Beautiful area to stay in, 10 minute walk to the lively old town, you must try the Portuguese piri piri chicken;
The marina is more upmarket and people are very friendly, apartment is better than it looks. The old town is great and you are spoilt for choice for shops food and drinks,

We stayed 6 nights in March 2016.
We booked transfers through the letting agent who took us up to the apartment and showed us around and left us with the key. For £5 more than a standard taxi transfer it made things so much simpler. The apartment was as nice if not better than the photos, very well equipped and we had a lovely view over the pool and the marina. The weather was warm in the day but extremely chilly at night. We found a local supermarket that stocked everything we needed but we ate out most days and just used the kitchen for breakfast.
It was a 20 minute scenic walk to Albufeira Old Town where there are an abundance of bars, restaurants and shops. We couldn't fault the apartment, the letting agent, the communication with the owner and Holiday Lettings, it all went incredibly smoothly and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend using them.
The kitchen has everything you need, the shower was excellent and the bed was comfy and the bedroom window was fitted with an electric shutter which helped as full sun hits the room at about 6am. Mornings on the balcony, in the sunshine, eating breakfast and watching the boats were wonderful.
We recommend trying Sharkys Bar which is on marina not far from the apartment. Very clean and modern, a superb welcoming owner, great selection of drinks and snacks and a classy little establishment.
One thing we would mention is the noise from surrounding apartments is very audible. It wasn't busy while we were there and we only had one neighbour but I could imagine if it were busier it could be annoying as the sound proofing is poor. However if it's just your base for breakfast and sleep it's not really an issue and the facilities and standard of accommodation is first class. Also the front door lock to the apartment is tricky, practice, practice, practice or you could struggle. There is a nack.
Would we go again? Absolutely. Thankyou for a wonderful stay.
