Colina do Mar

So close to all the fun touristy stuff like the beach and restaurants and shops, a very friendly front desk, and a roof deck pool. Great a/c! Adequate breakfast.

It is close within old town, the air con was new and worked perfect, it had new shower head fitted to the bath, the mini fridge worked great. It was clean. We had room 14. We would stay again for a couple of nights we booked 2 nights stayed one and used the 2nd so we could late checkout in the evening.

We had an emergency accommodation need for our teenage son and his friends who were turned away from another local provider who had given away their reservation. The Colina do Mar provided a late check in at 11pm and looked after them, even providing luggage storage the following day. It is a reminder that, regardless of the level of an accommodation, it is the kindness and helpfulness of staff that matters most. We are eternally grateful.

Great location, just a step away from everything, restaurants, beach, travel agencies, shops, bar street, but far enough not to be in the center of the madness. Breakfast is good, you can get anything you need protein - eggs, yogurt, beans, carbs - bread, cereal, pastries and fruit, etc. to start your day. The bed was comfy and the size of the room was decent. It was good to have a swim in the pool when we arrived in the evening after a long journey. Most of the hotel staff was friendly. Great base, if you want to be close to the beach and to the sparkling life of Albufeira.

So clean. Fantastic breakfast. Wonderful roof terrace and pool. So close to old town and peaceful away from noisy bars in main square.
