TripAdvisor Review
Not what it used to be !!!!

Have been coming here for 20 years and loved every minute of it took a break and came back, and will never be back, servitor you have ruined it, the cleanliness at pool area, small glass for lager people don't use small glasses they use pint glasses the cleaners are not what they used to be, the entertainment is shocking all acrobatics used to be singers and all different entertainment, entertainment crew the mic never worked I was embarrassed with it all. You are missing bingo and Gazza. Three of my family took unwell the night they arrived home and my brother and sister in law came Over and he took unwell , 4 days in bed, total waste of a 2 week holiday. You need to seriously look at your hotel

Excellent hotel

Lovely hotel, this is our 2nd stay at the Altamar. A lot has been upgraded since our last stay in 2023. Staff are great, food is amazing for 3 star, always something for everyone. Beautiful views over the sea. Apartments are roomy with large balconies. We were allocated room 423b, we arrived at midnight and taken to our apartment, when we first saw it me and my husband said this is bad we will complain in the morning. On arrival there wasn't a balcony with table and chairs and no view but we were pleasantly surprised when we walked in to the kitchen/lounge with a shower room, walked through to a huge double bedroom with another shower room and a massive balcony! So if you get allocated this random room don't worry, it's amazing. 2 air con units, one in each main room. Staff were great, especially the animation team for the kids. One of the best holidays, thank you to all the.hard working staff at altamar 🙂

TripAdvisor Review
Pretty good

This place is decent, though there a couple of niggles.

First, the lifts are in high demand for most of the day. So, you can be waiting quire some time to take one. The fact that the hotel has placed benches on the corridors next to the lift doors on each floor tells you everything.

Second, the gym doesn't (officially) open until 8am. You can probably sneak in a little earlier if you want to, though.

There are no usable car parking places on site. You end up having to find a parking place on the streets nearby, usually within 1km away. That may sound like a drag but far better than booking taxis to and from the beach or, worse, climbing the hill from the beach every day.

On the subject of car hire, there's some real bargains out there if you look hard enough.

Conversely, breakfast is pretty good, the pools are warm, more than enough sun loungers, the kitchenettes are handy and the room AC works well.

On balance this is a good resort but you really need a car if you plan to visit the beach regularly.

Really good week in a beautiful spot

A great hotel , we had a wonderful week of sunshine . Food and drinks offering are really good , lots of choice . Room very spacious, balcony huge . Pool towels included . Entertainment team and shows kept us entertained. No air con in restaurant , can get very warm but you can sit outside lots of tables and chairs to choose from . Would definitely come back …..

Book sonewhere else!

Hotel position -A couple of mile from Puerto Rico, on a high peak with good views. A short taxi ride to the beach and town centre. Very steep climb even for able bodied. Get a taxi. They cost about €6 each way. SCORE 5/10

Lift (6 floors). Very small lift (piste style), with no air con and takes a while to arrive due to the consistent high use. There are ateps but can be slippery and a hell of a climb/decent! SCORE 0/10

Room - good sized room with separate shower and bedroom. TV didn't work and the gas boiler broke down on day 1. It was fixed withing the hour. Room and towels cleaned 3 times a week. SCORE 6/10.

Balcony - fantastic size, with table chairs, parasol and reclining chairs. SCORE 10/10

Food - disappointing! Not very warm and not much choice! SCORE 2/10.

Entertainment (ACTS) - worst I have seen! SCORE 0/10

Swimming pools - Plenty of sunbeds but crammed closely and not cleaned. Pool show signs of decay. SCORE 4/10.

Staff - friendly and work hard, especially chasing the pidgeon's out of the restaurant! SCORE 7/10
