Aquamar Albufeira

Would highly recommend. All staff are polite and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. Apartment - Clean, spacious and has everything you need from a self catering apartment. Bed is so comfortable Pool area - again, spotless, water is cold but in July, that is needed. No silly rush at the crack of dawn to reserve a sun bed. Snack bar is great and so are the prices. Would definitely recommend the full breakfast. Location - Surrounded by bars and restaurants with a large supermarket approximately a 5 minute walk. Out the apartment, cross the road and go up the steps and then straight on. There are also mor restaurants in this area. Beach is a left turn out the apartments, approximately a 5 minute walk. Would recommend going into the old town however, a lot cheaper to get an Uber rather than hailing down or ordering a taxi. If you are looking for a relaxing and chilled out break, I would highly recommend. Thank you to Paula and all her team for a memorable week.

We have been to many Apartments in other countries and these were the best. Facilities in the rooms were great and it was like a home from home. Only 24 rooms with a great pool area and super friendly staff who work so hard to keep up the high standards of this property. The location is good too, only a very short stroll from the beach front resort of Olhod d'agua, which is exactly half way between the bigger resorts of Villamoura and Albufeira. The beach is amazing and can walk for miles along the red cliff backed pristine sands. Food is also provided at the Apartments and has a good choice of snacks, meals and drinks. We found that guests soon get to know each other by chatting round the immaculate pool area, which has plenty of sunbeds and never overcrowded. The rooms are cleaned on a daily basis and the staff are super helpful and efficient. We thoroughly endorse Aquamar for a brilliant Algarve holiday. It was right up our street as we don't like the bigger hotels, preferring the freedom of Apartments. We like to go out for meals each day and there were more than enough choices of traditional and other types of popular restaurants within walking distance. The Apartments felt safe and secure. A great place to holiday and a credit to the owners. JET2 holidays never disappoint and everything went so smoothly from start to finish. You would not be disappointed choosing to stay here at Aquamar.

Rooms had everything you could need. We were self catering although actually cook very little. Staff were all very pleasant and helpful. Great location. Ideal for shops beach bars restaurants supermarkets etc . Down sides were rooms (we were overlooking the car park/garden) we a little dingey and could do with brightening up with new furnishings, the patio was small and a bit claustrophobic and the pool bar was never staffed, although you could go up to reception and they would come down. - easier to go back to your own room for drinks etc. These are all minor points and did not in anyway spoil our trip.

We have visited area many times but only stayed at the Aqua Mar as usual was unavailable. Great location, great swimming pools. Room cleaned daily, towels changed daily. Friendly staff. Spotless clean.

A very nice hotel. People very nice and helpful. Cleaned every day. The only problem was the steep slope. Bad for knees !!! Very quiet the time we went. October 16th. The reception staff very nice. Lot of nice restaurants around. The beach wasn't far away and lovely

Had a wonderful two weeks. The apartment was very clean and spacious. The kitchen was just what we needed as we wanted to self-cater. The whole complex which was small, peaceful and quiet. There were plenty of sunbeds and large sun umbrellas. The location was excellent as, although it was downhill to the beach/centre it was not step and easily walkable. It was also a short walk to two supermarkets. Near the largest supermarket there was a lovely coffee shop with superb snacks; a great stopping off point. Resort near enough to visit nearby resorts. Good walking around the resort. Would happily return for another holiday.

The apartment was clean but the balcony was little more than a tunnel which did not let in much light and was not lit on an evening which prevented us from sitting out. The snack bar was unmanned on most days. We only saw service there twice during our 10th a stay. At no point were we informed that the apartments were set up a hill. The transfer bus dropped us off at a car park and the driver pointed the way saying the bus could not make it up the bank. My sister and I are both in our sixties and I had a knee replacement operation in August 2015 which made the walk up to the apartments stressful as we had to drag our cases across the car park and up the bank.
