Great Location
21 August 2008
The best part about this hotel is its location - 5 minute walk to the strip and a 10 minute walk to the beach. There are many restaurants on the roads outside the hotel and the supermarket is just around the corner.
The rooms are basic but clean and based on two levels. We had three balconies which was good.
The pool is slightly cold but the small bar / restaurant on site serves great food and has all sky channels.
This hotel is ideal for any young groups of friends looking for a reasonable hotel in a great location.

Great hotel
05 July 2008
Travelled as part of a stag party, All booked separatly and all rooms were clean and spacious. We have a room with 3 small balcony's and the bedroom and bathroom upstairs which gave us loads of room. The other party had a roof terraced which was big with 4 sun lounges on and a view of the sea! only downside was no air conditioning but the room made up for this. The location is perfect for the strip and beech and the hotel shop is resonable as well. ould definatley go back to this hotel. Thanks

lifetime hols
29 April 2008
myself and nine of my friends have just returned after three days of sun and laughs in portugal. The rooms which we got even had their own rooftop veranda
complete with sunbeds. Fantastin. Central location for the Strip, Old Town & Beach. The rooms were clean and modern and the kitchen had a full size cooker, not that we used it, but it was nice to have one instead of the usual 2 rings, and all the staff were nice and helpfull. l have stayed in these apartments twice before and one of the girls is hoping to go back and stay there next year. lf you are a sun worshiper, request rooms 61,64,or 67 for the roof terrace, with sea veiws. l would like to take this opportunity to thank Alpharooms and Ouratlantico for making my 50th birthday bash, a memorable one.

First time to portugal so had no idea where to stay. We made a good choice staying here. Had a 6 day break end of october 2007 and the weather was perfect, the accomodation was spot on for the price we paid. we bought things out for breakfast in our appartment but it was lovely to be able to go to the breakfast room and buy warm fresh bread. we are looking to come again this year and will definetley stay here

great location
06 April 2008
The best thing about this hotel is its location just about 5 min walk to the strip and not much more to the beach. As for the hotel it has all the facilities it lists, the building and grounds are very well kept, outdoor pool was very cold but indoor pool was nice and warm. The jacuzzi could have done with a clean. Towels were changed once but bed linen was not in our 4 night stay. On the down side the bar was small. It only served snacks and when we booked b+b it didn't state that the breakfast you got was a continental one
If you wanted an english breakfast you had to pay full price out there. Also the studio appartment we got although it was clean it had 3 single beds, one a floor bed and the other two beds had about 4 inches difference in hight so you couldn't put them together. That said we probably would stay there again because of the location but we wouldn't book b+b nor a studio.

Excellent Accomodation
02 December 2007
Our first time at Ouratlantico. We were very pleased with the accomodation and the location.The apartment was spotless with a big lounge / diner / kitchen area downstairs and a bedroom and ensuite bath / shower / toilet on the first floor. The rooms were cleaned daily and the bedding / towels twice in our weekly stay. As with previous reviews, we did find the beds hard and uncomfortable. Due to the time we went - last week of November - the rooms were cold in the night because the floors were all tiled.We were provided with an electric radiator which stayed on throughout the night in our bedroom !! In the daytime the temperature was around 19C but in the night it dropped to about 5C.
We were very lucky with the weather - we didn't see a cloud all week until the saturday we were leaving ; we just had glorious blue skies all week and caught the sun just walking around.We were on the beach every day and even went into the "cold Atlantic Sea".At this time of year only around 20% of pubs/ shops/ restaurants were open with the vast amount of tourists were pensioners here for the winter. The location was great - about 5 minutes from the beach and 2 minutes to the Strip where all the activity took place. The old town is definately worth a visit - 40 minutes walk or 2 euros on the road train. Definately would go back there but maybe a bit earlier in the season when it was a bit livelier.

Fantastic Stay
22 October 2007
Our second visit to Albufeira but first stay in Ouratlantico. We were pleasently surprised with the resort location and apartments on our arrival. All the staff were very nice & helpful and the apartments were very clean and spacious. Our only slight criticism is that the mattresses were very hard so woke up with a sore back most mornings. Would definitely recommend Ouratlantico to friends & family and would definitely come back and stay in Ouratlantico again (tomorrow if possible but hay ho have to go back to work!!)

Our Atlantico
11 October 2007
Really impressed with the apartments at Our Atlantico. Clean and spacious with large balconies for relaxing. The location was superb too. 5 minute walk from the strip but still far enough away not to be bothered by the noise if you were staying in the apartments.
Only slight criticism was that even in October there did appear to be a slight shortage of loungers by the pool. Worth bearing in mind should you be going away in the height of summer.

ouratlantico
23 June 2007
Second time visiting ouratlantico so we knew we going to have a quality holiday before we even arrived the complex is excellently maintained and having walked the length and breadth of the resort we found none better located. It is quiet and relaxed yet only a two minute walk to the bustling strip or a five minute taxi to the peaceful and picturesque old-town with it's cobbled streets and tapas bars. we tried to eat at a different restaurant each evening and found none that we wouldn'treturn to, we feel it would be hard not to have a good holiday in albufeira adn the ouratlantico is perfect for your accomodation. It also has two sister establishments elsewhere in the resort. top tip is to pass through the clube praia de oura complex when cvisiting the beach and avoid cardiac hill! say hello to alexandre at the poll bar in the evening!

just returned from a great 9 nights in albufeira,we stayed at ouratlantico and the accommodation was excellent.we had 3 balconies and if we wanted we did not have to go to the beach or swimming pool as they were private and had sun all day right up until around 8pm.The staff were very friendly as were all the portugese we met,first time there but we would definitely stay at ouratlantico again.quiet at night and well maintained.

