Sao Rafael - Albufeira

The beach is gorgeous. But at midday, it has no natural shades. Totally recommend taking your own food and beverage to avoid overpaying at the restaurant there

One of the most unpleasant experiences from our holidays... Waited for more than half of hour for our food compare with other customers which came after us, been served, finished their food and we were still waiting... Asked several times what happened with our order, some of staff just up their shoulders... definitely a very lack of language barrier, they couldn't speak English very well as we just assuming because other explanation for their behaviour we can't find... They served other customers with cutlery and sauces, we had to ask for... Finally, our toasties came, the wings not... We had to wait for them to come not that we had to ask when... When they brought them we realised that they weren't cooked properly, but the manager said they are, is only our opinion in regards... Very dissatisfied and disappointed with this experience... We not coming back to this place

Would give less than 1 star if possible. the WORST service, rude and unprofessional staff and so was the manager. we waited over half an hour for our order which was missing the undercooked wings and the only reason we even got our food is because we asked 3 different times. the last waitress we asked literally laughed in our face when my mum said this is unbelievable. people who came after us got served immediately, got attended to, was given sauces and utensils to eat which we had to ask for. when someone came and asked if everything’s okay my mum said no and as she was explaining it he walked away as if she was talking to herself. as you can see in the picture, the wings aren’t cooked properly. they were extremely slimey and still had liquid dripping out of them. although it was inedible the manager still made us pay since “if we wanted them cooked more that was our problem and not theirs”. as the manager was talking to my mum the staff all circled around to listen and were laughing and pointing like it’s a school playground. when my mum said they’ll receive a bad review the manager once again said that that’s our problem and he’ll be the one responding to it so when you see this don’t even bother giving the regular “i’m sorry for your experience and we’ll do our best to fix it next time” because that’s not how this place operates in real life and not once did we receive an apology for this incident. it is also extremely overpriced… 5 euros for a water, 26 euros for a kebab and so on. you need to do better and i so wish we got their names and some more pictures.

Com um lindo sol e ótimas vistas da praia e das pedras, tivemos um peixe maravilhoso. Os preços são altos mas a qualidade é boa. Nós realmente gostamos daqui

Esta foi a nossa praia preferida em todo Portugal! Não muito invadido por águas bonitas, ótimas caminhadas. O restaurante também era muito bom. Sangria e peixe fresco estavam deliciosos!
