Modern Condo - unexpected extra charge

The property is a fairly new contemporary condo with pool, restaurant and some other facilities. It is located away from the town center and not within walking distance to the beach. There is a nice, but crowded pool and a fitness center that is not used (locked). We were required to pay an unexpected extra charge at check in. We had reservations for 3 adults and 1 child and were told that we needed to pay an additional 20 Euros per night for the third adult. We were told that it was for an additional bed that we did not need, did not want and did not use. Not a good start. I do not recommend this property due to this surprise charge. Additionally, the "Family Friendly Facilities" listed "Laundry Facilities". The staff said that there are no laundry facilities on the property but we could drive somewhere to find a laundry. The room runs out of hot water fairly quickly.

Relaxing and quiet environment, great hotel

We had a whole villa to ourselves (2 people), 5 nights. 1-bedroom (the staff locked the 2nd bedroom - we didn't need it, plus it would be more money), very spacious dining area and living room, again spacious bathroom with bathtub and bidet, plus equipped kitchen, nice little patio outside of sliding door. Absolutely no complaints - maybe just wifi that was very weak in our place, had to go to the hotel's lobby for good signal. Beach "Gale" is 10 mins walking, supermarket Apolonia is on the way. We had a car and made trips to Benagil Beach and the famous cave, Marinha Beach, St. Rafael and Arrifes Beach (all gorgeous beaches). Weather in mid-September was great - sunny every day, about 27C, low humidity ....so fresh breeze - although the temp of the sea was a cold 22.5C. Id' still spend a good 1/2 hour swimming daily. For nightlife, restaurants you have to go the centre of Albufeira, which is about 10-15 mins drive). We had dinner at the hotel's restaurant once - nicely presented, smaller portions for about 7-10 euros of seared tuna and tempura shrimp with chips, but it was enough for us as dinner. I do recommend this hotel.

Great apartments.

Well equipped rooms, very clean, spacious. Location not great, a 15 minute walk to supermarket for basics like water. No daytime snack bar, not set up for family days around the pool which was a huge shame for us. A car is advisable, we missed out on alot because of the distance. Cannot fault the rooms though.

Lovely, quiet resort.

We went on a week beach break with my Mum and 1 year old daughter. The resort suited us for what we needed. It's very quiet. There is a lovely big supermarket a 10-15min walk away. Restaurants all within walking distance. Gale Beach 15-20mins walk away. You could do it without a car but we were pleased to have the car for day trips. The apartment was kitted very basically but adequate. There were no beach towels. Staff very helpful and accommodating.

Glenridge resort close to restaurants and beach

Great resort, perfect for self catering, however, there are good restaurants within walking distance. We had a two bedroom apartment which was large enough for the four of us (2 adults, 2 children), one bathroom & an ensuite shower room. Only negative was there was only one toilet, but a minor gripe!!

Restful and Relaxing

Just back from a great week at the Glenridge - the apartments are very well equipped, exceptionally clean and quite spacious. Staff are attentive and nothing is a bother for them - any requests are actioned within minutes. It's a small complex so was lovely and quiet which is what we were looking for. There is not much to do in the area so if you are after a lot of buzz then this is not the place for you, but if you want a holiday that is restful and relaxing then it's perfect. A 10 minute walk from the beach which is beautiful (there are also lots of little coves along the beach that are nice and private, also waterspouts available at the beach). Supermarkets are 5 mins walk one way or 10 mins walk to a larger one, both are well equipped with all you would need and the quality is very good. A few shops are dotted here and there but it's just the usual touristy stuff in them. There are a number of restaurants within walking distance, all that we tried were fab, we've been to Portugal a few times and we've always found the food and service in restaurants to be of a high quality and very reasonable. The only negative I spotted was that there weren't that many sunbeds available - if all the apartments were occupied it may be hard to get a bed but then the beach had loads so it may not be a major issue! All in all a little hidden treasure of accommodation if you are after peace and quiet to chill.

