The hotel was a sad place to be, with zero atmosphere or ambiance. the check in staff looked unhappy, it was dark, everything was locked and most of the hotel isn't in use. It's noisy, because there there is hard surfaces everywhere, so the sound bounces. The one positive, was the rooms. They had been renovated and looked "fairly new" but the bathrooms was still cheap, lacked light and nicer fixtures and fittings. The bed was comfy and the water was hot and we had a little kitchen area which is obviously good for longer stays. We we told that they dont cater for groups, stag or hen parties, but that's all we seemed to find at the pool. Loud, drunk, youngsters, shouting and screaming. It was an uncomfortable place to be, so much so, we left immediately. I can see the hotel looked like it was a great place to be, but it's just a sad, dark place with no life to it. I'm glad we were only staying for one night, because we couldn't wait to get out of there.

Great stay for 3 nights rooms were big and clean and good value for money compared to other options in the area. Only real complaint was that the bar staff beside the pool were quite slow!

Do not go to this hotel
Do not stay in this hotel under any circumstances. We’d booked a room of 4 with 4 single beds around 6 months before our trip. We turned up and checked into the room and there were 2 singles and the other two “beds” were a leather sofa that didn’t even pull out as a bed and also a mattress on the floor. When I went down to reception to complain, I was told there was nothing they could do. I even opened hotels.com and found other rooms on there and requested they put two of us in there and they said they couldn’t. Completely un acceptable and ruined our holiday

Firstly the beds are really uncomfortable and sleeping was tough enough but add stags parties into the mix having parties on their balconies until 7 am sleep became an added bonus. The complex overall needs some TLC as lots of minor things need fixing, door handles, lights switches and toilets to name but a few. The pool area is nice and clean the gardener does a great job of clearing loose leaves at 8 am every day with his exceptionally loud leaf blower but thats ok because he might wake up the stags party which finished an hour previous. The only dining option open at the time was the poolside bar all other indoor options were closed even though it is May, ordering a drink here became a challenge as they ran out of draft beer and when offered the option of a bottled beer this was taken however, this beer is usually served with lemon or lime inserted but regrettable neither fruit was available. The staff seem to be disinterested in the guests and rarely engage in a meaningful way when approached at the desk. Overall Ondamar although a nice building it needs some care and attention.

Great, comfortable stay
A group of us stayed for 3 nights and all of us were very happy with the hotel, the service we received and the excellent location. The beds and umbrellas around the pool area seem to be recently updated, the entire hotel was spotlessly clean, reception staff were friendly and helpful. The beds were very comfortable (We stayed in the pool studios). We did have some noise from other guests, and we could hear noise from other rooms, but it is to be expected due to the location, it is close to the strip. Whilst it is close to the Strip it is also far enough away that you can relax and feel remove from it. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in Albufeira!

We came close to the end of October. The indoor pool heater was broken which made even that pool not very enjoyable. And the outside temperature has not been great for swimming outdoors. The 2 bedroom apartment was clean and spacious for a family of 5. The beds were very uncomfortable and the noise was very loud from restaurants and bar near hotel till 2am. Which made it hard to sleep. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. It’s in a nice location.
