Some of the reviews for this hotel make me wonder! For example, what a cheek for the hotel staff to expect you to speak in Spanish - in Spain as well!! Why would you want a mini bar in your room? Drinks are available everywhere in Playa D'en Bossa and its surely not too difficult to take a couple back to your room to tide you over until breakfast.?
We stayed here last summer, after staying at a sister hotel in Es Cana the previous two summers. I have to say this hotel is very good value for money. Unless things have changed this year, the food was always varied - something for everyone.Location can't be faulted, rooms fine (it is a 3 star hotel). We tend to go out in the evenings so can't comment on the entertainment, however we find plenty at Murphys bar, Bora Bora, etc. Three weeks and we will be back there - I expect it too be good!

I have just read the most recent review that has been placed regarding the Hotel Algarbe and I have to disagree on most points made.....My family have stayed here several times the most recent last summer....and none of us could fault the Hotel. yes I agree in places its like quite a number of the three star Spanish Hotels and could do with a little modernisation, but as for the food, we could not fault it there was something for everyone, rooms we found very clean, beds comfortable, and staff very helpful, anything they could do to help they would....

I think the place speaks for itself as it has many customers like ourselves who return year after year......

We will be returning once again this summer

Just returned from a week here, you get what you pay for, basic food, practically the same everyday, rooms ok beds not comfy at all no mini bar . Maids were very rude constantaly knocking on doors even when do not disturb sign was put up, and making us move out room for them to clean, also expected us to speak spanish??also cleaning was not very thorough .The location probably the only good thing about the hotel.Found the staff on reception and in the restaurant very rude , very bad attitude , never smiled when asked a question replied with blunt answers or did not even look up, having never experienced this before in a hotel we were surprised.agree that hotel needs a complete overhaul including new staff!

Just came back from a 2 week stay at the hotel. The hotel is lovely, cannot complain about the hotel in general just the entertainment and the steps going down to the pool. The only way down to the pool is by a flight of steps which is hard work if you have a buggie or wheelchair (This is not mentioned in the brochures). Entertainment is poor and needs reviving.
The rooms are lovely and clean and the beds are big. We had a room facing the pool and the beach which was great.
There is building work opposite the hotel, which was a shock when we got there but after a few days we forgot they were there and it didnt ruin our holiday.
There is plenty of choice in the restaurant and you cant complain about the fresh meats every day.
ONE TIP IF YOU ARE GOING, TAKE THE ALL-INCLUSIVE CHOICE- 17EUROS FOR ALL DRINKS AND LUNCH AND 12EUROS FOR JUST DRINKS per person per day. Its well worth the money as drinks are quite expensive. We saved a fortune.
The hotel is right on the beach. (Watch out for the italians, nightmares, dont like sharing lifts and sit on your laps around the pool).
