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 …

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 …

Hotel, room’s, pool area etc were all spotless! room’s lovely, spacious with huge balcony area.
Location is quite remote but easy to get to nearby places with such cheap taxi’s. typicaly 4 euros to the strip, 6 to the old town.
I recomend the old town for restaurants, beaches and beautiful views.
Holel staff were all friendly and willing to help although the kitchen staff could have been more prepared and the food was pretty poor, never hot, very limited choice and very bland, they also ran out of some items quite regulary, although this did start to improve towards the end of our holiday.
We had an excellant holiday, kids club was brilliant as were all the first choice staff!
I would recomend this hotel.

No air con weather was bad which meant we were freezing. We had to put matress against as it was so drafty. bathroom was old and dirty couldnt wash properly as it was cold. Complained and asked to be moved to be told that it wasnt possible. Spoke to Thomas Cook rep, who thankfully got us out of a supposively 4 star complex. I would rate this 2 star minus, didnt even have a phone.

Alvormar is a centralised hotel with town 5mins away,beach 5/10mins away,bus stop taxi rank on the doorstep.The hotel rooms are well equipped,tv,microwave,a 4 ring cooker,toaster,cooking utensils plenty of crockery etc. Staff/housekeeping are excellent. The poolside is cramped but clean,snacks available,as is alcohol. A great area to watch birds do their eveningsong very entertaining. Ive stayed here three times without complaint,hotel has its own beauty salon launderette next door.The primary school is on the same stretch of road,some balconies look onto main road but not an inconvenience.All rooms have air coditioning.
