Loved our long-term stay in our 2 bedroom apartment. Everything was smooth for us, including the functionality of the kitchen, wifi, and lots of great balconies. Our request to repair a patio door was done very quickly. The mattresses are a bit worn down and should probably be changed. The location is fantastic, with lots of walkable options in all directions. Be aware that the apartments are in different buildings and are very different to each other (ex: some are newly renovated, some don't have balconies, etc.).

This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. Upon arrival, they tried to charge us a €300 per person deposit, and the fee seemed to change randomly depending on their mood. The rooms were not cleaned daily, and we didn’t even receive fresh towels. Outside the hotel, the grounds were a mess—there were smashed glass bottles and rubbish everywhere. To top it off, there were no sun loungers by the pool, making it impossible to relax.
When we checked out, they charged us €150 per person for a small bit of makeup on the towels, claiming it was “damaged property.” The reception staff were incredibly rude and unhelpful.
I definitely wouldn’t recommend staying here. There are plenty of other lovely hotels nearby with much friendlier staff and better facilities. Don’t waste your money here!

Very nice hotel. The king bed was super comfortable. We had a room with a view of the ocean. There were robes and slippers for our use. The breakfast was super! So many choices and fresh! We also had dinner there a couple of times. Everything was perfect: food and service! Excellent staff at the front desk, they were willing to help with anything. There is a beach restaurant a few minutes and a few steps away.

Really don't understand these negative reviews!!! We visited as a family of 4 with my husbands parents and had a wonderful time! The apartments are so modern and clean, perfect location, friendly and helpful staff and very very spacious! We had a 3 bed apartment, it has two balconies, an ensuite, a main bathroom, lounge and kitchen. Such great value! Would definitely recommend! Only £30 deposit for families, I think the visitors who have been charged huge deposits and hen and stag dos that the hotel is trying to deter from coming to stay!

Stayed for 6 days in September. Was within the realms of expectations if not arguably a little expensive for what it is. What I believe is the hotel nearby runs/owns quite a large number of these similar apartments blocks around the nearby street. Apartments all look pleasant from outside and are all well maintained. Comparing ours to others I suspect some have been modernised but ours hadn't. It was probably done in the 90s but everything was clean and worked. Ac strong, bed comfortable. Area notwithstanding the odd stag or hen group is quiet but rooms don't have alot of sound insulation between them so if you have noisey neighbours or want a lie in past 9am when the cleaners start you may want to consider. Having said that I'm a light sleeper and with the aid of some ear plugs I had undisturbed sleep throughout. Key benefit of these apartments is proximity to a nice part of the beach. We used the quieter of 2 pools a couple of times which was fine (pool with bar was cramped and full of idiots) Would i stay again? Yes if price was right and I happened to need to come back to albufeira (which I doubt).
