Near the beach

Had a lovely break here. Excellent location right on the beach. Hotel food and drink was very good and all areas inside and around the pool were very clean. Not lots of noisy guests either.

First of all, I never leave bad reviews and I’ve traveled to over 20 places outside the US. This was the worst all inclusive I’ve experienced. I don’t even know where to start. The safe in the room had no key pad so clearly couldn’t be used, they didn’t inform us you had to use your key card to get electricity, the room was so hot when we got there because the AC was off, There’s ONE bar open all day/ night, it was 11-5 at one place then 6-11 at another. The lobby “bar” was soft drinks only. There’s one restaurant (buffet) for breakfast lunch and dinner and they give you 1-2 hour time slots for each. And “self service” is 11-5 it’s basically chips and burgers every single day. They had a speaker out by the pool with terrible music. No entertainment by the pool or basically anywhere. The “activities” were like ping pong and stretching. So we didn’t do any of that. The buffet “staff” just cleans up when you’re done they don’t get you drinks or ask if you need anything at all, you aren’t allowed anything (not even soda) aside from water or juice until 11am. I’m not sure if the staff didn’t understand us well but we all felt they were terribly rude. The WORST part of the resort was the rock hard beds. We had 3 people to a room and it was two twin beds pushed together and a couch. They were so uncomfortable we all woke up with broken backs. The tv of course only had a few channels and since the wifi barely works you can’t watch anything else. Now I know why it was so cheap.

Property is ok rooms are fine. Housekeeping could be better, i (found all they was doing is emptying the bins) and when i did find that they had changed the sheets on last day i then had to call up to reception to inform them the new sheets was actually dirty! Upkeep of hotel could be better No real amenities, food is do-able. Not enough choice but enough not to starve. Have to leave deposit for basic things even the room key! Had bad loud neighbours, they did not move them or me! No real Entertainment/activities for adults or KIDS. Overall could do with a freshening up but do-able for short stay.

I liked the location of the property but hotel has bad customers service, room doors, bathroom was not working properly. No electricity in the room, the fixed it on our complain but it went out again in the morning.Food quality and taste was terrible. Would never stay in this hotel again.

Very polite and nice staff. Spacious rooms and good food

We stayed in a superior room this time, beautiful sea view, perfect! Cleaned room every day, staff so friendly.

This hotel is very well maintained, comfortable and is wonderfully situated on the beach. The food is excellent, the service friendly and the entertainment good. The only complaint I have is that smoking residents felt it was ok to sit outside the dance and entertainment room with the emergency exit door kept open allowing not only their smoke but the quite considerable cold air to enter.

Great hotel …great location … room needs upgrading… comfortable beds… I didn’t like the idea of having to give my vaccination status to a receptionist, it’s my private and personal health information no one else’s

I stayed in the Auramar hotel for two days at the end of a longer trip to the Algarve as we were meeting up with my partners family. Firstly, believe the other reviews... this hotel is terrible, it is the worst place I have ever stayed in my life. I don't understand who this hotel is aimed at. It was built in the 70's and has not seen any upgrade's since. It is on the wrong side of the beach for Hen's and Stags that want to go to the strip in Old Town and it is as far from relaxing as you can get for couples and families. The decor is what you would expect to find on an early 90's budget family holiday, from the rows of plastic green chairs in reception where guests hang out because its the only place to get wifi in the hotel, to the tacky 'entertainment' area's.. the only thing really missing is the 35 year old in a red jacked by the pool trying to initiate booze filled games. There's a 10 euro cash deposit that must be given to secure your one and only key fob to your bedroom, as you walk towards your room down the hospital like corridors you are met with the bathroom sounds of the residents as the only front window is from the hotel room toilets... The flat screen TV they boast has 18 channels but it wont keep the kids entertained as the only one in English is Sky News. The included breakfast is worse than the re-heated pizza you had in your student flat that will lead you one way or another to bathroom to get it out of your system... Bottom line - Don't stay here

It was a one night stay. Staff were very nice and beds very comfortable but this is an old hotel. We got very little sleep as to shut the door you had to bang it and all night long all I heard was doors banging. Pillows were also terrible. Breakfast was good and it’s close to the beach

HORRIBLE HOTEL- NO SERVICE. Staff refuses to help with WiFi issues. Food is bad. We paid for all inclusive but there was a charge for drinks in lobby bar. WiFi only works in lobby. Computer center totally out of service. Maid refused to give more than 2 towels per room per day. No pool/beach towels
