The kitchen was pretty well equipped although it would have been nice to have a coffee maker. The rooms were kept very clean by the chambermaids and we have nothing but great things to say about the wonderful fellows that manned the front desk. The area of Olhos de Aqua is a very quaint part of Albufeira which we absolutely loved. We felt very safe here and loved all the little restaurants in the area. We would definitely stay here again. Our thanks to all the staff!

Traveling through Portugal as a solo motorcyclist, I found this to be a great hotel. Safe parking off street for the bike, away from prying eyes behind a barrier. Facilities are awesome - more space than I knew what to do with. Great place to spend a few days or a few weeks.

Was pleasantly surprised with this place. The staff were very kind and helpful. Was like a little apartment, without a washer though. 1 min walk to the beach and plenty of restaurants in very short distances.
Lots of kids/families by the pool. A little wading pool for the little ones too. The bar by the pool is nice and has plenty of options for food and beverages.

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.

Wonderful stay at the aqua mar. Apartment had all the amenities needed. All the staff were so friendly and went out their way to help. The hotel and rooms were spotlessly clean and the apartment was always cleaned daily. We would often be in the room around the maid service times for our child's nap but the maids always accommodated and came around later which we really appreciated.
In future I would book a superior room as our balcony was a bit small but we had a lovely view of the pool otherwise.
Plenty of bars and restaurants around the hotel, although it is a bit hilly and some of the beaches aren't accessible if you have a buggy/wheelchair.
Would definitely stay again.

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.

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
