Wow wow wow!!! Myself and my New Husband were looking for a honeymoon last weekend, been an independent Travel Advisor, I knew this would be difficult with there been so many nice places. We love Portugal and stumbled across this gem of a place. We were welcomed by a lovely gentleman called Dejay, he showed us to our room which I thought was a lovley gesture as not many hotels do anymore. Upon arrival to our room, o my goodness it was beautiful!!!! So modern, clean beautifully decorated, stunning. Dejay took us out to the balcony or should I say rooftop, it had 4 sun loungers, swinging egg chair, dining table and view that was to die for. The hotel was beautiful, the staff were so polite and helpful and we couldn't have wished for anything more for our long weekend. I will definitely be recommending this place to all my clients and family and friends, the location was perfect next to the beach or a short walk to the next shops and beaches and only a short taxi ride into Old Town Albufeira. I just want to say a massive thank you Clube Maria Luisa and we are already looking to come back in April with my family. Mrs & Mr Phoenix

Recently, we had the pleasure of staying in one of the remodeled apartments and we were delighted! The view is simply stunning, especially at sunset. The snack bar offers a wide variety of delicious options that cater to all tastes. The location is perfect, with the beach just a 2-minute walk away!! The pool is great for a refreshing dip, always clean and well-maintained. The cleanliness of the apartments is impeccable and the staff is extremely attentive and friendly, always ready to help with a smile on their face. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for comfort and quality!

“Fantastic Complex”

Fantastic Apartment complex. We stayed for a week (2 friends and 2 children). Considering the apartment was very reasonable we weren’t sure what to expect.

Fantastic Apartment complex. We stayed for a week (2 friends and 2 children). Considering the apartment was very reasonable we weren’t sure what to expect. Rooms were fresh and modern, lots of lovely extra touches (toiletries, coffee machine, washing up liquid and sponge etc) which you don’t always get in other places. The whole place was immaculately presented and house keeping work hard keeping the place clean and fresh. Pool area was lovely, very quiet and always loads of sun beds on offer. On a few occasions we were the only ones there! There was a slight blimp when we arrived. We were greeted by a polite and helpful young man who informed us there had been a mix up and the 2 bed apartment we’d book wasn’t going to be vacated until the following day. In which case for that night we were placed in a 1 bed with sofa bed in lounge. By way of compensation, we were given free breakfast the following day. The apartment was huge and again well appointed. We found the complex and the surrounding areas to be really quiet, we were told this was because it was the start of the season. It was a 10-15 min walk to the main resort which had 10+ restaurants and bars as well as the main beach. There is also a beach 50m away from the apartments, however that is accessed by 100+ steps (not buggy friendly). We got an Uber into Albufera a few times (this ranged from 6-10 euros each way. Although that was enjoyable, we were glad to return to the quieter and more chilled area of Ohlas de Água. Cannot speak highly enough of this complex, can’t wait to return.

“Completely and utterly… average :(”

The hotel itself is lovely, the space is beautiful, it’s location is perfect being so close to the beach, it’s not too far from Olhos d’Agua (maybe a 10 minute walk), the check in process was easy and hassle-free.

The hotel itself is lovely, the space is beautiful, it’s location is perfect being so close to the beach, it’s not too far from Olhos d’Agua (maybe a 10 minute walk), the check in process was easy and hassle-free. Unfortunately that’s where my praises stop. We booked a room for 6 people, two double beds and a sofa bed. the rooms were fine however being right beside the main corridor we could hear everything that was going on outside, every footstep and conversation came through our walls. Our windows opened directly into the main corridor (even the one in the bathroom!) so anyone and everyone could’ve walked past and heard any conversations that we were having in the room Due to the sofa bed being pulled out we had next to no living space just a small table with only 4 chairs (for a room with 6 people?) and the kitchen space. One of the main reasons we chose this hotel was that it had AC, what we weren’t aware of was that it was centralised, rather than for individual rooms. The pool area of the hotel was lovely, save for the fact it was a saltwater pool. There were nowhere near enough sun beds for the guests and we often found that there were none free for even one of us to put our things by. Don’t even get me started on the hotel breakfast. a couple of slices of ham, cheese, a couple of slices of fruit and bread, and some granola was the height of it. i have never seen a worse hotel breakfast in any hotel i’ve stayed at. the lack of choice disgruntled everyone and knowing that wed paid extra for this did genuinely upset some of us. Knowing we were going to a 3* hotel we weren’t expecting much but surely it should be more than this? The icing on the cake was the coffee machine spat out some of the worst coffee i have ever had; just to round off the abysmal breakfast.
