From the moment my wife and I stepped into the Aqua Mar with our 3 Month old son we felt completely at home. Staff - From our initial video greeting from Paula, they were all incredible. So welcoming and caring towards us all. Even jokingly being quiet in reception on the one rainy day we were stuck in trying to get him to sleep walking up and down the hall. The room “111”. Was incredibly spacious and equipped. We had dinner in every night and could cook anything we would have at home. It was also completely quiet in the bedroom at night too and the cleaners kept it spotless on their visits. Location - perfect. 30-40 minutes drive from the airport and just 5 minutes walk to the beach with an array of restaurants nearby and two good supermarkets within 10 minutes walk. Overall 10/10. Highly recommended to all. Thank you again all at the Aqua Mar

Large 1 bed apartment but very basic furnishings etc.not many kitchen utensils provided. However, cleaned daily and very comfortable bed. Nice pool area. Location ok, but towards the top of the long bank down to Olhos beach.

We loved our stay at this small hotel that felt like family. The staff made the holiday for us. Maria on the bar making the amazing monitors and white Sangria, Victoria giving us some tips and the unforgettable warm Paula who hosted us and felt like part of our girl gang. She reminded my friends that they need more suncream as they were burning, nothing was too much trouble and hugged us goodbye at the end of our 3 night stay and encourages us to return with our families. We had the best most chilled and fun girls break, 6 of us across 2 rooms. The rooms were spotless and had plenty of space. We are very likely to return. Thanks again everyone.

Second Visit - Dissappointed
This was my second visit to Aqua Mar - following on from a vastly different experience first time round. Although room quality is the same in all rooms, the room I booked (Garden View) had no garden view at all. Instead it was partly underground with a view of the public car park and a chicken wire fence. Take care when booking in case the same happens

Nice Apartment rooms
Comfortable and modern apartment with kitchen and all the amenities. Winter season so just one night stay as part of a week long sightseeing trip in Portugal. Free internet in lobby area was good enough to upload pictures quickly. Only downside was hot water didn't last long - had to wait between showers (80 liters).

GOOD LOCATION
The apartment suited our needs. The hotel apartment was adequate, with all the amenities that you would want. Clean, and very spacious. However, it was very quiet and the staff were not very enthusiastic, which was probably because it was the end of the season. The road up to the apartments were poor, especially for a wheelchair, very bumpy. We hired an electric scooter, and it kept stopping because the road was so bumpy. The food was OK, but it seemed a bit of trouble to make anything. And no change in the till, that sort of thing.

Great little place
Lovely apartment/hotel in great location. Apartment was big with air conditioning and well equipped kitchen. My only mediocre gripe was we had one of the three rooms with a tiny shaded pool view balcony. It wasnt really comfortable to sit on as you couldnt see much from it! Other than that i would definately recommed it. ( just dont get rooms 102 104 or 106 )

Small & Basic but very clean
You get what you pay for. Room was extremely clean and very spacious with towels changed everyday. The town it's self has a small beach and a small section of bars and restaurants. Taxis are quite expensive and you usually had to wait a while for one as it was August apparently. Loved Portugal and the weather was great but will next time stay in the old town as the town was was a taxi ride from everything.

Quiet Aparthotel in a convenient location
As a couple, the Aqua Mar suited us well for a quiet week away in the sun.Small complex with bright & well maintained apartments.The staff were friendly & helpful.Would recommend rooms with pool view as balcony on other rooms were very small. Plenty of good Restaurants within walking distance with best ones probably located at the beach. Albufeira Old Town ten minutes drive away is well worth visit.

Very clean apartments with very helpful staff
We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the apartment and the friendliness of the staff and we would have no hesitation in recommending it to family and friends. The entrance hill was a bit of a killer at first but over the week we realised it gave us some much needed exercise. The only thing that would have improved the stay was an airer that could be used in the kitchen to dry any washing that needed to be done and maybe a welcome pack of basics to start us off - we had to buy tea/coffee/washing up liquid/cleaning cloth/kitchen towels and had to leave what we did not use - we hoped the next occupants could use what was left. Other than that all the facilities were very good. We did not use the eating facilities or the pools but the both looked very clean and well maintained. We will definitely consider these apartments when we return to this area for a future holiday.

Top hotel
The hotel was perfectly located ,not too far from the bars and restaurants and equally less than 6mins walk from the local beach. The rooms were kept clean with daily provision of clean towels and equally the staff especially Sandra and imao were very friendly and always helpful. There were a couple of things which could be classed as petty that I had a gripe with,one was the provision of a safe with no lock (which you had to pay for) and also noticed that our bathroom extractor didn't work which can be unpleasant if one had used the throne hence there was a slight build-up of mould on the ceiling,it's amazing what you notice when you're sat on the bowl(I know too much info). Other than that hotel was beautiful especially the swimming pool area.

Brilliant village and hotel
This hotel was excellent, I would return here. It was modern, the staff were very helpful and there was plenty of room by the two swimming pools. The beach was only five minutes walk away so the choice was ours where to sunbathe. We went out to eat for the four nights that we were there, and each time the food and service was excellent. Chef's Peking was right opposite the hotel serving excellent Chinese food, with a complementary glass of very strong por tto finish. Restaurante O Manuel was right next door to the hotel, again service and food great. Restaurante Cahieros was by the supermarket, again everything excellent, serving traditional Portugese food. The best and most expensive was La Cigale right on the beach, brilliant views and superb food, very well presented. Lovely place to stay, not too noisy unless you wanted it to be.

Great hotel
We have just returned home from a lovely stay at this hotel.It was very peaceful (which is exactly what we wanted).The hotel and its grounds were extremely clean and equipped with almost everything we needed.The staff were helpful and friendly and were happy to bring drinks to us at the poolside. The room we stayed in was spotless and spacious (very nice) but certain things could have been improved, for example,in the bathroom the door handle on the inside was broken, the shower gel mounted on the wall was empty and the shower rail kept falling down. The kitchen area was adequately equipped minus a kettle, dishclothes and teatowels, however we got 2 teatowels the day before we left! This hotel was in a superb location near to shops, a beautiful beach, lots of bars and restaurants and supermarket. We have just booked return flights in August and even though we havent booked our accomodation yet we would definately consider returning to this hotel.

Aquamar Hotel Apartamento, Excellent
Great hotel, if you want a do your own thing place. Set in a quiet fishing village, Olhos D'Aqua, a suburb of Albufeira, it was the perfect base. Clean, spacious, comfortable, quiet hotel. They even did our washing up! We went first week in March so expected it to be quiet. The resort had about half the bars and restaurants open. which were all pretty good and well priced. Special mention for O Manuel that does amazing stake on the stone. Seek out the Black Cat Bar, the owner Roy his a great bloke and offers a very different great value night. Tell him Marcus sent you, you will get a free drink! If you wanted to go to the more party area on the Strip, Central Albufeira, it is 7 Euros and 10 mins away from the Taxi rank next door.
