Barrocal Pet-friendly Holidays

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. Cleaning schedule appears to b

All the staff were lovely and helpful! I got a massage at the spa, and that was incredible!

Quality property with lots of modern facilities in the apartment and contemporary furnishings. Master bedroom was huge and bed was super comfortable. Unfortunately the hot water ran out after 3 showers and there were 5 of us. Another disappointment was that the sauna and steam room were not communal and separated into male and female so my husband and I couldn’t use them together. Friendly reception staff, couldn’t do enough for us. Food at breakfast was quality and plenty of choice. Food in the restaurant for dinner was lovely and we appreciated the unusual menus over Xmas. I would definitely recommend the resort as we had an amazing stay overall.

Lovely staff, booked an apartment as we were travelling with a baby and it was so convenient. Great amenities and fantastic breakfast available if wanted. Very enjoyable relaxing stay

Clean, spacious room with every amenity we needed for our 10-day stay. The food was great as well.

Property was beautiful. Very large rooms. Staff very helpful

Great hotel with clean, modern and spacious room. Love it.

Clean room and pool. The staff went above and beyond. Would highly recommend

It was first time to be in Portugal but the experience was unforgettable moments in life . The food was good and the welcoming experience was amazing. Will be back soon with our children and also the area was very quite which will be ideal for taking a break from England.

Wonderful beach area, clean room, plus food choices.
