Spent a week in this hotel during March 2012. Would definitely not go back during March as it was more or less closed. The only thing that was open was reception, no bar, no restaurant and the pool area was closed. The apartment was OK but no way is it a 4 star, I mentioned this to a Mercury rep... More

This hotel may have been a four star hotel in 1981 but by NO stretch of the imagination should anybody considering booking to stay here in 2011/2012 unless they want a relaxing, clean and comfortable holiday. Firstly, and this really will only be the good point in this WHOLE review, I must mention the two lads on reception, Andre and... More

Small front leading to nice cool reception, inet & library. We had road side apartment,which was bit noisey with traffic, but cooler, and which we were pleasntly surprised with the size of it, bathroom, double bedroom and large l.rm diner, double sofa bed (wasnt comfy to sit on) All pleasantly furnished. There is only a 2 plate hob, so cant... More

Had a lovely stay at Alagoamar, had a pool view so was not noisey! Very friendly, helpful staff, clean rooms and very spacious. Will be recommended. Perfect location, a 10-15 min walk to strip and in the other direction the old town.

We arrived at the Alagoa Mar 270911, and were immediately told that my pool view request for a room was declined. However 'if you live in the city you will be used to the noise'. I have never heard noise like it and could not sit in the room with the door open. The a/c clicked during the night and... More

On arrival we were ushered straight out to the Hotel/Apartments next door,obviously they were overbooked. The Hotel we were taken to was approx 20 yards up the street,called the Paladim.. I cannot comment on the Algoamar but if you feel or worry that the same could happen to you.please read my report regarding the Paladim apartments.

Me and my two teenagers stayed at the apartment for a week. We were given an apartment overlooking the road and after having read previous reviews I was worried and had wanted to move. Unfortunately the hotel was full so were stuck. Our worries were unfounded however and there was no noise to speak off at all. The reception staff... More

We came with our family and was pleased to finally arrive in Portugal. Outside our apartment we could see the pool because we had a pool side.In the apartment it was quiet up to date, our room was very clean and new built look. The only weakness is that our bathroom door and lounge door had a massive dent in... More

We arrived, after requesting a quiet room, to be told we had a room facing the road. It is reallt noisy. If u were planning on just using the hotel as a base sleeping in the day and drinking at night it is fine. The staff were amazing when we complained and moved us within 3 days. Which was the... More
