What guests think

At Algarve Casino Hotel, travellers consistently praise the unbeatable beachfront location with sweeping sea views, large pool area, and generous breakfast, while noting that many rooms and some facilities feel dated and occasional service inconsistencies and crowds can detract.

Guests like the direct access to Praia da Rocha and the walkable strip of bars and restaurants. Rooms are commonly spacious with balconies and sea views, yet decor and maintenance vary; reports mention weak air‑conditioning, spotty Wi‑Fi, noise in some areas, and occasional pests or odors. Service is frequently described as friendly and helpful, though several reviews cite slow or unwelcoming reception, delayed check‑ins, and VIP perks not delivered; practical notes include paid spa areas and free parking a short walk away. Expect great views and convenience in a classic seaside hotel where location stands out more than modern polish.

Hotel is located near the major entertainment streets around the beach The hotel has plenty of swimming pool/deck area for sunbathing. Also large number of chairs and umbrellas down at the beach There's a small but well equipped gym. Good WiFi everywhere. The casino has lots of slot machines, roulette and blackjack tables. My wife liked the breakfast, but for me the scrambled eggs were very watery (minor detail)

This stunning property offers breathtaking views and exceeds its five-star rating. The hotel has a timeless elegance with outstanding breakfast options and facilities. The spacious pool and convenient beach access were highlights of our stay. The thoughtful touches, including complimentary wine and a fruit basket upon arrival, made us feel truly welcomed and added to an exceptional experience.

Excellent property right on the beach. The rooms are located below the ground level and to get there, there isn’t direct access by elevators, you must use at least one set of stairs. That makes transporting luggage very difficult. Great pools and breakfast and lunch options, we didn’t dine there.

The reception/lobby is renovated, the rest of the areas are somewhat dated. Room was nice and clean. Comfortable beds. Balcony overlooking the beach was great. Only drawback - parking was a 5 minute walk on the adjacent street. and the one-way streets make a circuitous drive to the hotel front from there. So plan for additional time to load/unload the car.

Great hotel, excellent location and facilties. Right next to the beach, shops, bars and restaurants. Agree with others that it isn't a modern 5 star, probably more like a good 4 star but it was very clean and had everytbing you need. Bed was comfy, plenty of wardrobe space and good size balcony over looking the beach. Staff very helpful. Breakfast tasty and plenty choice. Would come back

The entire property seemed to be old and worn. Not a good vacation vibe. One tower had two elevators but only one in service for days. Balcony beach view room was ancient. Getting to it was a maze. No elevator from ground floor to the floor the room was on. You had to go Down stairs. Then a long walk then down more stairs. Getting to the room was a serious annoyance. From the beach pool area you had to walk up a circular staircase. Then across a long out of date abandoned corridor. Then down the stairs back to the floor you started on and another long corridor. The room was clean. I can’t really say anything else good about it. The included breakfast was not worth the time or effort or crowds. Tired boring substandard food and coffee. Poorly organized buffet. Not worth eating it. The staff looked tired and miserable. The beach was nice but a little further down there were much more beautiful unique beaches with outcroppings and tunnels and caves. Also a bit further west there was a lot of food fun and better by far hotels. I would Never go back to the Argarve casino hotel. You can rent beach chairs from any of the hotels even if you are not a guest. You could really enjoy the most stunning beaches on this strip by brining your own blanket and umbrella. Then you can pick a spot that is visually unique to put your stuff down. Bottom line stay west of the Argarve Hotel Casino. We still enjoyed Portimao. It’s a fun nice beach town.

We had 3 rooms, all were nice with a balcony and ocean view but one room was having problems with ants. Also there are no USB ports in the room for charging phones. Even budget hotels in the US have multiple USB ports either built into the outlets or built in to the beside lamps.

Overall, we had a nice time but mainly because of the beach and the area. We arrived an hour early and asked if our room was ready, to which the lady sarcastically replied “No! We are fully booked so we’ll call you when your room is ready at 3:00”. So we headed to the beach and waited for the call - nobody ever called us. We returned around 6:30 and found our room had been ready for awhile but nobody bothered to call. The staff seem overwhelmed, disorganized and unhappy. When we asked for a later checkout, we were told no, again they were fully booked. When I said it was so we could pack our belongings since we arrived from a morning kayak tour, he said fine, but just to grab our luggage. When we came to the buffet breakfast right when they opened to ask if we could take food to go since we had an early morning kayak tour, we were told no so we inhaled our breakfast in 5 min. The building seams rooms seem quite dated and due for an upgrade. The bottom of the pool floor was lifting and bubbling up. The rooms were dated and the bathroom had a half-glass wall by the shower that still didn’t block the water from spraying over the floor. There was also a faucet under the sink, not sure what that’s about. The gentleman who helped us with our luggage and parking upon arrival was the exception, so lovely and we were grateful to him. This place has potential if they invest in upgrades and customer service training for staff. Location was great, close to many restaurants and shops.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. The reception and staff were extremely unprofessional and rude throughout my stay. When I arrived, I was told that check-in was at 3 PM and that I would receive a call when my room was ready. However, I did not receive the call until 4:30 PM, which was highly inconvenient and frustrating. Overall, the lack of professionalism and courtesy from the staff made my stay far from enjoyable. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to others based on my experience.

As noted by other trip advisor comments the hotel is not a 5 star rating as the rooms are very outdated with dark wood. The dark wood has layers of polish but could do with cleaning Some of the desk vanity units clearly hadn't been cleaned. The most disappointing aspect was the breakfast room. I’ve never seen a carpeted area and lack of ventilation as on several days it was very stuffy and lucky we stayed when it was cooler. The food choice was poor as very little fresh fruit and was concerned over the lack of cold storage / plate as the milk on several occasions was very warm (one day it was brought out it was still warm!). All poached / fried eggs had to be orders so a few times we had a long wait for them to be cooked so not easy to plan a cooked breakfast. Toast machine was worst ever encountered as well as being in an awkward spot. We went out for breakfast on a few occasions as it wasn’t the best experience. The rest of the hotel was lovely including the pool area and abundant choice of beds as well as use of beds on the beach. The hotel was spotless otherwise and our stay was let down by the breakfast and certainly did not want us to consider dining at the hotel. It’s a shame as modernising the rooms and breakfast area would make this more in line with a good 4 star
