Stella Maris Hotel Apartamento - Albufeira

9.6

The hotel was beautiful and spacious. They have all the requirments as a hotel with the exception of a gift shop, no problem. The pool area was clean. 10 minutes away was the beach which is breathtaking. If you want to have dinner outside of the Hotel, plenty of restuarants 5 minutes from the Hotel. The area is safe. This catered to all types of people, family with or without kids. A great getway place. Price was very reasonable and definetly recommend this to anyone.

Really large apartments. We stayed in a studio but it was more like a 1-bed apartment with a large balcony, our room overlooked the back of the hotel (not the pool), which we loved as it was very private and picturesque, although lost the sun in the late afternoon. We didn't mind as we went on the pool loungers then. Only 5 or so minutes walk to the beach and 10 min taxi from Albufeira - perfect for a relaxing and chilled out time, or quality time with partner, probably not ideal for single party-goers, but perfect for everyone else :-) Able to do huge walks along the beach if you like that kind of thing!

This was our first visit to Albufeira & we will be back next year & plan to stay at the same hotel. Staff were very friendly & helpful. Hotel was spotless. Lovely beach 5 mins walk away, you can walk to Vilamora along the beach in 1 hour. Old Town Albufeira is a tenner taxi ride away. Plenty of small bars & resturaunts close by too. Stella Maris is excellent value for money for a low season break. Can't wait to get back there.

Very good quality and cleanliness, the situation is good, near the sea and very calm. I will come again, no doubt.

I can't say enough good things about this hotel. Considering the price (not too expensive) I wasn't expecting too much but found the standard of rooms and facilities to be excellent. It couldn't be cleaner and the apartment was perfect for two, the kitchen was also much better than expected. The pool area is also very nice. It is away from the main tourist-y area of Albufeira, which I was glad about. I would recommend hiring a car when staying here. There is a supermarket just up the road (tourist prices) and a nice square with a few restaurants and shops.

We are cyclists. We cycled from Lisbon to Faro and stayed at The Stella Maris 4 nights. We had a wonderful time there and found all the staff so helpful. We will hopefully be going back, Thankyou Keith and Mary chilvers

I absolutely loved this hotel, the best I have ever stayed at. Me and three friends stayed for a week and I would definately recommend it. The hotel staff organised a transfer for us from Faro airport to the hotel and as soon as we reached the hotel there was no disappointment. The staff were very friendly and welcoming & did all they could to make sure we enjoyed our stay. The cleaners came everyday to clean the rooms but did not have to if you didn't want them to. The beach is literally a 5-7mins walk away, there are resturants are mere 2mins walk away & so is the local supermarket. The hotel restuarant food and staff was really good & the pools were very nice. The hotel arranged a taxi service every night we went to the Strip (the local hot spot for bars, clubs and restuarants) which cost less than 10euros. The whole experience was brilliant. Whether you are a couple, a family or just a group of friends, all ages will enjoy, I certainly did. Thank you Stella Maris. X

Situado en una zona tranquila ideal para desconectar y descansar, apartado del bullicio, y a tan solo a unos 600 metros de la espectacular playa de falesia.

More sunbeds and umbrellas needed around the pool, or on individual balconies. The Reception staff had trouble booking taxis in the early evening - although to be fair they kept trying until one was available!! The web description of the hotel is very accurate. Very good value for money

Really good spacious apartment. Need a car because it is located a distance from town but a few restaurants down the road- great value for money.

Good Hotel: clean, friendly, spacious, cheap, well equipped, nice staff and new facilities. The cons a bit far from the beach, a swimming pool that should have more sun and uninteresting surroundings. It can also be hard to find to those that don't know the area well.
