- Bayside Salgados Golf and Beach Resort

The hotel is located at the heart of the renowned Herdade dos Salgados, in the centre of the Algarve. The hotel is 800 m from the magnificent Salgados and Galé beaches, 200 m from the Salgados Golf Club and 6 km from Albufeira. For nature lovers, the Salgados Natural Reserve is a lifetime experience.
We have stayed here since Tuesday and have had a lovely time. Not the best weather, but no one's fault! It's in a quiet area but a 15 minute walk to a variety of restaurants. The best one's we found were along the sea front. The breakfast has been fresh and a good choice - all presented well and very clean. Served in the bar which is also very bright and hospitable. Our room suited our needs and is very clean. They gave us extra pillows and a safe key when we asked. The hotel is quiet so we've slept well too. The area is quiet and great for walkers. We can't find many negatives apart from the cold pool but no one to blame there!
I would advise anyone thinking of visiting the Bayside Salgados in September to look elsewhere. A group of around 20 who visit every year think they own the place, and a few of them are very rude and obnoxious. One of them actually grabbed me and when my husband intervened he was threatened with a pool cue. All of this happened in front of the head barman, who actually defended the the drunken yobs. The beach is 30 mins walk away, and the nearest shop is at least 15 mins. Taxis are needed every day and night if you wish to visit Albufiera. The apartments are stuck in the middle of nowhere. The only good thing I can say about this place is that the cleaning staff were great.
Beautiful, mature and well-kept grounds, very clean apartments, plenty of breakfast choices, spacious pool, great staff (reception & housekeeping), however, unreliable Wifi despite the manager's intervention. The local beach, with lifeguards and part of a beautiful natural reserve, is only 15 mins walk, clean, with a little bar and toilets and a Thai massage hut. We would stay there again anytime.
Just had two loverly weeks again at Bayside and it was as relaxing as ever, great staff from bar to reception and there is nothing that is to much trouble for them, there is some refurbishment currently under way while they are closed but the rooms completed are great with bigger kitchen and walk in showers cannot wait to see the new supperior rooms next year, we'll done to all
What an absolute gem of a find .. we spent 5 nights here and couldn't fault anything . The staff are all lovely and so helpful, the grounds and rooms are very well maintained and kept so clean. 10 minute walk to the beach and a short cab ride to the old town and marina . The whole place had such a relaxed and peaceful vibe . Can't wait to go back again but definitely for longer this time. Great value for money too. For a couples I'd definitely recommend going. All the other guest we met too were so welcoming, and have returned many times.
