This hotel was reasonable for a 3 star. Rooms were spacious and clean although were a bit tired and could do with a refurbishment. Meals were ok, not a lot of choice but what was available was fine. Drinks in bar were ok (local drinks as all inclusive) but served in small glasses which meant a constant queue at the... more

My husband and I visited in late February 2010, fearful of the reviews but are happy with the hotel and consider it value for money. We chose 1/2 board, and found the food to be basic, plentiful and aimed at the European traveller. Only disappointment was the smell of the lobby, which was at times overpowering. We stayed in Block... more

After booking through Sun4U online, all seemed to be going like okay until we got to the hotel. I can not fault the BA flights or the private taxi transfers, but the hotel was a different story entirely! Firstly the smell in the reception area was unbearable, rooms noisy and food terrible. We made the mistake of booking all inclusive,... more

This hotel is also listed in Trip Advisor as Aparthotel Auramar - it's the same place! We stayed here on an all inclusive basis for a week in February 2010, during a week of dreadful weather. We booked through Flightline Holidays. This large hotel is situated on a bit of a cliff headland with splendid views to old Albufeira to... more

Yes it is old fashioned not the ritz and the reception has an interesting smell but the rooms can be very cheap (we paid around £20 per night B and B in February). For what you get (roomy, heated and aircom, bath and shower, comfortable bed, fridge and quiet nights sleep) for staff (always friendly) position (right on the beach,... more

My wife & I have recently returned from possibly the worst hotel we have stayed at in recent years, and I stay in an awful lot of holiday hotels with my work. To be brief, the reception/bar area was very smelly (we saw the cleaners wiping the carpeted area of the bar with dirty mops). The rooms were adequate but... more

A few poor reviews for Auramar , i will make it breif and simple.

Friendly staff .And for the price we... more
