“would go back tomorrow!”
there were no reviews on expedia for this hotel when we booked, but we had seen good reviews on other sites. we were pleasantly surprised, especially considering the price we paid, to find that our room was larger than expected. it was all lovely and clean both in the room and around the hotel - the pool area was immacculate, you just have to wait for the man to finish cleaning it every morning but he does a good job. it is some way from the centre of albufeira, in a quiet residential area. to me this was a bonus - i could spend the evening in the noise of the town but have somewhere quiet to sleep (apart from when the bin lorries come round!). it says in the description that there is a free shuttle: it's not actually free it costs 1 euro per person return to the town. we used this once, then walked the rest of the time as it's a pleasant walk through a newly built area of villas. the food in the snack bar is possibly the only let down - it's not cheap if you're going to eat there all the time - we just used it to get something when we first arrived and either ate in the town or bought food back from the supermarket. overall i was impressed. it may be out of the town centre but being small and friendly gives it a nice atmosphere
“MAY 2010”
Hotel/apartments was quite clean which was the most important thing for me. No many facilities there and around there though and not really in the heart of the centre. However if you are looking for a quite nice cheap place this will be the one. You always get what you pay for.
“nice quiet holiday”
the only things that let this apartment down were that the beds were soooo hard, we were glad to get home just for a comfortable bed, the shower head had no bracket so you had to hold the shower head in one hand leaving one hand to shower with, not always easy and the shower cubicle was small, big problem for larger people!!! the only other fault was that there was supposed to be a courtesy bus to town but this hasn't started running yet so had to pay bus fare every day, although that was cheap enough anyway.
“Value to money”
Hotel offers good value for money, location is ok but could be a bit closer to the strip and old town. Staff are friendly and helpful but charge 2 euros to phone a taxi for you. Snack bar is also expensive. Apartment was clean but basic.
