Alcalar Vacations from $957

Greated by a very friendly reception team. From then down hill! Greater for breakfast and lunch struggled to even ask for your room number, made to feel an inconvenience more interested in her phone and talking to colleagues. Evening great great remember our room number after 1 evening and greater with a big smile. Lady at the bar around the pool very welcoming. Hotel full off middle aged men playing golf and when not playing getting wasted on the all inclusive menu, felt at times like you were in the middle of stag parties when they weren’t playing golf. Not really appropriate for families and kids at this point. Hotel is now dated, visited years ago and apart from reception being updated the rooms are not, furniture and rooms are tired and need money spent updating. No tea and coffee facilities in the room, that’s not 5 stars! Sorry certainly not how I remember and won’t be going back! Lots of better hotels to choose from on that coastline trust me!

An all round lovely hotel with very helpful staff and service

This hotel was wonderful !! The property is gorgeous and the beach is stunning! The hotel is very well kept, super clean, and well organized. The restaurants are great. Breakfast buffet was great options and quality and dinner options were amazing. Cocktails are the best! Properly made not just syrup. The pools were clean and actually heated. My kids loved playing. Overall a wonderful place to stay.

regular visitors 2x year -good to see friendly faces all over property -bars restaurants pools etc we like because do not need car with choice of dining options on site plus beach venues via friendly shuttle service .we dined at Adega twice in our week and were a bit disappointed by food and slow service-night 1 tempura green beans were poor -batter very thick -but clams and chicken were good -night 2 roasted mushrooms were tepid on service ?symptom of service issues -we noticed young couple leaving before being served after long wait ! I had sucklng pig special -very disappointing -skin far from crispy but more seriously very carelessly butchered -in number of largish pieces but quite a number of small pieces of bone -not a problem for me but offputting and dangerous for some -choking?Biggest issue is very slow service -its busy but seems to have decent number of staff but some seem to have very restricted tasks so less value than normal staff might be .we have mentioned before but doesn't seem to improve -maybe need more hands on overseer ! Arte Natica is delight -friendly longstanding staff -maitre d'a real pleasure -good wine pricing -Alloo vinho verde 27e bottle against cheapest entry level in other places of vila vita special 35e-excellent couvert -tuna pate pickled carrots good oil and bread -oysters very good and stuffed crab shell terrific while good chicken . Praia Dourada -Alloo wine on list @27e john dory goujons and red beef curry and great rice -

This hotel is so nice with the loveliest of staff. Totally recommend it
