Guest Reviews
Location
The convenience of the hotel's location is frequently highlighted with many reviews noting that it takes only a few minutes to reach major attractions like the beach, old town and other leisure spots. Guests also appreciate its proximity to supermarkets and daily utility services, making it suitable for both short weekend getaways and longer stays. The nearby Albufeira escalators and excellent connections to other parts of the city further enhance the accessibility of Cerro Atlantico.
While the central location contributes to occasional noise, particularly from party-goers, most guests believe the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. The ease of parking and the availability of a swimming pool are additional perks that complement the favorable location.
In summary, Cerro Atlantico by Umbral offers a prime location that is ideal for families, friends and solo travelers who wish to be close to Albufeira's main attractions, beaches and local amenities, while still enjoying a tranquil and convenient stay.
Rooms
For those seeking practicality, the apartments are described as simple yet functional, offering a good balance of price and quality. Air conditioning is available in some rooms and convenience is added by sleek kitchen facilities. The living spaces are sufficient to accommodate larger parties with amenities that meet basic needs.
However, not all feedback is positive. Some rooms lack necessary maintenance, have outdated furniture and insufficient kitchen utensils. There are reports of issues such as poor lighting, lack of proper heating and occasional pest problems. Additionally, disturbances from noise, especially at night, may disrupt one's stay due to insufficient soundproofing. The dark rooms with limited windows can detract from the experience and some guests encountered issues with unpleasant odors and a general feeling of dampness.
The pool and terrace areas are appreciated for their size, yet there's a noted smallness in the pool itself. Despite these drawbacks, if staying in a spacious and centrally located apartment at a reasonable price is the priority, Cerro Atlantico by Umbral could be a viable choice.
Beds
Reviews revealed that bed linens were often insufficient, not replaced regularly or altogether absent, contributing further to the overall discomfort. However, scattered feedback did mention that some beds were sleepable, albeit still not ideal. Several guests recommended immediate replacement or refurbishment of the beds and bedding to enhance comfort and improve the sleeping experience at the hotel.
Cleanliness
However, numerous reviews indicate significant issues with cleanliness. Problems such as dirty pools, musty smells, cockroaches and inadequate cleaning services were recurring themes. Some guests mentioned specific cleanliness concerns like dirty towels, stains in the bathtub and hairs being found in inappropriate places. The inconsistency in the quality of cleaning with phrases like cleaning could be better and cleaning services are inadequate, suggests that the hotel may struggle to maintain its standards during busy periods.
Overall, while the spaciousness and location of the apartments are strong points, the inconsistent and often poor standards of cleaning detract from the overall experience for many guests.
Staff
However, the reviews also reveal some inconsistencies in service. A few guests reported indifferent, cold or even rude and unhelpful interactions, suggesting a potential lack of training or variability in staff performance. There are mentions of a lack of control over nighttime noise and issues with the reception being unmanned after certain hours, often after 6:00 PM. Some reviews note that the cleaning staff fail to replenish essentials like towels and seem inattentive.
In summary, while the majority of guests find the staff at Cerro Atlantico by Umbral to be friendly, helpful and professional, there are occasional lapses in service quality and availability.
Wi-Fi
Pool
However, the pool area has garnered some criticism regarding maintenance and functionality. While staff are seen regularly attending to it, there have been instances of cleanliness issues, including floating debris and even more severe concerns like defective motors. Several reviewers noted that the pool was often shaded, which might be a plus for some but a drawback for sun-seekers.
Despite occasional reports of the pool being less than ideal in terms of size and cleanliness, it remains a well-liked feature of the hotel, praised for its accessibility and good overall ambiance. For families, there's a smaller pool suitable for kids and for those looking for proximity to city conveniences, its location near shops and other facilities is a significant plus. While not every experience with the pool was perfect, it often provided a pleasant addition to guests' stays.
Beach
Nightlife
However, the vibrant nightlife that is accessible and attractive for guests does come with significant drawbacks. The noise level at night is notably high with guests often disturbed by the sounds of people partying in the streets and within the hotel itself. Thin walls and windows compound the issue, failing to buffer the sounds of neighbors arguing, guests shouting and loud music – akin to nightclub levels.
While the location is excellent for those eager to delve into the nearby nightlife, it may not be suitable for families or people sensitive to noise. The staff's unresponsiveness to noise complaints further exacerbates the problem, leaving many guests feeling dissatisfied with the nighttime disturbances.
Outdoor Pool
However, there are also mentions of areas that could use improvement. Several reviews indicate that the pool area can appear abandoned and untidy at times with issues such as a broken pool, poor cleaning and even some instances of late-night partying that might disturb those seeking a quieter ambiance. The pool is also noted to receive limited sunlight and can be quite chilly. Additionally, there were occasions where the pool was not operative or closed, disappointing some visitors.
Overall, while the pool has potential and is appreciated for its accessibility and maintenance efforts, there are elements like cleanliness, operational status and noise that could significantly enhance the overall pool experience.
