Alfagar Alto da Colina

This hotel is a total hellhole, full of screaming, badly behaved kids, supervised by parents who think their brats are invisible or angelic. We've been here 1 night. Dreading the next 9. The ads said family friendly. We can't hear ourselves think for one minute. We have seen staff struggle due to shortages of workers, and we feel sorry for them. Breakfast, usually a time of calm to think about the day ahead. Not here, it's a total screamfest with parents trying to placate their little darlings. The food isn't dreadful in fairness, just the lack of a place of relaxation is driving us crazy. Staying in 114 in Block 2. Allegedly a garden view, in reality a car park and a very busy main road. Unless you want to be driven crazy, do not consider this hotel. We are trying to work out ways to improve our holiday that involves some peace and quiet.

Room was ready for check in 4 hours early! Lovely staff. Extremely clean. Great facilities. Large balconies and spacious accomodation. Kitchen in self catering well supplied but do bring your own sponge and cloth for cleaning as there is only a dish brush and fairy. Nothing to clean surfaces with in self catering which is a final detail. Good food and bar selection. Wonderful children's club... My little girl got to handle snakes, lizards and see an owl at the kids show totally free. Slides are awesome. The beds are soooo comfy and I'm a restless sleeper, slept like a baby and wish I knew their pillow brand! Pool very clean. Grounds extremely well maintained with beautiful views of sea and lots of trees and scenery. Access to a stunning beach. Comfy sun loungers.... This was one of our best family holidays ever and we travel a lot. The neighbouring village has great seafood restaurants just a €3 Uber away. I wish I had booked two weeks really. I love this place! I'll be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Unfortunately the have no kid's club for the Easter holidays, which was very disappointing as the hotel is for families & alot of families are staying between the 4 hotels. With the weather been so bad theirs nothing for them too do also the indoor pool is quite cold & the evening entertainment is 1 magic show & 1 paid photo animal show for the week between all the hotels . , wouldn't of cost much to have 1 mini kid's disco a day or some kind of line up for the Easter break. No complaints about the apartment s perfect & a large size . Outdoor pools look fabulous & clean if it was warmer

The resort is beautiful, so many pools, the gardens have a variety of plants and the staff takes very good care in maintaining it in top shape. The reception staff is fairly friendly and some speak very good English but the dining room is different. The food at The Palm is good, the breakfast buffet is worth the 12euros. There is a steep hill to get to the main road so wear appropriate walking shoes. All in all I would recommend this Resort especially if its to use the pool and the activity. February/March is pre season so can't comment more.

The resort is nice, fun splash parks for kids. Staff manning the slides which I liked. But of all the pools only one is heated and even it isn’t very warm. It’s under a perplex cover thing which has loads of bugs in it. No inflatables allowed in this pool. The other pools are lovely but there is no one in them because they are freezing. The staff at the resort are very nice. You need to get a taxi to the beach and decent restaurants. Cost about €4 in a taxi.

The food ,the staff ,the experience was simply amazing We went self catering but decided on the first night to upgrade to half board . One of the best decisions in my life . The food was plentiful. The bar staff were simply amazing couldn't do enough for us and plenty of variety for everyone . We enjoyed every minute of our stay and will 100% love to come back for the way the staff were alone . Thank you for such a lovely time for ourselves and our kids.
