NAU Sao Rafael Atlantico

Beautiful location with direct access to some of the nicest coastal scenery and a few beaches (Sao Rafael, Arrifes). The staff is very friendly and the food is excellent (the breakfast buffet has everything you need, the dinner buffet - exceptional quality, and also the food at the bar was always very good). The pool areas are very nice too. They also have bathrobes and slippers in the room, plus water boiler and coffee machine. I was here at the end of November and all the restaurants nearby were closed for winter. So it was good to have good restaurants in the hotel. Otherwise, you need to go to Albufeira Marina or the old town, which is too far to walk, so you need a car or a taxi.

The property is a large resort with beautiful pools that were very clean with lots of chairs and umbrellas

The hotel has spacious rooms with great views. The breakfast was delicious; you have a great selection of different foods. I also liked the indoor pool and gym. Hotel is located near beautiful beach and in a quiet area. I definitely recommend the hotel if you are planning a trip to Algarve.

A properly sized room 30+ m2 that is a rare find for not so modern construction and also well planned room layout. Also properly sized hotel that has a touch of privacy feeling without crowds of tourists. Good breakfast with natural juices and good coffee, no confusion, but relaxed atmosphere. Enough place for car parking without extra fees and hassle. You have plenty of dining options outside of a hotel and the area is well covered by Uber drivers.

Stayed in this hotel for 8 nights with my husband. The service was exceptional. I have visited over 27 countries and can honestly say this was the best holiday I have ever had! I am gluten and dairy intolerant and we were there in a half board basis, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate me. The chef cooked my food separately every night and even made a delicious dairy free and gluten free cake for my birthday; we didn’t ask for this and it was such an amazing surprise! We were greeted by a bottle of champagne on arrival and another bottle was left in my room on the day of my birthday. The room was huge and very clean. The room was very quiet, comfortable bed and I slept like a baby, the room was also on top floor as requested, beautiful views. Whatever we asked for the staff always responded immediately to every request. I cannot recommend this place enough.
