Baia Grande Hotel
Portugal, Europe
Albufeira
It isn't always easy to find a hotel with the right combination of amenities, comfort and elegance – all set in the right location. But when you choose the Algarve, the possibilities open right up.
Beautifully situated, overlooking the sea at Sesmarias, the Baia Grande hotel is a wonderful example of a hotel that meets all those criteria. Set in elegant, well-tended lawns, it shows how a modern hotel can look at one with its surroundings. You'll be assured of a warm welcome and a very comfortable stay – the wide ranging amenities mean you'll want for nothing.
Elegant surroundings and spectacular outlooks all within easy reach of Albufeira:
When you stay at the Baia Grande Hotel, you'll immediately notice just how well presented it all is. Clearly this is a hotel where great care and attention have been lavished on everything from the beautifully laid out swimming pools to the elegant guests' rooms.
All twin/double rooms are air conditioned, and feature full en suite bathrooms. You'll also have satellite TV, telephone, minibar and hairdryer, a safe and Wi-Fi. And, as you'd expect of a four star Algarve hotel, all guests' rooms have a balcony or terrace with a pool or ocean view.
The pool really is something very special. It's been beautifully designed – complete with a walkway to a central island, and is one of the most enticing on the Algarve. There is also an indoor pool – with sauna and Jacuzzi facilities. And you can hire the hotel masseuse to soothe away any aches and pains.
Another great benefit of staying at the Baia Grande Hotel is its location – just half a mile to Galé beach, and a couple to Albufeira. And to make it even easier for you to get there, you can catch a free bus to Albufeira or Galé from the hotel (weekdays only).
With its palm trees, and its beautiful sense of design, Baia Grande Hotel is a wonderful place to call your holiday home. It proves that finding the right kind of hotel is always worth the effort.

Fab
This is a lovely hotel . We holiday 6 times a year and by far the best breakfast I have ever had on an overseas holiday. Don't do half board as expensive compared to bread and breakfast, hotel your doing yourself no favours. Don't listen to moaners saying it's in the middle of nowhere , if you want the old town then book old town it's clear when booking that it's out of the way , do your research . The location is ok , just get an Uber at 5 euro into Gale or albufeira. No sunbed wars just peace and quiet which is bliss. Reason for 4 stars is there is damp in the room and around the hotel. Book if you don't mind cheap Ubers to get to tourist places in the heart of it.
Disappointed
Firstly, I will say that the hotel is beautiful and very clean. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, the bathrooms beautiful.
Location wasn't the best as nothing in surroundings really but having said that there was a shuttle bus 3 times a day provided for free which was a saving grace. Most staff were really lovely and kind, always happy to help, particularly Andre who worked in restaurant.
Some staff on reception could do with some extra training in how to speak to people.
Down side.......we paid full board. So this means breakfast, lunch and dinner. All drinks had to be paid for which ok is acceptable but water? Literally was so expensive 😩 we had to go out and buy cheap water for our room as paying 5 euros for a bottle is astronomical. There wasn't even a water machine where we could fill up our own bottle. So when we went for dinner we just ate and left. Shame really..because we were full board you would expect plenty of high quality food.....unfortunately not the case, and the choice is extremely limited. I felt cheated to be honest we ended up eating out a lot but again only very few surroundings with restaurants that were very expensive. We weren't even allowed ice cream at lunch time 😒. Again we were full board. Even had to pay for towels, and a swimming cap for the indoor pool! I did purchase this as wanted to exercise. This isn't a 4 star hotel in our opinion, should be 3. Housekeeping was very poor aswell, often wanting to clean our room at 5pm . Most of the time it was around 2pm.
Entertainment was awful. Every night people just sat around reception on their phones while someone sang very badly or played saxophone. Nothing to get people Entertained at all.
We tried to just make the best of it, but would never come again. Poor quality for 4 star hotel. Sorry

Amazing!!
Amazing staff, super friendly. Rooms are clean and spacious. The pools are super clean too. Will definitely come back!
Amazing !
It was amazing. Been here with a big group of people with special needs and that went all the way to make it the best experience for us. The food tasted amazing and they paid attention for all the allergies.
A very enjoyable stay
We just returned from a very enjoyable stay. This is our second time staying and they’ve refurbished the bathrooms and moved the dining room to the 4th floor which has amazing views. I’d like to see the refurbishments extending to the rest of the hotel in time. Food was nice but felt the selection was limited in the evening. Although breakfast was plentiful. Great food served from the pool bar. Staff were amazing and very friendly apart from one woman. Although they provide a free shuttle bus, you need to reserve your place ahead of time. Ubers are very affordable.
