We stayed at 7 places during our Portugal trip - this was the least pleasant. Internet did not work, the apartment was not clean; nightmare parking. This area is very crowded - seems like an area for groups of young people looking to party. The hotel staff did there best though and we generally helpful for what they could control.

Was really worried about staying here as there was lots of bad reviews. Check in no problem. €30 deposit for keys. Accommodation was big. Aircon didn’t work. 2 balcony’s overlooking the pool. Cleaners every day, although they didn’t really clean the floor or kitchen sides. Just be careful there are different pools and if you go as a group you can’t access them all, although we didn’t have a problem.

Had a washing machine and dishwasher, which wasn't advertised. Little bit run down - a little investment could restore easily. Pillows terrible. Didn't like how the front desk wrote down my credit card number AND security code as part of process. Overall was OK.

The apartment that we rented through Expedia had no oven (stove top only), no dishwasher, or no washing machine. We upgraded on site to a unit that had those missing features for extra $20 euros/day.

Terrible Experience
I already called Hotels.com and complained about lisy of Items. There was no toilet paper holder in the bathroom.There was no towel in the bathroom either. The body wash holder was broken. it didn't work. TV service was down. Technician came 3 times and fixed 2 hours later. Pile of dust on the floor in the living room. More to tell you. i called and brought hotel staff 4 time to clean the place. wasnt cleaned after 2 days of our stay. i also had terrible checking experiences with this place. Over all, i would not go back and do not recthis place.

Good location
I stayed to this property for 11 nights. The check in was ok , we had to wait for a while as no one was there. We were given a big apartment instead of the studio we rent. Amazing upgrade! However, they haven’t told us that! I had to go and ask if they will charge me more for the apartment. The receptionist wasn’t friendly even then so I assume the upgrade was a mistake or a hotel.com bonus? The property has a great location. Close to the beach and sea view from the balcony. Close to a range of shops and restaurants too. Albufeira strip is about 10 minutes walk away. The apartment is a bit run down and not very clean. There is dishwasher and washing machine however no detergents at all! The kitchen is fully equipped. I would return here just for the great location.

Good room location and pool
This was a stay booked last minute with a friend. We stayed in a twin room apartment which was more than enough for us. This had bedroom and a separate kitchen area with dining room table, sofa bed and tv. Kitchen is well equipped with coffee machine microwave fridge and hob. The reception is large enough and check in easy enough with online check in at the reception. The pool is large enough to offer sun bed and maintain distance from others with a bar there also offering drinks and bar snacks. The property is well positioned with a quick walk to the beach the easy way to this is via steps these are fairly steep and a longer route can be used. There are a good selection of restaurants and a supermarket directly opposite and a 10 minute walk to the main strip. Cleaning was infrequent on check in was asked how frequent we wanted cleaning of the room and opted every other day however this did not happen with us having to visit reception to ask for the clean after using the shower it being blocked and overflowing which did take a day to sort as maintenance man did not work late.

Great apartment in great location. However missing a few of the basic items ie. Detergent and towel for washing dishes, and no tea or coffee provided. Also wifi very intermittent and unreliable. But quality of room, balcony, swimming pool and proximity to the beach were excellent.

Really good value, got upgraded without even asking! Staff were really helpful, my only negative is the lack of a do-not-disturb as that apartment was serviced 5 days a week- which is great but unnecessary for me personally.

We asked for 2 apartments close to each other and were given property’s a big distance apart . They did change them though when we pushed it . We ended up with 2 flier properties 4 doors apart which backed into the pool bar area . Perfect for us . Near to the strip and a lovely beach .

Very hit and miss
We stayed in an apartment. My main problem is that you don't know at the time of booking that there is quite a big difference between the standard apartment and a superior one. We had a 2 bedroom standard apartment. It was very spacious but the decor was very dated and the kitchen was falling apart. Our friends were given a free upgrade to a superior apartment so we realised the standard of ours was much lower. They did move us to a superior half way through our stay for a €25 cleaning charge which was much nicer. However, we had a number of requests which fell on deaf ears eg. AC unit in second bedroom never worked and was never fixed in an 11 say stay in this apartment - I asked about it 5 days in a row. No hangers in our wardrobes - I asked for some 3 days in a row and gave up and bought some. I also asked 5 days in a row for an iron and eventually got one the day before we left. Our friends had similar but worse problems as their electricity went at least 8 times over the two weeks. They asked for a hairdryer 5 days in a row and then gave up. The maintenance and housekeeping management staff completely let this property down and should be replaced. I don't think I would be interested in the hassel of staying here again.

Total 4 star failure, avoid!
We were given the wrong room, and that one wasn't even made. When I told staff she left to the reception without saying a word. After waiting half an hour at the car we went to reception and were told no other rooms were available. Obviously a lie as after another half an hour close to midnight we were finally given our room.Kitchen was extremely smelly. The internet access didn't work and staff promised me to fix and call back. Never happened. Worst check in possible. Then when we finally just wanted to sleep - we find out the bed sheets were dirty. Despite getting in so late to our room staff was not willing to extend our check out time to noon. So far no apologies whatsoever. Only after I told the other staff our whole experience and insisted we were granted another hour. At check-out receptionist finally wrote down the whole report and apologized for the colleague. However we were not offered any kind of competition. All in all: service was a disaster and rooms run down. Worst 4 star experience I've experienced!

Spoilt by drunk loud stag and hen parties
What was clearly once a nice place to stay is now overrun by groups of stag and hen parties -about 6 my second weekend. Full of blokes being drunk loud belching playing music etc and hanging around the pool. If you like that kid of thing then you,ll be fine. If not try a quieter resort now as Albufeira is spread out but caters primarily now to the drinking crowds. Also v hilly and pavements all cobbled and uneven. There are 2 terraces over a step bridge that are grass and were quieter until the groups spilled over to them, offering some respite but a long walk to the loo or pools. Not the fault of the property these groups are booked in and at least they provide a revenue, but this resort is along the lines of Blackpool in the sun.

Perfect accomodation
This complex was recommended by a friend and didn't disappoint. V clean and well maintained, loved the fact that had staff manning the pool area to avoid the usual tourist towels on loungers! Staff very helpful and beach was beautiful (would definitely recommend the chicken piri-piri at the beach bar). Would definitely go back to this accommodation again.

Beautiful Beach!
Excellent quality accommodation, maid service every day which was surprising, we even had a small balcony, perfect for breakfast. Lovely pool, great for families. 10 minute walk to the beach (97 steps down, not suitable for everyone) but wonderful coastline and a much needed cooling breeze, great beach cafe serving excellent food, with a more sophisticated menu for evening meals. Shops and bars only a short walk away and only 15 minutes from the 'Strip' with it's lively nightlife and good selection of restaurants.

Great Stay
The stay was great! The view from the balcony we had was beautiful (of the city), very spacious with a full kitchen and very friendly staff. Be ready to walk a mini marathon to get to the beach, as the path takes a while. However, it is the most beautiful beach I have ever been to before.

Good location
The location was great. The bedrooms were huge but the bathroom and living room were tiny. The bathroom door didn't open all the way because the toilet was behind it and the countertop for the sink jutted out so it was tight to get in and out of the bathroom , very poor layout. The shower curtain was too close so constantly in the way while in the shower. The couch was uncomfortable and not enough room for the four of us to sit. The pool wasn't heated so useless in February. The location by the beach and restaurants was great.
