Jupiter Albufeira Hotel - Family & Fun - All Inclusive

The best all inclusive we have ever stayed in. Hotel is spotless. Staff are really helpful. There were always enough Sunbed’s and no rushing for meal times as I have found with other all inclusives. The food is really nice and different themes every night. The restaurants which you can book into are really good and different food from the buffet you can choose from a menu. The rooms are lovely and really clean. There’s loads to do for the kids. We went out two nights and there are lots of restaurants near by.

Amazing Family Holiday. Hotel is lovely and clean. Staff are very nice and friendly. Food is hot and lots of variety to choose from, always something for the fussy eaters! Pools were great! The animation pro team made our holiday memorable!

Food & Drink - Plenty of choice for all of us, buffet restaurant was by far the best I’ve been too and had HP Sauce for brek which I was a fan of. A la carte restaurants were delicious and fabulous service. Snack bars provide ice cream and crisps all day, didn’t really need it for much else but had baguettes too and the outside bit of the buffet restaurant had pizzas etc late afternoon Rooms - Tidy, Clean with everything you needed. hairdryer is standard so if longer hair bring your own. sofa bed should be an actual bed which was my only complaint. Kids were fine on it but mine are only small. Safe was free. Bathroom had hand wash, shower gel and shampoo but used my own. Kettle, tea & coffee provided and a mini fridge. Plenty of sockets x Pools & Slides - Kids were in the water all day and we went in a few times too, yes it’s cold but once in it’s fine. Daytime entertainment round the pool was really good. Team got all kids & adults engaged and really tried their hardest. Even got the kids involved in one of the evening shows which I thought was amazing. Shuttle bus was handy to get to the old town and was free Gym - found the gym was basic but everything you needed for a holiday workout The bars around the resort are also really nice and loved the rooftop terrace We went to aquamarine for a day and booked an Uber. Cheap and reliable

Had an enjoyable week at the Jupiter in August 2024. We found all of the staff very helpful and friendly. We had a sea view delux room which was spotlessly clean, the room was serviced everyday. Our kids enjoyed the kids clubs that are run every morning and afternoon and easy to arrange / drop off when they decided they wanted to go… no need to pre book. There was a movie night where they watched a film on the all weather pitch and they all had popcorn and sleeping bags. They also had a moana show, one of our kids did the rehearsals in the day with the show that evening in the tent, worth a watch. The food is generally good, plenty of choice for young fussy children, the Brazilian restaurant is well worth a visit. There is no shortage of food, you can pretty much eat from early morning to midnight. The water slides are fairly good 5 or 6 different slides, good for 20min or so at a time to help break up the day, there is a large pool area with different activities on through the day. The ones who run the activities / kids club are really great and do help make it fun. The foam party on the Friday was loved by the kids We hired a Bali bed for one of the days, this is in the quieter pool area but still kid friendly The only issues we found was that you had to be down very early to get a lounger with parasol, I think a few more sunshades are required, this might help the morning rush to reserve a space. The other issue was the volume of the music around the main pool, some days it was that loud you struggled talking, I think it’s fine to crank it up when doing the disco / water activities, but was too much some days Overall a great stay and recommended for families

This was one of the best all-inclusive inclusive I have stayed in I have a 2 and 5 year old, The rooms are roomy and shower is fantastic beds made up everyday and roomed cleaned fresh towels given when old one not hung up free beach towels which can be exchanged for fresh whenever you want. The food was great the kids selection not massive just the basic nuggets chips fish fingers and a pasta so my kids had what ever was on offer for the adults in general or the Italian bar food as this could be prepared fresh. So much fruit and salad can't go wrong breakfast was amazing so much on offer you can't not eat. And the desserts were amazing I definitely came back heavier . Snacks all day long were good ice-cream crisps pasta. The pools were great so much fun a small one a kids splash area slides and a huge pool with swim up bar my 5 year old favorite sitting having a drink at The kids entertainment was great a little later than I would have likes as disco was at 8.15 and show started at 9pm so my 2 year old was generally always wanting to go to bed by then but the bouncy and the go carts good (yes a little extra in euros but worth it for the time you get on them) Sky bar is lovely and worth a visit just for the views and a short walk through new town to the beech or you can get the complementary shuttle straight down. Beech is lovely. Overall fabulous holiday the staff are always there to help and so many just constantly cleaning and tidying. X

