Auramar Beach Resort

I stayed in the Auramar hotel for two days at the end of a longer trip to the Algarve as we were meeting up with my partners family. Firstly, believe the other reviews... this hotel is terrible, it is the worst place I have ever stayed in my life. I don't understand who this hotel is aimed at. It was built in the 70's and has not seen any upgrade's since. It is on the wrong side of the beach for Hen's and Stags that want to go to the strip in Old Town and it is as far from relaxing as you can get for couples and families. The decor is what you would expect to find on an early 90's budget family holiday, from the rows of plastic green chairs in reception where guests hang out because its the only place to get wifi in the hotel, to the tacky 'entertainment' area's.. the only thing really missing is the 35 year old in a red jacked by the pool trying to initiate booze filled games. There's a 10 euro cash deposit that must be given to secure your one and only key fob to your bedroom, as you walk towards your room down the hospital like corridors you are met with the bathroom sounds of the residents as the only front window is from the hotel room toilets... The flat screen TV they boast has 18 channels but it wont keep the kids entertained as the only one in English is Sky News. The included breakfast is worse than the re-heated pizza you had in your student flat that will lead you one way or another to bathroom to get it out of your system... Bottom line - Don't stay here

It was a one night stay. Staff were very nice and beds very comfortable but this is an old hotel. We got very little sleep as to shut the door you had to bang it and all night long all I heard was doors banging. Pillows were also terrible. Breakfast was good and it’s close to the beach

No dancing bar as advertised due to renovations, which meant we couldn’t get a seat inside to watch the entertainment as it was too full. No drinks available between 10-11, then drinks were only available down the many many many stairs by the pool. No entertainment board by pool, entertainment frequently didn’t start on time. Friendly reps, not so friendly reception staff. Great games available. Pool good but mostly a deep pool, not much shallow end for Non swimmers or hand rails round sides of pool. Food lower than average for an all inclusive (and we don’t expect much). Great free shuttle bus to albufeira and amazing location

HORRIBLE HOTEL- NO SERVICE. Staff refuses to help with WiFi issues. Food is bad. We paid for all inclusive but there was a charge for drinks in lobby bar. WiFi only works in lobby. Computer center totally out of service. Maid refused to give more than 2 towels per room per day. No pool/beach towels

Trash- stay away. It’s like staying at a hostel with a view!

Beautiful place amazing Diet Pepsi Thank you Portugal to the next time ❤️

Very good service Alex is pool bar amazing

Large spacious environment, with access to the beach. Facilities were available including transport into town. Staff were helpful and welcoming. However, there was the feeling that the property could do with a bit of an update.

We have visited this property before so knew what to expect. There's everything you need here. We go here because there's a great little beach hidden down a little lane with the best beach bar and food we've found. This holiday was for myself and my partner and her daughter and her 4 year old son. It was our daughters 30th birthday gift from us to her. I always check the reviews before I go anywhere. The reviews are not great but as I said its clean and 3 star you get what you pay for. A few weeks before we went to this property I checked the reviews and it a lot of people were talking about food poisoning. I really brushed it off. I'm not daft I know most places suffer from a bout of this at some time, my thoughts were that at least they would have cleaned up their act before we arrived. How wrong I was. We had fish one evening and all three of us was poorly all night and the next day. My partner visited reception to see if they could help. She was told to call a doctor. Not very helpful they didn't even want a room number to keep tabs on who had been ill. So we spent the whole night awake suffering and listening to half of the hotel being sick. Needless to say we never eat in the hotel again. So sorry but not a very good experience this time. Expedia need to think very carefully about recommending this place to their clients in future.
