Don’t stay here
First room was not suitable, asked for alternate room and it was worse than the first. Apartment had a musty smell, air con barley worked, had mold in the bathroom, bathroom wasn’t clean, coffee maker didn’t work and we were expected to pay for coffee while waiting for a different machine. Fan over stove was filthy. Checked out a day earlier. The only positive was the location to the beach.

Stayed here before and the location is perfect for us, quiet, although a short walk to local supermarkets, restaurants and the beach etc. Apartment is spacious and well equipped. Kitchen area has all you need to prepare meals. Only negative is that the wifi is intermittent and TV channels are not in English..

This property had everything we needed for a great stay for a few days. Situated and two minute walk to the beach, and five-ten minute easy walk to restaurants. The rooms are definitely a little dated, but they have everything you will need, kitchen, fridge freezer, washing machine, tv etc. We loved that we could walk to the beach for a bit and then come back to the peace and quiet of the pool. We were there in the middle of the peak summer season and for a fair bit of the day, we were the only ones by the pool, which meant a pool lounge and palm tree for each of us! Reception were friendly and helpful, and booked us an airport transfer for our final day which turned up on time. It was €35 for two adults, two kids to the airport. We would happily stay here again as the beaches and beach restaurants are very family friendly.

Review of Clube Maria Luisa
The apartments are spacious however the furniture and fittings are very dated and need upgrading. It is very close to the beach and 10 or 15 minutes from restaurants and shops. The main issue with our holiday was the poor customer service from EXPEDIA. We had booked 2 apartments for 7 nights which was confirmed by e-mail in June 2015. On Monday 10 August 2015, 3 days before we were due to travel, Expedia sent an e-mail saying that the apartment reserved for my daughters could not be honoured and that they would have to stay in a hotel, 5 miles away, for 2 nights. When I phoned Expedia to find out why I was told neither apartment could be honoured and that all 4 of us would have to stay in the hotel 5 miles away for 2 nights. This was unacceptable as we had family members staying at Clube Maria Luisa. Despite spending over 2 hours on the phone to Expedia in the US at my expense, this could not be resolved. When we arrived at the hotel in Portugal they informed us that they had no reservation for us. They phoned Clube Maria Luisa and were informed that the apartments were now available for the 7 nights. When I spoke to the manager at Clube Maria Luisa to find out how this had happened I was informed that Club Maria Luisa had sent an e-mail to Expedia on Monday 10 August 2015 confirming that both apartments were now available for the 7 nights. I never received confirmation from Expedia of this e-mail. I spent over 2 hours on 2 separate phone calls to Expedia on Monday 10 August

Great place, fab beach, amazing people
The apart-hotel is great, cosy and quiet. It is close to the beach, 10 min walk from the shops and a bit outside Albufeira city centre. The staff is great and Ricardo recommended the best places to eat. We will go back!

Showing its age...but helped by staff.
Clube Marie Luisa is sadly showing its age. The decor and amenities reflect its 20+ years with no apparent modernisation. No Aircon in the rooms and curiously no available plugs in the tired tiny kitchen. Our toilet and washing machine failed and the fridge was more like another cupboard...such was its strength in chilling! All that said, the staff could not have been more helpful or pleasant. The rooms are cleaned very regularly. The area is quiet, with little or no passing traffic. Close to a busy beach...though not an easy access.

Home for a while
It was about 20minutes walk to the super markets and the village of Vilamoura . Although transport was available I liked the walk. The locals an the staff were very friendly which was a bonus. You can get a bus to Faro for about €3 which was a pleasant trip.

Great base.
Not really a hotel, but a great base to travel from and return and relax just the same. It is a shame there is no longer a bar or restaurant. There are plenty of places close by but it was nice in the past to come back from a long drive and have a beer before getting changed for the evening.

