Stayed at the Elma for only one week May 2007, very, very small apts. (Not what we were expecting.)
Even smaller pool area, on our first visit to the pool, were were told off, by a apts worker, for playing bat and ball in the pool - the guy mumbled a few words then pointed to a sign which read no ball games allowed!
Please be warned, if you are staying here this summer 2007, construction work is being carried out on land right near door to the Elma pool area,(nothing to do with the Elma, so when you are lazying by the pool, you are aware of workmen watching you and also you have the noise of all the equipment going on all day long... nice and relaxing...not! Better to go to the beach for peace and quite...ball games are allowed here.
Christine and the cleaners seemed very friendly, but we did not see much of them, due to the above we did not stay in the apts or pool area.
On the good side, the Elma is in a good location, right by the beach and only a small walk to "the strip".
And no we will not stay here again, as we feel we paid far to much for the standard of this apts.

Just returned from two weeks at Elma Apartments. Cant praise Christine (Receptionist) enough. She was brill, changing our room in a flash, no ifs or buts, a mine of information on all things local.
Theres a great pool area spotlessly clean and a very reasonable snack bar area. The rooms are huge each with two bedrooms with en suite (toilet, shower and basin) in one and bath shower basin and toilet in the other. A must if you have children.
Lots of bars and restaurants although you do have to walk uphill to get to old town.

The Elma apartments are very clean, with a good sized swimming pool, which didn't get crowded while we were there in the last week in August. Christina at reception is excellent and will do her best to help you enjoy your holiday as much as possible. The Elma apartments are only short walk from a mini-market and the beach. I must reccomend the Panaccee restaurant which is joined on to the apartments. The staff are great with the children especially Jorge. We are thinking of booking there for next year already!

We stayed in the Elma apartments in June of this year.
The apartments were very clean and the staff were very helpful and told us the best places to eat out.
The local bars and restaurants were very good value. We would recommend Laura's Karaoke Bar just around the corner from the apartments which is very children friendly and they do a wonderful full English breakfast.
We would highly recommend these apartments for family's, in fact we have already booked again for 2006.

We found this hotel to be very clean, the staff were wonderful especially with the children. It is situated approx 1 mile from the Strip in Montechoro and approx 1 1/2 mile from the old town of Albufeira, both walking distance. The facilities are excellent for the children, the pool is very clean and the views are great. The beach is a 5 minute walk away and is superb. I would not have any hesitation in recommending these apartments to anyone. We would certainly visit again.
