Cerro Mar Atlantico & Cerro Mar Garden  

Lovely apartment complex. We went in Winter so enjoyed the indoor pool, sauna and jacuzzi (no extra charge). Outdoor pools looked lovely but only for the brave in winter! There was also a gym which we didn't use but looked very nice. Also used the tennis court (€5 per person) which was in good condition. Staff were friendly and helpful. The complex is in a good location overlooking the old town of Albufeira (the less 'touristy' part). It was a 5 minute walk down steps to get into the town centre for the restaurants, bars, etc. No problem for the young and healthy but quite a climb back for the elderly or those with young children.

Loved everything, but quite a steep 5-min walk into town, so not so good for the elderly or those with young children.

Location, comfort

the design. the staff were friendly.

the exterior pools were freezing. Even the baby's pool, so no use as it would have been cruel to put a toddler in there.

We loved the location.We were just beside the lovely old town.The apartment was spotless,cleaned daily and we had a beautiful sea view.The 100 steps to the old town were not a problem at all.Would strongly recommend Cerro Mar Garden .

Liked everything about it.

We liked the fact that when we asked in our booking for a room up high to enjoy the view it was no problem. We were on the 6th floor and had a fantastic view. Also the cleaning staff were great. Our 4 year old wet his sheets by accident one night and there was no problem in getting fresh sheets. We washed them ourselves but had no way of drying them.The girls working in the bar were excellent. We would love to come back and we will reccomend the hotel to family and friends.

We didn't like the fact that the glass doors from the outside pool into the spa/toilet facilities were closed. It meant that to go to the bathroom we had to go through reception or the bar. It's a little awkward when wearing a swim suit.We also found the reception staff very cold. They came across a little uninterested and at times rude.

Excellent apartment and facilities, staff were friendly and efficient, highly recommended.

Lovely spacious apartment rooms, 5 mins from the old town. Excellent value for money.

the accomodation was good for the price paid very comfortable and clean, the guys on reception ten out of ten for politeness and patience given some of the less well behaved people ,i encountered in there on occasions, the lady however needs a retraining programme on customer service, sultry and abrubt and not helpful or accommodating at all,however the ladies in the spa are lovely so friendly and gentle mannered a treat to spend time in there. The weather was not so good on our visit and so looked forward to a dip in the indoor pool which on arrival necessated a swimming cap (NOT IN THE DESCRIPTION ANYWHERE) at the cost of 4 euro per cap, i have short clean hair and thought this request a little over the top if you have long hair i can understand this but this was disappointing to say the least as i detest things tight to my head therefore missed out on this experience, ive never stayed anywhere on the algarve in 15 years that insists on this so extreme i thought and restricting as too cold for the outdoor pools

swimming caps for indoor pool very over the top never known anyone across the algarve do this!!! female receptionist curt and not friendly at all ironing board but no iron ???? you have to borrow one from reception for 2 hours why not just have one in the apts corridors can be noisy if you have inconsiderate landing neighbours

The Apartment was great, the view (we were on the top floor) was amazing, the outside area we had was vast ! (room 610 would recommend). The location whilst up the hill was close to everything, a short taxi back is only 3-4 euros. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

No problems at all, this is our second visit and will stay again.

Great apartment.. massive! with the benefit of hotel facilities. Great value for money, clean and with a touch of luxury. Great for a family holiday off season with an indoor pool and the old town within walking distance. Heated rooms were needed in March.

Read the reviews. We knew what to expect and were not disappointed. If you want a large family apartment with the added bonus of daily cleaning and towels then this is for you, but if you are looking for a four star hotel with entertainment it's probably not.

The apartment was spacious, clean and well serviced and the staff were friendly and helpful.

1. Having to walk up a steep hill dragging our luggage after a long day travelling. 2. had dinner on the night we arrived and my meat was raw. 3. Whilst friendly and mostly helpful the reception staff were very slow and even key pick-up was an ordeal.

Facilities ,security,good price,fine restaurant.

The flat was too damp, because it was situated on the ground floor, and because of that we missed also the view to the sea. And no free wi-fi.

You have your own suite. I forgot my jacket in the suite and they sent it for free back. Big saunas for free!

If you want to enter the swimmingpool you have to wear a swimmingcap. If you don't have it, you can buy it for 4,- euro a person. Second of all there is too much chloor in the swimmingpool and jacuzzi.
