Pools

Stayed in April 2024

Couple of quirks such as having to pay 5 Euros for a beach/pool towel rental. Also when they say ‘heated pool’ it wasn’t the pool itself that was heated but the structure (which resembles a greenhouse) that is heated so the feel was of a sauna which also houses a rather cold swimming pool. One big disappointment was the buffet dining restaurant (Oliveria I think was the name). We went for the Asian night but were utterly disappointed. Food quality was more akin to cheap Asian takeout. Worst part however was the cutlery. The glasses in particular had a horrible smell to them.

Very good location, close proximity to the beach and the center of the city. Plenty of dining options at the hotel and in the vicinity. We stayed at the Apartments but you are permitted access to other properties such as Alfagar Village as well. Special shoutout to the Buganvilia restaurant which we visited multiple times as both the food and service there was exceptional. Plenty of options for entertaining the kids too. Magic shows, open mic nights, a football field, dedicated kids pool with slides, outdoor play areas etc

Nothing, our stay was perfect and we are rebooking for the same time next year!

What an amazing weekend trip away! Alfagar surpassed all our expectations for the price paid for 3 nights away (March 2024). When we arrived we were taken to the newer 'Prestige' apartments via the hotel's golf cart which our toddler enjoyed. The apartment itself was huge for 3 of us, and exceptionally clean with everything we needed for a self-catered stay. We visited the Buganvilia restaurant and ended up eating there for two nights, the menu had everything we needed and the house wine, beer and cocktails were excellent. The parks were a hit for our 2 year old, and the pools were great. The only downside was the kids play pools were shut at this time of year, but the water was very cold so probably wouldn't have had much use anyway. The highlight of our trip was the beach (down quite a few steps) which was incredible, and we had it to ourselves. Taxis to the Old Town were about $6-$10 using Uber, and we didn't have to wait longer than 5 minutes for them to arrive.

Breakfast could be better.

One of the best places I’ve been to in Portugal. Very beautiful views, well maintained territory and very pleasant walk to the beach. Very clean rooms. Perfect to stay with kids. It has a playground and plenty of pools. We stayed in Prestige apartments which had a huge balcony and nice view as well.

The location and the food

Stayed in December 2023

Apartment had two TVs with many channels to choose from which is huge advantage, although none of them had SmartTV with Netflix. This option should be accessible for guests that came for longer period of time or at least have this information (Lack of SmartTV) on the website so the customer can be prepared for it.

The location of the hotel is exceptional. Not only close to the beach, but the city itself is not far away. I highly recommend choosing an option with breakfast, the menu is versatile and also offers some alternatives for vegetarian guests. The live music at the restaurant makes this place magical and full of activities that made our stay so pleasurable and memorable! Not to mention that the staff is very helpful, quick and up to the highest standards. Everything in apartment had its place and was designed the way that it felt very comfortable, I would say that the atmosphere was carefree and intimate.

Service could be better. Kids club was not running unfortunately due to the season. But we stayed the week before in another hotel and kids club was running normally.

The room we stayed at Prestige was excellent! Plenty of space, very comfortable and kitchen very well equipped. We didn’t use the outdoor pools (due to winter) but they look nice. Indoor pool was great, kids enjoyed it. Breakfast was ok.

Would have liked to be on a higher floor for better views of the Lovely gardens and pool, we were on floor 2. Base of bathroom door showing water damage, coffee table tired. All above very minor and did not spoil our stay

Size of the apartment, kitchen facilities. We chose one of the older rooms as it has a bath (can't soak in a radox shower) and it was way better than our expectations. November was not balcony weather but it was very latge, sun loungers and dining table provided with lots of spare room to move around. Outside areas looked great. Reception staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was as expected in a buffet style, we enjoyed it.
