Lovely hotel right in the old town. Stunning views and lovely comfortable rooms. The pool area was also very nice with a bar and restaurant.
Beware, it's on a very very long steep hill so expect to be out of breathe if you fancy walking back after a few beers :-)

Really good location less than 10 mins walk from the old town, only downside is the walk back is up over 100 steps followed by a steep incline so need to be fit to get back to your room.

Just as in the name of this hotel, it is located on a hill by the sea. So be prepared to walk uphill. However, the hotel has good size rooms / apartments. very clean, full of all kinds of utilities like full kitchen, washing machine, oven, dishwasher, pots and pans. Great for anyone wants a longer stay but good value.

If you rent a car, there are a few local fish markets nearby within 30 minutes' drive.

Sun and beaches just five minutes walking away. Lively restaurants and busy markets on the way. This is a perfect location for us.

Nice big property . Was hard to find once checking in as was not properly explained.
Everything you could think of was inside property .
Note make sure you keep doors closed as was swarmed by fly in every room and had to call for someone to come out .

The outdoor pool area was nice and the location was good. The housekeeping ladies were also very friendly and attentive.
However, there were a few disappointing points. The spa closes at 7pm, which feels quite early. The room we received wasn’t great, and although the apartment had a kitchen, it wasn’t very well equipped. I also found the reception staff less welcoming than expected, and the luggage room didn’t feel very secure.
Overall, an okay stay but there’s definitely room for improvement.

The grounds were lovely. Pools well kept. Nice location away from the bustle of old town. Shuttle during the day into and out of old town is nice as the steps getting down and up get tiring. We honestly didn’t mind though. Great way to work off some tarts!

We stayed in the Cerro Mar Atlantico building. Our booking through Expedia said 4 twin beds and 2 pull outs. The units actually have 2 twin beds, 1 double and 1 pull out. The beds were so hard that my mom and sister actually bruised their hips over the course of the week. You could feel the springs through the mattress. The kitchen was clean and had cups, dishes and cutlery but that was it! No extras!! No coffee filters, dish scrub, dishes soap, dishwasher pucks etc. we had to buy absolutely everything. The daily cleaning was always interesting. I don’t think any actual cleaning happened and beds were not made. I think they just left fresh towels on the bed and took the dirty ones. Sometimes they would leave 1 towel and we would be short, and sometimes they would leave 2. In one of the bathrooms the motion lights turn off constantly which is dangerous when showering. In the other bathroom they wouldn’t go out for half the night. The bathroom door was ridiculously loud and would wake everyone with each bathroom visit. All this to say, the units themselves are dated and need some TLC and the daily service is really just fresh towels. We had a great time despite. It just wasn’t what we expected :)

The Cerro Mar Garden is a beautiful apartment hotel offering the independence of an apartment with the amenities of a resort/spa. The view is breathtaking, the apartments large and spacious with large beautiful terraces overlooking the Ocean and the pool. Great place for morning coffee and gatherings with friends. It is away from the party atmosphere of the centre town but close enough walk to the town and beach. Staff very friendly. The pool and the spa are amazing. I had 2 massages with Rachel, professional and extremely healing and helpful. I like that the scanda spa with the cold plunge, steam room and sauna are included. The restaurant buffet is delicious and a great variety. They kept the kitchen open for us as we arrived late, very accommodating. I wish that the daily housekeeping also included change of sheets after a number of days as we were there 12 and sheets were never changed. I would stay there again and highly recommend this property.

Lovely hotel in the perfect location for a few days break. Close enough to the Old town but far away enough not to hear any noise during late nights. We hired a car and there was free parking all around the hotel. It was my birthday whilst we were there and the hotel left a bottle of prosecco and a card in the room although we didn’t tell them.

Beautiful apartment with awesome view of the pool and ocean. We were blessed to be there for six days.
The only thing to watch is the scent. They pump scent into the building, especially in the lobby and public places, but until I asked about it, it was also coming in our apartment. It’s strong for anyone with sensitivity to this.

This was our third visit to the Cerro Mar Gardens. We stayed there in April 2024, February 2025, and February/March 2026. The apartments are comfortable, but not luxurious, and definitely suitable for families. The kitchens are well equipped for light cooking over extended stays and include an induction top stove, a good size oven, a reasonable refrigerato, a dishwasher, toaster, drip coffee maker, and a washing machine. There's a large outdoor pool, an large indoor pool, a gym, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, and cold tub. Plus a restaurant and bar.

They gave us keys to a room to look at but when we entered the room, guests were still in them. The poor guest just came out of the shower but she still showed us her room. No apologies from the front desk. Not very pleasant.

Our cleaning staff was quite efficient, checking with us daily. The walk into the jungle, (old town) was energetic. Once you arrive at town, it is packed with bars, restaurants, loud people, more bars, competing music venues and more bars. The Jungle

Went and told management but they didn't want to know. Lift also reported broken on second day of arrival at the Atlantico block 3 and wasn't fixed until the day 6 of the holiday. Ironing boards in the apartment but no irons. Only good thing anything hotel was the location to the old town but it's a steep climb back up walking back to the hotel.

Room was supposed to have one king and two twins but instead it had two twins pushed together and a hard plastic couch with a trundle, both of which were very uncomfortable even though we had more bedding delivered. Rooms were bare and dated. Had all of the basic needs. Beautiful views. Last shuttles to old town were 5:30 so if you are going to dinner, steep walk there and back. Town itself was very charming and lovely.

Great large apartment with good air conditioning which we needed as we stayed during a heat wave. The walk to and from the old town is not recommended for those who struggle to walk as the climb can be exhausting in 30c + temperatures.
We had quite a lot of ants in the bedrooms which housekeeping staff cleaned up and sprayed but they did return. This didn’t spoil our overall opinion of the apartment though.

The hotel's ambiance was warm and inviting, and the beautiful location offered a serene getaway in a scenic setting.

The hotel room was spacious, well-appointed, and clean, providing a relaxing space after a long day of exploring.

The staff at the hotel were friendly and professional, making check-in and check-out a breeze. They were more than happy to provide valuable information on local attractions and activities, enhancing my overall travel experience.

While my stay was fantastic, I must mention a minor disappointment during my dinner at the hotel's restaurant. Unfortunately, I had to leave after waiting for 20 minutes as the server did not show up to take my order. This was a small blemish on an otherwise enjoyable stay.

Despite this hiccup, I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway in Algarve.

Excellent property in the Old Town of Albufeira. Rooms and food are brilliant. Yes there are a lot of steps if you're walking up from the Old Town Square but if you're as fit as me 😎, they're not an issue. A taxi from the old town costs about 3 Euros up the hill so utterly recommended.

We spent six days at the hotel and it was amazing. The people were friendly, helpful and very professional. The furniture is a little old but in good condition. You have to pay separately for the in-room safe, which was new to us. But the hotel grounds are fully secured and we did not use the room safe. Very nice kitchen in the room with all appliances, coffee maker and toaster. Also all the utensils are in good condition. A great choice for a family with children. We highly recommend this hotel for a vacation.

This the 2nd time we’ve stayed at Cerro Mar. We were given a room on the corner of a block of apartments on a main road so it was very noisy with traffic at night.

Did not like that there was only ceiling lights and not lamps by bed. Felt like we were under a spotlight all the time. The housekeeping could use some improvement.
