Cerro Mar

Apartment well-furnished and equiped; hotel facilities ample;elevated and quiet position overlooking the old town to the sea. All in all a very good aparthotel indeed although we were probably in the best block. (The 97 steps up and down to the main square were no real problem at all)

Restaurant disappointing,perhaps because too few customers at this time of year (November)

We liked that it had an indoor as well as an outdoor pool, We loved the location, the steps can be a bit of a pain sometimes but they lead you right into the main square.

Although the hotel may not be suitable for people with mobility problems, it was perfect for my family. Lovely views out to sea & the old town. Quiet location.....just very hilly!

When booking it was not clear which block we would be allocated. As there are four different blocks separated by a road, it should be made clear where we would be as we were allocated a different block from my children. The hotel seems to ignore requests noted on the booking.

lovely and relaxing yet only 10 minute walk down to the old town and 15 to fishermans beach. staff were friendly and helpful.

I like it a lot. It's near everything, the old town and the ocean. The staff was helpful and nice. There's everything we needed in the kitchen. The apartment was really spacious.

The size of the apartment and the freedom of use......ie I booked it but I could have had 3 people join me if I wanted......in comfort

The climb up the hill

The location was good overlooking the bay and close to main centre but far enough away to get some peace at night to sleep. Good pool areas and "the steps down to the resort" aren't as bad as made out. Would definitely stay again. .

There are 4 blocks 3 New, 1 Old. The old is retro and for the price we paid it was fine. If we'd paid full price we would have been miffed. Staff were mostly grumpy and solemn but not rude. Not great for older people or families with young children as access would be a problem over a week.

Location was great, 10 min walk to beach, 5 min to main square and restaurants/bars etc. Spacious apartments with choice of 4 different pools in the 3 star. Big balcony with sea view. Cleaned every day... Definitely recommend!

The closest shop next door is ridiculously expensive and Lidl is a 10 min trek so not good if you want to buy a fair amount of food for the apartment and don't have a car.

Nice staff. Very near to the city centre of Albufeira. Possibility to choose from various swimmingpools. Great view over Albufeira and the Ocean

good location even though there are lots of steps between hotel and resort

there were 3 seperate blocks, ours was the worst, the facilities pictured on the website were not for our use.

It is situated in the distance of a walk from the town centre, which is rather convinient. However one should take into account that Albufiera is a busy night life resort so late evening and night noises are frequent to encounter. The hotel is nice and clean, a bit old funishing of the room doesn't bother. The swimming pool area is very nice. Small swimming pool is perfect for children aged 3-5.

The noise of evening parties and the youths going down town to the night clubs is frequent to face. Families with small children should take it into account.

apartment,staff,facilities,pools all top class.Too many noisysy bars but lots of hidden gems if you look a bit harder.

the dreaded steps,but only 4 euros for a taxi

good location if you dont mind the steps

staff unhelpful. needed extra pillow but refused. wanted to change mattress but refused. had to pay for £15 for a safe in the room, should be free. sofa bed not comfortable. had to borrow an iron as not provided. only one key for a group of 4 is ridiculous. no information on sights or activities in the local area. no information provided about the hotel, facilities, times etc. had to pay to book a taxi and were told tennis courts were fully booked so couldnt play, but didnt see anyone playing that afternooon or evening
