Cerro Da Marina Hotel

Great small hotel. I have no idea why it is classed as a 3 star rather then 4 star. Lovely pool and sunbathing area set in grass, jacuzzi, pet friendly. Set in an upmarket residential area. If you stay do book their dinners as they have a superb lady chef.

A little bit far out for access to the beach ⛱️ and main central area of Albufeira but that wasn't necessarily a bad thing as the pool was so inviting and the centre of Albufeira is in my opinion a bit tacky.

This is the most relaxing place! The whole vibe is chilled. For Albufeira in the height of summer it was quiet, despite being fully occupied and there are always ample sun loungers available...there is no need to reserve or fight over them! The honesty bar is a great concept and provides everything you need. We had stayed previously in the heart of the old town and it was so noisy until the early hours of the morning. Here you're a short walk away but without any of the negatives. The room and bathroom were extra large which was treat after a series of tiny bathroom hotels we stayed in.

Nothing for us. For some the uphill walk back from the old town would be a challenge. But, it is very easy to hail an Uber at a cost of generally under 4 Euros.

Exceptionally clean hotel. We got a free upgrade on the room, which was a really good size. Peaceful inside and out, including the pool area. Very friendly, helpful staff. An honesty bar with snacks and drinks, which was great out of hours or round the pool. The hotel has a trusting atmosphere for it's guests which makes you feel welcome. We would stay here again :-)

Slightly further out of town than we expected and as it was so hot when we stayed there, a bit too far to walk to the main areas on this occasion (not when it's slightly cooler).....however, taxis are cheap (5/6€ to town) and are in abundance so little waiting and cheap to get around. We definitely would stay at the hotel again :-)

Breakfast with good options Staffs are friendly and helpful. They were always available to help us with anything. Special tks for the kitchen which always so friendly and the spa lady which made my days at the hotel so special. Free parking Location is at the top of a hill but very close to the marine and town. Taxi are very easy and cheap in case you need it. We stayed at the apartment, which was great. it had a fully equipped kitchen and was in front to a swimming pool. The room was big with air conditioning and bed very comfy.

Nothing, definitely coming back to this place.

I booked this hotel last minute when I was traveling around in the South of Portugal as an adult female alone. I wasn't sure if I wanted to stay in Albufeira knowing it's one of the big party towns - I wasn't sure I had the energy for it. But it was great. I liked this place because it felt Portuguese, it had charm - and was relaxed and fun. I think they did a wonderful job of everything. I had a nice parking spot that was safe, a nice greeter, my room was close and easy to get to, they had nice pools and breakfast, and a great honor bar with drinks and sandwiches, etc. I would totally come back here again. I liked it very much overall and felt it was a nice value and felt like good vibes.

The bed was a little bit hard - and could use an upgrade eventually. Maybe upgrade the mattresses and linens when you do the rooms again. Also, my AC wasn't working right - but I was there just one night so didn't make a fuss. There was a nice balcony and sea breeze so it was fine.

The staff were wonderful from reception through to restaurant employees. I had to prepare some work documents and the reception staff helped with printing and computer access which is available on site for free. I even stayed well beyond my checkout time to complete the work with no issues/complaints from the staff. I also had a wonderful massage and facial with Paula which went well over time. Highly recommend this hotel!

There was nothing I didn’t like but I would point out that it’s not a modern hotel… definitely very colourful… very Portuguese which I loved. Staff and clientele all lovely. So relaxing and quiet.

The Hotel is a small hotel that operates as a bed and breakfast and doesn't have a typical bar and restaurant. If Guests require dinner, it can be ordered before 2pm and it is served that night. What it does have is a really great "Honesty bar". This is open 24hrs per day. You go to the bar and serve yourself drinks and snacks and write down what you take. This is then billed at the end of your stay. This was brilliant for us because our flight arrived late at night. The walk down to the Old Town square takes approx 12 minutes and a Taxi back at night costs only €6.60. Overall, it's a great place, that we hope to go back to in the future.

The uphill walk back from the Marina or the Old Town, but a €6 taxi solved that problem

I love this hotel! it’s like a quiet, calm, clean oasis. the personnel is lovely, they do their utmost to make your stay enjoyable. I even got to check in early and had a room upgrade which made my whole stay. The breakfast buffet has everything you can ask for. I will most definitely return if I ever come back to Albufeira.

The hotel is on the top of a hill so if you don’t have a car or enjoy the extra exercise (which I do) maybe you should consider another hotel.

We got a fantastic deal as we stayed during the off season, and altogether it was very worth it. Staff were very welcoming to us and our little dog, Room had a beautiful view of the pool and ocean - absolutely stunning to watch the sunset. Breakfast was simple but yummy- I loved the fresh pastries and seasonal fruits! As it was quiet, the bar was a self-service honesty based system which I actually liked. It gave the whole experience a homely, BnB feel and we loved it!

It is of course our fault for visiting in the winter/spring, however as the weather was sunny, it could have been nice if the jacuzzi was just a few degrees hotter. It was slightly too cold to enjoy. Another thing to be aware of is that this hotel is not in the centre of Albufeira, it's about a 5-10 minute walk away. It was perfect for us as we enjoy to walk but something to bear in mind for those who are a bit less mobile.

This place is like a dream. It is located in a complex of villas and when the sun set sky becomes flashy pink and you can see it from the facility. The cleanliness is impeccable and it is just the type of place that is unbelievably beautiful. You might find places that are cheaper but this is actually the cheapest for the quality it offers. The bed was king size sparkling clean bedding towels crystal while. Waste no time to look further this is it!
