Bayside Salgados

The Bayside Salgados Aparthotel is a 3-star set of accommodations located under a mile from the lovely, sandy Salgados and Gale Beach. Just west of Albufeira, these no-frills and friendly apartments have a welcoming atmosphere, an outdoor pool and pool bar, plus a children's playground for the little ones.

All of the 94 apartments are spread across the ground and first floors of a selection of townhouses that are surrounded by green gardens. The ground floor apartments have a terrace and the first-floor apartments have a balcony. Recently renovated in 2013, the standard one bedroom apartments feature a bedroom with 2 single beds, a wardrobe, telephone and safe. In the sitting area, there's a sofa bed (2 people) and a kitchenette (the kitchenette is fully equipped and has a 2-ring hob, microwave, electric kettle and toaster.) Other amenities include free WiFi, a satellite flat-screen TV and air con.

The outdoor pool area has an adjoining pool bar which serves drinks and snacks throughout the day, and there's a children's playground right next to the pool area and bar. This means you can sit back and relax whilst the kids play with their new friends. The restaurant is open every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Entertainment is held at the bar and operates on a weekly schedule with different theme nights and entertainment, including karaoke and bingo.

Set almost right in the middle of the Algarve you are perfectly placed to explore this awesome region of Portugal. Expect dozens and dozens of beaches, street cafes and delicious Portuguese custard tarts. Just a short journey and you're on Salgados Beach, a quintessentially Algarvian beach and the perfect place to soak up rays. The Salgados Nature Reserve is just a 15-minute walk away from this hotel, which gives you an idea of the natural surroundings you'll find yourself in. You can organise day trips with the help of the hotel desk, or take it upon yourself if you've got a hire car. Albufeira, Armacao de Pera and Carvoeiro are nearby.
