4* Cerro Mar Atlantico Apartments

Albafeira, Algarve, Portugal

Star Rating: ****

If you’re after peaceful surroundings close to bubbly Albufeira, the Cerro Mar Atlantico Apartments will tick all your boxes. This Portuguese-style hotel is in a slightly raised position overlooking the terracotta rooftops of the town centre and the golden, sandy beach. You get the added bonus of a free shuttle bus to whisk you there and back several times a day.

The hotel goes big on the facilities front. There are a whopping 10 swimming pools snaking through the resort – which includes the Cerro Mar Atlantico and the sister property next door, Cerro Mar Garden. Five of those swim spots are just for the little ones, too. Three waterside bars take care of snacks and cold drinks, and one shows live sports on a big screen. At mealtimes, the Monte Verde restaurant serves a mix of a la carte and buffet-style cuisine – think international favourites with local speciality dishes. As for the Al-hamma Spa, this is the place to head for indulgent treatments like the chocolate body wrap.

Tennis, darts, and snooker are all on offer here. The evening entertainment, meanwhile, encompasses shows, live music and quizzes.

Just so you know, whilst your room will be in the Cerro Mar Atlantico, you'll have full use of the facilities at the Cerro Mar Garden, just a stone's throw away.

Please note: this hotel does not accept stag/hen parties or similar groups
