This hotel is just 100 m from the Praia da Oura Beach in Albufeira, one of the best beaches in the Algarve, and within walking distance of the nightlife area, restaurants, shops and supermarkets. Links to the public transport network are in the immediate vicinity and the bus station and railway station are about 2 and 6.5 km away respectively. Faro Airport is approximately 40 km away. This is a complex of 54 apartments with spacious balconies, some of which offer magnificent views of the sea. Guests are welcome to enjoy the outdoor swimming pool surrounded by a deck with sun beds. Meanwhile, fans of the fairway can head to the nearest golf course, which is 30 minutes' drive from the hotel. Active guests can also rent bicycles at reception to explore the area.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
This was our second stay at the Golden Beach apartments, it was the same lovely reception lady, who warmly greeted us as when we arrived, 2 years ago with the same friendliness and lots of useful information. The whole resort was just as good, if not better than before, please read other reviews, super friendly staff, from reception to cleaners, the poolside bar staff, the rooms are cleaned impeccably every day, everything is close at hand, super beach literally yards away, selection of restaurants nearby, well stocked supermarket very close, an ideal location and about a 8 to 10 mins away from the nightlife, but just far enough away to have an undisturbed nights sleep.......................................and yes we've already rebooked for next year!
This was our second stay at this hotel and couldn't fault it. We paid extra for a sea view which was well worth it. The room and balcony were spacious and spotlessly clean. The beds were really comfortable and everything we needed for a self catering stay was provided. Staff were all friendly and helpful, and the location was perfect for us, close to all amenities but very quiet and secure. We will definitely return, thanks for a lovely stay!
Great location near the strip but never heard any noise from there. Good sized apartment with all you need for a self catering holiday. We had a sea view balcony where we sat at to eat and drink. The hotel was not too busy with a relaxed atmosphere with a mixture of couples and families. Rooms were cleaned everyday and to a high standard. On arrival we were given a beach bag with 2 water bottles that you could fill from a filtered water machine along with some milk and biscuits. You also get pool towels free of charge that you can change everyday. The staff are very friendly and on hand if you have any problems. From the quality of the apartment and my overall experience of my stay i would not hesitate to stay here again and had a good relaxing 10 day break.
We really enjoyed our stay here. Lovely clean spacious apartments with a beautiful beach view, very close to the strip but we couldn’t hear any noise at all, we travelled with 3 children including one baby, very bumpy for the buggy and loads of hills but this wasn’t an issue, Lidl and Aldi close by, bolts very cheap and efficient. We went down to old town every evening for dinner. Overall great value for money and we had a great time we would return again. Lovely pool also, baby used the baby pool every day. Well done to all the team at golden beach.
I spent 7 night at golden beach with my 2 teens we arrived very tired staff were lovely give us a nice welcone pack off water bottles , biscuits and pool towel and beach bag lovely touch. Our room was spottless had everything we needed and cleaned daily the maids and staff keep everything spotless and work hard , my teens were a nitemare to get out in the morning so we did struggle to get a pool bed at times as the pool area is small and the maids did come back later to clean when requested they do a fab job. The pool was beautiful once in so dont be put off by the size always very clean to with a lifeguard near by every day .The pool cafe was fab and reasonable we didnt uss it much as we were out most days. No inflatbles in the pool so we took ours to the beach
Location wise the beach was a 5 minute walk down with shops and reausturants and a little bakery on the way its a busy road with not much walkway due to parked cars so be careful . Walking up the hill brings you to the new strip with lots of bars and reaturants mini golf course and a few arcades and activities kids rides which my kids enjoyed , personally we hated the new strip we were harrassed to death amd being a neurodiverse family we dont like this we like time to look at menus and think we couldnt do this here so we spent most of our time eating by the beach are in the old town which is much better Tuk Tuk were a fab experience and parked outside the hotel 10 euros to old town we had fab meals and entertainment at old town. As no entertainment at the hotel at night which didnt bother us however there was a little pool entertainment around tea time which was fab .we went on a jeep safari which was a good day out but i have had better , zoo marine was brilliant we really loved that day reception booked us a taxi which was 21 euro but so worth it . We did a cave and dolphin boat trip on the last day which was also fab. I would come back to this hotel as there was no complaints at all but i do prefer the old strip portugal has changed alot and its not how i remember it sadly. Airport also a nitemare
Hotel beautiful though cant fault anything we had a lovely stay
