We really enjoyed our stay at Catherine and David's apartment. Beds were very comfortable, and the whole place very cozy and updated. The manicured grounds are amazing. We did not realize when we booked that we had access to 4 different pools which were all well looked after. The apartment is very well located to all amenities. We did not rent a car but all tours had pick-up basically on site. There is a lovely marked walk-way to walk to Old Town and to a bigger grocery store on the way. The hosts were easy to contact and replied straight away. This is a gem. Thank you again Catherine and David. Hoping to be able to visit the Algarve again.

Great family apartment with access to pools
A great 2 bed apartment with fully equipped kitchen perfect for eating in some nights.The owners were available via the app and able to answer our questions when we had them.The complex has 4 pools, one of which was heated.The apartment had plenty of living space and a great outdoor area for eating and enjoying the sunshine.Having 2 recently decorated shower rooms made it good for our family of 2 adults and 2 children and the showers were really good quality.location wise there was a supermarket within a 10minute walk and the main town was 20-30minute walk where we could shop, eat and go on the beach.We walked or used Ubers to get place but I think there are local buses that pick up from just outside the complex.We would definitely use this apartment again and recommend to others.

The best complex I’ve ever stayed on!
This apartment is amazing, it is really well located on the complex and it is one of the last ones to receive the sun in an evening, but it also has plenty of shade. It is close to the main pool which is perfect, lots of grass, mini club, park, swim up bar and a lovely restaurant. It is a lovely walk into the old town with a park on route to break it up for the children. The apartment itself has everything you need and all rooms are large and airy. I would highly recommend this apartment, we had a wonderful holiday.

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at this property. The unit provided most of everything we needed for our stay. While we also enjoyed the evening fun of Old Town Albufeira, it was nice to relax around one of the many pools at a Club Albufeira. We also found it quite handy to have a few restaurants on the property for our first and last nights.

Perfect family memories!
Catalina apartment at Clube Albufeira was the perfect place for our family of 4. Close enough to all the activity and fun of the town of Albufeira, but also far enough away, for the rest, quiet and calm of a chill holiday,. The apartment was perfect for us with our 2 teenage lads, well equipped, spacious with beautiful views and easy access to the lovely on site pools and restaurants. We could easily travel short distances to nearby smaller, stunning beaches, which we thoroughly enjoyed.
Excellent communication and help from the hosts gave peace of mind, and helped us make the best of our stay. Would highly recommend!

Terrible Unfortunately
I am going to start this review by stating that I am a professional 52 year old who has a stellar rating across all holiday rental platforms that I have used for innumerable years. I travel frequently and have NEVER had any difficulties with any hosts…until I dealt with these hosts My family travelled to Portugal for a highly anticipated and very significant family reunion-we were so excited.
We stayed at Catherine and David’s property for 5 days and enjoyed friendly communication in the lead up to and during our stay. The problem were encountered immediately following our check out. We left at the agreed check out time and exchanged some pleasantries with the cleaner. Shortly following our departure, I received a highly offensive and accusatory message from the hosts (who do not appear to live near the property). They claim that we exceeded the agreed/maximum number of guests, left the house in a “filthy” state and that we tampered with their personal belongings deliberately that they choose to keep in a public area of the home. This information was relayed to the hosts via the cleaner.
I refute these accusations in the strongest possible terms. Myself and my family are decent, honest, hard-working people who’s only intent was for a lovely holiday and spend time with our precious extended family. The last thing on our minds was to be deceptive, dishonest, destructive or dirty. I am still devastated by it all. These claims are baseless with no tangible evidence.

Fantastic Apartment in Lovely, Quiet Area
My daughter and I loved our stay in Catalina Apartment for a pre-prom break. The apartment has everything you could need, and more besides. it was lovely and clean when we arrived and was very comfortable. The air con was a great bonus in the heat.
The Clube Albufeira resort is very well maintained and is kept very tidy. We ate most nights at the restaurant O Pavilhāo where there was a good selection of meals and the service was great.
The complex is situated some way out of Albufeira which suited us perfectly.
Hopefully we will be able to return again to see more of the area.
