Orada - Marina Albufeira

"We were very surprised with the size of the apartment. We had a 2 bed apartment H123 and it was on 2 levels with 3 bathrooms. Each room was very large and could cater for many more people than we had as there was only 3 of us. We found that the apartment could have been updated and the kitchen could have had more equipment in it to make cooking easier but we make it work. The reception was quick to respond to a couple of our requests as they said on the information they gave us that the apartment with towels and bedding would be done every2 days. At first this was not but it soon got sorted. The wifi was good and the choice of TV stations was good. The pool was lovely but felt colder as the days went on during our stay but it was very large and the area was clean. We found that there was more than enough sunbeds and umbrellas. However, we could understand peoples previous comments when they said that there was not enough as it was the end of the season when we were there. The pool area was very clean. We found that the complex was quiet and rest full. The complex is near the marina with only a short walk The old town was a 20 minute walk away which we enjoyed the walk it is hilly. We had a car so it was so easy to get around but there was a bus stop near the apartments to be able to get around. There was more that enough parking spaces and you could either park un the underground parking space or outside the apartment. For the money we paid for the apartment we found it good value and we would stay again if we went back to the area."

"With parking spaces you can count on your fingers, we can't put the car in the apartment, even though there is space inside; we didn't sleep all night, many doors were heard slamming in the early morning, and at 10 at night they called our attention to have the children lower their voices—ma'am, they are 4 and 6 years old—everything around is very expensive, we went out for the 2 days."

"Stayed for 4 nights as we had wedding in albuerfia. Gang of us that went. Pros Reception was very friendly wen arrived Apartments very spacious we had 4 bedrooms 4 bathrooms 4 balcony's. Big kitchen everything u need and big sitting room. Quiet area alot people are residents living there. Walk to small marina with resturants and bars. Has to have key cards get into apartment block. Small pool bar. Cons Needs bit of tlc. Sun loungers were not comfortable and pool areas paint coming off etc. Rooms weren't cleaned at all no fresh towels even though reception said every 2 days. Have pay for safety deposit box and 1 big key for room. ( could leave in reception as there was porter on at night) most apartments had steps up to them and dark at night so hard to find your apartment no lights outside the doors. Pool bar staff not friendly. Drink was expensive at pool bar and not big enough for size of complex. Also closed at 7. Overall its good for big gangs there was few stags staying b perfect for that. For price we paid we had everything we needed."
