Great apartments, we stayed in room 403 which had 2 balconies at either side. Great views and very clean . Our hosts Victor & Fernandes were lovely and both very accommodating. Would definitely return if we visit the area again. Great supermarket with food court virtually 1 min walk away .

This block of holiday apartments is just a 15 mins walk from the beach and 20mins from the square in Albuferia old town. The site manager, Victor is a most pleasant and welcoming host and responded to our every need. We found the apartment to be clean, tidy and comfortable. It may not be the most modern but doesn't suffer as a result. The pool is excellent and was properly maintained every morning before the sun came up. What's not to like?

Stayed here for a second time in September. We were last here 5 years ago, late check in very easy and straightforward. We were in apartment 103, big and spacious with everything we needed. Air con in the bedroom was great. Apartment was well managed and cleaned daily with new towels every couple of days. There is a lovely pool that we used twice, plenty of sunbeds and never too busy. Viktor the owner is a gentleman and so helpful. These apartments are also in a great location. They are between the old and new town. There is also a shopping centre nearby with a large grocery shop. We will definately be back again. Thank you Viktor.

Feels like home. Very large apartments, super friendly team, nothing too much bother. They actually feel like family after visiting so often. Highly recommend these apartments. We love the location and the quiet pool. We like to take the tourist land trains to Albufeira Marina, buses are also good. We use Bolt car service which is fab. Continente and Pingo doce are 5 mins away and there’s an Aldi opposite a Lidl a little further on. Our most recent visit showed some more improvement in faster WiFi and new entry system which is much appreciated. The only problem here is trying to find availability and for good reason.

I booked this after seeing the good reviews it had. And it all went downhill from that. We arrived late, very hard to find because it isn’t on the maps. When we got in there was no one to greet us, the place was in pure darkness. Got our keys and let ourselves in, the bedsheets were filthy! The tv didn’t work, the mattress was like a brick. The bathroom door handle was broke. There was a dirty towel left in the bath, cracks in the sink, toilet was leaking water. The shower was a shower head of Amazon and was covered in mouled. There’s no bar or cafe or bar snacks anywere lol just a pool with about 10 sunbeds and I didn’t see the pool being cleaned once our entire stay, not to mention towels arnt changed unless you stay for more than 7 days and there changed 4 days in?!! No thank you will not be returning and to anyone that doesn’t want to feel like they need a bleach bath after their holiday avoid at all costs.

The location and facilities are good nothing to complain about but the manager vitor and his assosiate are two of the most unwelcoming,unhelpful, stuck up, ignorant fools ive ever come across. Upon arival we werent greeted instead we were lectured about behavior and asked for a 400€ deposit, to which we were giving back at the end. But they were not happy to give us back this deposit and it was like we were walking on eggshells the whole time. When checking out we werent spoken 10 words to and when checking the room that we left spotless they were reluctant and shook their heads. No goodbye no thank you for staying was giving and i will not he returning here because of this

Facilities were okay you get what you pay for but manager was a 5 star pr*ck. took a 400 euro deposit off us and was unhappy when he had to give it back. Constant monitoring and no positive words from ‘Vitor’ at all. When we first met up with him he was not welcome at all and just spoke about how we should be “on good behaves”. Not even a “enjoy your stay”

Great place with very big room and great furniture and utensils also very welcoming. I emailed the hotel beforehand asking for the highest floor possible and they organised it for us with the top floor and open balcony. The man at reception was very nice and welcoming and showed us all the best activities that are around albufeira. Definitely will be booking here again when I come back to albufeira, very good value for money.

The restaurant offers typical local food. The quality and preparation of is very good. The service is excellent and the quality of the food matches the very fair prices. There are mainly fixed-price menus with a choice of dishes, drinks, desserts, coffee and port wine, can be recommended.

Although have been coming to Olhos for almost 20 years ashamed to say had never visited this place until last year. Amazing value for the €15 tourist menu & lovely serving staff. Went again on this trip as they had just reopened & it was once again a lovely meal for the price with wine. Highly recommend.

Get what you pay for but it was perfect. Clean, tidy and quiet. Never a fight for a sunbed. Apartments are massive. There is plenty of space. Close to everything. Shopping centre right next door. Have been going to albufeira for around 5 years in around covid. Loved this area and the hotel so have rebooked for next year.

7 of us booked up, 5 adults, a 5 year old and a 22 month old. I cannot rate this little holiday complex highly enough. The owner is lovely, really welcoming and gave us loads of recommendations of what to do and where to eat. The apartments are huge and spotless although basic in terms of cooking equipment so don’t plan on cooking a feast as there’s just a 2 ring hob. It was cleaned daily for 2 cheerful cleaners. The pool is a great size, lots of loungers provided and inflatables that everyone shared. The location is fab. 2 minute walk to a huge supermarket, 15 mins from Lidl & Aldi if you’re on more of a budget. 40 minute walk to the Strip one way and a good beach or the same the other way to the old town and a nicer beach. Great restaurants all around but some are rowdy later on. The Strip is lively after dark but far enough away from the apartments.

On arrival which was late due to a flight and transfer delay, we had to ring the number on the door, which Victor answered and gave instructions how to enter the apartments. We used the lift, small but adequate. In entering the apartment the smell of fish was overpowering, but after opening all the doors the smell soon went. A really big apartment, plenty of room for 3 of us, large bathroom, kitchen, bedroom and lounge, with 2 balconies. The only thing I would say about them, is there is no way of sitting round a table with a chair on each side, as the balconies are long but narrow. I checked in at reception the next morning, Victor knew who I was, what a lovely man he is, appears to really care about his guests and made us feel very welcome. The pool was lovely and warm, and area around the pool was kept clean. Only thing I would suggest is either they could do with different sun bed mattresses so that when you touch them, don't end up with third degree burns, or make sure you have a massive towel to cover it. There is no pool bar which is real loss to this place. The location was about 15/20 mins walk to the fab beach, and about 30 mins walk to old town. There is a fantastic supermarket in Albufeira Terrace at the end of the road, lovely English Breakfast, just at the top of the road. Couple of tips Bring washing up liquid and cloth- as there isn't one. Ask for air con remote- this is only in the bedroom though, and put a mop bucket underneath the outlet pipes as you will end up flooded. Make sure the shower curtain is well inside the bath unless you fancy slipping on your a*** or swimming out of the bathroom. The cleaner does her best, but the bath is just filthy!. There are toilets at the pool, but prepare yourself for doing a rave with your arms to keep the light on, cos as soon as your a*** hits the seat you are plummeted into darkness. All in all a great place, felt really safe and Victor couldn't do enough for us. So if you're reading this Victor thank you so much for your hospitality and kindness and see you next year 🌞
