Nearly new apartments, beautiful large and well appointed. High standard at all. However, should the rooftop swimming pool be heated off-season, it was simply too cold to use in this end-April 2013. The apartments are located right near the center and close to the sea, and with nearest Lidl within 10 minutes walking distance. The Complex with many apartments here... More

We stayed in a one bedroom apartment, which was very spacious with an ensuite bedroom, additional bathroom, kitchen, living room, dining room and balcony. There were lots of towels provided, which were changed once per week and everything was very well equipped. (There was a dishwasher tablet provided inside the drawer of the dishwasher, which we didn't notice until we'd... More

My wife and I spent 3 weeks in Real Marina Residence Olhao taking in Christmas and New Year .The self catering apartments were very well fitted out with seemingly new cooker , fridge, freezer etc and even the cutlery was spotless . Our one bed apartment was very spacious with large living/ dining area and with furniture much superior to... More

After having a lovely time at The Real Marina Residence last November we decided to return. Once again we were upgraded to a 2 bed, 2 bathroom & cloakroom apartment for 2 of us. Spotlessly clean & well equipped. After just reading the previous review I can say we had the opposite experience...plenty of hot water, instant heating via air... More

We booked this accommodation for the 2nd week of our holiday and we had a very disappointing experience. To be fair we stayed in a wonderful apartment for the first week so this may have coloured our expectations. We asked to change the apartment we were first allocated as it was at the back of the complex overlooking a waste... More

Went with wife, sons 3 & 9 years old in Feb 2013, very quiet and not hot. Great apartment, well equipped with everything you need but a colander if your cooking rice/pasta. I've uploaded lots of pics of the apartment, so take a look, looks like the EU credit crunch put a hold on some of the apartment blocks being... More

The appartments are beautiful, lots of room to swing the cat. Was given a free up grade to a 2 bed appartment for just the 2 of us. Which was 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. These have everything that I needed. There is just to the side of the appartments water ways which you can walk around, this is great... More

We have just returned from the Real Marina Residence apartments. Just as they are advertised and true to the comments left previously there are a dream. We were upgraded from a 1 bedroomd to a 2 bedroomed apt and it was immaculate. The space, furnishings, bedding, towels, kitchen equipment, there was even hair and shower gel and soap left for...

First class hotel but, as might be expected, a bit pricey for meals and drinks. My wife and I stayed for seven nights which included breakfast and enjoyed every minute of it, although it was a quiet time of year. The room, overlooking the sea was very good, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. All staff, from reception to housemaids to... More
