Almar Hotel Apartamento

Very nice apartments, absolutely spotlessly clean, yes bathrooms are outdated but so clean, lovely reception staff, great location. Will definitely stay here again. We really enjoyed it. Great size apartments. Within walking distance to old town, fabulous pool area.

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.

Was concerned after reading some of the reviews here. We had been booked into a Studio Classic room by OnTheBeach which was not what was requested, but that’s another story. We had the room upgraded to a sea-view balcony single bedroom and was very glad we did. The views are amazing. The room was perfectly good for a 3-star hotel. A little tired in places but very clean and regular cleaners every day. Hotel was being repainted while we were there and will look great by the time the summer season starts. We stayed at Easter so the pool bar wasn’t open and the pool, being unheated, wasn’t something we used but we did spend time on the loungers each day and enjoyed it. Staff very friendly and helpful, kitchenette was well stocked with cutlery and crockery. Emergency situation caused by lack of a corkscrew was swiftly resolved. Location is also unbeatable if you want to spend time in the Old Town - 10 minutes walk puts you in the main areas, and yet you are far enough out that it’s peaceful at night. Some amazing restaurants just out the door and Tuk-Tuks and Taxis ready to take you to the ***** if that’s your thing. Only downside really is the plumbing. The noise from a tap running or toilet flushing in the next apartment is very loud. So your sleep will depend on your neighbours. Actual ambient noise between apartments isn’t bad in any other way. Loved our holiday, would certainly go back.

If you like to feel degraded and stay in a place that mirrors a jail cell this is the place for you. Arrived after travelling for over 12 hours to be met by a very arrogant and forceful manager at the front desk. To be told each person staying in the property (4No.) that a 150€ safety deposit was required to be paid before entering the rooms. Something that was never explained when booking the trip. Strict regulations on noise and having ‘fun’ was also outlined even though the trip was based around golf and not the nightlife aspect. We were given two rooms in the basement level of the hotel which through experience looked like workers rooms. These were both very basic and dark and didn’t offer much of a holiday hotel vibe. Much to our surprise the hotel also didn’t offer any air con, even in the 34 degree heat 🤣 Each night the hotel door would be manned by a very rude and upset manager who would let you in and out of the hotel at his discretion only after 10pm. The breakfast which is part of the deal was also abysmal and looked like it had been chewed by a gorilla before being stamped on by all 20 works in the hotel. Do not recommend 🤦‍♂️ The only positive part of the hotel was the very polite lady behind the bar who did everything to make sure we enjoyed ourselves as after all we had paid to be there 👍🏼 Don’t recommend and fully condemn the way we were treated. Jail cell much more to offer 💩

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!

Large apartments. Nice pool. Close to amenities. I asked for lateral sea view which I could not see. Rooms 108/109 not very good as kept awake by a neighbor's yelping dog in the private properties next door.