Lovely apartments/resort for quiet family holiday

Clean, quiet resort with maybe 20 apartments, some privately owned. Had two bedroom, spacious apartment close to the pool and swings, ideal for kids (8 and 12 yrs). All rooms had electric shutters on windows. Cleaned every day (except Sunday) with fresh towels. Pillows a bit small and flat and beds not the most comfortable but ok. Kitchen had big fridge, dish washer and microwave. Pool always clean and not busy at all considering peak time (1st two weeks of August). Snacks and drinks available anytime (Pigtail chips a must!). Had meal in restaurant first night - lovely food, also for kids. Ideal location if you want a quiet family holiday but don't expect any entertainment (only karaoke night Thurs 'til 11pm). This suited us but may be too quiet for some. Small supermarket 10 min walk and larger one ~20 mins towards Gale. Nice restaurants close by - Sao Domingos good kids menu and fab desserts! Go to Praia Da Gale at Gale beach for wonderful sunset and great traditional Portugese food. Gale beach busy but definitely worth visiting. We hired a car for a few days and went to Aquashow water park which was great for the kids. Also went to Albufeira a couple of times (once by taxi) but getting a taxi back to resort at 2pm in the afternoon was a nightmare as you can't flag them down. All in all, a great place to stay for a relaxing holiday but with plenty of things to do nearby if you want a change of scene. Note - there is no golf on the resort! Go to Salgados (5 min drive away).

Good for families

We stayed at Glenridge in 2013 and 2014. The standards of this resort have decreased somewhat in the space of a year. The toilets in the main building were often without toilet paper and the pool didn't seem as cared for as it was in 2013. Saying this, we still very much enjoyed our holiday and as long as the prices don't increase again (as they did considerably in 2014) we would consider returning.

Lovely stay, Will be Back😁

Excellent clean spacious apartments, well kept Hotel Grounds with nice sized adult pool and baby that doesnt get over crowded. If you want a diy holiday with no guides or advice and your happy to go it alone, This is for you. local supermarket 10min walk, then main Alponia supermarket 15-20min walk but worth it sell everything you need some things quite pricey more marks and spencer's cost wise but was happy to have it as the catered for all Families needs as travelling with dairy free, gluten free children. lots of known Brand names too. Lovely Beaches all in 15min walk Galè, Salgados Overall Lovely place, great Location but if you drive I would definitely get a rental car next time, save some money on cabs and convenience. bx Lovely Family Holiday the thing that stopped me giving 5 star was the Beds very uncomfortable springy mattress gave a few of us sore ribs and back next day if they fix that 5 Star all the way. Cant wait to stay again.😁😁

A comfortable stay with very good staff

Staff very helpful and supportive. A faultless service from the main staff and the cleaners were prompt and efficient. The 2 bed apartments have very good accomodation. Bedrooms comfortable. Kitchen modern with good sized fridge, cooker and microwave. All utensils and necessary towels all included. Electric shutters on the windows very secure. Lounge ok with tv..ok for portuguese tv..nothing else...terrace and outside furniture good..Pool a bit cold at first but great fun afterwards..had hours of fun with the kids on floaties in there. Loungers..seems plenty at first...except people (irish unfortunately- not german, french or portuguese who were far more polite) putting the towels out at 7.30 in the morning and only using the loungers for a few hours...this wound us up a bit...the venue is comfortable with free wifi...but it doesnt reach the apartments further away from the bar.. Only snacks and canned drinks available from the bar. The restauraurant wasnt tenanted unfortunately..would have been great for us to get a local breakfast but wasnt to be..we are on holiday of course. Beach was 15 min walk....Enjoyed it..and would recommend this accomodation.

Great for families wanting a quiet getaway

We had a fantastic holiday at Glenridge. The staff were very friendly and professional. The apartment itself was very spacious and clean - the biggest and nicest bathroom we have ever had on a self catering holiday. The pool area is always clean and the large baby pool is really great for toddlers. A great location for us as it is near some nice restaurants and not too far from the beautiful Gale beach. Would recommend for families wanting a nice base for a quiet holiday in the Algarve.
