Spent 3 nights. Don't get me wrong, even the cheapest Wonderful rooms are amazing and the service is outstanding. But... 'unfortunately' our preceeding stay was at Domes Lake and the maintenance of the green areas, the (35pp + service charge!) breakfast and the service in general were just on a next level in comparison.
While booking, I asked if the pool was heated. Unfortunately not, but I was referred to the spa/jakuzzi instead. They 'forgot' to mention that was at extra charge which is just hilarious in this category.

We stayed at the W Algarve in early October 2025. Our room was outstanding. Very spacious 1br setup with a private garden terrace. The service was excellent and everyone on the property was interested in making sure we had a pleasant stay. We would love to go back again in the future.

Beautiful Property, Disappointing Service
The W is undeniably a stunning resort with a lovely pool and spacious rooms. Unfortunately, our stay was overshadowed by poor service.
It started at check-in with a delayed room and an unfriendly receptionist. At both the pool and the breakfast area there was virtually no service—you have to approach staff yourself for anything. After sharing our concerns with the manager, Beatrice, who was genuinely kind and tried to help, we were offered complimentary spa access. Yet it’s surprising that this small facility normally costs €20 per person, and the spa staff were just as unfriendly, so we chose not to return. Instead, we visited the Royal Thai massage studio next door and received far warmer and more professional treatment.
The dinner we booked through the hotel at Paper Moon—an establishment we’d loved in Milan—was another letdown. We had requested a sunset table, but were kept waiting 30 minutes while a large empty table sat unused. Only after insisting were we seated there, and the service remained curt and unfriendly, ruining the experience.
Bottom line: The resort itself is beautiful, but consistently poor service and rude staff spoiled our stay. Not recommended.

My favourite hotel in the Algarve. The sunsets here are absolutely mesmerising, especially from Air, which offers stunning views from the edge. The pool was kept at the perfect temperature with plenty of seating available. Every staff member I encountered was genuinely friendly and welcoming. A truly memorable stay at W Algarve.

WOW. this property! Firstly I was compelled to write a review right away just from my check in experience alone, I still haven’t even checked out yet, but my experience so far has been nothing short of amazing. I was greeted by Diogo and the front desk reception Mariana and Jayson who were from the minute I walked in just so warm welcoming, electric energy and made the check in process so smooth and seamless, they were like GENUINELY friendly that is so rare these days! also they thoroughly explained all the hotel facilities, and shared suggestions on all things algarve. The welcome drink was a nice refreshing touch to a hot summer day.
Upon checking in, I got to my room and honestly all i can say is BEAUTIFUL. the cleanliness, the balcony, the views the nice little touch with the welcome card + pastel de nata were SOOO GOOD👌 This hotel has a huge facility, with a spa/gym (haven’t had a chance to use this yet) but the fountain show and wet deck bar is nice! The hotel is close to a small little beach, just a short walk away and it was nice to catch the sunset. I had dinner at Paper moon, that I definitely recommend to go check out during sunset. the ocean views are incredible. I recommend getting the Gnochetti it was really good! After dinner we walked by the Lounge and there was a DJ playing, the hotel was quite quiet for a thursday night but I can imagine when the summer rush picks up it would be good vibes.
Overall such a good experience and I totally recommend as a MUST stay when visiting in Algarve. From the Hotel, to the views, and the hotel staff that make it worth while!
