Auramar Beach Resort

Fantastic! For a two star hotel, this place is brilliant. I travelled with a companion on an all inclusive basis. The rooms and hotel itself are very clean. The staff are brilliant except one particular person in the poolside bar of the name. ‘P’ who was surly and bordering on rude at times. this was balanced out by extremely helpful Staff, especially on the reception. P In the poolside bar spoilt the reputation of the staff as a whole. A small grumble also that the music in the poolside bar was a little loud at times and myself and my companion had to shout over it to have a conversation. .The pools are brilliant. Atmosphere is great not too rowdy yet quite relaxed. There are hotel activities if you choose to engage .The Food Is more than good enough, tasty well cooked and nicely presented with a good variety each day.. My only grumble is that some of the floors outside are a little slippy underfoot when wet… But that is true of many places. There are quite a lot of steps so it doesn’t necessarily suit those using a wheelchair or with a push chair. There are stunning beaches right on the doorstep.This place is absolutely excellent value for money and offers you a safe comfortable holiday in a great environment. The old Town is a 10 minute walk away or a short uber ride where it offers traditional shops, bars and nightlife. ..whereas the new Town…… Well I shall just say it isn’t my cup of tea! Probably great for young people though. This was my fifth time as a guest, and I will most definitely be returning!

My husband and myself loved this hotel came back again in July as it was so wonderful and we so loved the ambience of the lovely staff and the Portugal people in general just for a week. We live in the Isle of Man so our holiday was with fly direct a direct flight package from the IOM to Portugal so convenient. Again another lovely stay it felt like home we even managed to get a room on the same level. Another great touch is when you arrive you get a small paper bag with cold iced tea sandwiches and fruit so nice when you arrive late in the evening. The weather was much hotter than May and I am pleased to say after e mailing the hotel directly managed to get a room with the balcony on the same floor not so far from the restuarant.Would still recommend a taxi transfer to the airport as it is much quicker than a coach and the hotel will pre book it for you. Decided to write this review late as panning to fly back for a week next May on my own as sadly my husband died unexpectantly last October a week before his birthday and our wedding anniversary and another holiday so plan to be brave and travel on my own as you do feel safe at this hotel plus my window cleaner is Portugese and comes from a small place not so far away from this town and he encouraged me to go A big plus to was the cleanliness of the hotel and a decent shower and good fridge.
