Nice apartment, very clean, plenty of room, cleaning service was 100%. Bar was small and not populated very much, closed early so missing out on revenue and a "holiday vibe".

Mitigé mais vu le prix (via htls.com) c'est corect

Négatif : Bien que l'établissement soit quasiment vide, nous avons été logés dans un appartement proche de la rue (bruyant), au Rdc (sombre) et sentant le renfermé (pas aéré avant notre arrivée). L'évier était bouché, le robinet pas nettoyé, support savonnettes cassé, volets fermant mal. Le restaurant est fermé mais il est possible de prendre des snacks et des petits déjeuners à proximité de la piscine. Un barman très envahissant & bruyant. Positif : le reste de l'appartement était propre, pas cher (via Hotels.com), situé à proximité d'une petite plage peu fréquentée (mai) et d'un petit restaurant très bon et pas cher du tout et doté d'un personnel très sympa et d'une cuisinière (Helena) très sympa : elle vous refile ses recettes délicieuses. Piscine très agréable (en mai) : peu de monde et des zones "soleil" et "ombre" qui permettent de s'installer là où on veut.

Great value for a last minute stay for a football trip. Waking up and opening the shutters onto a great pool and breakfast area was so refreshing after getting in late the night before. Before we left Jorge opened up the breakfast area early to accommodate us and couldn’t be nicer. There is a SPAR close by and the strip is only a €4 taxi or a 30 min walk.

Have stayed here before and both times have been very happy with service, cleanliness , comfort and staff. Was very disappointed this time due to the pool not being open nor the bar. I understand that it is out of season but the fact I wasn’t told before our visit left me annoyed and with two very disappointed children not being able to have a swim.

Ottimo soggiorno ad Albuferia

buona posizione a 5 minuti a piedi dalla spiaggia, segnalata come una delle più belle del Portogallo (di grande effetto l'escursione tra alta e bassa marea). il monolocale, semplice ma a posto. cucina fornita. TV con alcuni canali stranieri (non l'italiano). Colazione con vasta scelta di salati, anche uovo e pancetta, un po' meno di dolci.

Great 2 week stay

Me and my partner booked a 2 week stay here, and it was a great break. I have to say, first impressions of the room were...No balcony!..but it didn't bother us as we didn't spend much time in the room. The staff from arrival to departure were amazing, Paulo & Bae in particular were very friendly and hard working! The hotel was a 10min walk from a couple of beaches and restaurants. If we came back, we would stay here again
