Despite some reviews we decided to book the apartments at the Alfamar Resort Algarve Gardens after checking the place out last year during a visit to Albuferia. We stayed in Block 2 basic but comfortable and clean. We asked for and received on arrival a new kettle and toaster - rooms cleaned and new towels provided each day - cheap... More

I stayed here with my 3 yr old daughter at Easter 2012. when we arrived we had to wait an hour as the room was not ready so we left our bags in the luggage room and went exploring. The hotel was dead, the bar was not open nor was the cafe. we later found out that people tend to... More

Not much to look at from the balcony. Beds... More

Just to add that we did not have an electric kettle in the room but boiled our water on the electric cooker. We weren't offered a heater either and the apartments were a bit cool in the evening but we didn't go... More

We recently stayed for a week at Janelas Do Mar apartments for a family holiday and we were suprised with some of the negative feedback that the apartments get. They ain't no 5 start establishment but they are clean and fairly modern and are good to use as a base to explore the Algarve. The staff whilst not exactly leaders... More
