The staff is very kind, available for all needed information. Our room was very spacious and had a nice view to the sea. Breakfast is fine. Albufeira is a very nice town, especially for young people. The hotel is placed on the top of a hill. The city center is 5/10 minutes walking (going down the hill), but coming back takes longer. You have nice beaches close to the city center, but the nicest ones can be easily reached by car.

The price. On this occasion we were given a room with no balcony. It was not the best... but then we did not pay much for it so it's fair enough...

On our 2nd visit to this hotel we got a room with a balcony which made it more enjoyable. The price was fair. It is a little dated but then so are the prices they charge. If you are looking for mod cons etc then this is probably not for you. It is a good walk back from the old town as it is up high on the hill. But if you do not like walking up hills perhaps it's best not go to Albufeira as it is built on them...We would use this hotel again...

Handy for the beach and the 'old town' but some residents were elderly and with sticks, must have been a struggle for them to get up and down the walk as it is very steep. Would point this out in any advertising. No aircon which we didn't need but would not have liked to stay in July or August without. Pool area very, very small and not very aesthetically pleasing but beach 5 mins walk away so not that important. Bit of 'drain smell' in lounge and bar area but not in rooms. View of sea and hillside from balcony. On the whole excellent value for money if your wanting a 'cheap as chips' holiday.

Location is very good, but it is a little bit hard to find. Bathroom is big and comfortable. View from the balcony to the ocean is fantastic. The swiming pool is clean. Staff is really, really nice and helpfull. They asked all our questions with a full attention and they speak fluent English.

We have stayed at the Mar A Vista for the last 4 years it is basic but clean,the staff were helpful and friendly, although we feel the hotels furnishings need be brought more up to date especially in the guests bedrooms although they are kept clean they have old furniture would benefit from more modern approach also consider air conditioning a priority.

Have stayed here before, we chose it because of the sea views, its basic but clean, breakfast is good valuye considering its not an expensive hotel, Staff are friendly located on top of a hill so rooms stay cool, pool is small but considering the beach is 5 min walk away going downhill thats not a problem. Would recommend this hotel but not if you have bad legs in a wheel chair because of its location. If your looking for a 5star hotel then this isnt for you, but for helpfulness of staff and friendly faces, clean basic rooms with breakfast and fab views then would recommend this hotel Will definately visit again it is a favourite of ours.

The view was very good. I had asked for a room high up and was given this. Staff were very helpful. The distance to the beach. The price was somewhat expensive for the quality of room.

The hotel is not so much expensive, but situeted at the very good place. Rooms are beautiful with small balcons, wonderful view of ocean. Beach is quite close, besides you can have a rest at the swiming pool, which is in the hotel. Staff of hotel is very kind and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay there, like being close to heaven!

La ubicación y el precio para la temporada de octubre, que es en la que he ido Nada especialmente, si acaso que veo que si hace calor la habitación sólo cuenta con ventilador, no con aire acondicionado, lo que es un inconveniente.

“The staff were second to none. Absolutely excellent. So friendly, helpful and accommodating, nothing was a problem. While facilities were basic the place was spotlessly clean. Residents have the use of pool at a sister hotel close by vif going to Albufeira. Excellent location in the heart of everything. One of the best locations possible. I'll be back!!!” Charlie, Galway |
