Just back from a perfect few days at this accommodation. The apartment was spotless and was fully stocked with everything required for our stay. We were always able to find a bed round the pool no matter what time we arrived and the pool side bar sold all the drinks and snacks you’d expect. Reception was always manned and staff were always very helpful. Best thing for us about this accommodation was its location….just a very short (downhill) walk right to the square in the centre of town where there are lots of restaurants and bars and the beech can be found a little further. It’s only €4 back from the taxi rank if you don’t fancy the uphill walk back. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to be back soon.

We are just back from a beautiful stay here. It was our first time taking our 2 year old abroad, and so were a bit nervous about what to expect, however it was a brilliant experience for us all! All of the staff at Cerro Malpique were so friendly and helpful and they all took time to chat to our little one/give him high 5s whenever he passed them by. We opted for a 1 bedroom apartment and were delighted by how spacious it was. The staff had set up a travel cot in the bedroom for our wee one, and we slept on the sofa bed in the living room. The apartment was clean and fresh with a lovely balcony. The pool area was perfect for us and never too busy to get a lounger. The terrace beside the pool has stunning views over the sea. The location was brilliant, the steps weren't too much of a hassle and there is a way to get to the town avoiding them if you walk out past the Aldi. Cannot recommend Albufeira more and these appartments!

“Great hotel, would definitely return.”

Brilliant, budget-friendly hotel and lovely staff, especially the lady at the pool bar who has sons. We were a group of 8 girls and really enjoyed our stay, apartments were very spacious with good balconies and good facilities for cooking. Always plenty of sunbeds by the pool.

Brilliant, budget-friendly hotel and lovely staff, especially the lady at the pool bar who has sons. We were a group of 8 girls and really enjoyed our stay, apartments were very spacious with good balconies and good facilities for cooking. Always plenty of sunbeds by the pool. Many other reviews complain about the stairs up from the old town but if you are of reasonable fitness level they are no problem. Only downsides I would give is the mouldy silicone in the shower which gave a bit of a dirty feel, and would have liked bedding changed whilst we were there as being on holiday you do tend to bring a bit of sand in sometimes! I think the hotel could make a lot more money if they opened a proper pool bar with cocktails/fresh pints as currently all that's available are bottles and cans.
