Just got back today from a holiday at the Auramar hotel. The good point is the hotel’s location being right on the seafront in Albufeira. The hotel made up of 4 blocks & reading various reviews on this hotel & on doing my homework I discovered that half the hotel has been refurbished so I sent the hotel an email asking for a refurbished room & also a high floor to take advantage of the sea view, which we were given. There were some rooms that had no view at all. …

We stayed at the Alisios Hotel on a ‘bed & breakfast’ basis. The choice & quality of food was quite good though mainly geared towards the Germans. We found out much later that you could ask for bacon & eggs instead of the usual continental style if you preferred. …

We were a little disappointed by the Grande Real hotel in Albufeira - it clearly only gains it’s five star rating due to the facilities it offers such as the spa etc. Whilst the public areas are extremely nice & well kept, the room we had was rather tired looking with the carpet well worn & stained & the furniture was marked in places. Other rooms we saw looked to be similar. …

We arrived at 9.40pm to find reception at the Maralvor apartments was closed. Fortunately I had taken my mobile with me so was able to telephone the number on the reception door. 45 minutes later, a man came from the Dunas hotel with our key. My sister & I had to stand in the street & it was dark all that time. …

Arrived at the Silchoro hotel 9. 30am only to be told our rooms weren’t ready! We waited five hours before they were and as we hadn’t had any sleep for 24hrs this was quite irritating, but then we had got a cheap last minute deal so that compensated I guess. …

Stayed at the Ouratlantico apartments in Albufeira. Perfect loction if you want to be near the “strip” which was only a few minutes walk away to all the bars & restaurants. We had a one bed apartment overlooking the pool which was massive & had 3 balconies, one being a great suntrap! Two lovely pools & a big area with plenty sun longers but we did stay off-season so never had a issue with people getting up at …

We had a superb time at the Terracos Do Vau Aprtments complex. The staff were exceptional. Rui, Paulo, Fernando, Pedro & Carla will make you feel welcome straight away. The complex is spotless & the maids were round most days. We were on the 1st floor & had a room overlooking the farmyard. Look out for the geese, horse & cockerels (who …
