Aparthotel Calema Avenida Jardim

"The food between 02.08.2025 and 09.08.2025 was super, very good cooked and tasteful! The location is good, about 5 minutes walking to beach. Cookers: Dalia e Emerson. The rooms are very big with one (2 single beds) and the living area with 2 sofas which can be joined for another bed. Kitchen also in the room is good. The swimming pool is small, but for not a problem because I did not go for this hotel because of swimming pool. So no complains. AC was too cold, but I also stayed away from."

"Rock hard beds. Very limited hot water so if you have long hair to wash then nobody else is getting warm water for at least 15 minutes after you have finished. Paint peeling from the baths. Tru to be as self sufficient as possible as most things you ask for will be too much trouble. It is really noisy at night especially if you are placed over the gym side of the hotel. I would not recommend this for families but it's fine for a cheap getaway."

"Spacious apartment capable of sleeping 4: sitting room with 2 sofa beds, kitchenette, separate double bedroom, bathroom, balcony overlooking a road at the front of front of the hotel, so poorly silenced scooters and mopeds give an early morning call and a dog in a house opposite voices its separation anxiety by day. Rooms at the rear overlook the small pool / garden and the back of the next apartment block. Kitchen equipped with double hob, microwave, kettle and cooking and eating utensils. Just 1 powerpoint for microwave and kettle. Didn't find any English TV channels. Wifi in room but this might have been because we were above reception. Real door key - a thankful departure from those unreliable electronic key-cards. Retro-style hotel and period style room furniture looking clean and fresh. Lifts are small and old fashioned type. Cold continental style buffet breakfast. If booking B&B take a copy of the paperwork to prove breakfast has already been paid for - the paid-for guest list can be error prone. We didn't take the hotel restaurant evening meal - bit expensive. Out and about: Hotel is about 5 minutes walk from the sea front. Coffee about €1 and excellent Portuguese wine is very cheap from supermarkets. I paid €2 for a bottle of wine that sells for £8.50 in UK. Otherwise, supermarket food, restaurant meals and beer are approximately UK/EU prices or perhaps a little more."
