Loved my stay at the Magnolia. Solo traveller. Great pool area. Really friendly staff. Room a little tired but ideal for what I needed. I didn’t utilise the free bikes but if I were here for longer I would have! Close to restaurants, supermarkets and the beach. Would definitely come back!

8/10 Very good

We enjoyed our stay at The Magnolia in June. The staff truly made our holiday - they were friendly, smiley and were always happy to help, I cannot thank them enough for a comfortable stay. The hotel itself was quaint and we were lucky enough to stay during a quiet period so we never struggled to get a pool lounger. The only areas for improvement are the birds at breakfast (management confirmed they are looking into preventative actions) and room adaptions such as brighter lights and better socket locations. This did not affect our stay however, and again management have confirmed they plan to make changes in response to feedback which is great as it will make this hotel an even better place to stay. The only advisory is that the pool has background upbeat music playing throughout the day - some love this, some don’t, hence why I have mentioned. In terms of price, it is comparable to Ria Park which is a larger hotel with slightly nicer rooms but it can be busier, so it’s really down for the to personal preference as to whether you prefer a smaller hotel. Our bucket list is to try all the hotels in The Algarve but The Magnolia is firmly on the return list.

Hotel was great - you can borrow bikes to get into Quinta shopping in about 3 minutes. Ubers are extremely quick, reliable and cheap to get into other areas such as Vale do Lobo (around 4 euros!). Lovely pool, amazing breakfast with so much to choose from. The only downside would be how loud the aircon was in our room.

Good stay

Magnolia is a nice hotel with pleasant surroundings. The rooms are adequate, beds are comfy; though could use better space planning lfor the rooms. wWe were informed a renovation is coming later this year. The breakfast is quite good and the lounge and bar areas are nice. Best of all the staff are awesome, friendly and willing to assist where possible.
