“Great!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2007

We booked last minute flights with Globespan for a 5 day break. After many evenings trawling through the internet, looking at airlines, hotels, apts, trip advisor, holiday watchdog etc etc. We decided to book through Globespan direct and we were allocated accommodation at the Algarve Mor Apartments in Praia Da Rocha.

They were great!! Best apartments we have been to, I think!

The rooms were huge. Massive bathroom , kitchen, little seperate balcony for your washing. The lounge had a sofa (which I think doubled as a sofabed, and a little bed was set up for our 4 year old daughter. In the separate bedroom there were another 2 single beds. Good sized balcony with amazing views. To our left was the lovely beach and to the right hand side was the harbour..

Also a strange thing.... we were on the 8th floor (top) and the corridor we were on had 3 sets of patio doors at different angles giving cracking views over the beach and the harbours again...

The staff on reception were very helpfull as I had food poisoining (from Aqua Zoo, don't eat fish at their restuarants unless you want to be ill for a day or 2!).

Also the location is really central, 5 mins from the beach and right amongst things. Not too noisy though as we had no problems sleeping nor did our 4 yr old..

Downside.. well none really. the only thing I would say is that the pool which is on the first floor! is a little bit small. But it wasn't all that busy when we were here in September so it was fine. Also the supermarket next door to the apartments is a total rip off. We bought a couple of bags of messages and it came to 80 euros, I nearly fell over.... Well shafted. and that was with 4 cans of beer and no other alcohol..

However a good time was had and I would recommend this accommodation. Hope this helps someone with their future booking. We will be returning booking direct through the apts in November this year!

  • Liked — spacious apartment with fab views in central location
  • Disliked — Having to hand key in every time you leave!!! but hey

“Atlantic views”

Our family of 4 - 2 girls aged 9 & 12 had a week at the A mor in June. The rooms were more spacious than we were used to and well equipped. cleaninf service excellent. No kids cclubs, shows or bar, which suited us as there are some fabulous restraunts nearby and the beach is sdevine. People lovely - not p8ushy or "in your face". We loved La Dolce Vitae Italian restraunt an dfor a low priced upmarket meal, Squash was superb. I've heard the Titanic is overrated - not gone on kids and a bit rushed. Would definitely recommend Praya de Racha and can't wait to return!

“a great holiday”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 June 2007

My husband and I have just returned from our first holiday to the Algarve. We booked it through the internet and were not too sure what to expect (although we never heard a bad report of this area). Our apartment was brilliant, very spacious and well equipped with stunning views of the lovely beach and the Atlantic. The apartments were well situated at the far end of 'the strip' which gave us a nice walk every night but there was no noise in our area.

The staff at reception and the maids were all very friendly and helpful. Our apartment was cleaned and towels changed 7 days out of the 9days we were there.

We ate out every evening and found some very nice restaurants. Hollywood was very busy but good food and excellent prices. The young waiter on the door was particularly pleasant. Titanic has an excellent reputation and although we found the food very good we felt the atmosphere was all a bit frantic. It was a busy night and people had to wait for a table which was fair enough but the antics and attitude of the head waiter would not have put Basil Fawlty to shame! Our favourite restaurant was Squash which had amazing food, nice waiters and did not cost the earth. One not to be missed!

We visited a snack bar on a few occasions called Dina's Bar (opposite Dirty Nellies Pub) for my husband to have a Mega breakfast. Staff were really nice and helpful , food was lovely and they run a book exchange which I find a bonus not to have to carry all those books home again.

All in all we had a great holiday and hope to return to this beautiful part of the world again. I cannot recommend it highly enough!
