4-star beachfront hotel with direct access to Praia dos Alemães and an indoor seawater pool
Location & Beach Access
Alisios sits on the Algarve cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, with a private pathway leading directly to Praia dos Alemães. The hotel is 1 km from Albufeira Old Town, reachable by a 10-minute walk along the beachfront or promenade. Escalators connect the promenade to the old town, and Oura Beach is a short distance away.
Rooms & Amenities
Guest rooms open onto private balconies via floor-to-ceiling windows, offering sea or garden views. Each room has air conditioning, a safety deposit box (charged at €1.50 per day), and a private bathroom. Rooms are cleaned daily, and the hotel provides beach towel rental for €20 with a refundable deposit.
Dining & Entertainment
The outdoor terrace restaurant serves seafood, barbecue, and salads until 21:30 during summer months, with a menu that includes starters like prawn cocktail and mains like steak or salmon. A buffet breakfast is offered each morning with hot and cold options, including made-to-order eggs and omelettes (omelettes incur a €4 charge). Live music and evening entertainment are available on select summer evenings, and drinks and cocktails are served throughout the day.
Pool & Wellness
The hotel has an indoor seawater pool that is heated, providing a swimming option regardless of weather. A rooftop terrace with sun loungers overlooks the ocean, and steps lead down to the beach where guests can rent sunbeds and parasols from the lifeguards (€15 per day). On-site spa services are available, and the indoor pool requires a swim cap (available for €5).
Services & Activities
The hotel is family-owned, which contributes to the personal attention from staff, including concierge service for arranging tours and boat excursions. Bicycle rental is available for exploring the area, and the hotel offers free private parking on site.

Adequate stay
easy access great breakfast strict policy hard bed
The location is great. It provides easy access to the beach. Breakfast included many options. (I especially enjoyed the fresh fruit.)
The hotel enforces a policy that felt very strict. The bed was not comfortable. It was too firm for my preference.
