I have stayed at Clube Humbria twice now, 4 years ago and just returned from my second trip,
It is a fantastic holiday hotel, clean, fantastic room service, friendly helpful staff, brilliant pools, lovely gardens,play park and football pitch for the kids, I have a 10 and 6 year old and they loved it. The restaurant food was great, lots of choice, I'm vegetarian and I wasn't stuck for something to eat like in a lot of places, desserts are fantastic! I've read some of these bad or harsh reviews which I find bemusing, I'm quite fussy and I love it here hence having been twice, location is great not to close to Albuferia (not my cup of tea) but the old town is worth a trip, 7 euros by taxi from Olhas de Agua, I'd recommend The Slide and Splash Trip, great day out and Zoomarine which has a fantastic Dolphin show, the town here is lovely with some great restaurants bars and nice beach, a ten minute walk away is Falesia Beach which is amazing, views to die for. I'd happily recommend Clube Humbria to any one, Couples/singles/families/retired you shouldn't be disappointed. I will be returning soon.

1st impressions always count, this was a poor start.
This 'Block' certainly does not have any 'WoW' factor.
Please don't think I am a typically fussy Brit, my family and I have been on many All Inclusive holidays over the years and I believe you make the best of what you get, I must say I have never been disappointed until we arrived here.
This 'Hotel' was built in 2005 which should make it a modern development should'nt it?
From the entrance doors to the pool area it is very badly designed and I can only imagine the builders and designers did this to upset their paymasters. Now a few goods and bads:
1-Reception dreary with uninterested staff
2-Rooms very large and clean, excellent aircon
3-Main pool very good, kids pool absolutely tiny
4-Pool area edged by stupid hedging, reducing space and blocking views, all grassed area beyond. This would be amazing if they lost the hedges.
5-Pool bar nowhere near the pool, tables only cleaned 1st thing, you can imagine the state of them later in the day. This is also one of only 3 small outside seating areas at night and there is no lighting, please be careful.
6-Main bar no bigger than a good sized telephone kiosk, woefully small and understaffed.
7-Entertainment, none existent, don't expect anything and you won't be disappointed.
8-Restaurant very well managed and excellent food if a little short on choice, really no complaints here.
9- All inclusive option is below standard, plastic/polystyrene cups outside is absolutely correct for obvious reasons, but don't expect to get a cup or glass inside either.
10- Queueing, get used to it, this is a must here.
Summing up, the beach/local bars/shops etc. are fine, especially Pickwicks.
It is a budget hotel certainly no 4 star, 3 at best.
It is ok but badly designed and they really do not know 'how to do it'.
Avoid Albufeira, what a dump! even the Taxi driver wanted to take us straight to the Old Town (which is perfect). Approx 9 Euros to the Old Town in excellent taxis/drivers.
Weather is excellent, very hot.
There are always a lot of suited Managers wandering around doing nothing of an evening, only trying to look intimidating to the overworked staff. perhaps if they stopped paying these they could invest more in the hotel!
Make up your own mind, but don't get too excited.

Stayed in the clube Humbria half term week with anther family. We had a great time. We were pleasantly suprised how large the apartments were, they were cleaned every day. The pool area was spot on for our chidren aged 3, 6, 12 and 14. The snacks around the pool were basic but adequate. We found the food in the restaurant excellent for the price we had paid( we have had alot worse and paid more!)The packed lunches which could be pre-ordered were ideal for the children during the day also if they did not want to use the restaurant.We would have liked better entertainment at night rather than the animation team, poor for the older children, ideal for the younger with the disco. Visit the old town at night it is lovely to people watch from the square. The near by beach is also great but the sea is very cold!

I went here a few years ago (3 years) and it was my second abroad holiday, from the flight there to the flight home I couldnt of had a better holiday if I tried!
It was amazing and everything about it was amazing!
The room was clean and tidy, and the room maids came round everyday to clean it.
The food was out of this world! (we went all inclusive), when the food hall was shut then the pool bar was open (where u could get more food) so there was food on tap and drinks on tap.
The entertainment was amazing, altho alot of it was for kids, we never ventured off the complex because it had everything!

Not a four star hotel by any standard.Not as clean as was once thought.To few staff not one smile from any of them plenty of men in suits walking about doing nothing.rooms basic,reminded us of a caravan on the east coast.We went for xmas and new year all inclusive,food were cheap cuts of meat chips veg with choice of 1 fish dish,mostly cold.soup for starters and salad with cake,angel delight for desert.Breakfast bread,cheese meats,eggs,bacon,e.t.c.Better seen on M6 services,drinks served in plastic cups[very poor].Entertainment non existant,best bit were the kids pulling down the stage curtain! Signs of festive woe 1 tatty xmas tree,few decorations,1 nativity scene!Gala night on Christmas night,and New years they had the nerve to charge 80 euros for dinner per person,each meal for non residents 20 euros.Plenty of nice eating places close by.Dont go there,Rui Palace Hotel across the road was the same price for b&b+evening meal.we all arrived back in the U.K with illness,vomiting,trots you name it.The sooner the Portugese get there act together on grading hotels the better,i would class this hotel no better than 1 maybe 2 star at best.Good luck if you book this hotel.

just returned from a one week holiday at the club humbria, we were a bit concerned after reading some negative reviews but we were not dissapointed at all.
the reception staff were lovely, the rooms are huge spotlessly clean with nice toiletries in the large bathroom.
the garden area is very well kept and is lovely for sun bathing. downsides... some people werereserving sunbeds 24 hours a day!! the had their towels almost tied on and YES they were ENGLISH!!
there was no adult entertainment at all and the resort is very quiet with not a lot to do.
the restaurant was great, very well managed with realy nice food, if only there was a bit of adult entertainmant this hotel would be fantastic but until that is changed we wont return, wich is a great shame.
