Me and my boyfriend have just come back from this hotel. we had a lovely time. We went self catering and found there was lots of shops near to buy food from. There was a few bars near which we tried and they seemed to be ok. The hotel was very helpful espically jackaline on reception she made us feel very special, and always had time to answer any questions we had. W didnt get chance to try the outdoor pool but the indoor pool was very nice although you have to wear a swimming hat!! wasnt impressed with that! you can buy them from the hotel. Our room was at the back of the hotel near the road which can be nosiey but wasnt a problem for us.
The walk to the beach takes about 5 mins it is down a steep hill so not good if you find this difficult.
Bus stop and taxi are next to the hotel which take you to alburfira for a small charge. I recommend going to zoo marine it was really good, you can book this through the hotel.

what a lovely place!
the staff were friendly and helpful and always welcomed you with a smile.
the maid service was brilliant. they came every day and swept, mopped, made the beds, polished and put clean towels out. our maid spent a good twenty minutes in each apartment and did a thorough job. (much better than some we've had, in and out in 2 minutes).
the aparthotel is well equipped with a snack bar, serving delicious food. a games room, great for the kids, with a bar next door, so you can keep an eye on the kids. there's an indoor pool which is open til 9 every night and is heated. we had a baby with us and this was great as the outdoor pool was too cold.
its around a ten minute walk the smaller beach. but beware, the hill is very steep. although there is an easier way to go but takes a little longer (just follow the main road down).
the bigger beach is around a 15 minute walk but again its a long way down and there's lots of steps, so its not recommended if you have walking difficulties.
there's plenty of shops and bars down by the little beach as well as two big supermarkets near the hotel.
the apartments have everything you'll need for a short stay, cooker, fridge, kettle, but no microwave.
overall, myself and my family really enjoyed our stay here and would return.

just returned from a week at oceanus, been to olhos a few times before, but first time at oceanus, the standards were very good, the staff very friendly, in a good position too, the pool area was very well maintained, it was all very clean. the best resaurant we went to was ACANTINI just to the side of oceanus the food and service was excellent, olhos is such a lovely area, a little more quieter than albufeira and the strip,but they are not too far to get to. we will definetly be booking to go to oceanus again. checked in 2/4/08

We thought the whole experience was fantastic. the weather obviously was lovely and the cost was reasonable throughout. Read several reviews before leaving which were spot on. The staff on the front desk do need a sense of humour transplant. DO NOT take a room facing the road; insist on one facing the pool as the noise from the on- going developments will spoil your sleep and karma.The town itself is very friendly with a nice mix of irish english and locals all of whom were determined to take life at the same pace- very slowly. A must visit is to two places of note. Fratellis Italian restaurant is a must visit and treat yourself to ANYTHING on the menu as it is all absolutely delicious.Believe me. Also give Fred a shout at the Top Ten bar. A dubliner who cannot do enough for his customers... friendly and very professional. Also go to the Killo Gramma behind the hotel and prepare for lovely local food at unbelievably low prices. One last point- if you go through Faro airport, bring something to eat with you as once you're through the point of no return you will feel a little disgust at the extortionate price of everything. fourteen euros for a burger meal! Enjoy!
