Hotel do Cerro

This hotel is rated as 4 stars but I would only give it 2 and a half. They have one restaurant in which the drinks are served in plastic cups, including my morning espresso. The breakfast was extremely limited and low quality. Staff at the bar made me the worst espresso martini I ever had and thought that iced coffee is coffee with ice?! All the staff was friendly and tried their best to help but they didn't hold much power and had to ask the manager who stayed invisible for me. Definitely not worth 4 stars and a place that I would not visit again.

Stayed over the Easter period. Very friendly reseption lady on arrival. Lovely interior to the hotel. Room more than addiquet for 2 people. Liked the firm bed & pillows. Cleaned every day. I knew about the kettle situation before going and took my own travel kettle, which I have had to do on a couple of occasions,in other countries and hotels. Its not a "deal breaker" Breakfast I like the tick box system & there is less waste, the staff were super friendly and very busy and attentive. Unfortunately yes the toast was the worst item, always cold and hard, so be honest they may as well not serve it. but I am happy with lovely bread rolls. Pool nice, if a little cold in April. 😂 Pool bar food lovely. Drinks in the bar was nice in the evening and Pedro and his lady buddy were fun. Plenty of help at reception if needed from what I could see. Walk into town was fine, yes a little steep in parts, if your not used to hills. Albufeira has change alot in the 25+years I have since been,probably not for the better. The bottom half of the town was full of stag & hen. parties & unfortunately I know we all have them in our towns, homeless/alcoholic's in the square, quite a few begging. We had some very good meals and then tended to return by 10pm,we are not people who go out drinking. I guess there is some thing for everyone and once you get to know, when and where to go it's lovely. I would definitely return to this hotel now we know the "in's & out's" of the town.

Very friendly family run hotel. Stayed on B&B basis which we found suited our needs as we were meeting friends who were staying another location. The system of choosing breakfast each morning worked well, fast efficient table service. If there was anything to complain about was the toast, this was always cold and under done. The hotel was located at the highest point possible not recommended for anyone with mobility issues, although once you got your breath back after climbing the hills the view over Albufeira was beautiful. Rooms not luxurious but serviced daily. Beds were slightly hard for my liking. Entertainment in the bar most nights not fantastic but enough background music to relax to. Pedro the barman was very friendly, always had time for a chat. Would recommend the hotel if you want a relaxing holiday spent around the pool but be prepared to walk about 15 minutes to the square or use a taxi

First of all the positives. Nice friendly helpful staff. Clean hotel. Nice evening meals. Good evening bar area with sky sport. Comfy pillows Sea view Negatives. Bed really hard Had to pay extra for kettle euro a day. No tea or coffee provided. Only one lot of toiletries given eg. Tiny shower gel Breakfast made to order but basic would prefer buffer style Would say hotel is more a 3 star than 4 Our room wasn't clean until 3.45 pm each day There is a big long list of rules to follow.

Again we loved our stay. The hotel is clean and quirky and it's great that it's so well organised. The staff are so helpful and friendly and one of the reasons we keep going back. It's the perfect place for a relaxing holiday, and we look forward to going back again.

Booked a late getaway here beginning of April, the hotel is great staff are really friendly and everything is spotless, rooms comfortable and spacious, pool area kept clean and chilled, breakfast system of table service works great and the staff work so hard to ensure you enjoy the break with a smile to go with the service. Yes the hotel is uphill when walking back from the old town but so are most in Albufeira due to how the resort is placed, we were really lucky with the weather whilst there and when it did rain you just had to sit in a bar have lunch and a drink and watch the world go by which was never a chore. Would return again without hesitation,.
