in a hard shell of salt ??? something to try next time. The hotel spa is where I love to relax and where Jessica provided me with one of the best massages that I???ve had. The hotel now provides a lounge for early arrivals and late departures. In addition to the large room with pastries, nuts, dried fruit, coffee, and water, there is an outside patio where one can relax. And finally, the drivers who provide the hotel???s car service are the best. Upon departure, the driver even helped load our luggage onto the train ??? a kind gesture that we greatly appreciated. I???ve delayed my post until today (September 26, 2022) so that I can wish the Conrad Algarve a very Happy 10th Anniversary! We will be back.

Just back from a week in Conrad Algarve. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left for the airport the hotel staff could not have done more to make us feel welcome and relaxed. As expected, the hotel is in immaculate condition. Stayed on the 6th floor and could not hear anything from the hotel, i have read some reviews of noise disturbance on lower floors but not too sure how. Breakfast options and service was just perfect, again staff at hand for any special requests you may have. Lunch at the poolside bar was lovely, only down side was there was a lack of tables/ chairs you could sit at and have this lunch at the sereno pool. Plenty of Towels and service from the staff was top class here too. Very attentive of what was happening around the pool. A couple of restaurants we visited locally which i would highly recommend. * Bold Octopus * Bamboo Algarve * Cheeky Pup *Louro restaurant onsite at the hotel. We will certainly be returning in the near future. Thank you to all the the staff at the Conrad.
