Check in is 16:00 and check out is 10:30 unless otherwise agreed.
Early check in? This will depend if there is a guest in your apartment on the night before your arrival. lf this is the case then the apartment will need to be cleaned before your occupancy. Once this is completed you'll be able to check in. Should you arrive early Alex can arrange to store your luggage while you enjoy the first hours of your time in Albufeira.
Late check out? Again this will depend if there is a guest arriving on your day of departure. If there is then we'll need to clean the apartment ready for their arrival so we would need you to checkout by 10:30. If your flight / transport is later then Alex can arrange to store your luggage while you enjoy some last minute activities.

Please see our calendar (1 bed or 2 bed) or check with Alan Tomkins and he'll advise you of the situation.
