Cute little condo with everything you need. 10 min walk to grocery store 20 min walk to old town. Hosts were fantastic. Replied promptly, checked with us to see how we were doing and gave helpful information to go and do things. Really enjoyed our time.

Spacious apartment in a nice club.
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at this property. The unit provided most of everything we needed for our stay. While we also enjoyed the evening fun of Old Town Albufeira, it was nice to relax around one of the many pools at a Club Albufeira. We also found it quite handy to have a few restaurants on the property for our first and last nights.

Perfect family memories!
Catalina apartment at Clube Albufeira was the perfect place for our family of 4. Close enough to all the activity and fun of the town of Albufeira, but also far enough away, for the rest, quiet and calm of a chill holiday,. The apartment was perfect for us with our 2 teenage lads, well equipped, spacious with beautiful views and easy access to the lovely on site pools and restaurants. We could easily travel short distances to nearby smaller, stunning beaches, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Excellent communication and help from the hosts gave peace of mind, and helped us make the best of our stay. Would highly recommend!

Terrible Unfortunately
I am going to start this review by stating that I am a professional 52 year old who has a stellar rating across all holiday rental platforms that I have used for innumerable years. I travel frequently and have NEVER had any difficulties with any hosts…until I dealt with these hosts My family travelled to Portugal for a highly anticipated and very significant family reunion-we were so excited. We stayed at Catherine and David’s property for 5 days and enjoyed friendly communication in the lead up to and during our stay. The problem were encountered immediately following our check out. We left at the agreed check out time and exchanged some pleasantries with the cleaner. Shortly following our departure, I received a highly offensive and accusatory message from the hosts (who do not appear to live near the property). They claim that we exceeded the agreed/maximum number of guests, left the house in a “filthy” state and that we tampered with their personal belongings deliberately that they choose to keep in a public area of the home. This information was relayed to the hosts via the cleaner. I refute these accusations in the strongest possible terms. Myself and my family are decent, honest, hard-working people who’s only intent was for a lovely holiday and spend time with our precious extended family. The last thing on our minds was to be deceptive, dishonest, destructive or dirty. I am still devastated by it all. These claims are baseless with no tangible evidence.

We are also going to start our response by stating that we are also a professional couple in our early 50s who have owed our apartment for nine years with 63 five star ⭐️ reviews. We have never experienced a guest staying at our apartment like this our personal belongings are in two locked cupboards have been tampered with and then followed by disgusting comments about how they were stored and shouldn’t be there!! As for the state of the apartment our cleaner said it was pretty filthy to be fair stating the amount of rubbish and wine bottles leaking on the kitchen floor & also 5 hours of cleaning. Check in was allowed 3 hours earlier than normal & check out was 10am but the cleaner had to ask you to leave at 10.30am not to mention the aggressive & abusive messages we have been receiving at 2am & 10.30pm not acceptable. Also cleaner counted 1 extra guests on leaving’ with suitcases I rest my case. We trust our cleaner 100% she has no reason or benefit to say such absurd accusations. we will not rent to you again.

Fantastic Apartment in Lovely, Quiet Area
My daughter and I loved our stay in Catalina Apartment for a pre-prom break. The apartment has everything you could need, and more besides. it was lovely and clean when we arrived and was very comfortable. The air con was a great bonus in the heat. The Clube Albufeira resort is very well maintained and is kept very tidy. We ate most nights at the restaurant O Pavilhāo where there was a good selection of meals and the service was great. The complex is situated some way out of Albufeira which suited us perfectly. Hopefully we will be able to return again to see more of the area.

