Algarve Marriott Salgados Golf Resort & Conference Center

Best golf Ground and dining is also fine and I been there for Couple of time and I had really good experience. And I also recommend people if someone really wants to experience and explore Algarve . People want to enjoy the golf they have great option.

The hotel is luxurious. I had a bad experience with the receptionists. They haven't passed the information through themselves and unfortunately because of this we were waiting for hop on hop of bus 1 hour at the bus stop on 30°C . One month ago the have had an update for the bus timing,but they didn't know about this. The lobby bar according the capacity of the hotel guests is super tiny. Everything else I was happy with!

I completely agree with Hellie72! Everything is exactly as our party of four adults also feel. The noise in the ‘canteen’ was totally unacceptable as was the children running around, the quality of the food was inconsistent. Yes it’s a family hotel, we have stayed in plenty of these but this was the worst experience we have ever had. As for the all inclusive plus, that’s a joke! Self-service in a 5* hotel with paper cups for coffee? One visit token to the Moonlight restaurant was well appreciated, pity this wasn’t every night! The pool bar/food should be accessible to all and not just a one pre booked visit token! The rooms were well maintained but being on the bottom floor made it dingy especially on the balcony plus renovation work could be heard from the apartment block opposite the hotel. So the 5 stars are really a puzzle to how they were achieved. We have stayed in better 3/4 stars! Yes it’s very convenient for golfing, the course is a definite but that’s just about it! There’s so much space at this hotel that could be utilised more and maybe give adults a space to sit and relax too?

Completely agree with 'Hellie72' everything that was written was spot on!!! Even down to the dismal corridors. The one meal per stay in the Moonlight restaurant was heaven as you could actually hear yourself speak and fabulous friendly staff. Having nowhere for adults to go and chill out without hearing constant babies or toddlers screaming would be great! What is that all about not being able to eat at the 19th Hole restaurant! It's the Pool bar/restaurant and we should be able to choose to eat there any day not just one a week!! The hotel seems to go really big but such a lot of wasted space! 5 star you are not!!

The main reason I have scored this resort low is due to the quality of the food. I learnt a hard lesson on this trip that 5* was awarded due to number of amenities rather than quality of amenities. I would rate Salgados Palace a 2/3* for quality which is a big drop when you are expecting 5*. The advertising is misleading as it puts "luxury" hotel however this is referring to the spa which is a payable amenity. The buffet area was extremely busy during peak times and the quality of the food was not appetising. It was apparent that low cost food had been used. The staff in this area were also not attentive or very helpful. Due to the quality of the food, my partner and I ate most of our lunches and dinners outside of the resort which led to a considerable additional cost we didn't anticipate spending as we had purchased all inclusive. We did make a complaint to the hotel. I was expected to be offered a free meal as a GOGW due to our experience of the food and how disappointed we were however we were not offered this. Please note, we had dinner at the hotel's Moonlight restaurant (payable a la carte restaurant) one evening, the food was amazing, so were the staff and the view of sunset was incredible. It was such a shame the staff were not as attentive in other areas of the hotel resort, mainly the all in one buffet area. My partner and I were put off by the swimming area when we arrived due to the loudness of the music and how busy it was. This atmosphere may be preferable for some but adding it in the review in case this is an important factor to choosing a resort. Once the peak period was over the pool areas did slightly calm and it was fairly enjoyable. Beach location - The beach is one of the best I have seen and been on. There were plenty of parasols to rent should you wish to have one. The beach also felt very safe. It was a 15 minute walk from the hotel and it was a lovely walk. Spa - This was lovely to use. It was 10 EURO each but this isn't a lot when considering how much this would cost in the UK. Appearance and upkeep of Hotel - The appearance was quite tired. eg scuffs on furniture, Personally, this isn't an important factor, but again if you are expecting 5* quality, the general appearance wouldn't be There were some positives however overall I would never consider returning to the resort, it felt more family orientated rather than couples however the main reason was the quality of the food and staff in the buffet area.

This is our second time staying at Salgados Palace, and once again, it was an excellent experience. The hotel offers great food throughout the day, the rooms are good and the entertainment options are top-notch. The Kids Club is fantastic, with entertainers who truly enjoy their work and build wonderful relationships with the children. A special shoutout to Francisco Tomás, Ana Rita Farinha, and Cláudia Tavares, as my daughter loved spending time with them. Andrew Santos and José Ferreira were also incredibly helpful and attentive in the club. The Pirates swimming pool was a hit with the kids, although the water was a bit cold, and the pool was closed for two days for cleaning. The only downside was the noise. The karaoke, shows, and live music were held inside the building, and the sound could be heard throughout the hotel. It would be much better if the volume were lower and if the fire doors leading to the rooms were closed by 10 PM to keep the noise down. Additionally, the guest room doors could use some adjustments to minimize the noise when closing, and signs reminding guests to be mindful of noise in the corridors would be appreciated. Unfortunately, some guests were inconsiderate, with loud conversations, shouting, and children running in the hallways. Overall, it was a good stay that could have been fantastic with better noise control.
