This apartment complex is very, very basic and the rooms are in dire need of an upgrade. We got a spacious 2 bedroom apartment with a balcony, 2 bathrooms, separate kitchen and living room area. Tiny television with only one English channel - Eurosports! Some of the lights didn't work and the ones that did were very dim. It did... More

The best thing about the hotel was its location. We were about 1 minute's walk from the beach, restaurants, bars, etc, but the street itself was a quiet one-way one. Staff were friendly and polite. The hotel was a little rundown, it has certainly seen better days, but it was still reasonably well-kept. The lifts were tiny and could not... More

We travelled here for a short break for 3 nights. As soon as we got off the plane the heat was immense. This would have been a great start as our transfer time was supposed to have only been 40mins......2 hours later we arrived at our hotel, Ourasol. (Thanks a lot Sun4u for arranging that at 35 quid each) The... More

These apartments are very basic, and on a hill but you get what you pay for. I took my 6 month old son on his first holiday, and had no problems with the hill, it is a little steep, but once you've done it a couple of times its no big deal. The apartments are a 4 min walk to... More

Really close to beach, apartments cleaned daily, large apertments, aircon, really friendly staff......Basic but ideal for a group holiday, not a place i would take children to though, think the hotel is aimed more for adults....the lift is a bit didgy to say the least, the corridors were dark constantly in the day....but all in all perfect for the strip...

We just came back from a weeks stay at Ourasol, and were very pleasantly surprised having feared the worst after reading the other reports (after having booked the hotel). Our experience was a slightly worn hotel, but everything that needed to be there was there. We had a large apartment, with view over the pool. Our balcony was sunny in... More

If I had booked my recent holiday through a travel agent, then I would have been EXTREMELY disappointed if THEY had recommended this hotel as 3 star rated !!!!. . . It definately is NOT, in my opinion. My room was on the 1st floor. I used the lift just the once, as I realised there was no inside door,... More

This has to be the worst hotel in Portugal, never mind 3 stars it shouldnt hold 1 star. The room stunk of damp as did the pillows (which i managed to get changed), the furniture was basic to say the least but worst of all was the noise, throughout the night there were people screaming, shouting and banging . The... More

Upon reading the previous review of these appartments, (after I had booked) was a bit daunting, however upon arrival we were not shocked by what we saw, the staff were friendly, and the location amazing, 200 meters from beach, (Oua beach not Albufeira) and 500m from the main strip of bars/cafes/shops etc, but on a side street so it didn't...
