Good Points

- Rooms are clean and wonderfully airconditioned and serviced.
- The grounds are immaculate.
- The swimming pool has endless loungers and the grassy areas are cleaned often and in great condition.
- The staff, contrary to all reports we have read, are multi-lingual, friendly and helpful (as long as you are to them)
- The hotel offers free buses into town through-out the day.
- The hotel has its own beach, something most hotels on the Algarve can not boast.
- Tour operators run excellent tours with pickup and drop-offs straight outside the hotel.
- The salad and seafood served are fresh and delicious.
- They offer shower rooms and food and drink all day on the day you check out (we checked out at 6pm and still had the all-inclusive part of our trip until we physically left)
- The waiting staff are very efficient and always helpful.
- The food IS endless and the cake/dessert selection is world-class.


Bad Points

- Entertainment is poor. Most shows end after 30 minutes and come 10pm the place is dead. Ensure you bring a laptop with dvds like we did for night time!
- Do not stay for 14 days! Come 7 days the food was making its way back round to the start of the menu again.
- The meat is cooked in bulk which lead to blandness and lack of presentation.
- The hotel is isolated, so ensure that the beach, pool and bar is as far as you want to venture without booking tours.
- The bar only offers one type of beer and this was weak at best.
- The juice and soft-drink is sub-standard


General Comments

All up, the Aquamarina Beach Club is a four-star hotel, but lets itself down a little with the en-masse cooking of main meals and poor quality soft-drinks and juice. A 7 day trip here is recommended however and if you have already booked, don't fear as we loved our 7 day relaxation holiday, spent by the pool, playing mini-golf and organised trips into town.
