My Wife and I stayed in Hotel Almar for 2 weeks in October 2011. The Hotel is situated in a mainly residential area, but within very easy walking distance of Fisherman's Beach and Albufeira Old Town Square. Whilst the Hotel is basic, it is very clean and the Staff are very helpful and friendly. The rooms are fully equipped and... More

Stayed in a one bedroom apartment which was a really good size. It was on the 3rd floor and so had a great view from the balcony of the sea and the old town. I agree that the rooms may be a bit dated in places but the staff were very friendly, it was clean and very handy for the... More

Just got back from the Almar apartments Albufeira Portugal. Found them to be very roomy but basic and in need of a refurb. Apartment was a side sea view overlooking the gardens which were pretty and the view was beautiful of the sea and surrounding town. The pool area was pretty but the pool was cold. Cheap beer and sangria... More

Generally enjoyed our stay and was impressed by the hotel - it is in a great location and only a short walk to Fisherman's Beach. The room was very spacious and very clean. The only thing we missed was air conditioning in the room. We really enjoyed our stay with the exception of the last 2 nights which were particularly... More

Just arrived back from Albufeira and whilst the place itself is lovely, this hotel was very disappointing. We paid over £80.00 a night via late rooms and this hotel was not value for money. The studio apartment we had been allocated had no bed, just two very small sofa beds that could not be moved - not appropriate for a... More

I was looking for a good few weeks to find a holiday as we could only fly for 2-3 hrs from the UK. So we decided on Portugal. I looked at package holidays then decided i would try and cost it all separately. I saved around £180 booking it all separate, and i will be doing it all separate in... More

My girlfriend and I are planning on staying in Hotel Almar for 1 week in september and we just wanted to know what is the best room to book? from reading the reviews the studio's have sofa beds which are very uncomfortable and the apartments have normal beds along with the sofa beds. on travel republic they are offering these...

Stay here for a week from 11th to 18th April. Staff got to know us really quickly and just got our key ready for us the second they saw us walk in the door as we had to hand our key in every time we left. 24 hour reception which was really handy. Main strip is a good 15 minutes... More
