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!

Efficient check-in process, ample sunbed availability, and friendly staff contributed to a pleasant experience. While room cleaning was efficient, it could have been more thorough. Over the course of our week-long stay, we noticed that shampoo and bath gel were not replenished, and we had to rely on our own supplies. Despite this minor issue, our overall stay was enjoyable

Our room was very dated and bordering on shabby. Bathroom had tiles broken and grout missing. Shower was hardly useable. Kitchen had no cleaning supplies or cloths to wash the dishes. While we had a beautiful sea view, the music and partying from the bar down below until all hours was a major distraction.

Family hotel that is average in every way. Everything is ok, but nothing special. Pools are colder than the sea during April. Rooms and overall decor a bit dated and tired, but outdoor spaces in decent condition. Entertainment goes on late and is loud, but fun if you like that sort of thing. There is not much else walkable from the hotel but a short drive to some nice places like Olhos D’Agua.

Really good hotel for self catering, staff very helpful and friendly. Kitchen facilities particularly good! Only caveat is you would need a car for transport unless you want to walk long distances. Only issue with room, chairs uncomfortable and fragile.

Very poor English. 0 entertainment for the children. Main restaurant Food is awful, seriously awful. Taxi drivers will charge what they feel like charging on the day. Arrived post lockdown. I understand things are slow taking back off but this wasn’t advised on the website. No evening entertainment. No kids club. No high ropes. No amusement and supermarket was closed so had to use the spar down the road. Hotel is ok for getting your head down and staying out all day/evening. Indoor pool not heated. Outdoor pool ice cold. Snack bar food ok, little water park the kids enjoyed.

Our stay here was great. The resort had everything we needed to enjoy our time there. The apartment was very spacious, clean and comfortable. After travelling for 3 months this was just what we needed to chill out before the long plane flight home.

Great family hotel, away from the noise of Albufeira. We were half board and towards the end of the season. There was always a good choice of food the rooms were big if you get an apartment. The ability to use the other facilities in the other parts of the Alfagar “village” was a great plus. Staff were always good. Better if you have a car as well as this is a great base to explore from. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there

Very good budget hotel.
There were some cracked tiles in the bathroom which had a shower curtain rather than screen but other than that it was a nice big room with a good buffet breakfast. The beach is 15 minute walk down a steep hill so you won't be able to carry too much stuff with you on foot. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel isn't in albuferia itself so it is a bit quieter with fewer restaurants in walking distance. If you are expecting a boutique hotel you might be disappointed but if you have reasonable expectations I definitely recommend it.

Stayed here for a week in August 2019. 2 adults/3 kids. Room was spacious with 2 bedrooms & a large living room with pool and sea view. Room and whole hotel spotlessly clean. 3 pools and plenty of sun beds. Love that kids allowed inflatables in the pool. Only downside was location, a couple of nice restaurants within walking distance but taxi required to the old town. Taxi was about €13 with Uber to the old town.
