hotel do cerro albufeira portugal
fantastic friendly staff family run nice snacks around pool area though pool area rather quite and cramped but relaxing feel hotel near everything eg eateries and entertainment lovely vista from our hotel room
Another wonderful Holiday at the Do Cerro
Just retuned home after another wonderful Holiday at the Do Cerro, my wife and I stayed here last October and could not wait to return this October and it was just as good as last time, we had a different room this time (303) and it was great with a nice view of the beach. On reception Claudia is so nice and welcoming when you arrive as are the other staff who work there, the men and ladies at the pool bar/restaurant really look after everyone and work very hard and are always happy, Needles to say we will be back next October and are already looking forward to it.
Thanks again Kevin.

Nice place would come back
The hotel staff very friendly and welcoming and willing to help. Staff are funny and put you at ease. The hotel is clean and cleaners attend room every day. Very relaxing and quiet and peaceful hotel. No issue or a struggle to get a sun lounger around pool. Pool snack bar food is nice and reasonably priced. There are two pools. Entertainment every night as been good.
The breakfast is nice but very repetitive so can get abit borning after eating same things every day. The way they take the order is good and avoids queues and others touching food and you can have as much or as little as you want.
Great service
Much better than expected, all the staff are lovely and great breakfast, I would recommend this hotel.
Substandard
Just a very substandard experience. Firstly, the traveller tax. They demand it in cash. I was willing to do a bank transfer, but they said this isn't an option, which is awkward in modern times when cash isn't used. Having to exchange my UK notes just for this. Second, the prices and extras. The spa is extortionate to use, 30€ just for the jacuzzi for an hour and 5€ for a mandatory swim cap. You have to pay to hire a kettle, which is only 1€ a day, but come on, just provide it for free! Third, the aircon cant be adjusted so it stuck on 23°C and half the room lights didnt work. Lastly, I got ill after eating an undercooked omelette at the pool bar the day I arrived. The next morning the boiled eggs I ordered were runny, not the yokes, but the whites. It took 3 attempts to give me ones that were properly cooked. When I gave feedback to the receptionist, she was very patronising and suggested it was just my preference, saying that other people like theirs runny. She also brushed off my illness saying 'but you are better now'. Breakfast very poor even with the eggs done right. Juice tasted of chemicals/sweetner, no mushrooms or boiled tomatoes, no gluten-free options. Positives: room is nice and spacious, had a good night's sleep, location is very good and pool is decent.