10 April 2007
Accomodation was spacious and very clean, if a bit basic. Bedroom and bathroom upstairs was a novelty. Staff very friendly and helpful. Location very good, close to Strip and beach but still quiet at night, other than the odd noisy resident who came home full of the joys of life and shared this with the neighbours at 4a.m.! Pool area well maintained. Would recommend this property as being good value for money and would stay here again.

went in october to these apartments. weather was warm in the days and quite cold in the evenings. apartments were nice and clean and quite big. pool was freezing tho!! needed nerves of steel to jump in!! only problem we had was with the stray cats. i love cats but every day we had between 8 and 10 cats of all ages hanging around. it was quite distressing to see skinny little kittens begging for food. apart from that tho, the apartments are in an excellent area. would recommend the jeep safari day trip. great day out exploring the unspoilt algarve.

I stayed here for 9 nights with my wife and her parents found it to be very clean and tidy towels changed every other day.It was very close to the beach and the strip but still very quite, I can imagine it getting very noisey/rowdy during high season.The staff were very friendly and all spoke english dont belive the 10% discount for the trips the price you see is the price you pay. We really enjoyed our stay and recommend it to anyone as it was really good value for money.

What a fantastic room at OurAtlantico!
09 October 2006
This was our first time in Portugal and Albufeira, we wanted a nice place not too near the strip but close enough to walk in. OurAtlantic was perfect. It was just round the corner from everthing, with the beach only a 10 minute walk. Our room was in the middle of the small complex and it was fantastic, it was a huge round building with two bathrooms and a huge lounge area. The complex had a lovely pool and the staff, especially on reception were very friendly and helpful. We are going back to Albufeira early next year and I will certainly be staying at OurAtlantico appartments again.

Location for the strip ideal. Spacious clean apartments, handy having a downstairs sink ans toilet. Onsite restaurant good and will do take away food if you want to sit on your balcony and eat. Very quiet complex when we stayed in Sept, so ideal for famillies and couples, just alittle too quiet for 6 ladies who have left their famillies at home and just like to step it up a notch. There were only 3 or 4 bars that were worth going into on the strip. The old town seemed alot livelier with abit of character and just a short taxi ride away.

Studio was bright and airy and clean. Ideal location for the beach and the "strip". Had a bar although didn't use it very much. Pool area was nice and the pool itself good size and clean with the added bonus of indoor pool and jacuzzi, table tennis, tennis court as well as 2 pool tables. No aircon as advertised although a fan was supplied. Brilliant meals at Wild and Co and the chinese across the road from it. Only down side was the missing watch from the room so beware!

Excellent apartments except for the fact that we booked on the understanding that we would have air conditioning, the Alpha Rooms site stated that we had booked and paid for air con, however on arrival we were told that no rooms in the complex had ari con! The complex is very clean, not too busy and in an excellent location.

The apartments are in a great location. 2 mins from one end of strip & 10 mins from the beach. The apartments themselves are big, there were 2 of us & we had an apartment with 2 floors & 3 balconys, 1 of which got the sun from about lunchtime until early evening. The pool is nice, although the pool bar is a bit expensive but there are plenty of sunbeds & 2 sides of the pool get the sun for most of the day. The strip is lively but the apartments are not affected by the noise. The supermarket on site is more expensive so would suggest finding another one, if you take a left out of the apartments & follow road round, there is a supermarket with fresh bread etc. A righ out of aprtments will take you to strip & then a left at roundabout takes you to beach. For food you are spoilt for choice on the strip, if you like steak you must try a sizzling steak, most of the restaurants serve this & there are plenty of bars to drink in aswell. A taxi to the old town is about 5 euros each way inc tip & well worth it. Overall, we had a great stay in the Ouratlantico & would recommend to anyone who wants to be close enough to enjoy the nightlife but quiet enough to enjoy a good nights sleep!

The location was perfect; walking distance to the beach and the strip. The facility had plenty of parking, a clean swimming pool and well kept grounds. The bar staff were very friendly and accomodating; they went out of there way to find me the U.S. vs Ghana World Cup game on the bar's TV.
The apts themselves were very nice; the small kitchenette was just right for home breakfasts. The towels and sheets could use updating as they were a bit stained and threadbare and the remote control deposit scheme was kind of silly, which is why I rate this place 4 out of 5.
I would defeinately return to the Ouratlantico.

I thought the place was very nice, we had a big apartment. Big enough for 4or6 people though it was only me and my husband. Our room is walking distance to a lot of things. And what make it more enjoyable was, we get to watch a few games (FIFA) at the bar! The rate is not too bad but, can be lowered a bit. I can't wait to plan my next vacation and hopefully to have bussiness with you again..Thank you!

Fantastic accomodation which was spotless. The rooms were spacious and airy and most of them face the pool. The surrounding area was perfect with a good mix of pubs and clubs coupled with the historically pituresque Old Town. I would definately recommend Ouratlantico

Myself and my partner recently stayed here and were well impressed. The apartments are duplex in style and very spacious. Cleaning was 6 times a week with 3 towel changes. Although very central to the beach and the strip, you hear nothing once you enter the complex. Reception is friendly and will arrangea car no problem. highly recomended.
