The resort is beautifully situated with stunning views and direct access to a lovely beach.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Suites Alba in the Algarve. The hotel is tucked away in a beautiful, secluded area right on the cliffs with stunning beach access, making it perfect for those looking to escape the typical tourist spots. The facilities, especially the pools, were excellent for our family, but the dining experience had a few hiccups. Overall, it was a great place for us, though some aspects could be improved.
