From start to finish, the staff have been absolutely brilliant. Everyone we came across was friendly, welcoming and genuinely helpful, which made such a difference to our stay.
We did have an issue with our bathroom when we first arrived, but the way it was handled was exceptional. We were listened to, spoken to personally about the issue, and then contacted by email with a resolution. We were also shown an alternative apartment so we could decide whether we would be happier moving rooms — and we were! The team even offered to help us move all of our belongings to the new apartment. We declined the help, but the fact that they offered was such a lovely touch and really showed how much they cared.
The apartment itself was clean, comfortable and a lovely place to stay. The poolside staff were also fantastic and genuinely couldn’t do enough to help.
What really stood out to us was the attitude of the whole team. They made us feel welcomed, valued and looked after throughout our stay.
We honestly can’t wait to come back again! ❤️
Thank you to every member of staff who helped make our stay so enjoyable and unforgettable. You are a credit to the hotel! 🇵🇹☀️
We stayed for seven nights at the end of September. We found the hotel organised and the staff friendly. The rooms were very clean and the hotel common areas were spotless. The staff were friendly and very happy to help. Would recommend this hotel for a relaxing break. The transfer was 45 mins from faro airport.
The Ukino complex is in a quiet area near Armarção da Pêra. There are different restaurants dotted around the area, a mini market close by and a bigger Supermarket a bit further uphill. It's very hilly.
The staff were all friendly and helpful.
We were staying on half board basis and our apartment was well equipped and comfortable, with separate kitchen/living area with sofa bed for a family staying there. Two French windows opened out onto a large balcony. Air conditioning plus fans in the rooms made it a very comfortable temperature.when outdoors it was up to 34° some of the we were there.
Towels are changed every two days and bedding every four. Other than that it's up to the guests to make their own bed - no hardship and wash up after themselves.
The restaurant was a short walk away and there was always plenty to choose from to eat and drink.
We were very happy with the Ukino Terrace but it's only drawback was having to climb up two flights of stairs to our apartment when already hot and tired as there are no lifts.
A pool area with sun loungers is accessed with a fob.
To get to nearby Armarção the best way is by the Comboio Turistico (noddy train) €5 return which runs hourly.
There are a couple of good bars/restaurants near the beach.
We really enjoyed our stay here, we went self-catering and didn't eat at the restaurant so I can't comment on the food, but the apartment was really spacious with a fully stocked kitchen and living area. The rooms were cleaned every 2 days. The pool area was great, plenty of beds to be had during the 2nd and 3rd week of September. The location is unreal, a short walk to the most beautiful beach (quite steep hills though) and all the locals restaurants are lovely. There is a great supermarket nearby with laundry facilities also. Really cheap and easy to travel to other more lively resorts if you wanted to explore. Fantastic value, we'll definitely be back
Very disappointing holiday. We booked all inclusive through easy jet which was expensive for 2 people. I am coeliac which the hotel were made aware of but there was no effort made at all to accommodate my dietary requirements. There were 2 members of restaurant staff who tried their best to help me but there were such poor options for GF that I barely ate making it extremely poor value for money. I had to ask for GF cakes, these were not left out, the GF bread was awful and I just lived on salad, fruit and cake for a week. One day the chef did make me some very nice pasta but most of the time it was just plain rice, same old pizza on request, salad or chips which I had to request separately. I did have a coeliac flare up as I had eaten a dessert that was not GF, the labels were not clear. Basically do not go if you have dietary requirements. As I say this holiday worked out expensive for 2 people in August as all inclusive but you were made to feel inferior with tiny glasses of drinks compared to other “paying” guests. There were no snacks at the pool. The bed was also incredibly uncomfortable. We went to Eden in June and it was amazing and cheaper than Ukino in August but the service there was impeccable. I would not recommend Ukino and would not return
