Alagoa Mar Apartments, Albufeira

we were a two family party of 7-adults who enjoyed everything about the hotel. excellent facilities, service and cleanliness. location is ideal walking distance for old town with lively night life and excellent places to eat. locals make you feel very welcome. no hesitation in recommending this hotel and its locaion. would happily stay here again.good value for money holiday

Its a wonderfful hotel and has had a massive refurbishment which these photos dont show. Excellant.... I go everyear and there is always something new in the resort of Albufeira and the beach is amazing just like the Views.

the hotel was absolutely brilliant and the service amazing we were a family of three and we couldn't fault the place and wouldn't think twice about going back! 27 august 2007

I loved the hotel itself and the staff are wonderful. HOWEVER---having just returned on 21/10/06 after a week's stay, I would like to warn anyone going in the near future to be aware that they are refurbishing entire rooms and the noise is horrendous . The work starts at 8.00 a.m. each morning and continues all day until 6.00 or 7.00 p. m. None of the tour operators had been warned that this work would be going on, although they are aware of it now after lots of complaints from their clients.

June 06 just had 2 wonderful weeks at this excelent hotel 5 star clenliness & service even room numbers overlook the pool and gardens odd numbers are on road side which can be a little noisey, very comfortable room which has good air con & a fridge, maid service is excellent. The hotel is situated slightly nearer to the old town than the strip, 10 min down hill walk, its a good idea to use the noddy train to get around 3 euros to travel all day cuts out all the hillsthe dog & Duck pub on the ground floor is good for a late night drink but has some dodgy entertainment. Overall a great hotel

Having enjoyed a previous stay at this hotel,we were really looking forward to returning. We were delighted to find that the hotel was even better than on our first stay. The outdoor pool has been moved to a much better location and the large terrace area has plenty of sunbeds ( no need to reserve here!)The dining room is much brighter and the buffet style breakfast is superb. We were given rooms, with a garden view( no extra charge), which were to a very high standard. The staff were charming, very friendly and would go out of their way to be helpful. We shall be returning to Cerro Alagoa again and would recommend it to anyone.

The advertisements said that the hotel �included an in room safe.� We had to go to the front desk to purchase the lock for the safe. The room also was to have air conditioning and the air conditioning leaked leaving a large puddle on the floor making it unsafe to be in. We read that the front of the hotel was in a noisy location so we took steps knowing this and �paid extra� to be moved to the "garden" area on the back of the hotel where it says it�s quieter. The only problem was there was a basketball court for the apartment complex located behind us. Unfortunately there was a basketball game going on until well past midnight. Finally...the basketball noise died down but approximately an hour later our room neighbors came back to their room and were slamming doors in and out of the porch area for 3 hours until 5:00am. We did what we could by contacting the front desk and asking that we be moved and requesting they ask our neighbors to hold it down. Their response to being moved was they were to full and the only rooms they had were suites. We told them we�d be more then willing to pay extra and the manager laughed at us and said they were booked. They never called or stopped by our neighbor�s room to request they hold it down being that the walls are very thin and we could hear an entire conversation.
