Arriving after 11pm it looked incredibly dingy and deserted. After travelling all day we had looked forward to a nice drink in the hotel bar but were despondent to see we were the only ones there at 11:45. Still the bar staff were friendly enough and we did get our... more

After booking a late deal we decided to chance the Jardim based on various mixed reviews on this site and others and we were surprised at how good this place was. The complex is huge and i can understand why some people would be upset as if you were placed in an apartment... more

Having read loads of reviews of various places prior to booking I thought it fair to right a quick review. My girlfriend and I have just got back from a week in Albufeira where we stayed at Albufeira Jardim Apts. Having seen what else is about in this area I think we did... more

Hi, stayed here at the end of April, miss these apartments at your peril ! the location is excellent, near enough to the beaches and the excellent Old Town but far enough away from the noise of the Old Town to get a good nights sleep. We were in Block B1 which is right at... more

I went on this holiday when I was 19 with my family and my boyfriend and I dont know what the complaints are all about. The old town was excellent for resturants and bars. For teenagers its a perfect place to go. The studio appartment was a bit small and dark (no windows... more

Really Enjoyable
After reading all the bad reviews about this place I can honestly say that people expect far too much for the price they pay. We arrived at the hotel around midday and did have to wait for our room but there was somewhere to leave your luggage. We then ventured up towards the pool area and restaurant and like I say I was expecting the worst and was pleasantly surprised! The pool area was nice with two rather large pools, and good sunbathing facilities the mattresses were supposed to be 1.50 euros but we never paid and were never asked for... more
We got used to it!
We have just returned from a 5 day stay at these apartments. We booked a last minute on the web and were wary to say the least. We love Portugal having been regular visitors over the past few years, and this has not put us off, though I think we will find somewhere nicer next time! On arrival we were filled with gloom at the 70s style reception and grumpy male receptionist. We were taken by mini bus to a studio block at the back of the complex. Our studio was on the 3rd floor! It was horrid to say the least, dingy and gloomy and very... more
Enjoyable and relaxing holiday
We stayed at the Jardim 1 August 20th 2007 for 1 week. 2 adults three children. On arrival the reception staff were very helpful, booked in no problem, then the minibus took us up to our apartment. Was very impressed on entering after all the bad reviews we had read. Nice and clean and very spacious. two toilets one with the bathroom. Very large balcony overlooking Albufeira and all the coast gorgeous view. Cleaned every day towels changed daily and bedding twice. The maid was really nice.The pool is very spacious one downside you have to... more
You get what you pay for!!!
We recently stayed in the Albufeira Jardim, I was a bit weiry after reading some of the reviews. When we arrived our apartments were not ready so we had to hang around for a few hours, it was'nt too bad as we could leave our luggage in a room in Reception. Our rooms were very basic we had to sleep on 2 sofas.. We had no kettle so when we wanted a cuppa we had to boil water in a pot on the cooker and when we turned on the cooker on the t.v would go off.. It is true about the hill to the apartments, I have muscels in my legs like... more
Nice apartment, good location
After reading previous comments on these apartments I was very wary of staying there but as it turns out it was very pleasant. My wife and I stayed from Jan 9 to Jan 16 in a studio it was very nice and had everything we expected but were a bit dated in places. The staff were very pleasant and the services were good (cleaned and fresh towels daily). We did not try the restaraunt on site as there were many other (cheaper) places to eat. (I Reccomend 'Buddy's Bay' in the square). The apartments are ideally located very near the old town which... more
Be careful what room they land you in !
Booked through "Holiday Nights" via going on holiday.net, What a mistake! At first the guy was great, got to Portugal - placed at the back of beyond in the complex with no bedroom, studio room which is NOT what we paid for. Expected to sleep on sponge cushions for short people and no sheets ! terrible. Asked to change as reception but they wanted more money. Called the holiday company - verbally and email promises were made that they would pay the difference. Been chasing since September, still owed for the difference, be warned and don't... more
12 September - 26 September
My partner and myself stayed in these apartments for two weeks from 12th September until 26th September. After reading the various reviews before travelled, we were worried sick about what we were going to and we had no doubt in our mind that we would have to go and book somewhere else if they were as bad as people were making out, but we arrived at 12.30 in the afternoon, our room wasn't ready so we went a walk about to see the place and we liked what we saw so far, but we were still dreading entering our room, after an hour or so... more
Good value for money
We have just returned from 10 nights in Albuferia, where we stayed in the Jardim self catering apartments. The apartments are rated at three star and were very cheap to book. Although the apartments on first impression appear tired, the stay was really enjoyable. We stayed in a studio apartment, which was very spacious. The apartment was very clean and remained so throughout the stay as the maids cleaned daily, changed towels every other day and bedding twice per week. The reception was open 24 hours and the staff were really... more
absolute nightmare
Myself my wife and 14 year old daughter stayed in this accomodation from 21 August until 4 september 06. The apartment was an absolute dump no kettle or toaster out dated furniture and 2 sofa beds pushed together. The electricity supply was what you would call unreliable, when we turned the cooker on a plug socket or the water heater would go off. I have no complaints about the resort it was gorgeous but the prices of the food at the complex bar and restaurant were extortion. 4.50 euros for a bottle of beer. Also i didnt like the pool... more
would never go back here!
After five years of studying for a degree my family and I were really looking forward to a fortnight's holiday in Portugal to a place we had never been before. Flight and transfers went smoothly and on first impressions the apartments looked OK, but when we entered realised how unclean and unkempt they actually were. After moving furntiure etc to make the beds up we discovered how dirty the floor was and there was no way that I would be cooking in the kitchen area! The town really was beautiful especially the 'Old Town' but... more
