Ukino Terrace Algarve - Concept Hotel

Absolutely perfect, everything’s has been good. 100% recommend.

For a 3 star hotel,the room ( 813) we experienced, was of a generous size with 2 large balconies, great air conditioning and basically everything needed for a self catering holiday.Room serviced every other day. On our last day we upgraded to all inclusive. Was glad to have tried it but felt it would have been restrictive had we done this for the full week, as so many nice places to visit and eat out if you are prepared to take a short cheap taxi ride. We used bolt, which was very reasonable. Pool decent size, sunbeds scenario no worse than any other holiday, we got to the pool about 9:15 each morning and managed 4 sunbeds together no problem. Location is lovely and quiet for a relaxing holiday, with a few restaurants nearby , beach is very nice within a 10 minute walk. Such a shame a supermarket/small shop not close by for essentials. We took a 5 mins taxi journey into Armacoa de pera a couple times where there is a large Lidl . To sum it up , highly recommend for a reasonably priced, relaxing break.

Having just spent 2 weeks at this hotel , I can say the accommodation was spacious and clean , the food enjoyable , reception and restaurant staff lovely . We stayed fully inclusive enabling us to have drinks at the pool bar until 7pm . There is another bar on site named the Sweet spot if I remember rightly . Unfortunately food is only available to purchase and drinks are only available between 7pm and 11pm . It is a public bar so anyone passing by or locals frequent the pub . The highlight of our stay has to be the entertainment staff Pedro, Carolina and Salvi !! They go absolutely above and beyond to keep you entertained and nothing is too much trouble , with little resources compared to the bigger hotel and outside entertainment provided only 3 nights per week .they will be sure to keep you entertained with their energy, kindness and you may be one of the many who go home with wonderful new dance moves lol and know every trick in the book to cheat at Uno ,on a quiet evening ! We truly would have been bored without them and are a credit to themselves and the hotel . Unfortunately I can’t speak as highly regarding the sweet spot bar manager whose main priority seemed to be how much revenue he could make from passing trade . Being fully inclusive is a draw back as tables are needed for paying customers and our nightmare of trying to reserve a table for a group to celebrate a birthday … eventually was resolved under duress . That aside we had a lovely break away which was welcomed. The supermarket is a 10 min walk away . There is a little lovely beach at the bottom of the hill with a tiny cave to the right , it leads to another beautiful beach . There is a bar on the beach that arranges boat trips and serves delicious food and drinks . There is a land train that leaves every hour at twenty to the hour , that takes you to an amazing beach with bars , restaurants and shops for 4 euro return . Other than that there is nothing in the area so it’s peaceful !
