Clube Praia da Oura & Oura Praia Hotel - Albufeira, Portugal 

We have just spent two weeks at Clube Praia da Oura. Had a great time, the complex is spotless, the public bathrooms were always clean even the pool toilets were spot on which is unusual. We had a studio which being honest was small, the kitchen was fully equipped, with cooker, microwave, toaster, kettle and every kitchen implement you would need. The first week we were there we found it difficult to get a sun bed if you went down after 9am, there were loads of towels on them and people weren't coming down until lunch time, this was quite frustrating. After a few day's the place seemed quieter and sun beds easier to get. The bar's weren't much dearer than those on the strip if you drank the local beer, however if you want a beer that's not as gassy head for Reno's on the strip 4euro for a pint of Carling. Meal's can be a bit expensive but if you look of the strip you can get fresh fish or a steak for about 8euro. Had a crap microwaved Sunday lunch at a place called Mary Ann's, just off the strip don't bother even trying it. All in all had good time local buses easy to use and frequent and some lovely walks on the cliff's.

Arrived back 1 week ago. We were really pleased with these apartments as they were really nice and in a great location, they are spotless clean as the maid service is every other day (clean towels), the beach is really close with plenty of sunbeds. There is a supermarket on the grounds but a much bigger one at the Oura Praia just up the road. The 'STRIP' is about a 5 minute walk away and is very lively, there are a few bars by the beach and some on the hill up to the 'STRIP'. All the staff were friendly and helpful and we even had a visit from one of the managers to check if we were satisfied with the apartments. The only downside to these apartments is no air con, but they do provide you with an extra fan.
