  • marion from glenrothes reviewed the Alfamar Beach and Sport Resort Hotel

  • "This hotel seems to be a favorite with the german holidaymakers, when we were there the percentage would be 80% german and the rest mixed nationality, if you do not mind sharing the facilities with ignorant germans then this is the place for you,they will barge you out of the way to get to the front,stand in front of you when taking photos ect ,the hotel has very poor room facilities you cannot even have a kettle in your room as this seems to be against safety rules, if you are looking to watch telly at all the room has 1 channel bbc world news we did not go on holiday to watch the telly but it is good to come in after being out all day to relax and watch telly for an hour or so before dinner ,telly in the downstairs bar area only seemed to show football from spain ect , we had a wonderful view from our room which made up a bit for the lack of facilties ,a great beach only 100 mtrs from hotel was another bonus ,if you want to visit other areas near by you may want to hire a car , we visit portugal around 3 times a year this is a good location if you want a quiet holiday"

  • Top Tip:

    "the dourada restaurant in nearby olhos do agua gives good value for money meals

  • "This Is was a great holiday with great service at hotel and great food. Found great bar just outside hotel grounds. Also please visit Honey farm only 2kms from hotel. Beach yards from hotel. What more can you want from hotel. Only downside a large group of british Tennis players arrived who were out drinking to early hours of morning staff didn't seem both about the noise they caused."

  • Martin from Stalybridge reviewed the Alfamar Beach and Sport Resort Hotel

  • "This hotel is advertised as 4 star accommodation but it fell well short of what I would expect from such a rating. The room and the meals were basic. The hotel caters principally for a German clientele so the food reflected this as did the TV stations available. We only stayed one night and that was enough!"

  • Alison from High Peak reviewed the Alfamar Beach and Sport Resort Hotel

  • "The hotel was fine. I had quite and large room with a good size balcony. The hotel was generally clean and tidy and set in a fairy large attractive garden. The pool was good and outside towels were provided at no extra cost. I don't think that the food was four star however there was plently of it and for a short stay of upto a week would provide enough variety."

  • Top Tip:

    "It only takes about three minutes to walk down to a very clean beach. A car would be required if you wanted to visit restauants and places of interest."

  • Graeme from Annan reviewed the Alfamar Beach and Sport Resort Hotel

  • "We were upgraded just before we travelled to half board at the hotel which was very fortunate for us , as it saved on the cost of eating out and the variety and choice on offer was excellent as was the service in general . The hotel was spotless and very smart and our seaview was breathtaking and the beach was less than two minutes away . The sporting facilities were less than advertised ( would have been disappointed if i`d intended using them ) and the bar was quite expensive but overall would recommend this for couples or older people looking for a quiet relaxing holiday ."

  • Top Tip:

    "Dont ask hotel to book taxis for you ,they use an executive service costing 50% more than local companies . Small restaurant/bar down from hotel was a lot cheaper for drinks too and had a cheap pool table which kids enjoyed"

  • IAN from CHORLEY reviewed the Alfamar Beach and Sport Resort Hotel

  • "Stayed 6 nights half board at end of June 08, couple in early fifties.
    Hotel is right on Beach. Very quiet area.Nothing at all close to Hotel, you need a car like we had. Portugal is good place to visit, great beaches, but expensive.
    Food was ok, but nothing special. Sea view from our room was super.
    No pool for kids so they are all in the main pool. Not enough sun beds.All taken by 9am so be quick. Not many English speaking visitors.No minbar or tea making facilities in rooms.Towels are provided for pool and beach use. Hotel suits families much better than couples. Large grass area in grounds near pool with plenty shade.
    Entertainment was ok on just some nights. Hotel including reception, bars and restaurants were all too hot, didnt seem to want to put air con on. Air con in rooms was not adjustable for temperature.
    We enjoyed our stay, but would not return."

  • ian from surrey reviewed the Alfamar Beach and Sport Resort Hotel

  • "Stated on your web site that there was a childrens play area and free basketball, this was not avalible at this hotel. The receptionist said that your bedroom information was out of date. The third bed was a small camp bed which proved to be very uncomfortable for the third person. Dinner was at 6.30pm and not at 6.00pm as stated on your web site and that extra half an hour makes a lot of difference to a child!!! The outdoor pool was so cold that it was hardly used and the indoor pool was small, dark and lots of the tiles were loose in the pool, as a result we got cut hands and feet. Apart from the above everything else was great."

  • Amba from Reading reviewed the Alfamar Beach and Sport Resort Hotel

  • "Great hotel, the only problem i would say would have to be with regards to the availability of food/snacks. As we were only bed and breakfast we did not have the dinner buffet, we often went to the little restaurant down the road from the hotel (didnt look like much but the food was great) The were no places within the hotel to get a snack after 6pm, which was a bit of a downfall."

  • "The hotel was very nice views great easy access to the beach. there were areas hich were out of date such as indoor swim pool area. Jacuzzi was great but only 1 was working. Hotel was not displaying any local places of interest but staff was helpful front desk. Receptionist very pleasent specialy Isabell. Dinner graet lots of choice breakfast also. Went out of season not everthing was in operation. Beach brilliant safe and clean just minutes away.
    If you go to this hotel and have kids book to go to z00marina ask for taxi cost 23Euros pleasenet taxi drivers mainly mercedes benz, worth it. Buses are around much cheaper just didi not want the hustle and bustle knowing that im on holiday.
    No where close to the hotel to eat bit of the track and beet but relaxing.
    Got to go to gypsy market well worth a browse.Nice day out eat drink catch taxi 23 Euros. Will go again.

  • Kim from Newcastle upon Tyne reviewed the Alfamar Beach and Sport Resort Hotel

  • "Having visited the hotel in 2006 I was disappointed to find some changes to extort additional money - i.e. a fridge was an additional 6E per day , air conditing was also on top along with a cost for the safe - all of which you have to request at the extremely busy reception where being able to speak Portuguese gives you priority. The kids club was also no longer free but a 10E cost per day. The location is still fantastic if all you want is a beach & pool holiday and the food is also good but I wouldnt now choose to stay there again."

  • Carol from Gillingham reviewed the Alfamar Beach and Sport Resort Hotel

  • "We enjoyed our stay at the Alfamar. The food was good, the grounds very well kept and rooms comfortable. TV channels were German or Portugese with the exception of 2 news programmes in English - nothing else. Although there were plenty of sunbeds, there should have been a lot more as we had the age old problem of not getting one all through the holiday but we ended up on the beach which was lovely. We were charged for the sunbeds on the beach which I think was unfair and, as hotel guests, should have been free. The beach was clean and great fun as, at certain times of the day, big rollers would come in. Bigger kids loved it but maybe a little unsafe for tiny ones."

This year was a lot busier than usual and due to a recent takeover the new buyers have changed some aspects that we are not so happy with. Despite that it is in a wonderful location with a beautiful beach. To be honest a car is a necessity as it is quite a way out."
