Janelas Do Mar Apartments

Can anybody please tell me if this hotel has air con at all?

i thought this was a graet hotel i stayed there for 2weeks for the frist week in august.. the staff were very friendly and kind i wud deffo go back there

This place was a great place to stay everyone was very friendly

i lost my camera and when i asked at reception thinking it was gone a member of staff had found it and handed it in. Rooms lovely pool lovely food lovely all in all Janelas Do Mar Apartment was a lovely place to stay.

On the whole it was ok, for a place to stay, it is about a 10 min walk from Montechoro strip and about 20mins walk from the beach so not exactly central.

We went in April with 2 young children (3 &1yo). Weather bit changeable so great having indoor pool to swim/play in. Luckily we were on 1st floor but there are 8 floor so if high up might not be so god with kids. Staff friendly and helpful. Apartments basic but clean and spacious. Breezy as at top of hill.

It's nice place if you like a 'peace and quiet by a pool' holiday. The Janelas Do Mar Apartments are very clean and spacious.

Janelas Do Mar Apartments are lovely and I would definitely recommend it to a friend. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Although you wouldn't stay there every night the entertainment is good. The restaurant in the apartments could of been better but still it was enjoyable. You are quite near all the main attractions. Overall it was a very enjoyable holiday and I would definitely go back!

I would go back to the Janelas Do Mar Apartments in Albufeira if there was better entertainment with more music, and also some air conditioning.

We booked to go to the Janelas Do Mar Apartments 3 weeks before we left, for myself and my boyfriend. Before going, I decided to take a look at some reviews and to be honest, I was dreading it. One review said that block 3 was the noisiest but we stayed in block 3 on the third floor and found it lovely and peaceful. The bar is situated in block 2 and that wasn't a problem to us either, so that person must have been a very light sleeper. The rooms are very spacious, with a balcony to look at the beautiful view. The strip is fantastic for night life, especially at the top end, that's the best bit. We found a really good bar at the very top called Matts Bar, we only found that two days before we were due to leave, which was very annoying. I don't think I'd fly with First Choice again, our holiday rep wasn't very helpful. She seemed to have the attitude of acting off with the young couples, yet very polite and chatty with the elders. She never asked if we were OK and never said hi. The reception staff were friendly enough and so were the staff in the on site cafe, which do make lovely food, we ate there a few times when we were by the pool, they were very friendly and welcoming. We went on an excursion to a gypsy market through First Choice, we were told that it was fantastic and where we were able to buy linens, leathers etc. The bits that the rep did miss out was telling us that the market is always busiest on a Wednesday on the day that we went. She also told us we would be picked up at 9.05am and picked up from the market at 2.30pm, instead were were picked up at 9.20am and taken back to our hotels at 1.30pm, that was including a stop to the harbour, which we weren't informed about until we got to the coach. Some reviews say that to get to the strip you have to climb a massive hill, well I don't know where they were because the hill turned out to be a little slope that took only a minute to get up it and then it's flat from there. It took us 7minutes to get to the strip, we found McDonalds and Pizza Hut, also a shopping centre. If you get to the worms roundabout walking from the hotel, take your second right and carry on to the top of the road, walk past the watches roundabout and you will find Pizza Hut and the shopping centre on your left hand side. A little further up on your right hand side is KFC and McDonalds. Overall a fantastic holiday, I would go back to these apartments. On the strip be aware of ladies and their children on the floor asking for money, these are mainly based in the quiet area.

Too far out of town.. have to use taxis all the time.
