Algarve Marriott Salgados Golf Resort & Conference Center

Myself and my teenage daughter stayed here for 5 days in June 2024 for a business trip with work. The hotel is tucked away from a lot of things and doesn't have easy access to a beach but has 3 really lovely pools, two which are pretty quiet and one for children with a ship and slides and sprinklers. The rooms were very spacious and clean and the bathroom was bright, shower was powerful, bed and pillows and blankets all very comfortable. We ate every day in the restaurants and there was always a good selection of food to choose from. There was a great range of mocktails (for myself and my daughter as I am AF) which tasted a lot like the real thing, minus the booze which I was very grateful for. We spent time in the conference rooms for business having some training, and a lot of time relaxing by the pool where there was always ample space for loungers and the pool was a good refreshing temperature without being too cold. We did have to put a cash deposit down for the towels and you get a towel card so you can refresh them each day but I wasnt aware of that before we came and had minimal cash but managed to do it. It's returned to you when you hand in your towel cards when you check out. The reception staff were friendly and helped booked taxi's for us to go into Albuferia. There is a great little train that takes you to the beaches too which you can pick up outside the hotel. We loved our stay here but due to how far away it is from a lot of things I probably wouldn't personally choose to stay again. But the hotel itself had no problems at all.

Only consider staying here if you want a hotel stay completely free of any form of management, customer welfare or staff care! It felt like a creche most nights with the children taking over. It really was shocking how unwelcoming the reception staff are and generally the staff pride themselves on being completely detached.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I have no words to describe how amazing this hotel is! Perfect place, astonishing rooms, great staff. Super clean, great food, and the swimming pool area is just great. The hotel is nearby the beach so you can actually take a walk there every time that you want.

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.

I had high expectations for the hotel, but i was a little disappointed. The rooms are nice and we had a nice view to the pools. But the hotel it's very busy, the pools were always full (but that comes with the high season I guess), but the worst it's really the meals. The food it's ok, but the service it's not good. Food everywhere (floor, tables, etc), hard to get a clean table. Maybe it would improve if they set schedules and that way they don't have 90% of the hotel going to eat at the same time. On the other side, the activities for the kids are great, my daughter loved the magic show, and the front desk people are great. I wanted to charge my car and even not having a slot that would fit to my schedule, they went above and beyond to find me a slot and they made it, event after I told them that it was not a problem and I could live without charging my car. That it's what I expect from a 5 star hotel. I heard that the property it will start operating under the Marriott brand, so I expect some improvements there, and I will probably return to try it out.

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?
