"Great location, clean facilities, great breakfast. "

"Great room w/balcony overlooking the sea. Room had great water pressure, hot water and shower drained normally. Nightly bar activities were short but fun. It was winter season so most business were closed, but what was open was fantastic - especially King Yo restaurant just 5 mins away from the hotel. "

"The place is spotless, lovely staff and an amazing position overlooking the ocean. 3 pools ( two unheated ) . We opted for all inclusive which was great , plenty of food options and alcoholic drinks from noon to 11pm too. The beer very refreshing. Room comfy and clean with a small balcony looking out to see. 100% great value "

"Good hotel in a convenient location. Staff were helpful and friendly. It is slightly dated decor wise but is a good base for exploring. Comfy bed and useful kitchenette."

"The hotel was lovely but we was only told that we are not allowed to stay at the hotel we originally booked and this was the day b4 we fly so not happy about that but overall the new place was great "

"In general an excellent vacation "

"August 2025, family of 4 stayed in a two bedroom apartment on the second floor. First time in Portugal I really didn’t know where to choose to stay, mixed reviews about the accommodation but I just went with it. Lovely friendly staff, beautiful pool, great location and the apartment was clean, spacious, kitchen well equipped and the apartment cleaned daily. Some parts of the hotel could do with being modernised but it really wasn’t a big deal. The safe was located beside reception and easy to access 24/7. The pool had a mix of majority families and a few groups of girls and fellas in their 20/30s, no issues with unacceptable behaviour at all, everyone was just enjoying themselves. Some families there were saying it was their second or third year coming back. There is a pool bar which serves drinks and snacks. The strip was a 7 minute walk, the old town a 25 minute walk and the beach 15 min walk. Ubers between 3-4 euro so easy to get about if you don’t fancy walking. So in summary an enjoyable stay at the Ondamar, good location, safe environment and lovely staff. "

"Very good and convenient. "
