The room was very tiny, too small for 2 people.
Staff on reception could have been friendlier.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (186 reviews)
The room was very clean. The lighting was a bit dim in the room.
The staff were all friendly and helpful, (apart from those in the spa.)
The housekeeping staff in particular were great, very efficient and obliging.
The bar was nice and I enjoyed the special cocktail of the month.
The rooftop pool area is beautiful, though of course it would have been nice if the food and drink bar were not closed for the winter months.
The hotels location is reasonably convenient for the beach and the main A22 motorway that leads from Spain to Faro and beyond.
The TV was hard to use with a really annoying advert for Pr1me Energize every time it was switched on!
The breakfast was a bit disappointing with very little choice if cereal or eggs.
But all in all, I recommend this hotel. Thank you for a lovely stay!

9.4/10 Exceptional! (36 reviews)
A great stay at this very modern apartment complex 👍
Booked a 6 night break over the Xmas period at good price via Expedia.
Flamingos salgados is in a quiet area in between the Albufeira Marina and Amerco de pera (Galé /Gui area) so a car is ideally required unless you want to use Uber or Taxis to get around.
The beach isn't far from the complex but due to the road designs and lack of pathways it's around a 2.5k walk or drive to reach.
This complex was only built in 2024/25 and to a high standard.
We had a 1 bedroom apartment with fully fitted kitchen, microwave, kettle, toaster, 4 ring induction hob, oven, fridge freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, coffee machine x2 (Espresso and filter drip) plus a good selection of plates, cups, glasses and cutlery.
There is a large balcony accessed from living area and bedroom that gets the sun all day from around 11am to sunset.
Reception spoke good English and where very welcoming plus they accommodated our early check in request. They also gave us a small sweet pastry present on Xmas day so this was appreciated.
A couple of things to note.
Underground parking is available at a charge (€5 I think), but free parking is available outside on street.
You will need to bring your own washing up liquid , kitchen towels, Tea cloths, coffee pods to avoid the frustration others have noted on some reviews.
Bathrooms have great rainfall shower but rest of the room is cramped a little with all the fittings.

It was the best room ever! The staff were nice and most of all, they helped me check in right away even though I came earlier than the check‑in time! The room was clean, comfortable, and the bathroom was good! The breakfast was delicious, too! Everything was perfect! The best part was that there was an ocean in front of the hotel, so it was good to take a walk and to ...

Nice one bedroom apartment, close to the beach with a nice restaurant, but restaurant in a hotel was closed for dinner, very inconvenient. Spa and pool only open till 6 pm, just the time to relax. And no robs in the room. Usually hotels with spa provide them. Next time will look for another ...

It was a special anniversary for us, and the staff decorated our room and gave us a bottle of champagne to celebrate! It was such a nice touch and made it feel even more special.
