Fantastic hotel due to multiple pool options, restaurants, staff service and cleanliness. Only negative I found was the location. It’s quite a long walk to the beach in the heat and the hotel does not provide sun loungers or umbrellas. The beach can get very crowded so unless you bring your own ‘shade’ then expect to be roasted in the sun.

Beautiful resort property. The resort is large and provides direct private beach access which we really enjoyed. Numerous beautiful pools and a couple restaurants to pick from. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet. I had read some previous reviews indicating breakfast was chaotic - i didn't find it that bad at all. Staff worked hard to keep the dishes fresh and stocked. Did not try the dinner buffer, but had pizza from the Italian restaurant twice (very good). Overall, very nice and well kept grounds. Two minor items for improvement - The ropes course was not open (front desk indicated they did not receive their permit for this year) and the shower is due for a renovation. Would definitely stay again.

Great hotel for families
The hotel is great for families! This was our second time at the resort. Staff are friendly and helpful. This time we found the service at the bar very slow each time. Too many people were waiting to be served. Only 3 staff amongst 10-12 tables.

Fantastic holiday at the Alfagar alto da colina. Staff where all very helpful. Especially lovely lady on reception, borrowing us a tiny screwdriver to allow us to get a very unhappy 5 year olds new toy batteries 😊. Aria thanks you. Bar staff were lovely. Very friendly and attentive. The apartments are big and spacious, even the one bedroom we were in. Self catering option, with everything needed to cook basic meals. My only grumble was no freezer, and the tiny ice box in the fridge didnt freeze as no door, so kids couldn't have ice lollies on tap. We did a big shop at the local lidl 6 euro in an uber each way. We had a street view and the most beautiful seaview also. Could see the neighbouring coast line and beach. Very quiet area. A local shop with lovely pastry counter and coffee shop. Also mini Market at sister hotel. Both a short walk away. The kids pool and slides were brilliant. Kept kids happy for many hrs. Plenty of loungers also. Had a lovely stay at the hotel and would recommend it to families and couples wanting a peaceful stay.

It’s our 2nd time staying in the hotel and we love the resort in terms of the availability of entertainment for children (during peek times), the outdoor swimming pool, the ground floor apartment and how accessible it is to the pool. Few points to improve: Overall decor of the hotel needs a revamp We are a family of 5 and there was limited sauce pans and cookware for me. The Wi-Fi was not great even my 5year old complained This time around there were a few ants in the kitchen which I was not pleased about Also think that for the price that it is we should have the basics in the room (coffee, tea, salt etc) They should also have more entertainment even in off peak times and adjust according to bookings, we stayed in Feb this time around and there was a few children in the resort however they cancelled the parrot show due to the fact that there were not a lot of children in the resort, but there were. We really like the resort and will probably check in again even out kids love it now, but if things don’t get better we will probably gravitate towards other resorts in the area.

I was a little disappointed with this accomodation. Check in went smoothly. Paid extra to have a waterview room, however there was only a small view over and between other buildings. Was not worth the extra $$ for the view. The room had not been cleaned properly after the previous guests. The kitchen garbage still had the previous guests garbage in it. The outdoor pool looked wonderful, but was not heated enough to swim in. We did not use the indoor pool, as bathing caps were required for entry. We had an army of ants that occupied the bathroom. We killed several every time we used the bathroom. We had trouble with the heat and had to call for service as the room was very cold. The service man came within 45 minutes to fix the issue. This is a small apartment with a kitchen. We did not use these amenities as we were only here for 3 days. We opted for the half board (includes breakfast and dinner). Breakfast was average and dinner was average as well. Nothing that really stood out. Parking was close to the building. In the off season, it seems not much happening. It was a great location to head out from for sightseeing in the area. It would be handy if there had been Kleenx in the room. Also would be handy if there had been USB charging available for devices. This is hotel is showing it's age. It worked for our purposes, but was definately not a luxury stay.

We had a fantastic time at this hotel!! Great for kids as there is a water park included. It was quiet and family friendly. We had breakfast every morning and it was buffet style and it was delicious. When we checked in we got upgraded to a two bedroom apartment instead of a one bedroom. There was great entertainment in the afternoon and nights for kids. The bar food is also delicious. You can also have use of the other aparthotels so there is loads to do. The beach is a 10 min walk and there is a cheap supermarket within a 20 min walk. I really recommend this hotel and we cant wait to go back!! Only a tiny negative, the pools are freezing but once you are in its fine!
