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

Thought that the interior fittings and furniture was looking somewhat tired and dated. The wooden tables etc. were very chipped and marked.

Quiet and Tranquil
Quiet and tranquil largely because of the absence of thru traffic, there was always plenty of places to park during my three day visit in April. The kitchen was adequately provisioned. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful.

The location was great, staff were amazing - very helpful and friendly. Great value for money, feel rooms need refreshing, decor is obviously tired, balcony wall needed plastering and painting but all perfectly functional and clean and as stated value for money.

We had a wonderful time in Olhos D'agua. The Oceanus fit our bill perfectly. Our room was kept impeccably clean by lovely staff. Not fancy but very comfortable...fun entertainment Monday and Thursday evenings.
I would definitely return and recommend to others.

A pleasant hotel
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.

A simple but clean hotel close to restaurants and a 10 minute walk to the beach. Rooms are a bit dated but overall a good budget hotel in a convenient location for touring the Algarves.

Poor and inconsistent internet, do not recommend property if you need internet for work. Was not allowed to take your own water bottle into the pool area, staff were rude about it.
