+Great location, views from the balcony were amazing, We were met on arrival with a super warm welcome, Lovely pool area. Apartment had great facilities, washer drier etc, good air con.
−Just a personal opinion that the sofa was uncomfortable and the outdoor furniture needed new cushions and maybe loungers or a small table and chairs outside,

“A great stay, two-minutes from the beach”
+Perfect for a young family holiday, 2-mins from the beach with a pool. The apartment has a separate area for the little one to sleep and for the parents to enjoy the view.

“Fabulous location”
+Such a fabulous location and apartment. It contains everything you need and more. The apartment accommodated our family of 4, (2 teenagers, 2 adults) comfortably. Bath and beach towles, salon style hairdryer (u dont need to pack your own), fully equipped kitchen, dining table & outdoor furniture. Very clean pool area with ample sun beds and umbrella's. 2 mins stroll to gorgeous beach with two beach bars/restaurants (one Thai style, highly recommend & open til late). 20 min walk into old town via boardwalk on beach. Ubers very cheap if you don't wish to walk, but everywhere is walkable (old & new town) We strolled back to the apartment a good few times from the Marina, (through the oldtown and back to the apartment via the boardwalk) of a night. Gorgeous restaurants 'The Clay Oven' Indian restaurant, 'KingYo Restaurant' Chinese restaurant, Jack's (at the Marina, Irish bar/restaurant) to name a few. Highly recommend this apartment, will definitely be returning to this apartment. Shout out to Ramash for arranging our transfers and to Holly for keeping in touch to ensure we had a pleasant stay. 😀
−Nothing, it met all our needs.

“We loved our stay!”
+The location of Quinta Barracuda is superior - great balcony view of the old town Albufeira and the ocean. This is a condo hotel (i.e. each room is privately owned). Great swimming pool and plenty of tanning stretchers. Plenty of space. There is an AC is in the room, but we only used it in the afternoons as nights tend to be cool even in July and ocean breeze is very pleasant to sleep with open windows. In the corner of pool yeard you can find a small gate (requires fob to open) which leads to the path which is only 250 meters (this was huge for us as we had one kid with limited mobility!) from the great beach (you don't need to exit the hotel at the main gate to get to the sea). Fully equipped kitchen and extra futons if you have more people to accomodate (or kids in our case). Plenty of restaurants just steps outside the hotel. The property's yard is taken care and was clean. The old town and grocery stores are at some distance from the hotel, but we knew that ahead of time. If you have a car this is not an issue. Otherwise may need to call Bolt/Uber/Tuk Tuk or walk for few hundreds meters.
−Getting stable temperature in the shower was a challenge (I suspect the mixing valve). Bathroom sink water was poorly drained. The stove in the kitchen was impossible to make work when we tried to make a scrambled eggs in the morning. We ended up cooking eggs in the microwave. Garbage (trash) is outside the main gate of the hotel on the street and you will need to take it out yourselves (not an isssue though - we sent one of our teens).

“Old Town is a 20 min walk or you can catch a cab at the Taxi rank at the end of the road for €5 or take the bus or Touri”
+The property was in a great location, walking distance to many restaurants, shops and the beach is 2 mins away. The apartment has everything you could need and the balcony is a great size and the view to the beach and across to Old Town is amazing. Great sunsets too!
