Clube Maria Luisa

OMG where do we start, internet does not work, end of story despite their excuses, more than four rooms occupied no internet, reception is a waste of time, they cannot, will not do anything to make things easier, they threaten you with the police if you dare to argue with them, the hotel is a joke, they show you rooms with a sea view, however they do no tell you that these rooms are privately owned and the only room available to anyone who books looks out over scrubland or neighbours gardens, there are builders there who have been there forever renovating rooms on the ground floor, we travel a lot, In all honesty I have NEVER in all of my travels come acorss such an inept bunch of people in all of my life, this could be a lovely hotel with the right management or the right reception staff unfortunaltly you have neither, do this place a favour sell to a company that knows what they are doing, do you not read your trip advisor reports, you only reply to your positive reports which are 1 in about 20, get real and read the rest, they are sending you a message, you are crap, sell the place to someone who can use the location and stop being the pratts that you are, full on the 31st January? dream on. you are a joke suck it up and get real, pictures are of the damp in the room we were given, we were told use this room, leave or we will call the police.

We stayed in Clube Maria Luisa for 4 nights in Feb 2025. This was a last minute booking and was our first experience of self catering. We have 3 children aged 9, 7 and 3. We had a lovely 2 bedroom apartment and I cannot fault the accommodation at all. Positives; Beach is a 2 minute walk away and is a lovely, clean beach Although self catering, there are options to pay to have breakfast and have lunch. We ordered a couple of pizzas for lunch and they were lovely. Negatives; We were dropped off by our Jet2 coach at the end of the road and was a 5 min walk to the hotel. Not the hotels fault but just be aware that unless you are in an Uber, or private taxi, a bus cannot go down the road to the hotel. Not a problem for us, but if you have mobility issues then I recommend a taxi. Overall it was a lovely break and we enjoyed our time. We have been to Portugal many times and are familiar with the area. With it being February we knew that it was still classed as 'off season' and that not everything would be open. We had rain one day but apart from that it was lovely to see the sunshine!

Clube Maria Luísa was a fantastic choice for our trip with another couple. The rooms were spacious and recently renovated, offering some truly lovely views. Their pizzas were surprisingly good—perfect for a laid-back meal after a day by the pool, at the beach, or exploring the city. The location couldn’t be better, with the beach just a 2-minute walk away and two private pools for when we wanted to stay closer to the apartment. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. A special thanks to Sérgio for his kindness and hospitality. It’s a great spot for a relaxing and easygoing holiday—I’d happily recommend it and will definitely come back for summer!

Good Time. Great welcome. Place was empty. Had fire simulation and they advised us a day ahead. Kitchen basically equipped. Place was clean. People are very nice and helpful. We would come back there if we travel again in the area.

Recently, we had the pleasure of staying in one of the remodeled apartments and we were delighted! The view is simply stunning, especially at sunset. The snack bar offers a wide variety of delicious options that cater to all tastes. The location is perfect, with the beach just a 2-minute walk away!! The pool is great for a refreshing dip, always clean and well-maintained. The cleanliness of the apartments is impeccable and the staff is extremely attentive and friendly, always ready to help with a smile on their face. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for comfort and quality!

Fantastic Apartment complex. We stayed for a week (2 friends and 2 children). Considering the apartment was very reasonable we weren’t sure what to expect. Rooms were fresh and modern, lots of lovely extra touches (toiletries, coffee machine, washing up liquid and sponge etc) which you don’t always get in other places. The whole place was immaculately presented and house keeping work hard keeping the place clean and fresh. Pool area was lovely, very quiet and always loads of sun beds on offer. On a few occasions we were the only ones there! There was a slight blimp when we arrived. We were greeted by a polite and helpful young man who informed us there had been a mix up and the 2 bed apartment we’d book wasn’t going to be vacated until the following day. In which case for that night we were placed in a 1 bed with sofa bed in lounge. By way of compensation, we were given free breakfast the following day. The apartment was huge and again well appointed. We found the complex and the surrounding areas to be really quiet, we were told this was because it was the start of the season. It was a 10-15 min walk to the main resort which had 10+ restaurants and bars as well as the main beach. There is also a beach 50m away from the apartments, however that is accessed by 100+ steps (not buggy friendly). We got an Uber into Albufera a few times (this ranged from 6-10 euros each way. Although that was enjoyable, we were glad to return to the quieter and more chilled area of Ohlas de Água. Cannot speak highly enough of this complex, can’t wait to return.
