Jupiter Algarve

Today is the last day of our sunny Christmas break, and the excellent service and friendliness is the top of our list of  positives that we will remember about this fine hotel. Other positives ... our room, comfortable and very well maintained. We are on the 4th floor, #403, with a beautiful view of the Atlantic and stunning sunsets. We visited the outside/exterior area to relax on the sunbeds, and we enjoyed lunchtime snacks and drinks nearly every day! Once again, good courteous service with a smile.  Another positive was the cleanliness of all areas ~ everywhere was meticulously cared for and very attractive, all beautifully decked out for Christmas. 
I particularly loved the Nativity scenes handmade by each hotel department - they are truly delightful and show their appreciation for the season.  We stayed on a half board basis, and the variety of dishes both at breakfast and dinner was amazing - always something to please all palates! If  the plates had been stacked on some kind of heating device, it would definitely have added to our enjoyment. Warm food on cold plates resulted in cold food!  The only other negatives and absolutely no fault of the hotel was the noise while dining. During our 10-days, two large groups of sporting young people (very lively!) stayed, so unfortunately, we rarely enjoyed a calm, quiet meal as the atmosphere and noise was similar to dining in a canteen! However, our visit has been lovely -  many thanks to the fine staff who enhanced our enjoyment and our best wishes for 2025.


A memorable Christmas! 

Celebrated Christmas and 2nd time this year staying at Jupiter. The hotel had a lovely vibe in it for Christmas. Staff are excellent both at reception and bar area. Christmas morning had a lovely atmosphere at the pool. Only enjoyed entertainment the night we arrived. It would have been nice to have some entertainment Christmas eve/ day. Thanks to the bar staff for serving us cocktail on Christmas night at 11.55 when I knew they probably wanted to go home. Housekeeping is excellent except can be very late in afternoon. Rooms are spotless and hotel very nicely decorated for Christmas. Staff at breakfast area very pleasant and always warmly welcomed and shown to our table. Already looking forward to returning next Christmas

Christmas break

We read all the reviews for this hotel and picked it on those reviews. What a mistake. We feel that the people who wrote those reviews had such a bad experience they wanted others to have a taste of it. This hotel is not 4 * plus.
Hotel was very clean, staff were very pleasant and nice.
However, this hotel were catering for 90 - 95% British. Quality of food was average. Choice of food was not. Cooked breakfast, catering for Brits was below average. The fried eggs were all dried up as though they had been cooked at 04:00 and then warmed up. Tinned mushrooms. Baked beans were lukewarm. Tuscan spicy sausage or Chicken sausage most of the time. Had Pork sausage twice. Pizza and Quiche. Watered down Porridge. Sauce, Salt and pepper in a packet. Wooden spatula to stir your tea. Had to use juice glass to put milk in. Moor like a back street cafe in Birmingham. 
Continental breakfast was ok but nothing special, about 4 or 5 different cheeses and different ham. Fruit station was above average.
  Evening meals were not that much better. Christmas eve meal, which the Portuguese celebrate, was not too bad, we chose the Iberian pork steak along with fresh veg. The food was cooked well but not a good choice.
Christmas day meal was poor. The stuffed turkey looked like reformed Turkey, the only veg was a slice of Aubergine topped with a slice of Tomato. I had Pork and rice with a few roast potatoes.
The pool area was like a concrete patio. 40 sunbeds for a potential guest list of 368. Location was unpleasant. You had to pay to use the indoor pool, Really?
And finally, the entertainment was very poor. Almost non existent. We had one good night on the Saturday before Christmas. 
To top it all off, a group of Dutch lads arrived for a football training camp 3 days before we left. They were rude, ill mannered and disrespectful. Even the staff were moaning about them. All in all for us, this was a poor holiday. My wife and myself go away every Christmas. This was the first one I was glad to get home from!!!! 
Will not be returning and certainly will not recommend.

Great hotel

We have stayed a number of times at both the Jupiter Algarve and Jupiter Marina hotels and always enjoyed our stays,this time was no exception, it was a pleasure to stay here over New Year and we will definitely return again soon. We were upgraded to a top floor room with sea view and then to a Beautiful Junior Suite which just made our holiday experience so very special. The rooms are spacious and the beds so comfy, with modern facilities and excellent powerful showers. The hotel is extremely clean and modern and the cleaning staff go the extra mile to make you comfortable during your stay. Facilities are excellent and covering and heating the out door pool means you can use it even on the coldest days. The breakfast is great with lots of choice and the orange juice comes from real oranges you put into the machine. The coffee is good, the champagne and Portuguese custards are such a bonus. The made to order Omlettes delicious and fresh bread and consonants every day as well as lots of good fruit choices. The hotel is in an excellent location, in front of the beach and sea and on the main pedestrian-way through Praia da Rocha. You come out the main entrance and the town is there. We had sea view rooms and it's sunshine from sunrise to sunset every day and see, hear and smell the beautiful ocean and sit on your balcony and watch the sunsets.
All the facilities you need are in your room or the hotel itself and the great location means it's easy to explore the area.
The reception staff are so professional, helpful and friendly and make your holiday special. We asked if we could keep our room on until later as we had a late pick up for the airport and they kindly let us stay until our pick up at 17.30 at no extra charge, this made the perfect end to our holiday and took all the stress out of leaving and we really appreciated it. We loved every minute of stay in our Junior Suite with sea view and were treated like VIPs. We always find the staff at Jupiter Algarve willing to go the extra mile to make your stay perfect and this is why we love staying there. There are many nice hotels in the world we have stayed in but very few have staff as welcoming as the Jupiter Algarve.
