Jardim probably was a nice complex, 20 years ago - but alas not much has happened by way of maintenance since.
We were three couples staying for a couple of days on a tour of Portugal. Our three rooms were all large and enjoyed nice views of Albufeira. So far so good. One of the couples had to change rooms as their first room was infested with cockroaches, that was swiftly dealt with by the hotel. in fact so swiftly that they placed new guests in the room just a few hours later.
In two out of three rooms, the bathroom doors couldn't be closed. Not as in couldn't be locked, but so bad that it wasn't even possible to close the door at all.
The hotel also charges extra for normal stuff like the in room safe, rental of the tennis courts (which included two rather worn rackets and a hard-court which wasn't all that flat) - but also for more minor stuff like the remote for the tiny TV-sets (including a deposit which could more or less buy you a universal remote).
Our neighbors across a little courtyard were dutch teenagers set on partying, including nice gestures such as smashing up all the bottles they had finished at five in the morning by launching them from the third floor balcony. This of course accompanied by a car alarm that kept going through the night...
Back to the amenities, the rooms comes equipped with a little kitchen (fridge+stove) and some basic equipment and utensils. Interestingly the power for the rest of the apartment/room shuts down when you turn on the oven. So you can't cook and watch TV at the same time.
The restaurant and pool area is decent. The food is decent for the average Albufeira tourist restaurant and the staff was kind enough. The hotel staff probably wouldn't have suffered from smiling slightly more, but they were nice enough on the border of curt.
The complex also has a bar/lounge on site, which we only sampled once. It's a nice Moroccan-themed lounge with a nice bar.
Jardim is nicely situated a 10-minute walk from downtown Albufeira and the beaches. Unfortunately it's all uphill coming back from the town, but it's not far and there are plenty of cheap taxis to be had.
All in all, if you are looking for a romantic get away, look somewhere else. If looking for a place to stay when spending time in and around Albufeira, it's probably a bargain. Just don't expect anything extra.
