Villas Joinal

Decent location, grounds and the pool look great, rooms are extremely outdated, brings you back a few decades. If you are on a budget, it is totally fine, but if you do not spending more, I’d stay somewhere else for a little bit more comfort & nicer atmosphere.

Very good apartment, well equipped, 10 min drive to the nearest beaches, nice pool and friendly manager. Two bedrooms, and two bathrooms, kitchen, living room and patio with BBQ. I highly recommend

Shops & restaurants within walking distance Appliances more than sufficient. Beds & furniture comfortable. Property very secure & private. Pool area clean & plenty of room, with plenty of sunbeds. I would recommend these villas to everyone who wants a quiet & peaceful holiday

Fantastic place for families, lovely little garden to have lunch and barbeques just outside the pool. Very well set out and spacious property, air con, everything you need. In a great spot for exploring Algarve, we loved the local beaches which were all beautiful and less than a 20 min walk from the villas. Friendly service too! Would absolutely stay again which we don't say often 😊

We have just returned from a last minute booking to Villas Joinal. It was our first holiday in a communal area, my son has special needs so we tend to book a villa in a rural area. He can struggle with noise, and uses sign language to communicate. I am very surprised at how well this trip went, its a small complex of 12 Villas. VERY quiet! He used the pool for hours on end and it never got crowded. Plenty of sunbeds. A little play park too. The Villa was fully equipped - (we have to cook foods from home mainly so the oven was a must). Washing machine also useful and used daily! Air Con was brilliant and saved our life (super hot temps this week). We hired a car as we like to get about, but a few families i spoke to said they had just used taxis for ease, you are close to pretty much everything so it was a cheap option for them. Very clean Villas, a little dated but we werent looking for luxury. Communication was good throughout - i asked many questions to fit my sons needs!! Swimming pool says 9am-7pm but reception did email me when i asked, and they said as long as we werent disturbing anybody then there werent restrictions as such. My son had a few early morning quiet swims on the days he needed that movement to start the day! Already planning our return and inviting all the family! Brilliant find! Thank you 💓

Great stay - peaceful and quiet, well equipped and a lovely pool, 15 min wlak to beach, 10 min wlak to spar and easy access via Uber to albufeira town. Nice restaurants nearby and able to bbq.

Good, decent size apartment with great outdoors and good overall amenities. Was not impressed with being asked to check in 2 hours late after a very long /tiring trip from Canada. A/C unit in main bedroom wasn’t working during our 10 days stay and they weren’t able to get it serviced. Kitchen had foul smell. Everything else was acceptable.

It was a very good stay. I would say its more of a family stay as its very quiet and relaxing. Very quick check in and xcellent customer service. Thanks

we hired 6 villas for a long weekend. Perfect facilities for a group to get together but also have your own space. Clean and welcoming.

Just a little problem with dogs barking all night long in the other house is over the fields

Fantastic apartments and Manuel in reception is a gem. We are planning to return next year

Staff were very helpful with late check in/early check out. Villa and grounds all kept to a very high standard.

The villa was lovely and in a really nice area. There are some building works going on at other villas in the area so driving to and from was sometimes a pain but overall no noise and wouldn't know they are there unless you saw them. Villa itself was lovely and had everything you need. Personally believe some of the equipment bathrooms could be updated but it's the basics and covers everything you need for a lovely family time away. Baby gates at bottom and top of the stairs and plenty of room throughout the villa. Pools were perfect and never too busy, little one loved splashing around and playing in the park.

Great stay again, we will definitely be back.

Located away from Albufeira town but close enough to get to by car or taxi. Beach 15 min walk , nearest supermarket 10 min walk, Zoomarine 15 min drive. If using the BBQ remember to buy charcoal and lighter fuel. We didn’t hire a car but used UBER which worked well for us. The appliances all work well including the air con in bedrooms but no air con in the living room. Great sports bar and a pizza restaurant all within a 2 min walk of Villa.

The last three nights of our Portugal trip were at Villas Joinal. To be honest we didn’t know what to expect as the price was so much cheaper than anything else we’d looked at. We needn’t have worried. The villas are clean tidy well maintained and had everything you could possibly need. The decor was lovely throughout although the bathrooms looked a little tired and could maybe do with a facelift. Saying that they were clean with plenty of towels etc. the outside patio was great for lounging, it even had a BBQ and was just steps away from a fantastic pool area. We were surprised by the size of the pool it was huge! Plenty of sun loungers and even a play area for the kids. The surrounding area has plenty of bars and restaurant. The beach at Gale was amazing. You are only minutes away from Albufeira and the port. There is plenty to see and do. The only negatives…..a rather huge dog in a neighbouring property who liked the sound of his own bark and the noise that can be heard from other guests if they decide to play their music at full volume, thankfully it was only on one afternoon and it didn’t go on for too long! All in all a lovely place to stay….

Easy to find and communication good from reception especially for our very late check in. Very clean throughout the villa and the grounds well maintained including a couple of pools and a children’s play area. Everything you need is in the villa including plenty of towels and sun loungers. This is not the place if you want high end luxury but for the price I wouldn’t expect it. I would definitely return and recommend.

Great place. We were sorry to leave. Swimming pool is shared between 12 villas but it was mostly empty. Little bit far away from shops or attractions but taxi to Albufeira is around 8 quid, airport connection was provided by most beautiful women Ive seen in Portugal and its around 50 quid. Id suggest renting car anyways. Great BBQ, clean, tidy. Living room furniture a bit old fashioned but beds are very comfy. My roommate was snoring so loud but I found camp-bed in wardrobe and moved to another room. Villas are very spacious. Kitchen very well equipped. Great option for the money. Contact with host 10/10, nice and friendly.

Awesome stay - easy to sort everything out. Perfect for a big group of friends across multiple villas

The unit used was not as modern as the image on the web site. A little disappointed as the owners should consider updating the bathrooms…. Beds were very hard and uncomfortable ..
