Hotel Aquamarina Beach Club

The beach could be reached after about 5 - 10 minutes walk, beach chairs and umbrellas were included. The beach is fantastically located and at low tide, you could also very far into the sea. At high tide significantly increases the sea level and there are also time high waves, so there was also for our children (11,12) it was difficult, to go into the sea. A bus ride into Albufeira (including) and to the airport about 30 minutes. As the hotel, as described in the catalog, outside there is no shopping possibilities except for two small supermarkets. Disco is available, but we didn't use it.

The rooms were always cleaned well. For guests who didn't speak English, is the communication with staff (also front desk) is difficult. What was really annoying was that to one bartender at the pool of the Aquamarina always the room card for drinks, although all guests wore a bracelet for all inclusive. Complaints about unoperable safe, lighting, etc. were handled immediately. Pool (beach)-towels could for 5 € for the whole stay and rented then be changed daily (deposit €20 ). Bus service is very bad times and is also very crowded, so not all guests to work commitments.

The main restaurant with An exploration kitchen and the only restaurant where you don't feel like going out at the pool bar drinks had to get. The food was good, but are Spanish four-star hotels much better. The other two restaurants offered the same food with little variation (pizza, pasta and grilled fish and schnitzel). The tables were in all restaurants during meals, partly even though it was empty, not cleared.

The sports and entertainment offer we didn't use. This always found at the pool of the Adriana, which we on the restlessness (very loud music and a lot of other guests) didn't use it. The pool of the Aquamaina is smaller but perfectly adequate. Despite the heat the water was always refreshingly cool.

Family rooms are quite small for four people. For the fourth person there was only an extra bed. The regular bedding was way too hard and quite uncomfortable. That said, the rooms were clean and functional. The safe deposit box costs €2.50 per day is expensive. linen took place regularly, whereas the towels were sometimes only after 17 hours. Small refrigerator is available.
