Not what was expected from previous reviews
Booked privately through Booking.com so apartment was not maintained by the hotel itself, so cannot comment on cleaners etc. Grounds well kept, but don’t come here if you like quiet relaxing or sleep! Place was full of stag and hen do’s. Top pool was taken over by them like a club 18 to 30 holiday. Thankfully we found the other quiter pool down the stairs. Very noisy in the early hours with all the above arriving back when the clubs shut. No local shops or bars, everything a good 20 minute walk or uber ride away.
Maintenance works needed
Location is very outside of the town. Front desk staff, the girl we always ended up dealing with was not helpful at all, there was a young guy there that deemed more willing to help that i tried to get once or twice. Food was nice and bar staff were lovely. Very little every day items in the shop. Apartment: we were in a 2 bed, decor very out dated, marks on the floor that clearly had been there for years, chips out of the tiles, the sliding door leading to the tiny balcony is ready to blow right out off the hinges. Beds are literally like rocks Overall there is alot of maintenance works that needs to be done. I am aware the place is cheaper but its still expensive enough the least one could expect is to sleep without the rattling of the door and on a comfortable bed.
Got good and bad experience at same Time;)
We did the Booking from Booking.com and this time we were really disappointed because we weren't clearly informed about the deposit we have to do in check-in. There was nothing mentioned while we did booking and we did the deposit of 400€(100€ per person) and we realised it was not mandatory for everyone.They weren't asking deposit for portugues people and some other.So should we take this as a racial discrimination? And they also wanted the deposit in cash . So how can we get prepared about the deposit if we weren't informed before clearly . They said the previous day we can have buffet breakfast for 13€ per person and when we went next morning...the guy said buffet breakfast is not for you ..if we want something we have to order something else ;) It was really rude But Rooms were clean ,And price worthy but they really neet to update about this deposit information

Good Hotel
Had a great time; the staff were lovely, the room was comfortable, and everything we needed was there. My son and I had no problems, and if I go back to Albuferia, I would stay there again without a doubt.
Just a few tips…
I stayed here with my daughters the middle of March to the start of April. We had a lovely holiday, the grounds were well maintained, we loved the indoor pool and hot tub!
It was very quiet as we were very early in the season but the lounge bar and poolside bar opened before we left and the staff couldn’t have been nicer, the breakfast was good and the on-site shop was very reasonable 😊
We used Uber eats at night and they delivered groceries daily to us too, u can get up to €15 euro off €25 in several of the grocery stores with Uber one so this was brilliant 🤩
We used bolt for taxis and we got to everywhere locally for between €3/4.
There’s a great Japanese all you can eat buffet restaurant close to the New Town that was exceptional, we went there twice and had a toddler and they couldn’t have been nicer, very welcoming and made a fuss of the baby and the food was top class 💯
Zoo marine was approx €10 each way in a bolt and we went there 2 days, the second day was only €12 each, we would have went back for a 2nd day full price it was so good!
Overall we had a lovely holiday, we didn’t have a cleaner as we booked a private apt within the hotel, we had lots of extras in our apt so l can’t speak for the rooms but the facilities were great for the price I paid.
