Altamadores Aparthotel

1 reader found this review helpful

My partner and I got this holiday on a late cheapy deal, and what a bargain it was.
We half expected to be miles from everything such as the beach and the centres, however we were pleasantly surprised. A 10 minute walk down to the Amadores beach, 15 minute walk to the Europa centre and a short 4 euro taxi ride to the main Puerto Rico centre.
The hotel was lovely, clean and with all the amenities in the room (just the lack of a kettle spoiled it slightly!).
Food in the hotel was cheap and convenient even though it’s nothing special... I particularly liked the bacon sandwiches!
Unlike the other reviews we didn't find that we were the only British couple there were a fair few.. Seems that word has got around about this little haven.
Building work is still happening next door however it is not an eyesore and is only really a distraction when sunbathing (music is played by the pool which slightly covers the sound and it doesn't disturb you in your room when sleeping and such).
I also have to add our rep was the best rep we've ever had on holiday, very considerate of everything.

If you want a holiday where your hotel is peaceful, clean, friendly and far enough from the hustle of the central resort, yet close enough to taxi or bus cheaply, then this is the place for you.
We were a little concerned when we saw that the apartments were at the very top of a steep hill, particularly as on immediate sight, you can see no obvious mode of transport other than car or foot. However, the views over Amadores Beach are wonderful, the complex is immaculately clean and the pool is big enough to accommodate without being overwhelming (there is also a small children’s pool).
Taxis are abundant at only 2 euros into Amadores, 3.5 euros into Puerto Rico. Bus stop to Amadores, Puerto Rico and Puerto Mogan right outside the apartments. Oh, nearly forgot, a Spar on site (yes, a real Spar supermarket!).
Bars and restaurants on Amadores Beach are a good mix of Canarian, English and other cuisines, and you can eat as cheaply as you wish, or splash out for a special occasion.
Amadores Beach is a man made, coral sand area, with clear, blue waters. Busy enough to be interesting, but not loud or crowded. Sun loungers 2.5 euros per day, parasols 2 euros.
We would definitely recommend the apartments, the resort and the island in general to all - a return trip is certainly on the cards! By the way, temperature never dropped below 30°C for the whole 2 weeks.....bliss.

Me and my partner came to Altamadores apartments in July and can honestly same I had the best time in my life, the staff were so friendly and helpful and the apartments were spotless not a speck of dirt any where.
I would recommend these apartments to any young couple as it is on a high hill and wouldn’t be very good for a family but if you don’t mind that don’t let it stop you from visiting this fabulous place.
We didn’t have any entertainment at the apartments but the CC Europe centre was fantastic and this is a great place for those who like to have a good time. We ate at the restaurant three times and the food was excellent, very nicely presented all the time.

We stayed in one of the 3 two bedroom apartments. These have no sea view, have a children’s playground in front and no private balcony/terrace. The apartment was a good size and very clean. There is no evening entertainment. The buffet is ok, not much choice and a bit basic - not many people eat there.
At weekends the complex is completely taken over by locals, which means it is impossible to get a sun bed, parasol and the pool is crowded. Building work has just started next door. Currently it is only one JCB excavating and lorries removing the rubble. But they do sometimes start work at 0500 and it can be noisy and very dusty. The staff are very pleasant and helpful.
Although within walking distance of some shops you will need to take a taxi or local bus to get to the main shopping/entertainment areas. Taxis are cheap but no always easy to get on market days (Tue, Fri) or at weekends.
