Almar Hotel Apartamento

Se ti piace sentirti degradato e stare in un posto che rispecchia una cella di prigione, questo è il posto che fa per te. Siamo arrivati ​​dopo aver viaggiato per oltre 12 ore per essere accolti da un manager molto arrogante ed energico alla reception. Dire a ogni persona che soggiorna nella struttura (4n.) che era necessario versare un deposito cauzionale di 150 € prima di entrare nelle camere. Qualcosa che non è mai stato spiegato al momento della prenotazione del viaggio. Sono state inoltre delineate norme rigorose sul rumore e sul "divertimento", anche se il viaggio era basato sul golf e non sull'aspetto della vita notturna. Ci hanno dato due camere nel seminterrato dell'hotel che per esperienza sembravano stanze dei lavoratori. Erano entrambi molto semplici e scuri e non offrivano l'atmosfera di un hotel per le vacanze. Con nostra grande sorpresa, l'hotel non offriva aria condizionata, anche con un caldo di 34 gradi. Ogni notte la porta dell'hotel era presidiata da un manager molto scortese e arrabbiato che ti faceva entrare e uscire dall'hotel a sua discrezione solo dopo le 22:00. Anche la colazione che fa parte dell'accordo era pessima e sembrava che fosse stata masticata da un gorilla prima di essere calpestata da tutte le 20 opere dell'hotel. Non lo consiglio 🤦‍♂️ L'unica parte positiva dell'hotel è stata la gentile signora dietro al bar che ha fatto di tutto per assicurarsi che ci divertissimo perché dopo tutto avevamo pagato per essere lì 👍🏼 Non lo consiglio e condanno completamente il modo in cui siamo stati trattati. Cella di prigione molto altro da offrire 💩

Arrived at hotel with no idea what it was like, old dated place but clean and tidy. Very inconspicuous entrance hard to see, but near to old town. Stayed for 7 days very quiet, had a nice pool, with adequate sun beds. Nice polite staff. No eating or drink facilities. A major problem was the fact that we had to pay 150 euros each on arrival. Me at 75 yrs of age and my nephew and friend both middle aged, total 450 euros. When asked why, was told it was policy in case of damage. We were hardly going to run wild but our ages and minimal protest fell on deaf ears, ie no money no room. We had money returned on departure. Not a good welcome and in my mind unnecessary especially for a family arriving with a set budget.

Clean hotel with 24hr reception, you will need €150 refundable cash deposit which *********** don't tell you about. Balcony with garden view, kitchenette was well equipped, clean and functional, there was no corkscrew to open wine bottles (Portuguese don't do screw caps) no spatulas or non stick frying pan so fried eggs were a disaster. TV, dining table & chairs and 2 seat sofa bed in lounge. Beds comfortable but bathroom was looking tired, that said shower was hot & powerful. Pool area was lovely with views of garden and the sea, pool was clean and warm. Lots of parking outside, bars, restaurants ATMs and supermarket all within 20 meters. Old Town 10 mins and The ***** 15 mins walking distance. Aldi, Lidl and Pingo Doce all nearby. Would use this hotel again.

Definitely not 3 star . Antiquated bathroom and kitchen facilities, there was actually a plank of wood locking sliding patio door ,very poor cleaning, we were in ground floor apartment , not a good choice as rodents could be seen roaming around garden area at night, manageress and reception staff were arrogant and rude ,had problems getting cash deposit returned on safe, Probably one of the worst apartments I Holidayed in a very long time.

We booked this last minute as we wanted a little 4 night break away. We were looking for something close to the Old Town but that wasn’t ridiculously expensive for the purpose we wanted it for. Well what a pleasurable stay we’ve had. The hotel is extremely clean, our room size was perfect and equipped with everything we needed including the small little extras like a hair dryer and iron. -We chose to do Self Catering although I believe you can have bed and breakfast. Cute little pool bar when you can have ice creams, cold and hot drinks, snacks and small lunches. This is open 9.00-18.00. The pool is extremely quiet and the surrounding around the hotel are also very quiet, which was perfect for what we wanted! The staff are all friendly and welcoming and go above and beyond. I’d like to mention the lady who’s sweeps and mops round the pool in a morning and who works behind the pool bar is lovely and very hard working! She needs a pay rise! Less than 10 minute walk down to the beach but lots of amenities and shops just outside the hotel. Would 100% stay again!
