What our customers say
I booked this a week before departing, we stayed from 14th - 20th June. My other half and I were fortunate enough to stay in the new 'View' building and the apartment was brand new and seemed as if we were the first to stay there. It was very spacious for 2 people (could fit upto 4). All the utensils were there in the kitchen and bathroom was very clean. Balcony had a lovely view of Albufeira and the ocean. Albuferia is not expensive so it is possible to eat out every night on a budget, but if self catering, there are a few shops (and a Lidl) within 10-15 mins walk. The pool was lovely, and as the apartments were not fully occupied, the pool area was quiet and uncrowded. Staff were very helpful, friendly and informative, the breakfast buffet was highly worth it- selection of hot and cold food and drinks to a good standard. Our friends (another young couple) who booked a week before us stayed in another older building of Cerro Mar- there apartment was even more spacious but slightly dated and their apartment had a very strong cigarette smoke smell which was a little off putting (but spent most the time at our apartment anyway). Their building's pool area was rather noisey during the daytime. The only other negative I can think of (not really associated with the Cerro Mar apartments) but the road outside reception is a little steep and the paving is a bit slippery so beware. And the last thing- Cerro Mar is situated at the top of the stairs which lead down to Albufeira, about 95 steps- can be tiring but being young and generally fit- it wasn't too bad but I can imagine it to be quite a chore with young kids and the elderly. Overall, we all had a great enjoyable holiday and would love to return to Cerro Mar in Albuferia (given that we are booked into the new buildings).
