Marina Vilamoura - Aquamar 301 - By Vilamoura Sun

Location was fantastic, the place was clean and tidy with fully stocked kitchen for cooking, large fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. Pool area very clean and tidy.

Really this is a one bedroom apartment that has been turned into a 2 bed apartment. Was ok for a short stay with 3 people. However the second bedroom was literally a bed - you could only just fit around the edges and there was no space for any storing any clothes or cases. Would probably be better for children in there - although it is a double bed. If you are 2 couples it might be a bit of a squeeze. You had to wait between showers for hot water to heat up - it ran out very quickly. Your are on the North of the building so do not get any sun - so it was a bit dark and chilly (End of September Visit)

The location was excellent, great location for the Marina and beach

It was a safe , clean apartment block, staff were helpful and has a nice pool area. There is small a supermarket joined to the apartment block which had all the essentials and freshly made dishes available for takeaway.

The location was good but on a very noisy road which impacted sleep. The apartment is north facing so does not receive any sun at all.

The bedhead in the main bedroom has two disgusting stains - it needs to be replaced. The north faccing aspect.

Collecting keys is easy as the reception is manned 24/7. There is plenty of space and decent quality of facilities. The AC worked well and there was a supply of cooking utensils in the kitchen. It is very well placed for the Marina and beach, which meant travelling to and from was nice. Big balcony outside which is nice to sit at.

Some aspects felt quite worn, and it felt like there was too much furniture in the main living areas which made it felt a cramped (where the furniture serves no purpose). Some of the fixtures in the bathroom were worn and need to be replaced (e.g. toilet role holder was badly rusted). The property has a dishwasher and washing machine, but there was no detergent left or even basics like face tissues, (extra) big bags, or more than 1 toilet role per bathroom. I always feel like these are very low cost items but would have made a difference given you're spending to stay in a apartment with facilities rather than a hotel. It could do with some more comfortable dining chairs and a paint to remove the scratches and marks on the walls. The main living room AC was very noisy (more than the bedroom), and is attached to the second bedroom - be aware of this if you'd need it running at night.

Good location

View from balcony

The location was very near to all amenities there was a small supermarket virtually outside the apartments, the beach is about a 10 minute walk and there are lots of restaurants near by

The beds in apartment had hard mattresses and were very uncomfortable. The second bedroom was very small, not really suitable for two people maybe two children but not two adults. The pool area is quite small and doesn’t have a lot of sunbeds. There are no chairs to sit in if like me you have a bad back and can’t lie on sunbeds. The pool itself is ice cold and I would imagine that in the summer months in peak season, it would get quite crowded.

The apartment was in a great location, clean and had everything we needed. The staff on reception was so helpful.

Comfortable, spacious and good location

Second bedroom is know wardrobes
