Janelas do Mar Apartamentos Turisticos

It is located 30-40 minutes from the beach. Shop is 10 min away. Apartments has thin walls. Simple apartment for a great price. Had a good kitchen. Would book again.

Went for a hen party, 20 of us, never been more accommodating, they had a 24 hour shop if you needed something last minute, uber only €3-5 which was bery good! Had 5 rooms in total booked, all very spacious, no one had any complaints and every morning loo roll and towels were changed out! Icing on the cake was a penthouse for the bride to be. Absolutely stunning room for all us to be in together before we headed out, views from the hotel are next to none, absolutely stunning! Hotel outdoor pool was very chilly but they do have an indoor pool with a jaccuzi and a sauna also, so if you wanted to go you could! You couldn’t ask for anymore in the apartments to be honest!

Went here as part of a large group of Stags. Good points: managed to get the air con up to 32 degrees so my mate was nice and warm on the bed in the living room. You could leave the door unlocked so you could pop in and scare your mates in bed in another room. They are doing a cracking job with the painting on the outside of the building and only made noise from about 8am so when you got in at 6 you could get a good couple of hours kip. Nicely stocked shop on site so you could get another beer when you didn't really need to drink another. Location was good, just a short UBER ride away from anywhere you wanted to go. They also only took €100 off each person to hold as a deposit so when you checked in you had to go to a handily placed cashpoint in the foyer and when you checked out you had €100 to go home with. Bad point was that the pool is a bit chilly this time of year. Overall we had a great time and the hotel was nice.

Lovely hotel, very friendly staff, we had a problem with our fridge but got it sorted within an hour!! 10/10 from me. Indoor pool and jacuzzi if weather not too good, very clean and tidy and room cleaned most days, lovely views, couldn’t fault it

We are here now and we are not the type to complain or leave reviews but I’m appalled by this place, my mam got me this trip for my 21st birthday and I’m even more annoyed she spent her money on it. When we arrived the lady at reception was so rude!! Didn’t even say hello or how are you, demanded deposit which we were fine with and prepared to give, we were aware there was ongoing renovations but the painters were bat**** crazy screaming slurs at us and the place was a mess. Room was also disappointing and not deposit worthy, indoor pool absolutely stank and had to ask reception for towels 3 times before receiving them. We always stay in cheap low budget accommodation and never have a problem but I wouldn’t recommend this at all,

Let’s start off with please do also listen to the bad reviews. We ignored the less good reviews and gave the hotel a go but unfortunately for us we should have listened. On arrival we was greeted by a lady at reception seemed okay not very polite. After giving us the room key and checking us in we was straight away asked for a deposit. On the beach said €50 each between the ages of 21-35 so we was prepared for that but to then be told/demanded it was €100 each we was shocked as it says it no where on the website, we was told on our own website it says it and that on the beach haven’t updated it, I’ve looked on the website and it says nothing about any deposits. We was here for a week very chilled holiday as non party girls, the noise of the work that they are doing goes on and on untill late. Our room wasn’t cleaned, beans weren’t emptied and no fresh towels till our last day and we had to ask. Rooms are okay a lot of damages.

Don’t believe all the silly reviews! I have literally just landed home after a long weekend here with a friend! Yes I was prepared to pay a cash deposit but it wasn’t asked for on arrival! Check in says 4pm but they were ever so kind as to let us into our room at 11am! The hotel is very clean! 3 pools! 1 inside which is lovely and warm! If you like cold water dipping(like me) the outdoor ones may be better! We have a huge apartment that was stocked with every utensil you could possibly need! Full cooker microwave, kettle, toaster! The apartments are light and airy! Air con machines are great on warm or cold! Our room was cleaned with fresh towels daily! For the price we paid for our weekend away we seriously could not moan about this hotel! It’s split into 3 separate buildings! We were in number 1! And apart from check in and check out we literally didn’t see a soul! Old town is just down the road! €4.50 in a taxi and the same to the *****! Quiet this time of year but some great bars! All in all we absolutely loved our stay! Loved Albufeira! And couldn’t fault a thing about the holiday! It’s not 5 star but it’s like a home from home! Supermarket really close which sells stunning fresh produce and is really cheap with a huge selection of food! Don’t always believe the bad reviews! You aren’t paying 5* prices! Again loved our stay and would 100% stay here again!

Booked a last minute deal to these apartments. I chose them cause they had the indoor pool etc and being november i wasnt sure of weather. I was staying myself. Arrived at 11am and despite check in not being till 3 i was told i could get in in about an hour. Dumped my luggage and went for a walk and to find a shop. This is when i realised i was actualy quite a walk away from most things. Fine going down but all uphill back. Its a good ten min walk to a.shop and 15 to nearest bars etc. also about 20 mins to beach and 30 to old town so be prepared to walk or taxi it. The apartment itself was basic but clean. I just got a studio and sofas doubled as beds which were comfy enough and plenty pillows and blankets. Had a room at the back so got sun all day(when i got any). Used the indoor pool and jacuzzi a few times. Pool isnt big but does the job. There is also a gym and sauna. Bar and cafe were closed as it was out of season. Asked if i could get a late check out due to a late flight and for €20 i was allowed to keep room till 5pm which was a godsend. All in all a pleasant enough stay. Reception staff were friendly but be prepared to have nothing round about.
