upon arrival at 10am we were advised we could not check in until 3pm and this was standard, the lady on reception was rude and very unhelpful as we did not know where we could keep our luggage or where any of the facilities were in the complex (eventually we located the pool and bar) pool and bar area very... more

As like most reviewing these apartments, went away quite dreading what we may find! But it was only for 5 nights, and was mega cheap for family of 4! Booked a 2 bedroomed apartment on high floor and thats exactly what we got. Block C3, Room 213. Couldn't get further away from reception/pool, right at edge of complex but it... more

Before we left we were very aprehensive about the hotel as reviews were not so complementry. All in all though we found the place to be value for money. Yes it is very 70's style in the decor, yes the shower head is fixed so low down that bashfull, sneezy and dopey would have trouble getting under it, yes the... more

Just returned and to anyone thinking of booking I would say don't.Location not a problem-10 min walk uphill from old town (which is just absolutely fantastic place) so just as we expected.We are not professional complainers and always make the best of things so this review should be taken seriously.Staff on reception are unhelpful with defensive attitude probably caused by... more

Me and my friend stayed at the Jardim Apartments 1 for one week at the start of September 09. After reading the reviews on the apartments, we would have cancelled our stay if it had not meant we would have lost 25% of what we had paid. Because of this, unfortunately we decided to stay. When we first went to... more

If you are not used to going to the bed after 1:30 AM then this is definitely not the place to go for you. I have suffered from lack of sleep throughout my stay at Jardim which was very disappointing to say the least. Three times a week they do a horrendously loud open karaoke which prevents everyone in all... more

Very low service from hotel staff. Everything costs extra, taxi-booking, TV-remote (of course, everything is in portugese so you´d rather go to the beach) and safe. No Internet, and the staff calls you up to market the Pool Restaurant. The rooms do not have air-condition. Sounds worse than it is, even with temperatures passing 40 C. The Algarve winds help... more

Upon arrival at our apartment at 10pm we got to our room and switched the light on to find the biggest cockroach i've ever seen in my life scurrying across the kitchen (which by the way was pretty shoddy and like a sheet of metal). I went straight to reception and complained and was promptly taken to a bigger room... more
