We normally stay at smaller hotels/apartments so came to the Alfagar with a bit of trepidation. However that was shortlived once we arrived. The apartment, like all in Portugal, was well equiped and spacious with 2 balconies. Ours was over the small shop and was a little noisy in the mornings but nothing too intrusive. Plenty of room arround the... more

The room was brilliant plenty of room and very clean The gardens and surrounding areas were maintained to a high standard and were a pleasure to walk through.

The complex is also just a short (very steep) walk to the beach. We found the... more

Location - 9/10 Staff 8/10 Room 3/10 Despite the negative comments regarding staff on previous postings we found them to be excellent.

Despite these negatives the... more

Wow what a week! I travelled with my Wife, two kids, 3 and 8 years, my stepsister and her fiancé.

We arrived 2 hours before first check... more
