AP Oriental Beach - Adults Friendly

"Nice Hotel with lots of character, but the dated Premium Sea Front Room 108 requires urgent renovation, in particular removal of the Health & Safety Hazard (trip/slip) of the step between the Room and the Balcony. Also the Bathroom requires upgrade and mechanical ventilation."

"We had a great stay at this hotel. The hotel is spotless. Our room was well equipped and very comfortable. We were half board , breakfast and evening meals were consistently excellent. Minor gripe but water should have been provided for evening meal, not at an additional cost. It was very hot, the parasols around the pool and garden are not adequate to provide shade. The location of the hotel is fantastic, we choose it having been to pdr before, close enough to be able to easily walk in but in the quiet area. A recommendation would be to refuse entry through the pool fire door at night. As despite the room being lovely we had people coming back through it from the beach entrance in the early hours of the morning and slamming the door, consistently waking us up. Apart from that I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending it."

"My husband and I have just returned from 10 days in this lovely hotel. We had a wonderful time. We had a room with side view of the sea and overlooking the pool. On arrival at 2am we were shown to our lovely room by Phillip, who was friendly and helpful. On reception Katarina greeted us regularly with a warm smile and was very helpful when we needed assistance. During both breakfast and dinner we were served by the lovely Carlos who was very friendly and chatty. We also found Pedro to be very helpful too. All staff were friendly and courteous to us. Our room was kept immaculately clean. The food was lovely we particularly enjoyed the variety and having cake and sparking wine with orange juice to make bucks fizz( after all we were on holiday!) for breakfast. We went on three day trips during our stay: the historical Algarve trip, the super jeep safari day and the trip with emotions 5 to see the dolphins and the Bengali caves! All were superb and we can highly recommend them all! The sunsets we saw were spectacular and we spent hours sitting outside to view them. We can both highly recommend this hotel! Thanks to all the staff for making our visit so memorable and special!"
