Aquamar Albufeira Aparthotel

I had a medical emergency with my daughter and the hotel refused to refund me, despite submitting evidence. Trip customer service were very helpful, so they get 5 stars, but the hotel showed no humanity and just kept £350!! 0 stars!

The staff here are absolutely fantastic, they are all geared towards helping you enjoy your holiday. There were 2 adults and 1 child on this trip. Everyday we were guaranteed a sun lounger (although admittedly we did get up at 9am to place our towels out) and had breakfast at the bar. The average price for breakfast was £15, which included 2 toasties, 2 hot drinks and a fresh orange. They also do a selection of foods for dinner. After eating locally for a few nights (average price €60 for three people) we ventured out to the old town (taxi price - there and back €10 total) lots of eateries available however must give Mr Ribs a mention here. We also ventured out to the Marina for a coastal and caves boat trip - I recommend you wear sun cream for this 3 hour trip! They also stopped for a while so you can have a dip into the sea. Plenty of eateries available at the marina also. All in all a well enjoyed holiday - we would definitely come back.

Myself and my husband have just returned from a fantastic week’s holiday staying at the Aqua Mar apartments. After an early morning flight we arrived before our apartment was ready, however within half an hour (spent with a cold beer at the pool bar!) we were given our keys, our luggage already taken to our room. The apartment (one bedroom with pool view) was huge. Big bedroom (two singles pushed together, very comfortable with lovely pillows!) Large bathroom with two showers (one over the bath) and two sinks. A spacious living room (with sofa bed and tv) led into a separate kitchen with oven, hob, microwave, kettle, toaster and fridge. We could have lived there! The apartment was very clean and had a view of the pool although the balcony was rather small. We were on the ground floor at the end of the building. It was quiet and peaceful even though we were right across the road from a variety of bars and restaurants - a very accessible location. The pool area was great, two pools, plenty of umbrellas and sun beds. People didn’t get up at the crack of dawn to put towels down and there were enough beds for everyone. The pool bar was great for drinks and food, best sangria of the holiday! Special mention to Jose at reception, such a friendly guy who was a joy to talk to and who made us feel very welcome, thank you! I’d definitely recommend these apartments and would happily stay there again.
