Jupiter Albufeira Hotel - Family & Fun - All Inclusive

We have just returned from a 7-day stay at this hotel. There were 2 families: 3 adults and 3 picky eater kids. Firstly, the hotel is spotless. All public areas and rooms are clean, and cleaning is constantly being done. I saw no building work taking place in the 7 days I was there (22nd -29th May 2024) and certainly no rubble, dust, or tools. The buffet restaurant is laid out nicely, is modern, and has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Each night has a theme. The food is hot and plentiful. We always had meals at the start of sittings, so I can't comment if you turn up late. The restaurant table is laid with bottled water, glassware, and metal cutlery. I did not see disposable cutlery of any kind anywhere!! They do have plastic beakers for safety in all outdoor eating or pool areas as a lot of people are barefoot or at the swim-up bar. Both indoor bars have glassware. There are lots of food options, both hot counter mains, a daily special, a chilled section, and loads of desserts at every sitting. Please bear in mind if you get food and then continue to wander the buffett. It's going to be cold by the time you sit down. Just get smaller amounts and go back if you want more. It stays hot then. Staff come to get drinks orders at your tables and clear away empty plates very promptly. We only used the buffet restaurants or pool snack bar for allmeals. The rooftop bar is lovely on the 10th floor with stunning views. There are plenty of sunbeds around both pools. The pools are chilly but fine after 5 mins being in. Drinking water dispensers on each floor The restaurants have self-serve, fizzy drink juices, and hot drink machines Kettle and mugs in rooms and small fridge. We re filled water and chilled for in the room We didn't go to the entertainment as our room overlooked the tent. we sat on the balcony and sang along most nights. Our aircon wasn't great. They did come quickly to set it up, but it really didn't cool our room (246), but we cooled the room down with the aircon off and the door open a bit. There were no mosquitos at all in the evening while we were there. The shuttle bus service provided is a brill bonus we used nearly every day. All in all, this was a really good hotel. 9/10 from us. The lifts lose it a point. As they have a mind of their own !!

The hotel was spotless, there was always something to do for the kids. The variety and quality of the food and drink was amazing. Staff were very helpful too. We will definetly return to this hotel!

From the moment we arrrived at the jupiter we knew it was special. We are parents of a 2 and a half year old boy and 7 month old girl. Our first all inclusive. Couldnt find fault in it. If you want a big fry fro breakfast.. its there. A lovely bowl of fruit- wven strawberries .. its there… Boiled, poached, scrambled, fried eggs… Pancakes to name a few There is a special gluten free section which looked great too. There is a different theme every night. Indian, American, French , portugese to name a few with great variety. The staff are kind and helpful and always cleaning!!!! The cocktails are fabulous! Lovely Mojittos ans the rooftop bar is a must! The family room had great space, cleaned so regularly. Complimentary mini bar with m and ms, crips, cola, superbock and water. Our little boy was sick and vomittted in the bed while we were there, cleaning staff were ao lind and helpful the next day. Nothing was a bother. They are big into sustainability in this hotel. Wooden key cards and resusable cups that is fabulous to see their committment to this. Yes the pool is on the cool side but it doesn’t seem to bother the people in it as its full all day. Real lovely vibe around it . Great entertainment for everyone. Staff again in good form. Night time is varied and fun. Plenty for those who want to enjoy it It was our first holiday as a family or 4 and we will retun. If you dont want to , you dont need to leave this place. Well done all x thank You,

Upon arrival we were greeted with a very rude receptionist, told us the the room wasn’t ready which was absolutely fine stated on the website check in is 3pm, they said they would ring if the room was available before but it wasn’t returned at 3pm told it would be ready in 15mins, returned again at stated time and it wasn’t, didn’t end up getting to the room to close to 4pm, we arrived at 11am and people were checking in all morning so felt unjust, room wasn’t cleaned for the first 3 days no new towels etc, the hotel is very clean but buffet was chaotic, they advertise different themed nights but you wouldn’t know food very repetitive and beige, a week was far too long ended up eating out twice in the week we was there, shuttle bus to beach was a great perk but again absolute chaos trying to get on everyone pushing in to get a seat wouldn’t want to travel in peak season, rooms were quite loud either side of the hotel but didn’t impact us too much, kids entertainment was good for our toddler but not very long in my opinion, I don’t think it is 5* staff looked emotionless and when you ask for a beer it is about a 3rd of a pint, can upgrade to al+ but not worth it in my opinion as cocktails are all premade with a push of a button on a machine, pools were freezing and the lifts system was very poor especially with a pram at peak times, also couldn’t use the restaurants because the hotel couldn’t accommodate the size of our party during our 7night stay (9 adults and 3 toddlers) this was very disappointing, we weee offered a sitting for 3 people at 6:45 and the rest at 7:45 which wasn’t appropriate, we enjoyed our stay but wouldn’t rate it 5* and probably wouldn’t recommend or return.

Fresh well kept hotel. Great variety of food. Something for everyone. About half a mile from the main ***** new town. Not overcrowded at all. No queues anywhere like other all inclusive hotels.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It had everything we needed for a great holiday. Our 3 year old specifically loved all of the dancing with the animation team The pool area was a great size with lots of beds available. All of the hotel was spotless. The location of the hotel was also really good with a mini market and supermarket just outside. The ***** is a short walk away and there are land train stops not too far to take you to the old town. You can use the free shuttle from the hotel however we didn't try this as we wanted a walk first. We would definitely recommend to other families.

Lovely hotel for a family holiday with two older teenage children. Great location for shops and nightlife. Near to Albufeira *****, Old Town and Villamoura. Shuttle bus really useful. Excellent staff. Clean and well decorated. Good sporting and gym facilities. Buffet food good however monotonous with lack of variety. Smoking area a priority for attention.

We had the best holiday at Jupiter, it was cleaned daily, food and drink available all day long, with a variety for everyone! The entertainment during the day and evening was perfect. The staff were available and friendly all day everyday, the shuttle bus to the beach was great, the park, waterslides and pools were lots of fun. We cannot fault the hotel at all, food was delicious with a different theme every night, and a shop on site with most things you would need! Would happily stay here again!

A lovely hotel with everything needed for a great family holiday. The staff are friendly and work extremely hard,they are a credit to this hotel in everyway. I Would of loved another week here. My boys loved it especially the soccer games. They loved the freedom of getting their own drinks,icecream etc.Pools were great, cold but once in it was grand and im sure in the weeks ahead when the real hot weather hits the temperature will be perfect. I thought the food was great especially for my younger son who's so fussy, his diet was way better out here than back home, ate loads of fish, rice ,fruit etc, to be honest I couldn't get over all the food so much of it and always something available to eat every hour of the day. Loved the coffee machine thought the cappuccinos tasted so good and boys loved getting the hot chocolate out of them. Would definitely come back here again, maybe next year.
