Ukino Terrace Algarve Concept

Hard one to review. Many pros but a lot of cons. So the pros : The rooms are very spacious, clean and well equipped. A great location for the restaurants, beach and boat trips. Staff are friendly and very helpful. We were a family of four with breakfast included. The buffet breakfast was decent, more than enough selection. Pool area clean and spacious with a pool bar and changing room nearby. Sea view from our room over looking the play area, from the big balcony, was lovely. A great cafe serving very good snacks and drinks. The pastry's are amazing. Now the cons : Rooms can get very noisy depending who's your neighbour. The noise seems to echo constantly. Our bathroom smelled of cigarettes due to the extraction system. The whole layout seems wrong. The biggest issue by far is no bar area at night, no pool table etc. The restaurant is tucked away on the bottom corner. Overall a decent hotel but i've stayed in way better. As a family all inclusive i'd be very cautious. I met a couple on all inc and were not happy at all. This resort is better suited to adventures couples using it a base to explore the Algarve. Not dreadful, but we won't be returning.

Absolutely loved it here! Such a warm home from home vibe. Booked fairly last minute and just wanted somewhere for some R&R, with a pool and close enough to walk to a beach. The beach is great and about a 6 minute walk, walk through the tunnel to the right and you get to the next beach. Apartment was huge, we had a 1 bed (plenty big enough for 4 people) side sea view but actually ended up with the front line apartment facing the sea and with 2 huge balconies! Never wanted to leave that view. Little bakery/cafe at reception is great and convenient. Room was cleaned every other day and fresh towels. Area is quiet so not the place to go if you want lively, but there are restaurants and a mini market in walking distance. You can hire a car from reception which we had planned to do but then didn't get round to it, instead we got a taxi into the town one day which cost 10euros had a wander and did the bengil caves boat trip then caught the land train back, nice and easy. There is an entertainment team around the pool, the kiddy club was mainly for under 6yeats old with arts and crafts, kids looked like they were having fun and then there were activities on the hour like table tennis, darts, volleyball etc, my kids are older and enjoyed joining in those. We thought drinks were expensive for the size at the pool bar and cocktails weren't brilliant that's probably the only down side. We loved the mix of nationalities around the pool, although busy we always managed to get sunbeds. Nice to have a pool where kids can play with inflatables and balls, but equally it was never an issue swimming lengths. We had such a good time that we plan on coming back next year! Hopefully we can get the same apartment number 😜

Great hotel, rooms clean, comfy and very spacious. Quiet and dark at night, nice size, fully equipped kitchen. Close to beaches, short walk/drive to various restaurants. Lovely little Terrace club bar/restaurant on site, nice food, dj vibes. Would defo recommend car hire, lots worth seeing & too far to walk into neighbouring resorts. They do offer a mini tram to take you in, but we never used as had a car. (Also free parking on site) No complaints. Yes you need a key fob to open door to pool .. not really a drama just take it down with you ?! A kids club seem to run around the pool area, probably aimed towards younger children. Happy half term stay for us, would recommend and return.

On arrival the Reception Staff were very Friendly and Helpful our Apartment was spacious and clean the Restaurant well equipped Good Food and Beers and Wine. The Restaurant Staff were very Friendly and Efficient Good Size Pool with Friendly Poolside Bar The Animation Team were a good bunch getting all involved The only Drawback was the Hotel does not have Lifts We were on the 3rd Floor and it was a pull carrying the Cases to the Apartment you are best going All Inclusive as there are not many Bars and Restaurants Nearby.

On arrival it was easy to check in staff were friendly , we were in room 512 so ground floor We found our block our apartment was very large and clean but very dark and dreary It had 4 terraces with patios doors but was very cold and dark Only one plug socket in bedroom Only one plug socket that was safe to use in kitchen for 3 appliances Hob that tripped electrics everytime you used it , the apartments are very basic but serviceable but the main problem was noise , loud music every evening , doors slamming , shutters going up and down the building allows you to hear every noise The pool is lovely but again not that peaceful We booked self catering as we like it relaxing and quiet These apartments cater for all boards so lively entertainment round the pool ! Resorts is very quiet so not much around and only a few restaurants and the beach is lovely but sunbeds 20 euros for 2 beds seems a bit steep Lots of places only except cash Glad we had a hire car for the week or would have got bored !

Stayed for a week with my 2 daughters and my mum. Stayed in a 2 bed apartment,the apartment is basic but clean and very spacious.2 bathrooms and a massive balcony.the beds were very comfortable. Pool area was nice could always get a sun bed,nice little pool bar too. We were self catering,found some lovely places to eat within walking distance.if walking isn't for you,taxis are so cheap I used the bolt app.taxi to albufeira was only 10 euros each way. Lovely beaches only 5 min walk away. Supermarket 10 min walk. Only down side was we were on the 3rd floor and my mum having to use a stick was a bit of a struggle with her but managed it. Overall a nice stay,would definitely return.
