BaySide Salgados Golf & Beach Resort

We have stayed here since Tuesday and have had a lovely time. Not the best weather, but no one's fault! It's in a quiet area but a 15 minute walk to a variety of restaurants. The best one's we found were along the sea front. The breakfast has been fresh and a good choice - all presented well and very clean. Served in the bar which is also very bright and hospitable. Our room suited our needs and is very clean. They gave us extra pillows and a safe key when we asked. The hotel is quiet so we've slept well too. The area is quiet and great for walkers. We can't find many negatives apart from the cold pool but no one to blame there!

I would advise anyone thinking of visiting the Bayside Salgados in September to look elsewhere. A group of around 20 who visit every year think they own the place, and a few of them are very rude and obnoxious. One of them actually grabbed me and when my husband intervened he was threatened with a pool cue. All of this happened in front of the head barman, who actually defended the the drunken yobs. The beach is 30 mins walk away, and the nearest shop is at least 15 mins. Taxis are needed every day and night if you wish to visit Albufiera. The apartments are stuck in the middle of nowhere. The only good thing I can say about this place is that the cleaning staff were great.

Beautiful, mature and well-kept grounds, very clean apartments, plenty of breakfast choices, spacious pool, great staff (reception & housekeeping), however, unreliable Wifi despite the manager's intervention. The local beach, with lifeguards and part of a beautiful natural reserve, is only 15 mins walk, clean, with a little bar and toilets and a Thai massage hut. We would stay there again anytime.
