The Patio Suite Hotel

All staff members were lovely. Hotel was extremely clean. Apartments were spacious. Only downside the hotel needs more sun loungers for the peak season. Food in restaurant is good but repetitive. Similar at lunch and dinner.

We travel with 2 children and it was our first stay at The Patio. I must say we were very happy with the family vacation, the hotel exceeded our expectations. Its an amazing and relaxed place, they dont go crazy with rules which sometimes can be obnoxious. Everyone did an extra mile to make us happy, the food and drinks are 5 stars, we went all inclusive and did all of our meals at the hotel, and were happy to find out it was totally worth the money The apartment was very spacious, with air conditioned that actually worked (with individual split units not central, so we can turn on and off and it was very efficient) Pools and bars were great, also we really enjoyed the shuttle to the beach, never felt the hotel very full, it was a great stay We traveled by car, and it was really easy to park in front of the hotel, didnt had to pay anything. I was also able to charge the car in the parking behind the hotel with no problem The main point I have to say I didnt like at all was the sound isolation in the room Our apartment was in front of the main elevators and were really noisy at night, with random party goers arriving at 4 or 5 am and making a lot of noise. This happened daily. I also think the windows should be better insulated as we can hear the sound of passing cars all night (it was loud) Also the sofa bed had a thin couch so it would be maybe a quick win to buy some toppers to give the guests a better night sleep I wouldnt even change anything else, just the sleep quality. Nevertheless we will very likely return next year!

As for entertainment I think it should be better (doesnt cost much). Very little entertainment for adults during the day (you had to subscribe some qr code, if you dont then they dont do anything). My experience in other hotels is that the team should do it anyway and motivate people to join, have music in the pool area, do some activities in the pool like zumba or a dj etc hire some more fun singers at night (there was one that was great with dancers and fancy clothes but they were mostly dull all week), we appreciated the karaoke as well as movie nights

We really liked the hotel. Clean, spacious family room. We were self catering and ate in local restaurants within walking distance. Amazing golf resort opposite the hotel. Cheap Uber ride away from Albufeira and Vilamoura. In our last couple of days some groups of young lads were there and disrupting the peace of the swimming pool, which shouldn’t happen at a family hotel.
