Iberostar Selection Albufera Park

Excellent week as a family of four. There is plenty for the children to do and loads of pools for guests to spread across. The children's pool can feel busy but you can choose alternatives. Food was brilliant with huge choice. Would happily go back or try one of their other hotels. We stayed in a premium family room which was spacious.

All hotel staff so lovely and made such an effort (Antonio). Perfect facilities and food, couldn’t recommend enough.

We visited this hotel in May 2026, and it was our first holiday as a family of three, as we were travelling with our 9-month-old baby. Everything about this hotel couldn’t have been better in making the holiday one to remember for all the right reasons. The hotel is fantastic — it is clean and has great food options. The buffet offers a great variety, with a different theme each evening. The tapas restaurant was lovely, as was the Mexican restaurant. The location is also very good; there is a supermarket directly across the road should you need anything. It is close to plenty of places to visit without having to travel for hours. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. Nothing was ever an issue, and the bellboys were very helpful with all the luggage. The maids were also particularly friendly and left a few lovely touches in the room. The rooms themselves are excellent and finished to a high standard. The on-site ice cream shop was particularly popular with my wife! You receive a towel card when checking in and can exchange it for a clean towel whenever needed, so there is no need to worry if you forget to pack a beach towel. The rooftop areas at the hotel are very impressive and provide a great spot to relax where it is quieter, and there is also a pool there. There are a number of self-service areas around the hotel where you can help yourself to soft drinks, tea, coffee, or even a beer during the day. The main bar is excellent — very spacious — and also showed live sport during the day and in the evenings if you enjoy that. The only downside was that the weather was not great during the week we visited, so we did not get a chance to use the pool with the baby. However, the facilities for children looked fantastic, and all the kids using the pools on site looked like they were thoroughly enjoying every minute of it. The direct access to the beach from the hotel was fantastic and provided an idyllic photo opportunity, especially on the deck. The entertainment and evening activities for children were second to none. While we were there, the hotel had an open-air cinema in the evenings, complete with popcorn and headphones that allowed you to listen to the movie in whichever language you spoke, which I thought was a particularly thoughtful touch. This hotel proved to be one that not only met our expectations but exceeded them significantly. We have already started looking at revisiting next year when our son will be older and able to appreciate everything the hotel has to offer, and we cannot wait. To the hotel and all the staff: thank you for an amazing first holiday as a family — see you again soon!

My kids and I had a great stay at this resort! As overwhelming and overstimulating as it could be to be around so many children, I definitely would still recommend it to anyone wanting to travel with young children. There was always something to do so we hopped around from beach, to pool, slides, rooftop pool, indoor pool, etc! All the staff at the hotel were incredible, especially those at the kids club. I traveled as a solo mom with two kids ages 5 and 3 and even had time to enjoy a few drinks by the pool while my kids ate their chips from the pool bar! My kids especially loved the night entertainment at Star Camp. The one downside I would say was that we only stayed 3 nights and weren’t able to get a reservation to dinner at the a la carte restaurants. I was really looking forward to Greek food since we don’t have any where we live! However, the buffet did a good job switching things up every day while maintaining the essentials for children. I would highly recommend booking restaurants EARLY - like before arriving. Beach - one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever gone to! You can walk miles in shallow water which makes it super safe for kids. The beach loungers aren’t the hotels and I also wish we knew that upon arrival to plan accordingly and not get yelled at by some random guy on the beach! Parking - upon returning my rental car they noticed that there were signs of an attempted robbery since there were marks right above both front seat windows. Fortunately, they didn’t take anything as I hadn’t left anything except carseats in the car. Just an unfortunate end to my vacation but luckily insurance should cover the €400 repair bill! Hotel may want to look into adding extra security measures or monitoring by the parking lot. Rooms - we had a room in Block 1 on the main level (1126) and it was so great to be able to walk out from the garden onto the playground/mini pool area. My kids slept in the trundle bed/bunk bed combo and I loved having my own space!

We just got back from Iberostar Albufera Park. Beautifull hotel, very clean and a lot of amenities. The biggest asset is the staff. At check-in we were greeted by Paula and we knew we were off to a great start, we felt very welcome and taken care of. Everywhere we went we were greeted with a smile, and help was offered continuously. Empty glass? Within 5 minutes someone will offer you a new drink (at the Bar or restaurant). Entertainment Activities were non-stop en there was something for everyone. The evening entertainment was of unexpectedly good quality and very divers. Food The buffet was good, however we would have loved a little more variety. The breakfast was almost exactly the same every day only on 1 day we had tropical fruit. Otherwise it was melon, papaya, grapes, orange and/or grapefruit en banana’s and apples. Lunch and dinner had a lot of repetition as well. On the grill we had the same beef, chicken and pork every night. One table was “on theme” and offered something different every night, and sometimes some of the other dishes had a flavour complementing this theme. The Quality of the food was good, but after a week we got a little less enthusiastic at lunch/dinnertime. We ate at the Greek and at the Mexican a-la-carte restaurant and those were absolutely great. Food was very good and staff very accommodating and friendly. Absolutely recommended to make reservations during your stay. We tried Tamarindos once, this is the grill lunch restaurant. But it was not for us. We tried the “steak”. Got 2 pieces but one was so though we could not even cut it. And the other one was raw (not rare but really raw). The chicken had no flavour and was very dry. We left the restaurant and went to the buffet. The hotel is remote so you will need to walk quite a bit or use car, taxi, bus etc. if you want to go anywhere. The access to the beach is a very big pro, the beach is clean and the sea is very shallow for a long time so perfect if you are traveling with kids. The pools are big and very clean. However to get a spot to lay at the pool was not always an option. People lay down their towel early in the morning, and will show up hours later. We were a bit disappointed at this. This made the hotel feel a bit more “budget” than we hoped. In previous hotels we stayed in there were policies in place to prevent this. We went to the rooftop bar instead, perfect views and very quiet. Can become quite windy offcourse. Overall we had a very nice holiday. And we would absolutely reconsider revisiting this or another Iberostar Hotel next year.
