Cerro Mar Atlantico Apartments

I emailed the hotel from a review I read on here to ask for a top floor or one below room as the views and apartments were the best ones. We arrived before check in and were told the room would not be ready until check in ( was a few hours but worth it). We got the 5th floor with a huge balcony and sea views, with a bonus of sun beds on the balcony/patio. The patio did get rather hot so would need to go around the pool for a dip. The apartment was also huge oceans of room for 2 of us. Spotlessly clean. I had read on here that they were outdated. The sofa bed could probably do with replacing had a lot of use. We only used as a sofa didn’t need as a bed. The furniture is the typical wooden table chairs etc. we did not see the updated rooms so nothing to compare. The kitchen was well equipped a full size fridge and a good sized freezer if needed. The hotel sits on a steep hill and is not advised for people with mobility problems. There are steep steps just down from the hotel which takes you into the square. We did walk up them after a few nights out but it takes some determination. There is an Aldi and a Lidl 5 minutes walk depending on how much you buy it is easily walkable. Taxis are readily available however, we didn’t bother brought 2 bags of shopping and walked back. I had not been to the old town for 10 years and how it has changed. It’s like the strip now and so busy. There are some lovely places to eat we enjoyed a meal every night. As I said earlier would not recommend if you have any mobility problems. Would recommend the Cerro mar and would return if decided to holiday in Albuferia again.

Absolutely poor service, I emailed hotel prior to travel asking for my room to be available from mid day as I was travelling with 2 children. Upon arrival my room was not ready however a group off 4 men arrived and where allocated there room within 45 mins. Staff not very helpful at all by this point I was the last to be provided with a room. Never again coming back. If you have children I would avoid unless you have a late arrival

Hotel in a good location, lots around to do but away from the noise of the restaurants and bars. Our room was a good size, lots of wardrobe space and the sofa bed was comfy. Large fridge freezer, oven, kettle, coffee machine. There was also a dishwasher and washing machine but we didn’t use.

To improve, the hotel could do with a good deep clean, partially the pool area. Also, it was very difficult to get sunbeds as people would leave their towels overnight and not use them until after midday! Only 1 day did a member of staff move them off. Some of the sunbeds were also broken and unusable.

Is worth getting a taxi/bolt for around €4 for a day trip to a slightly further away beach. These are quieter and more picturesque.

Overall, I’ll give 4 stars to this hotel. Stay overall was enjoyable.
