We have stayed at the seria de oura twice now. Being a family with two young children, we really appreciated the fact that the kitchen was fully equipped and there was a washing machine which meant I got alot of my stuff washed and dried before coming home. For the money the aprtments are fantastic. In a great location - far enough to avoid the noise from the "stip" and not to far to stroll to the old town if you prefer something more quaint. The staff are helpful and the maid service is great. There is alot of storage space in the rooms and there is an iron etc also provided.
The little bar next door is nice and friendly and very cheap!! We would definatly return again to the apartments.
The only problem with staying this side of alberfuria is the steep hill to / from the beach. No good for people with mobility problems.

Stayed here for a 3 night break,the man on reception was very helpful and gave us the remote for the heating straight away...and boy did we need it.We never saw him or anyone else on reception ever again though.The apartments have seen better days but i have to say were spotlessly clean.The bedding was a bit dated and the bed was rock hard,but plenty of seating space.We never used the kitchen apart from making a brew,but seemed to be well equipped.But the bathroom!!...there was no blind up at the window,just a pair of thin curtains and see through glass and naturally the bath/shower was under the window.The shower cracked us up laughing,it was like one of those old plastic things you used to attatch to your taps.The shower curtain was one of those old manky cloth type that sticks to your bum.The cold in there certainly didn't leave you hanging about.The heater was a real plus but was above the draughty door and only heated the sleeping area.Sorry to sound like i'm moaning cos we did have a good time all told,but if your staying here and not expecting too much then these apts will be a great base.They were a little too far out for us esp walking home at night as dark on roads but would still go back to Albufeira at the drop of a hat.Our only gripe was we never saw a cleaner apart from the 3rd night at 6pm.

just returned from our first visit to Portugal. The apartments are spotless the pool area is very clean with plenty of sunbeds, you can get nice meals at the poolbar with good friendly staff who are forever cleaning. The apartments are a short stroll to the Strip and if you turn right out of the apartments and walk for 500 metres you will find nice quieter bars and restaurants. i can honestly say that these apartments are one of the best i have stayed in and would not hesitate in staying again.A credit to Travel Republic

Upon arriving at these apartments my girlfriend and I had a little panic as the reception is not open after 7pm, so we thought we was unable to get into our room. After a few minutes of panic, and going to the bar next door we realised there was an emergency number to call on the door, but there was no area code so ring that number (The Area code is 00 351). Bruno who answered speaks very good English and was very helpful and explained where he had hidden the key.
After we got into the apartments I was very impressed they were spacious clean and very tidy. The maids were friendly and came everyday with fresh towels and sheets apart from Sundays. The pool was a good size and had a pool bar which served a good pint as well as good food which was a good price too. Sun beds were free and also provided is a comfort mat to use on top of the beds which are also free.
I would recommend these apartments to anyone who likes both sides to a holiday, if you want a nice relaxed atmosphere it’s only a 15 – 20 min walk to the old town which offers endless bars and restaurants as well as some good entertainment. The main nightlife strip is only a 5 min walk at most. This offers all the usual scene restaurants, bars and clubs which most are open till 3 or 4 in the morning and with some good offers in some.
As an overview I would definitely return to these apartments and area again. I would recommend these apartments to anyone traveling to Albuferia.

Really nice, very clean apartments. Friendly staff. Great Location 5 mins walk to supermarket. 10 minutes to the Strip, 15 minutes from beach. Festa Da Praia Restaurant nearby is fantastic with great food at good prices and the staff are lovely.

Just returned from a two week stay in these apartments, absolutely wonderful and i do not have one bad word to say about these apartments. Once we arrived we thought we were in the middle of nowhere, it is that quiet and there isnt realy much on the road, but literally a 2-5min walk is the strip bustling with restaurants, shops etc. The beach can be accessed by 2/3 nearby entrances all within a 10min walk. Old town is lovely and offers a different night out to the strip.
The apartment was cleaned everyday except sunday in our case, clean towels changed everyday and bed linen frequently. couldnt have asked for friendlier more helpful staff. i would definately recommend.
As a young couple it was perfect for us and we will be returning in the near future we hope.

Not a single complaint - the staff were fab, extremely clean and tidy and a fantastic location. Reasonably priced too.
The resort is the only place that I have ever thought I would love to actually come here again and again. There is a mix for everyone. The old town is fun and relaxed and the new town is busy and not full of young kids either.
I was on a girls holiday and never once felt unsafe.

This is by far the best accomadation you can get the staff are so friendly and helpful I would like to say a big thank you and missing you all to all the staff Marta,Bruno,cecelia,ibilio and christina. I have been here several times already and will be returning frequently as is possible it is 5 minute walk to the strip and only 10 mintes from beach.
there is also a cafe next door which you never find closed day or night great for snacks or a drink anytime of the day or night.
hope to see you all soon
