Oceanus Apartments Reviews
" what a lovely place!

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 instead).
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.

" We spent the month of February, along... "
Submitted By: Mrs J. Fraser
We spent the month of February, along with two other couples, at the Oceanus and had a very enjoyable holiday. We found the one bedroom apartments quite comfortable, although they could use a bit of updating. A microwave oven and coffeemaker would be useful. Maid service was excellent , very clean, and front desk staff very helpful and friendly.
The location is excellent, quiet at night. Having the bus stop close by made it very easy to get around. Grocery stores a short walk away made it convenient for self catering. Some better programming on the English language TV channels would be good. The BBC kept repeating the same old news. We found the restaurants in the area satisfactory, it being the off season.
I would recommend the Oceanus for an affordable, relaxing, long stay destination and hope to return for another visit. We booked our holiday with JM Vacations from Toronto.

" Second visit to this spotless well... "
Submitted By: Mr KJ Edmonds
Second visit to this spotless well maintained and located hotel extremely welcoming and friendly reception staff .the bar downstairs is a pleasure after a long day in the sun and run by the very friendly Hannibal.
The snack bar has an excellent snack menu and nothing is too much trouble, they also do take away food to take to your room. Lovely pool and pool area. The rooms are a good size and kept very clean and the lady cleaning our room always had a big smile for us.
Only a few minutes walk down a steep hill to the beach with a good selection of restaurants. A visit or two or three to taverna Forje across from the beach and run by the very friendly Leo is a must it’s a small and intimate bar with a brilliant atmosphere.
Everyone at Oceanus take a bow and we'll see you this year.

" We’ve been fortunate enough to have... "
Submitted By: Mr Paul Green
We’ve been fortunate enough to have stayed at Oceanus about 11 times since 1998, (it was about a year old then) the weather is always quite unpredictable when we visit which is usually either may / June, sometimes both.
the staff are friendly and efficient, Jacqueline and Paula on reception are a pleasure and Armindo and his wife at the pool bar are superb hosts for those that just want to be fed and watered thru the day from breakfast through to afternoon tea, Hannibal will knock up a cocktail of your choice as a nightcap at the cool calm bar in the lower ground floor before retiring to the well maintained apartment.
A few more sky TV channels would be welcomed though. You cant knock it for value..

The staff always have a smile for you and our room was cleaned daily - the location of the apartments was perfect for us; far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the Albufeira nightlife! But a short bus-ride to the waterpark etc...
Many of the people we met on holiday have been visiting the same place for a number of years and wouldn't consider going anywhere else... the fact that the children met lots of new friends who they are still in contact with via MSN etc... we have booked to go back this year and the kids are looking forward to meeting up with their friends again...
Advice: The Oceanus apartments are situated in Olhos de Agua, a couple of kilometers outside Albufeira;
Activities: La Cigalle restaurant; exquisite seafood...wonderful service a great place to watch the sun go down.
Good for: Beach
