We stayed in these from 29th May till 7th June. There was myself, my son (7), my sister & my parents. There are four blocks to these, we seemed to have gotten the oldest block even though we had requested the newest Colina block. I think people need to be clear when reading the reviews as it can be confusing.... more

Did not know what to expect, but on arrival the bus climbed a hill and i thought this will be fun walking up and down to this hotel, but generally as 2 people in our mid 20's the climbing of the 106 steps from the old town and then up a 200 metre hill it was taxing to begin with... more

I have just returned from a great weeks stay at Cerro Mar and had a great time. We arrived about 11.30am and were advised that our room was not ready, this is standard practice and across Portugal you can normally expect to check in after 2pm.

I feel like I am writing about a different place as my partner and I didn't like it at the Cerro Mar at all! We were in the old apartments (we did request the new block) and they are clean enough and big but we had to go downstairs to our floor which meant it was quite dingy and the... more

The biggest negative was the steep hill and... more

I have just returned from our 2nd trip to the Cerro Mar Apts this time we stayed in the new apts of the Cerro Mar Garden and we were not disappointed. Excellent apts great facilities - one tip though if you want to use the indoor pool you need a bathing cap! If you don't want to pay £2.50 per... more

Accommodation was of same standard, very nice 2 bed apartment with large balcony, main bedroom en-suite and 2nd bathroom had shower cubicle. Maid service daily. Accommodation blocks are... more