EXCELLENT PRIVATE HOTEL LOVELY GARDENS AND NEAREST TO BEACH I HAVE SEEN
Lovely private hotel never crowded well kept gardens, right on the beach via the stone steps and the beach is the prettiest in the area after exploring surrounding beaches. Staff exceptional although only there 9-6, but will help you with anything you need. Really spacious - room number 7, view over pool lounge with dining area, full kitchen even has a washing machine small hallway and large bathroom. Twin beds which can be put together for a double, and sofa bed in lounge. Lots of storage space and safe. Two pools just big enough and very clean. Housekeeping great - towels changed beds made floors swept. Only went self catering as a solo traveller and never felt intimidated in hotel or town even on the strip where bars and clubs were. The hotel is so quiet and hidden away from people making their way to beach. Don't normally go to a place twice but would definitely be going there again. Rooms styled in traditional way do not expect contemporary plush 5 star, but that's what made it so nice you knew you were in Portugal, some 5 star rooms are all the same and you could be in the UK (except for weather) very quaint accommodation. All in all a great time had, relaxing and friendly polite staff. Nothing going on here as in entertainment or restaurant but plenty of choices within walking distance. Not really for children

An ok hotel if you're on a budget
We had some problems with the check-in (waited almost 5 hours to get our room), and the staff didn't really give us any info about local attractions (maybe because we were there out of season?), but overall it was ok, staff friendly. The room was a bit dirty and needed refurbishment, but consisted of a living room, bedroom, separate, fully-equipped kitchen (kettle, microwave, washing machine, dishes, cutlery etc.) and bathroom - plus a spacious balcony. There was a heater in the bedroom, which was good, because it got cold at night (we travelled to Algrave in November). We had room service almost every day, there was a medium-sized swimming pool, and pool table at the bar - unfortunately, at the time they only served hot drinks - again, because it was out of season. It's a good hotel for those who are on a budget - don't expect many luxuries. It had one huge advantage: its location. Loads of stairs to the beach, but if you're fairly fit, it's three minutes walk, and the beach is lovely. We'd recommend the walk on the beach - when you get down the stairs, turn left, and you get rewarded with some beautiful views, soft sand and grottos. Alternatively, walk on the cliffs - it's breath-taking. The hotel is also near to the supermarkets, bars, restaurants and about 40 minutes walk to Albufeira, which is worth visiting. The hotel surroundings, however, are very quiet, which was great. Our room was facing the car park, but we still got a bit of a seaview from the balcony.

Would go back again
Good location, right next to the beach and a nice area to stay in. Not far from the main restaurants and bars. Would recommend to hire a car and see places around the algarve. The hotel was very nice. It is basic and all you need really. It is quite and a pleasant place to stay. Might need to bring your own towels and a little kettle though. More suited to couples and those who want a quite and relaxing holiday.

This hotel deserves more than its 2 star rating. Lovely and quiet. Close to the beach. Very friendly staff who were great with our two boys, age 6 and 8. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel.

Lovely apartments
These apartments have great amenities for their 2 star rating. Especially nice because the kitchen and dining area area are in seperate rooms from your bedroom which I haven't found in other 2 star apartments. Great location near the beach, restaurants and shops and area is quiet and peaceful. A very relaxing holiday. Take a kettle though as they do not provide one and boling water on the hob was time consuming!

Fint läge nära stranden och fint litet poolområde. Bra lägenhet men den saknade tvättmaskin - enligt information vid bokning skulle det finnas. Enligt information vid bokning skulle det även finnas restaurang på hotellet men det gjorde det inte. Vi rekommenderar inte frukosten. Dålig och otrevlig service i receptionen.

C'était une belle place pas chère !
Bon apart-hôtel, vieillot mais avec de bons équipements. Bien situé et tranquille. J'ai passé 12 nuits là-bas et ce fut tres bien. Mais, étant donné que l'endroit fermait en décembre et janvier pour de très grandes rénovations, les 7 dernières journées furent moins intéressantes car les ouvriers travaillaient tout autour de mon apart-hôtel. Donc, bruit excessif pas endurable. J'espère que les rénovations seront profitables car on demolit tout l'intérieur.
