Janelas do Mar Aparthotel
Albufeira, Algarve

Mr I Ward, Ripon

Basic, but clean and been there so many times feels like home!

Mr B Belshaw, Newtownards

Lovely place with friendly staff. Rooms, although a bit dated, are clean enough with working fridge, toaster and microwave. Apartments are very warm at night with no air conditioning, so you'll need to hire some from reception.

Three nice pools available with a bar/cafe beside each. (They make a mean toastie with chips or a lovely cocktail if you prefer). There is a central bar and small shop at the main block.

Noise levels were at a minimum during our stay which was nice. There are tennis courts, table tennis, pool tables and mini golf as well as a small gym. It's only 5 mins drive to the strip or 10mins to the old town from the complex.

Would definitely stay again as we loved it and so did the kids.

Ms K Johnson, Oldham

Really pleased with the hotel, facilities and friendliness of staff.

Mr M Hopkins, Cramlington

Brilliant complex a good 15 minutes walk from the strip.

Miss J Martin, Glasgow

It was perfect for us, 1 adult travelling with 2 older teenagers. Our flat was clean, had a great shower and we had everything we needed. Reception and cleaning staff were all so friendly and helpful. A good base and slightly away from the busy part of Albufeira but close enough to enjoy eating out and with supermarkets nearby. The facilities at the hotel would suit most people. We used the family friendly pool and snack bar below building 3 the most, the other one with the bar would be more suited to a party of young people. We are definitely coming back here. Near enough to the beaches and old town.

Mrs L Harris, Portsmouth

Apartments overall were very good, whole place was very clean, location was ok about 20 minutes walk to main strip and only 5 euros in a taxi to old town.

Mr R Bartlett, Upper Sapey

We have stayed many times at Janelas. We have no complaints, spotlessly clean, comfortable beds. What else do you need.

Mrs J Duncalfe, Leominster

Everything was great, very clean! Jorge the barman was very friendly which is always nice.

Mrs J Taylor, Saltburn-by-the-sea

Aparthotel great but absolutely no amenities for the particular dates I was there; no heated pool, no coffee bar, few food items to purchase. Struggled to receive wi-fi. March too early to go.

Mr I Ward, Ripon

Love this hotel, been 4 times now. Always clean and tidy. Plenty to do and even though tucked away up a hill, we love the walk.

Mr M Nolan, Manchester

Great staff, clean and tidy and anything you needed the staff was always happy to help ie iron, taxi, the works.

Miss S Reid, Ballyclare

No frills aparthotel, exactly what we expected. Rooms were spacious and cleaned every 2 days with fresh towels. Pool facilities were great, had everything required to keep teenagers amused. Breakfast was basic, if you want an English breakfast you got to pay. The apart hotel is around a 15/20 minute walk to the strip. However, there's a taxi service at the hotel, it's 5e to go to the strip or old town. Would definitely go back!

Miss N Gonga, London

Rooms and hotel areas were clean. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful. Good facilities, e.g. two pools and children's pool, a few bar/food areas, games room. The only downside is that it got very hot and and air conditioning unit was not available. Air conditioning in all rooms would be a plus. I was a bit skeptical as I had read previous reviews about loud stag parties. However, the hotel is family friendly and lots of families were there when we were there.

Mrs Y Duncan, Consett

Very spacious apartments. Maid service daily and they changed the towels daily, bed linen changed weekly. We were in block 3 which was more family based. Lovely pool which was cleaned daily and the pool surround was scrubbed daily too. Small supermarket in block 1 but limited supplies and quite expensive. There is a large supermarket called Pingo Docs just a ten minute walk away. Great place to eat was IL Cappuccino where a three course meal with half litre of wine or a pint beer for 9.50 euro, a 10 minute walk away.

Mrs D Evans, Belfast

Rooms basic but clean. They have 2 outdoor swimming pools, coffee shop and supermarket. We went in April and it rained but they also have an indoor heated swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi and a gym (4 euros to use for any length of time).

Mr B Sheridan, Belfast

I was very happy with it. The pool cafe was very welcoming and Jorge was very helpful. Me and my wife would go back again.

Mr P Smyth, Kilmarnock

Janelas is good in three seasons, but has no heating in winter. I almost caught pneumonia. If you are going be prepared to buy or carry a fan heater.

Mrs D Shaw, Manchester

Mr R Bartlett, Upper Sapey

The aparthotel is ideally situated above old and new Albufeira (we always hire a car). It is a long walk to the nearest beach. The hotel (3 blocks) is well presented, smartly painted and the rooms serviced regularly and kept very clean. There are 2 outdoor swimming pools and one indoor plus a shop, cafeteria and bar entertainment area. There are a host of other facilities. The reception staff are polite, always smiling and very helpful. This is a five star location for exceptional value for money.

Mr M Phillips, Worcester

The apartment was clean, functional and pleasant with good views. The lifts were a bit slow but not a major issue. Our stay there was good.
