Auramar Beach Resort

British - Under 40 - Family of 3, with a 6 month old - All Incusive - 7 night stay The staff were amazing and the views were spectacular from every inch of the property. A walk along the beach into the old town is highly recommended and the beach is a stone's throw away. The seafront is quite cliffy in spots which is the only reason this isn't considered an on the beach property. The walk to the beach from the breakfast hall takes 2mins and 15 sevonds, I timed it. We went off season so kids faculties were closed but 4 pools, 3 of which are outdoor, 1 of which is the children's and one heated indoor pool, a spa and table games room, on site shop, tennis courts, ping pong table pool table, entertainment staff and free shuttle buses into old town, there was still loads to do to fill up our week. Food was highly seasoned, looked ok, but tasted great! Such a variety. And I can safely say they don't scrimp on the ingredients either. I've never been to an all inclusive resort at this price which served duck and lamb, well cooked at that. Not just full of Brits abroad either. A Lot of Spanish families on holiday and an eclectic mix of couples from around the world. The reps keep a smile on your face even when the weather's not too great. The pressure and temperature of the showers was 10/10. The property is not very modern but has been modernized where it matters. Connect to the WiFi once and you have it on the entire property, which is massive. Honestly, the pictures don't do it justice. I thought the driver had the wrong hotel when I pulled up for how much I paid!!! All in all would highly recommend this resort as a value for money get away. The only one thing I can complain about was that the accessibility for prams or wheelchair users was not great. There are so many stairs on the property. BUT it's easily remedied if you ask to be put in Block C.

Have to say read some not so good reviews online after making the booking and was 50/50 on what the hotel is actually like but I have to say from the moment we arrived we had an amazing time...the staff were so nice and even had a snack bag for us as we were late and missed the food on arrival...Insirdo at reception was very helpful and made us feel very welcome from the start. Facilities were not 5 star but who cares you get what you pay for and the stunning views and location make up for anything lacking. The pool buffet and all the entertainment was top class and the staff really do give it there all to make you feel relaxed. Would recomend to anyone to try this spot out and go all inclusive if you can...big thanks to Fatima paola insirdo and all the staff ...will be back as soon as possible for sure!

We had a great holiday in a lovely hotel. The food in the restaurant was extremely good and varied although not as impressive in the pool bar, very samey. The room was large, comfortable and it was kept very clean. The entertainment was hit and miss, when it was good it was excellent but some nights it was lacklustre. All in all the good greatly outweighed the bad.

We got a great last-minute deal on this hotel and loved the location! We enjoyed having access to both the beach and the pool. We opted for the "Breakfast Included" option and, unless that is the same price as the not included option, I would skip it and go breakfast elsewhere. Our room was fine/clean... we weren't expecting anything fancy given the great deal we got. We would come back here if we found ourselves in Albufeira again.

The view, short walk to the beach and coastline cliff walks. Breakfast had good variety and more than enough in quantity. Size of rooms was good. We got a kettle to make tea in the room.