Fabulous 10 days in the perfect location
My husband I arrived at the property on 1st July for a wedding the following day. As our flight was early in the morning we paid a small charge for early check in, this was so easily arranged with the owners. When we arrived we were amazed at the size of the apartment with a large living space, a good sized and well equipped kitchen area and 2 really good sized bedrooms. one with an ensuite and another separate bathroom. The apartment was spotless and had absolutely everything we could have needed. There is air con in both bedrooms as well as the living area which was fantastic. My mum arrived a few days later with our 2 kids and they absolutely loved it. There was so much space in the apartment for all of us, one of the best we have ever stayed in. There were sun loungers and plenty of tables and chairs for dining outside, which we did every day for lunch. We found it so easy to have breakfast and lunch at the apartment as the kitchen was so well equipped and so much easier with young kids. There is a lovely grass area at the back of the apartment which the kids loved in the evenings or when not at the pool. So much space at the bck of the apartment for sun bathing if you don't fancy the pool or beach.The location was perfect for the old town where we spent a lot of time, taxis are plentiful. Plenty of pool areas for the kids, my little girl especially never wanted to leave the pool, all very convenient to the apartment. We also ate at the resort a few times, our absolute favourite for dinner was O Pavilhao, the food was absolutely amazing and the staff fantastic. We arranged our transfers through a friend of the owners 'Andrei' and the service was excellent, great communication, prompt and very reasonable so will use again for sure. I would recommend this property to anyone and we will definitely be back. Rosie, Sean and family, N. Ireland July 2019

We stayed here with our with our 3 and 7 year old for a week in June and absolutely loved it. The apartment itself is perfect, a real home from home. It's a little out of town but for those not hiring a car like ourselves there's a free shuttle to and from the old town twice a day which is great as a taxi was 12 euro,though is a nice eady walk for those able to.

Any questions we had were handled with ease and made our holiday plans even easier than it should have been. The location is excellent with 4 swimming pools all very close by . The children loved the choice of pools as it fitted into what our holiday was for. Relaxation and enjoyment. A car was hired to get to certain destinations such as Zoomarine. Albufeira, Guia beach, and vilamoura just to name a few. Anyone contemplating this for a holiday I would not hesitate it going for it as you will have a great time in a wonderful apartment.

#287Catalina/Clube Albufeira was a hit for us!
Super stay in a lovely apt. We had everything we needed in a well equipped and nicely decorated apt, notably the washing machine and the parasols/ inflatable rings etc that past visitors leave for the next (we also left footballs and kids inflatables that others can enjoy). Midweek towel/linen changes was unexpected but very welcome. Comfy kingsize for Mum/Dad. The resort itself was a big hit with kids who got to experience each of the 4 pool areas (then fought over which ones to return to!) O Pavilhao had lovely food, did not get chance to sample Casa Azul.

Ideal apartment in fantastic location
The apartment was ideal for our needs and the put-me-up bed a welcome bonus as we'd expected a sofa bed for the 5th person. Our late arrival caused no issues due to the 24hr reception and Catherine dealt with our lack of diligence on checkout fantastically! Ideally situated between three of the pools on site and with parking 10m away it made for a very relaxing place for our week. The cafe by the pool, - Pergola was good for drinks but a little slow for food - not that it mattered too much. Casa Azul restaurant was fantastic and the food was beautifully presented and went down a treat. The weather was fantastic and very hot but the air-con coped admirably and the wine fridge worked overtime! We explored lots of beaches (it wasn't our first time in the Algarve) with Fisherman's Beach being a bit too busy for us and with so many more rugged / atmospheric beaches so close by car we went for them instead of the concrete backdrop! Thank you for a lovely week Phil & Rebekah & Isaac & Jude & Sam

Beautiful property, in a strategic position
The property is well maintained, very well equipped, and absolutely aligned with the description on the website. For us it was also important to have a space to have meals outdoor, and this was possible in the small garden in front of the house. The property is located in a well maintained and serviced Club. To get to the old city you need bikes or car, as well as for the main beaches. Excellent communication with the owners.

Lovely home, everything we needed
We stayed for a week and we loved it. The decoration is lovely and the house has all the amenities needed, plus everything to allow you to enjoy a relaxing vacations. You can also enjoy all the amenities from the club. Only thing missing is free WiFi. Thanks a lot.

Thank you Andre for your kind review. We are very pleased that you like our apartment we try to make it just like home. Wifi will be free next year our rental prices are a lot cheaper than most that do have free wifi and we also had a 15% off may/ June offer so I suppose its swings & roundabouts. Thank you so much for your booking. Kind regards Catherine & David.
