Aparthotel Alfagar

We have just got back from this hotel. We have never been to Portugal before and this was our 1st family holiday. The hotel itself was fantastic, could not fault anything, the room was clean and spacious, the cleanliness of it was really good, the pools were great. The only thing I could really pick on is lack of entertainment for Families/kids. Need more entertainment, more choice. They was 3 sister places and only 1 had entertainment on every night. The only other thing was inflatables in the pool. We were told they no inflatables were to be used in the pool and they were signs up around the pool. We didn't see any signs at all and after this information we wouldn't buy the kids any inflatables, so they then become upset when they seen other families using them. If this is the case it needs to be more clear upon arrival. we did also find we got lack of information too, we only found out as we were leaving to come home that the sister hotel over the road, which we could also use had more big water slides for the children. This info was given to us by another family. Apart from these daft things which can be avoided the place is fantastic, beach was gorgeous...

The outside areas are absolutely amazing and we loved it. Unfortunately we had Silverfish in the bathroom, no blinds to darken the room for our 10months old to take a nap and the door between the bedroom and living room could not be closed quietly, so when we put our baby to sleep we needed to leave through the balcony to not wake him which was very cold at night. The walls are also very thin so we could hear the chairs being moved during breakfast/dinner service, neighbours cough and talk

Stayed in the Prestige Hotel in a 1 bed apartment with sea views. The Apartment was excellent, clean modern, and amazing sea views. Complex is very big with about 5/6 different Apartment Type complex. 2 different buffer options and 3 other restaurants. we staying in July and it was full of family but lots of different pools so never felt crowded. Direct access to a beautiful beach down steps from the cliff edge.

We got back from here last night. Very sad to have left. It was our first visit to Portugal but won't be our last. The apartments were fantastic. We had a one bed, it was huge with a large sofa bed in lounge. You could have had a party on the enormous balcony. Everything you need for self catering in the kitchen. They were very clean too. I'm very very impressed. The pools are amazing, with plenty of beds, the beach is beautiful and the facilities great. Several restaurants, pool bar, water slides, 2 supermarkets and play areas all on site. I can't recommend this place enough! The only negative would be the lack of evening entertainment. Its very limited and mainly geared at very young children. We got Ubers into the old town most evenings.
