Just arrived back from the Paraiso. If the guy below thinks this is the best hotel he's ever been too he really needs to get out more....you'll be surprised! Like other people have stated, this is far from being a 4* hotel. It makes you wonder who actually gives the star rating and whether they were smoking something strong at... more

If you really want a 4 star hotel PLEASE do not go to this one, it may have been 4 star 20 years ago!!!!! We went through 3 rooms in a 4 night stay, be wary if you book a studio then you will have either a room facing a busy road or a garden view next to the elevators... more

I am just back from the Paraiso with my boyfriend, mum and 13 year old brother and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. We went all inclusive and was definitely worth it. It is in a great location between the old town and the strip - me and my boyfriend are both 25 and both preffered the old town so a... more

Just come back from a weeks stay at this hotel. On arrival we were told that we had been given an upgrade to a studio as the type of room we booked was not available - the room they gave us was HUGE! it was divided into two sections the bedroom and the bathroom (bed massive) and the kitchen and... more

Having read all the good reviews my fiancé and I were really looking forward to staying in this hotel. Don’t be fooled into thinking you are going to get 4-star standards from this hotel, it is more like an average to low 3-star. We did have a lovely holiday but it was more despite the hotel than because of it.... more

My husband, me and our 15 month old son have just returned from a week in a self-catering one bed apartment at this hotel. Based on other reviews saying that balconies are unsuitable for small children, we requested a ground floor room, which I'd recommend - ours overlooked the large garden area and was perfect for our little one to... more

Just got back from Paraiso de Albufeira had a brilliant time. Lee, Kaz, Sam and KIm were great entertainers and work very very hard. Apartment was very clean but beds where hard (if you are going i would put a blanket under you). We where all inclusive, food not bad could have been better but staff were always helpful and... more

I stayed at this hotel from 24sep for a week with my partner, 2 babies and 2 friends. First impressions of the lobby and reception were good. Check in was easy and although we were 2 hours early for the 2pm check in, we could leave our luggage in storage and go for lunch which was fine. We stayed in... more

We stayed at this hotel all inclusive (Thomas Cook) and had a very enjoyable week. I would recommend this hotal for anyone else intending to go all inclusive however I would pass on my observations for anyone planning half board or self catering who is on a tight budget. All soft drinks, mixers, local spirits, beers and wine are free... more
