"They greeted us with umbrellas when we arrived with a hard rain. We stayed when it happened to be my wife's birthday. We tried to buy a small cake, but they made us a good complimentary cake. Thank you so much for the good service!"

Flamingos Salgados
10/10 Excellent
"A great stay at this very modern apartment complex 👍
Booked a 6 night break over the Xmas period at good price via Expedia.
Flamingos salgados is in a quiet area in between the Albufeira Marina and Amerco de pera (Galé /Gui area) so a car is ideally required unless you want to use Uber or Taxis to get around.
The beach isn't far from the complex but due to the road designs and lack of pathways it's around a 2.5k walk or drive to reach.
This complex was only built in 2024/25 and to a high standard.
We had a 1 bedroom apartment with fully fitted kitchen, microwave, kettle, toaster, 4 ring induction hob, oven, fridge freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, coffee machine x2 (Espresso and filter drip) plus a good selection of plates, cups, glasses and cutlery.
There is a large balcony accessed from living area and bedroom that gets the sun all day from around 11am to sunset.
Reception spoke good English and where very welcoming plus they accommodated our early check in request. They also gave us a small sweet pastry present on Xmas day so this was appreciated.
A couple of things to note.
Underground parking is available at a charge (€5 I think), but free parking is available outside on street.
You will need to bring your own washing up liquid , kitchen towels, Tea cloths, coffee pods to avoid the frustration others have noted on some reviews.
Bathrooms have great rainfall shower but rest of the room is cramped a little with all the fittings.
