What guests think

At The Magnolia Hotel, guests consistently praise the friendly, attentive staff, generous breakfast, and relaxing pool, while feedback on the location is mixed—convenient for golfers and rideshare users but less walkable, with some preferring taxis.

Rooms are modern and comfortable but frequently small, with limited storage, compact bathrooms, occasional dark lighting, and sporadic noise from air conditioning or nearby areas. Guests like the gym and pleasant bar and lounge spaces, and cleanliness is generally high, with one report of a housekeeping miss resolved when raised. Overall, expect a comfortable base in the Algarve suited to golf and relaxing by the pool.

Our room was a decent size with balcony. Great shower & big bed!! Pool area was great, just what we needed to chill for a few days. Walkable to the Bouganvilla shopping centre with designer outlets, restaurants and pubs like the fabulous Cheeky Pup!! And a short drive from all the great beach restaurants like Maria’s, Julia’s, Izzy’s etc. Staff were all lovely and so helpful - many thanks!

Magnolia is a nice hotel with pleasant surroundings. The rooms are adequate, beds are comfy; though could use better space planning lfor the rooms. wWe were informed a renovation is coming later this year. The breakfast is quite good and the lounge and bar areas are nice. Best of all the staff are awesome, friendly and willing to assist where possible.

The hotel overall was friendly & the service was good. However, room cleaning was missed on two occasions. This was however, put right when raised with management. Access to the two bedroom cottages in which we stayed was a cobbled road, with many displaced trip hazard cobbles and was even worse around our cottage.

We chose the Magnolia hotel because of its convenient location right between two groups of Golf Courses- Quinta Do Lago (South, North and Laranjah courses) and Vale do Lago( Royal and Ocean courses). It exceeded our expectations from the moment we checked in. We arrived at early morning, much earlier than the check-in time, but the front desk staff checked us in right away. The process was fast and efficient. We had a room on the ground floor, very quiet, and we could park our rental car right in front of the room which was super convenient for golfers. The breakfast has good variety and the staff was very attentive. The cleaning staff was very discreet. The room always got cleaned at the right time. It was a pleasant stay! Highly recommended for a golf trip in Algarve.

Hotel was great - you can borrow bikes to get into Quinta shopping in about 3 minutes. Ubers are extremely quick, reliable and cheap to get into other areas such as Vale do Lobo (around 4 euros!). Lovely pool, amazing breakfast with so much to choose from. The only downside would be how loud the aircon was in our room.

Location

Location suits golfers and those using cars or ride hailing, with easy access to Quinta do Lago and nearby areas. Several guests found walking difficult or unsafe due to limited pavements, and it is away from beaches and some restaurants, though shopping is walkable for some.
