Great place to stay for the value. Definitely has the 5 star amenities. The restaurant was really good and the pools were really nice. The rooms were very well kept and the views from the top of the apartment were gorgeous. Also a short walk to a very nice beach. Was a great place to spend our final days of vacation in the Algarvae!

The staff were very friendly, and all "customer-facing" staff spoke excellent English. They were engaging with us as we asked dumb questions about the country and local area, and tried to learn a little low-level Portuguese. The pools areas were very good.

Holiday Bliss.

Dunus Dourados is a lovely place to stay.Perfect for families and Couples alike.School holiday time is busy but that is because it’s prefect for children.The staff are very friendly and helpful if sometimes over stretched.We have stayed many time and will continue to do so.It has a small shop so if you are going to self cater you will need to shop at the supermarket.

Fabulous

We came from another 5 star hotel in Albufeira and we immediately loved this one, it is all the other one wasn’t. It is classy, quiet, the apartments are very large and comfy, the kitchen has every single detail and the bathrooms are clean and modern. The toiletries are from Rituals! The garden is very big, has a large barbacue area and a jacuzzi. The hotel is on the beach and has 3 pools (1 indoors) and a nice restaurant. The restaurant is a little expensive but the staff and food are great. We loved it so much we booked another 9 nights immediately.

Fantastic resort!

We had a fantastic stay 3 night stay at Dunas Douradas. We had a family wedding to attend at the venue, which the resort did a fantastic job of, and the staff were so attentive the entire trip, as well as making every effort to help the wedding run as smoothly as possible. The villa was superb- spacious, comfortable, stylish and clean, and was very well equipped. We only wish we had longer at the resort to enjoy the lovely pool area, the villa, and the restaurant! We had an excellent stay at Dunas Douradas!
