Tripadvisor Reviews
Relaxing week away
Had an amazing week at this hotel. The view from the pool areas across the bay is something to see. We walked down to Amadores beach twice and also did the steps down to Puerto Rico Beach . Due to the afternoon heat we got a taxi back to the hotel. It is very easy to get around and all staff are very friendly to help you whilst you are there . Food throughout our stay was amazing something different each evening. Obviously there was some sane dishes as it is an all-inclusive buffet option, but we always found good food choice to eat from breakfast through to evening meal .
Towels on sunbeds
I'm here now it's our second day I noticed on first night on way back to our room as have to pass the pools that people putting towels out on beds or just leaving them at the end of the day to reserve the same beds for the next day. Which I thought was out of order something the Germans would do. But thought maybe there's always plenty of beds but I was wrong came down to find myself and my son a sun lounger walk around two pools not 1 sunbed free. Approached the lifeguard and he wasn't interested said about people putting towels down of a night to reserve them just shrugged his shoulders. Went to reception to complain to manager told him every hotel I've ever stayed in they have a rule no towels on beds before 8am or they will be removed. He replied that is there rule I replied it clearly isn't and your not enforcing it and that it's unfair to other guests who have paid the same money that they can't lay by the pool and enjoy there holiday. I thought his attitude was very unprofessional and didn't want to help. A bad start to our holiday
Lovely stay
We booked a stay here last minute as a family. We were a little worried after reading mixed reviews but had a lovely stay. Nice hotel, great pools, beautiful views, spacious balcony and apartments. Adam running the entertainment was wonderful and friendly. My kids loved the unlimited slushes and ice cream machine at lunch and tea. The food for a 3 star was absolutely delicious. So much choice, beautiful and fresh. We didn't have one bad meal. Great to have pool towels for no cost. Reception were lovely and helpful. Taxis easy to catch from outside the hotel. Lift was a bit slow at times but nothing major. Wifi hit and miss, but again nothing major. They could do with a few plastic tables around the sunbeds for you to put your drinks on.
Great place, worth more than 3 stars!
Ignore the critics! This place is above some 4 star places we have stayed. We found Altamar to be very good value for money. The food is varied and delicious. The whole place is constantly being cleaned. The staff are friendly and helpful. The beds are comfy and the rooms cool. Beautiful views. Kids love it. Not too busy. Great having a reasonably priced shop in the hotel. The lift is unusual, but adds to the charm! There are lots of steps, but it’s good as I haven’t done much else! Haven’t been to town (yet?) Didn’t struggle to get a sunbed. Would come again. Recommend!
Amazing hotel
Location is fantastic, 5 min taxi ride down to the beach, around 40 mins in a taxi from the airport. The hotel is a lovely size, not too big, but spacious enough that you’re not on top of each other. The balconies are huge and are how you access the rooms, no internal doors off of the corridors. The rooms were spacious and clean, with air con and ceiling fans. Rooms cleaned 5x a week. Pool towels are included. The only downside is the shower, the rooms are fitted with water tanks so if 4 people are showering it needs time to refill half way through. Not the end of the world as we showered the kids and then just waited 20 mins for us adults to shower, which by the time you’ve dried the children and got them dressed and teeth brushed, that times up anyway. The atmosphere in the hotel was great, all of the staff were friendly, helpful and polite. The whole place was spotless, any small spillage in the restaurant they cleaned immediately. The evening entertainment was in the restaurant and was ok, not the best entertainment in the world, but definitely not the worst either. There’s 2 pools, one which you’re not allowed inflatables in which always had sunbeds available, and the other inflatables pool which filled up quicker, however we always managed to find space. Plenty of parasols too. The food is by far the best we have had at an all inclusive, always something for everyone. Drinks were also great. There’s a spar shop on site, laundrette and kids club, as well as a lovely beauty parlour by the kids pool that did amazing massages (my 10 year old son had 2!)
There’s always going to be negative reviews of any hotel, however for the price that was paid we were really impressed. We’re looking to go back again in a couple of months.
I’d give it 8 bananas 🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌
