Talking to a couple earlier last week, they were having a nightmare . They said the hotel was full of stag parties, men and women causing noise at night early morning.I noticed myself on passing most days evenings, large groups of them outside were the fountains are. The couple also commented on the food which they said was bad.

If true Bob that's a shame. Since MGM took over the prices have gone up ridiculously and standards have fallen. Really liked staying there in the past but hey there's plenty of other places.

That's interesting , have stayed there a number of times and loved it - never saw hens & stags, that would put me off so I must check out latest reviews if thinking of returning- thanks

Regarding stags and hens - it depends on when you come, high season and later in the year you don't get so many. The food on most AI isn't good. You get what you pay for, it's not £100 a day like it is in the Caribbean...

Forte do vale is a five star hotel now and was lovely when I stayed tthere all of the 4 times , we went self catering cos we like eating out , its coming up at £783 al for a week in October so I would have thought if people pay that in low season - much more in high - they expect good food,

I get the AI would be an attraction for stags/hens and don't begrudge them having a good time, been on a few myself. Like Patti I have only stayed there prior to AI and would never consider it anywhere, never mind Albufeira.

I think that's down to demand Patti. Depends on what the difference is between AI and SC, but if they are charging that, then you are right, you should expect better!

We stayed there last June it was ok then. There was a stag party some Asian boys. They were very polite not to noisy and were there from Friday to Monday. But I got the impression then there would be more of them in the future and it seems to be that way now. We regularly stayed at CPO and Oura Praia long and short stay. Then we tried Forte do Vale and liked there to, stayed a few times. It seems MGM like to cater for the younger generation. which is understandable profit wise but the older folk seem to be forgotten. I liked staying at CPO but as you say prices have risen and I don't really want a hot tub on my veranda.