We have just returned from a 7-day stay at this hotel. There were 2 families: 3 adults and 3 picky eater kids. Firstly, the hotel is spotless. All public areas and rooms are clean, and cleaning is constantly being done. I saw no building work taking place in the 7 days I was there (22nd -29th May 2024) and certainly no rubble, dust, or tools. The buffet restaurant is laid out nicely, is modern, and has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Each night has a theme. The food is hot and plentiful. We always had meals at the start of sittings, so I can't comment if you turn up late. The restaurant table is laid with bottled water, glassware, and metal cutlery. I did not see disposable cutlery of any kind anywhere!! They do have plastic beakers for safety in all outdoor eating or pool areas as a lot of people are barefoot or at the swim-up bar. Both indoor bars have glassware. There are lots of food options, both hot counter mains, a daily special, a chilled section, and loads of desserts at every sitting. Please bear in mind if you get food and then continue to wander the buffett. It's going to be cold by the time you sit down. Just get smaller amounts and go back if you want more. It stays hot then. Staff come to get drinks orders at your tables and clear away empty plates very promptly. We only used the buffet restaurants or pool snack bar for allmeals. The rooftop bar is lovely on the 10th floor with stunning views. There are plenty of sunbeds around both pools. The pools are chilly but fine after 5 mins being in. Drinking water dispensers on each floor The restaurants have self-serve, fizzy drink juices, and hot drink machines Kettle and mugs in rooms and small fridge. We re filled water and chilled for in the room We didn't go to the entertainment as our room overlooked the tent. we sat on the balcony and sang along most nights. Our aircon wasn't great. They did come quickly to set it up, but it really didn't cool our room (246), but we cooled the room down with the aircon off and the door open a bit. There were no mosquitos at all in the evening while we were there. The shuttle bus service provided is a brill bonus we used nearly every day. All in all, this was a really good hotel. 9/10 from us. The lifts lose it a point. As they have a mind of their own !!

I had been so worried about this hotel seeing the reviews leading up to our stay, but I really needn’t have worried. It is what it is, and by that I mean, it’s your typical all inclusive family resort. Busy, loud, children focused, tacky entertainment. Cafeteria style restaurant, clientele can be a bit annoying etc, but I repeat it is what is it. We personally never do all inclusive but having children, it’s such a treat to feel so flexible with all the amenities available suited to children. Like previous reviews, I have to say , people’s experience are their own and I’m not saying they aren’t relevant, but you have to take it as it comes for yourself. The staff from our experience are wonderful and nothing seems too much. As long as you set your bar as average you’re going to have a lovely family holiday.

Nice hotel. Very family friendly & it's well run. Food is great & the rooms are spacious & clean. The pools are cold, they are freshwater so to be expected but they are very cold. The lifts are a disaster. Everyone who calls a lift puts in what floor they are planning on going to & they are directed to a specific lift. That lift then stops at all floors that were inputted whether the person that called it is in the lift or not. They have 5 lifts which would be ample if they operated in the usual way but we ended up just carrying the pram up & downstairs, as did most people. It wouldn't put me off going back but if you were travelling alone with kids or had mobility issues I wouldn't go here. Toiletries and toilet roll is not 5* either.

Everyone bases their reviews on their own experiences of their holiday. This is ours, so I'm not judging those who may have a different view. We stayed in Vila Petra the last time we were in Albuferia, just round the corner from the Jupiter. We don't normally do all inclusive, especially in this resort as there are so many great places to eat, but thought we would give it a try for a ten night stay. Overall we were/are very happy as we still have two nights left. We've found all the staff we have been in contact with to be friendly and helpful. My wife had an issue relating to back in the UK which she needed resolved, or it would ruin her holiday. I spoke to reception who dealt with it there and then. Thank you again for both your understanding and support here!! The rooms were kept clean at all times by the maids who often go unnoticed. As mentioned, we don't normally do all inclusive but found the food on offer of good quality, but for us ten days was just too much. I can understand how it would suit young families with the ice creams and juice whenever they wanted. We booked through Jet2 like most if not all people. It does state with an Astrix that the mini bar if wanted comes at an extra cost. I would recommend this hotel for people with young families who like all inclusive hotels, especially given the pool, water play park and water slides. We will be back to Albuferia, many times, but won't do all inclusive as we like to wander through the old town and find somewhere to eat. A big thank you to all the staff at the hotel Jupiter for what you do to make it a great holiday!! Pity the weather wasn't great, but is often the case when we've been here in October.
