Apartamentos Vale De Carros By Umbral - Albufeira

- Spacious family studio, fantastic shower pressure, kitchen well-equipped

- Dirty pool area, occasional noise disturbances, lack of prompt towel changes

The apartment, grounds and pool were spotlessly clean. The location for us was perfect as we were attending a wedding at the nearby Sheraton Algarve hotel, plus it's only a very short drive (also walkable) to a beautiful beach. The staff were helpful and always available- even when we didn't arrive until 5am due to a flight delay. I liked the fact that we weren't right in the centre of a resort so it was relatively peaceful, especially with young kids.

It would have been nice to have an oven or microwave, and the freezer department of the fridge wasn't powerful enough to keep the kid's ice cream frozen, though all in all I can't really fault the apartment for the price.

Good place for budget holidays, nice pool.

The website is confusing. In our opinion it did not stated clearly that there are not 2 bedrooms, but only one bedroom and a bed in the kitchen, so we were very disappointed when we arrived. We left after 2 nights as it was highly uncomfortable for us, even if we did not expect too much for that money. Lots of mosquitos in the night, buy a good anti-mosquito sprayer. Furnitures and fittings a bit old.

Decent stay with nice pool vibes

The poolside snack bar was a lifesaver for quick bites. A bit noisy at night sometimes, but it was comfy overall. Wish the kitchen utensils were in better shape though. The location was great too, super close to the beach!

It was a very well located Apartment complex, close to the village. It also was quite and very well suited to young couples and families mainly families though. We got a lovely welcome and the reception area had plenty of information there on the local area and attractions .

Having no air con was a problem it was very hot, we have been staying is this area for over 10 years and I did find this an issue at night. Also our apartment was riddled with ants, you couldn't leave anything around. That was a problem for us.

The employees are all extremely helpful and very amiable.

Family with children suitable relaxation spot

The staff at the reception were really helpful and engaging, always ready to answer my questions. The location was peaceful, perfect for a family relaxing time away from the chaos, especially with the kids enjoying the pools.

It wasn't exactly a bargain but acceptable for what we got.

Garden view was LOVELY and the location was lovely and very pretty, near to several restaurants, and a bus stop, supermarket and cafes and restaurants. I asked for king studio, it was updated and absolutely perfect.

Some people working there were rather noisy.

Good room with large balcony and helpful staff. Wi-Fi was poor.

The spacious studio had a lovely patio overlooking the pool. A great kitchen setup was perfect for self-catering.

Good location for beach access.

I had a good stay here, enjoying the spacious balcony with lovely views. The location makes it easy to access nearby beaches, perfect for relaxation. The only downside was the noise from neighboring guests at times, but overall, it was a fantastic experience.

The apartment layout felt spacious, especially for a family setup, providing ample room to relax after a day out. The kitchen setup allowed us to whip up meals easily, a bonus when traveling with kids.

The air conditioning in my apartment blew cold air directly over the bed, made sleeping uncomfortable. There was a pervasive smell from the sink that lingered in the unit, not to mention the furniture's condition needing serious attention with visible water damage and possible mold issues. WiFi was slow to the point of being useless for work purposes, and the sunbeds were all damaged, rendering them unusable. The promised change of bed sheets after the seventh night didn't happen, a letdown. Although the swimming pool area seemed inviting, the cleanliness left something to be desired, detracting from the overall experience.

Strongly recommend for a flash visit

Cute apartment, spacious room, with good cooking utensils, made it easy to prepare meals and enjoy the beautiful outdoor dining area near the pool.

Nothing it is perfect

The family studio was spacious and comfortable, perfect for us. Had a good kitchen setup to prepare meals, and the shower pressure was fantastic. The room was cleaned daily. Only issue was some noise from neighbors, but overall it was a great spot to relax.
