The hotel itself is beautiful, large spacious rooms, however, over priced in terms of food in terms of quality. They also charge an additional €125 euros per extra bed per night and take a €100 euros on check in, if your not expecting that cost it will be a surprise on arriving. The location is great, accessible to some great beaches and staff are as accommodating as they can be. Probably wouldn’t select a Marriott group hotel in the future.

Only a year old 5 star hotel. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Location and place is neat, lovely and has its own flare of eclectic interior. Big disappointment and draw back especially for families with older children (13 & 12) is the hotel rule of not allowing children in the main swimming pool ( even if the depth of this adult pool is less than 5 feet ) and restricting them in the children pool ( actually a wading pool for young children). We stayed for 2 days and have been told 3x of this rule, while other families’ children were allowed to use the adult pool. It’s worth considering a 2nd attempt of vacation if this rule is remove, despite the very expensive cost.

Normally, I almost never give reviews. But the W hotel chain, at least W Algarve, is a sociologically interesting hotel to analyze. This review aims to analyze the establishment in relation to its 5-star rating. Please bear this in mind as you read. So to start with, W Algarve is a perfectly adequate luxury hotel for the wealthy that has the cultural capital of a 4-star hotel. Indeed, this hotel lacks refinement, especially in terms of service, as little as there is elsewhere. As the world becomes more proletarian, it's obviously no wonder the hotel chain decided to make their hotels a haven for upper-class millennials, but perhaps they should have considered including ecology in their marketing approach (the hotel is indeed very wellness-oriented), in order to increase the loyalty of this clientele, which is particularly involved in political life (too much plastic in their establishment), much more than their baby-boomer parents, who are more inclined to complain about their standard of living, which continues to decrease. This hotel has the advantage of allowing its guests to bring their pets, which is a real plus, but again, from this perspective, it would make more logical sense to include sustainability. In short, if you are deeply attached to luxury and to the service that this implies, as well as to the quality of food, don't go to this hotel. There's no refinement and the food is 4 star level. This hotel is worth 300 per night, no more. Don't pay more, just don't

The staff were SO friendly and AMAZING! We can’t wait to come back!!! Special thanks to Miguel, Tatiana, and the chef at Paper Moon for making us feel like family. We ate there every night of our stay and we looked forward to it every time. I recommend the panna cotta! I ordered one at dinner……and then an extra one to take back to the room and eat! The food is out of this world!!! Another big thank you goes out to Anna at the front desk. We really wanted to take one of the fish pillows from our room home with us, and although that was not possible, she brought us the most adorable fish keychain and a sweet personal note to take with us. Everyone at the hotel really went out of their way to make us feel special and important. We tried hard not to cry as we left… … .

Awful experience
Worst hotel experience, ruined our yearly family trip. Booked W for 3 nights. Day of arrival had dinner at Paper Moon restaurant. Shared dish with my son that was not at the menu: gnocchi with Raw shrimps. Next day both woke up with food poisoning. Stayed in the room sick for 2 days. We were planning skydiving , ATV tour, horse back riding and spa treatments but instead of exploring Algarve, we were in pain. Consider that hotel had very low occupancy I asked manager Andrea Vieites for complimentary days but she refused. I was told that shrimps were send to “third party to analyze” and I would receive an email with results. It’s been 3 days I haven’t heard from Andrea yet.
