Reviews TripAdvisors rate the Clube Praia da Oura a lush 4.5/5 and offer the Grangefield Oasis Club a 3.5/5 rating. Both Vera Beach Club and Royal Park Albatross received similar ratings. All in all I can be confident in saying that this is more than 3 star, more like a high 4 star hotel due to the apartment cleanliness, location and customer service. – Abul K on Clube Praia da Oura, TripAdvisor, Jan 2012 The hotel has become a little community with many coming back year on year and meeting up with old friends. – Anne R on Royal Park Albatross, TripAdvisor, Feb 2012 Close to the beach and to a large supermarket lots of local markets and local restaurants are plentiful, there are bars nearby but probably need to drive to find the best restaurants. – TimR0se on Vera Beach Club, TripAdvisor, Nov 2011 Fairly good place to base yourself to explore the coast. It’s about 20 mins drive to Marbella, 90 mins to Ronda, 30 mins to Malaga. – A380fan on Grangefield Oasis, TripAdvisor, Dec 2011 Vouchers from Groupon  Travel  Accommodation  Hotels  Travel Getaways  Hotels Getaways Further deals in this category 1. Cork One or Two Night 5 Stay For Two With VIP Spa Passes, Bottle of Wine, and Breakfast from €115 at Fota Island Resort Up to 55% Off 2. Three €59 or Five €89 Sessions of Laser Hair Removal on One Area Such as Bikini or Underarms at Forever Beautiful 3. One €69 or Two €119 Night Stay For Two With Breakfast and Three Course Meal at The Anner Hotel Up to 54% Off 4. €24 for Chinese Meal For Two at Imperial Chinese Restaurant Up to 53% Off 5. Round of Miniature Golf For One €5 or Two €9 at Rainforest Adventure Golf Up to 50% off Further deals in this city 1. County Mayo Two Night Stay For Two With Breakfast and Appetisers for €99 at Westport Country Lodge Hotel Up to 59% Off 2. County Sligo Two or Three Night Stay For Two With Breakfast, Seaweed Spa Bath, Appetiser and Wine on Arrival from €149 at Yeats Country Hotel Up to 65% Off 3. Spain, Algarve or Tenerife Seven Night SelfCatering Stay For Up to Four for €129 from Leisure Dimensions Up to 80% Off 4. Paris One, Two, or Three Night Stay For Two With Spa Access from €129 at Platine Hotel Up to 58% Off 5. Ibiza Four Night Stay With Bar Tours, Club Entry, Plus Boat and Pool Parties for €119 Per Person From Invasion Ibiza Up to 45% Off Further deals in Ireland 1. Ten Gym Passes With Pool Access for €19 at énergie Fitness Clubs 84% Off 2. Two Hour Kayaking Trip Around Ireland’s Eye for One €25 or Two People €39 with Extreme Time Off 3. Lunch With Tea €14 or Dinner With Wine €18 For Two at the Harvest Cafe in the Galway Bay Hotel Up to 56% Off 4. Microdermabrasion Session €35 with Optional Revitalizing Facial €39 and Eyebrow Shape €49 at Utopia Up to 76% Off 5. Two Months of Modelling and Etiquette Evening Classes for €99 at Lady Like School 60% Off Further deals in other categories 1. Garra Ruffa Fish Pedicure for €10 at XFeet Value €24 2. County Sligo Two or Three Night Stay For Two With Breakfast and Late CheckOut from €89 at The Pier Head Hotel Up to 59% Off 3. Bantry Bay Two Night Stay For Two With Breakfast for €99 at the Westlodge Hotel Up to 62% Off 4. South London Two or Three Night SelfCatering Stay For Up to Four With Welcome Hamper from  €226 at MAX Serviced Apartments Up to 76% Off 5. La Manga Club, Spain Four or Seven Night Stay For Up to Two, Four, or Six from €299 Up to 53% Off Similar deals from this merchant Spain, Algarve or Tenerife Seven Night SelfCatering Stay For Up to Four for €129 from Leisure Dimensions Up to 80% Off
