Spotlessly Clean . Food at Frankie’s restaurant 2 minute walk i s great

We’ve spent 2 weeks holiday at Areias village and thoroughly enjoyed it . The staff are very friendly and you can tell it’s a family run business they are very proud of .

Room - the room was very spacious and cleaned very well everyday

Breakfast - I highly recommend the extra cost for the hotel breakfast . Lots of choice buffet style

Pool area - lovely clean pool , it’s larger than it looks on photos but the only fault is there is not enough shade.

Location - the location is good , it’s between the old town and the strip . There’s a beautiful restaurant called Frankie’s a 2 minutes walk away . Turn right out of the hotel and it’s there on the right . Serves great food , staff are so friendly and has a ABBA night , Elvis night and queen tribute night on some nights too . Highly recommend Frankies .

Just a thought - it’s a shame the hotel doesn’t offer half board but if you’re looking for a great b n b then I think this may well be the best in the area .

Lovely Family holiday

We had a fabulous time, the hotel was lovely and clean the rooms are really spacious and the balconys are huge! The reception staff we lovely and so helpful nothing was too much...on our 1st night there were a group of lads shouting in the reception area which they soon sorted! The bar staff......this for us was the only let down! They are so slow and cracking a smile must be painful! They weren't rude as such but certainly made you feel bad asking them for a drink or food! Overall we would stay again!

Family Holiday

We have just got back from 11 nights at the Areias village . Appartments are really nice cleaned everyday and has everything in you would need for your stay. We stayed in 209 which is on the front. I have to be honest we did here noise from Kiss night club and it doesnt close until 6am so u will have unbroken sleep . Also i didnt expect as many groups of teenagers mind when we left this morning it was more familys . If u are travelling as a family defo go to the oldtown and the Marina. If u dont want to walk far try frankies which is down the street to your right as u come out the hotel staff are lovely and food and drinks are lovely also .If u carry on walking pass frankies u will come to a lovely beach . All in all we had a lovely holiday just next time would go for a hotel closer to the oldtown

Overall, we’d happily return

Just back from a wonderful 10 days at Aerias Village and we had a fantastic stay!

The hotel is just a 5–10 minute walk from the main strip, with plenty of great breakfast spots and lovely restaurants nearby.

For families, I’d recommend getting an Uber or Bolt to the Marina, as we found it much more relaxed and family-friendly. The strip is definitely geared more towards a younger crowd.

We couldn’t fault the hotel. Our room (310) was spacious and comfortably accommodated us and our teenager. It had everything we needed, including a kettle, toaster, coffee machine, fridge, cooker, and plenty of crockery and utensils.

The hotel is across the road from Kiss nightclub, but we honestly didn’t hear any noise from it during our stay.

The pool area is on the smaller side, but we never struggled to get a sunbed, even when arriving after 11am. There are signs stating that reserving sunbeds isn’t allowed, and this worked well at the start of our holiday. Towards the end, you could see some guests starting to ignore the rule, but tbh it still wasn’t an issue for us, there was always 2/3 beds empty.

The pool bar served decent food, and I’d definitely recommend the pizza!

Overall, we’d happily return. It’s one of the closest hotels to the strip while still being far enough away to enjoy a peaceful stay. Highly recommended!

Home from home

Booked this via Jet2 very last minute. So pleasantly surprised when we arrived. From reception staff and throughout our stay it was simply wonderful. Accommodation is fantastic for self catering and has everything that you need. Comfortable clean space that seems like home from home. Pool area is clean with comfortable sunbeds. We found the supermarkets close by quite expensive so it is about a 15 minute walk to the nearest one and 20mins to Aldi. There is also an amazing little beach to your right as you leave the hotel with a lovely little restaurant. Great base for catching the tourist train into the old town but again this is not a long walk. Would certainly return to these apartments if coming back to Albuferia. However, note it may be noiser in the summer if the Kiss nightclub is open.
