Pool closes at 6pm in the summer. Not great for someone with mobility problems. This is a complex with several buildings you have to 3 minute drive to breakfast.

Decent flat size, nice balcony. The only downside is there should be dishes cleaning products and the indoor pool isn’t heated

We were in the Oceanus for 3 nights in summer 2023. Overall it is clean, the staff very friendly. It is basic, the decor a bit dated but I would have no complaints. There is a lovely outdoor pool with all day food that is quite cheap. There is a kitchen in your room so you can cook in or eat in the many many restaurants. There are so many pubs and restaurants nearby and it is a very convenient base for so many day trips in the Algarve. It was maybe 40 minutes Uber from Faro airport. Finally the staff were excellent. Really really friendly. It’s also ten minutes walk from the beach.

Bien situé et près de la plage. La chambre était correcte, n’était pas au goût du jour, le confort des lits était très ordinaire et, l’air climatisé ne fonctionnait pas super bien. Le petit déjeuner était bien et le fait d’avoir des piscines était aussi un plus.

This is a great complex, clean,spacious apartments, lovely indoor & outdoor pools, close to all amenities, beach 5-min walk away, as are the buses & shops. Staff are all fantastic, always friendly & nothing is too much trouble. Olhos de Água is a lovely part of Portugal, safe & no trouble. Close to Albufeira, this is a bus ride away which has larger shopping, eating options, & perfect if you want the younger, day/ nightlife. Defiantly will return, this is a great area that has lots to offer. Perfect relaxing holiday destination

Our stay was brilliant - we were upgraded from a studio to a one bed roomed which was lovely. Jacquelina on reception was amazing and so friendly. The Oceanus Snack Bar across the road by the pool was nice and clean and the food was excellent. All the staff were very friendly. Will definitely stay here again.

This was a lovely hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The rooms were apartment stiyle and nicely sizeld. The balcony had doors to the living side and the bedroom. The beach was very easily accessible. There were a couple of small supermarkets the next road over (less than 100 meters) and takeaways almost as close. We got the breakfast option which was served at the cafe by the outdoor pool - not quite an English breakfast, but much more than a typical continental breakfast.
