Urban Hotel Santa Eulália (Albufeira, Portugal)

This resort is great for those travelling with children. The rooms are spacious and there are lots of separate rooms so everyone can spread out and not be cramped. The hotel is close to the bed, and the pool and sunbeds are popular with kids. The supermarket is within walking distance and the kitchenette provides ample cooking utensils so that families don't have to search for a restaurant for every meal.

Guest don't have to worry about the accommodations when booking site unseen. The rooms are spacious and very modern. The features and bedding is comfortable and provides a stay that is far from the basic hotel experience.

This location provides the quiet and relaxing space that you'll want in your holiday stay, but you don't have to stay inside the hotel grounds for the whole experience. A walk to the beach is only 15 minutes away, and there are numerous restaurants, attractions, and nightlife opportunities nearby, too.

When booking this hotel, you won't want to be persuaded by the all-inclusive options. The quality and choice are just average, not exceptional. There are half-board option as well, but many guests rely on the kitchenettes and restaurants instead of eating every meal at the hotel.

The resort advertises for daily cleaning service, but this doesn't occur with regularity. Most rooms are serviced every few days, and even then the deep cleaning doesn't happen. It's just mostly a freshening up and towel exchange.

If you're disappointed in your room when you arrive, there's little chance you can change. The resort is mostly booked and don't allow for room switches. When booking, inquire about the size of your unit and the views, as some look out onto busy and noisy streets.
