Top Apra Hotel Reviews

Tivoli Marina Vilamoura

10/10 Excellent

"Clean hotel. Friendly welcome upon arrival. Staff friendly. Food was good."

3HB Faro

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was beautiful and staff fabulous. Although the hotel doesn't have its own car parking, it does offer the ability to park nearby. However, we couldn't park in the temporary spaces provided a couple of streets away to enable us to drop off our bags before moving the car to the parking. We therefore took the option to park in a free car park about 5 minutes walk away. The breakfast was brilliant with cooked to order items as well as cold buffet, all of which were very fresh and varied. We would very much stay here again"

Real Marina Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"The only thing we thought could be improved was the buffet evening meal, there were not many choices and for €28 thought it was a little overpriced. We are not fussy by any means but with a choice of only salmon kebabs & lamb chops thought it was a bit limited. Apart from that the breakfast was good and lot's of choices. We absolutely loved our stay here and would definitely stay again."

PortoBay Blue Ocean

10/10 Excellent

"The property is beautiful. The room was clean and the staff amazing. We stayed 4 nights and enjoyed every moment. The complimentary breakfast buffet was great and if you choose the dinner buffet well stocked and reasonably priced. There is nightly entertainment should you choose to stay on the resort. Albufeira is a close Uber ride so close for excursions and dinner in the old town. We will definitely return. Great experience."

Pure Formosa Concept Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Nice pool area but no where to sit cos, as usual, people take over the loungers and leave their towels even when they leave for whatever reason so that others can’t use them. We also had to hear all the flushing toilets from rooms above us. Otherwise room was clean, beds comfortable but the pillows didn’t suit us"

Pine Cliffs Hotel, a Luxury Collection Resort, Algarve

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for 4 nights with my elderly mother before heading to Lisbon then Porto. We couldn’t be happier with every aspect of this resort. The concierge graciously helped us find a wheelchair rental to help get around the property and many restaurants on site. Selena and the other host at the breakfast buffet were so kind and greeted us each day with a big smile and genuine hospitality we’ll never forget. She hosts in 2 of the restaurants and beyond the food being outstanding, we looked forward to being greeted by her each day. Another gentleman served us in the outside restaurant near the chess area. I can’t remember his name it was so unique which is a shame because he shared great stories about the history of Portugal and how his son prefers Messi over Ronaldo which we had a good laugh over. All in all this was one of the finest hotel resorts we’ve ever been to and hopefully find the time to revisit even though we’re from the states. Thank you to everyone that took care of us during our stay."

Frequently asked questions

What other neighbourhoods are similar to Apra?

While Apra itself is unique in its offering, for those seeking a similar blend of coastal beauty, high-quality amenities, and a relaxed yet refined atmosphere along the Algarve, the areas around Vale do Lobo and Quinta do Lago are excellent alternatives.

Vale do Lobo, located just west of Faro, is renowned for its luxury resorts and stunning beachfront properties. The area is characterised by its manicured landscapes, world-class golf courses, and an impressive array of fine dining establishments, particularly around the Praça. It's a fantastic option for couples looking for an indulgent escape, with plenty of opportunities for beachfront relaxation and gourmet experiences.

Quinta do Lago, immediately adjacent to Vale do Lobo, is another top-tier destination. It's known for its spacious, elegant villas and exclusive developments set within a natural park, offering a sense of privacy and tranquility. The area boasts several championship golf courses, high-end shopping, and excellent restaurants, many with lake or ocean views.

When is the best time to go to Apra?

The best time to visit Apra is during the shoulder seasons of spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October).

You'll find it ideal for activities like hiking along the coastal paths or enjoying a boat trip to the Ria Formosa National Park.

For those looking to enjoy the beaches and water sports, the summer months of July and August offer the warmest sea temperatures and the most sunshine, though the towns will be much busier. If you don't mind the crowds, this is the great time for a beach holiday.

Travellers looking for a quieter experience and good value might consider visiting in late autumn or early spring.
