Reviewed By martynabailie

I would definitely recommend the hotel for families with kids, kids club makes it so attractive for them. They have plenty of activities, during our stay we’ve seen birds of pray show and reptiles show, bouncy castle and park activities . Hotel is extra clean and the stuff is friendly. You have a private access to the beach, beach towels are provided.

Beautiful apart hotel about 10 mins from the old town . Lovely and quiet . The hotel is spotlessly clean . Pool area spotless . Location is wonderful . Apartments are large we had one overlooking the pool definitely worth asking for this we also had sea views . I would highly recommend this place To anyone considering it . We had a one bedroom apartment . Plenty of beds around the pool with lovely cushioned overlays . The pool was a bit cold but I imagine it warms up as temperatures rise . Small area to hang stuff to dry on the balcony but u might need a few clothes pegs so your smalls don’t blow away lol . Shower is really good pressure . Beds are comfortable . Plenty of well appointed sockets. Kitchen has a great array of utensils if you wanted to cook . There a microwave and two ringed hob . They provide tea towels . Hairdryer in bathroom (if you are blessed with thick long hair bring your own dryer ) Decent sized balcony table and chairs . There is a shopping centre within three minute walk and it’s quite big currently undergoing some construction but this doesn’t affect the shopping . There is the fabulous Riveria bakery as part of the hotel amazing array of confectionery and nice light lunches . Great value for money . The bar is lovely it’s quiet . The only downside and this is s small peeve the hotel is cash only at the bar and pool which is a bit of a pain as so few people carry cash now . And you have to pay for wifi it’s 10 e per device per week with options for shorter terms but in this day and age why charge for it anyway ?? I will definitely return here we had s fabulous time ….. all staff wonderful

Alfagar Alto da Colina

Great family hotel with young kids

Reviewed By Mairead M

Stayed here at the end of May with our 4.5 year old son. We were dropped off at Alfagar but they took us across the road to Alto da Colina - its a large resort with 2 main hotel, a road running between them. Both hotels have pretty much the exact same facilities. We were initially in a 1 bed apt, which had a single bed setup in the sitting room. We were moved to a 2 bed 2days into our holiday and it was great - very big, very clean, large balcony with table and chairs overlooking the pool and sea view in the distance. Kitchen had toaster/microwave/fridge/cooker/oven etc. Our room was on the 2nd floor just above the restaurant/bar area, it was a little noisy when the entertainment was on at night but we slept through it all! We were on half board, breakfast and dinner included - both were buffet and a great selection, the food was all lovely and a good selection of fruit and veg, also a good selection of desserts! Dinner was different every night. Only complaint is the coffee is awful and the glasses of wine weren't good either. Also dinner starts at 6.30pm, I would have preferred a little earlier for small kids. There are lots of different pools but we spent most of our time at the kids slides pool - this is great for kids probably up to about 8 or so, but really safe for younger kids. There is a pool bar beside selling coffee/drinks/food etc. You can rent towels for the week at reception at the hotel - 5euro for as long as you have it with a 10euro deposit. There is a playground which is nice/a tree trekking-zipline, archery, parrot show, reptile show - parrot show and reptile show are a little pushy on selling the photos. We got a taxi for 8euro to the old town in Albufeira (its not a walk) - walked the beach, the streets and had lunch etc. Nice for a morning. There is a spar when you turn left on the main road - has most stuff you'll need. There is also a mini market in the Alfagar hotel across the road. The Cafeteria bar in the Alfagar hotel has a lovely area out the back with a lovely view and lovely cocktails! There is also a lovely walk to the beach - there are some steps down to the beach but it was grand. We would definitely recommend for families and especially with kids under 8-10.

Club Med Da Balaia - Portugal

Da Balaia stands on an ochre cliff in southern Portugal, overlooking a magnificent white sand beach. The Resort allies sports and well-being in an outstanding setting. It's a world to unwind in, perfumed by the woody scents of parasol pines, olive trees and eucalyptus. Comfort and cosiness are to be found everywhere, even in the reception area where marble floors and deep red walls set the tone. This is a Club Med Resort where families, golfers and Spa enthusiasts live together in harmony.

Great place for families

Reviewed By erynnk2022

We had a very memorable family trip here. The setting of the resort perched on the cliffs above the beach was beautiful. I am relatively new to Club Mes holidays, so I don’t have much to compare with, but there was a great band proving live music on several evenings and this really added a lot of ambiance. Also the quality of the kids show really exceeded my expectations. Generally, I really felt that the resort staff did a great job creating a fun, lively atmosphere and I was surprised that even all of the evening activities felt totally family friendly.

Best Hotel From Plaja da Aro to Portamao. Should be 4 star!

Reviewed By lurkio

This is one of the best hotels, all inclusive I have visited from Plaja d Aro in Spain to Portamao. All the staff are happy and seem to enjoy working here. I had some lovely conversations with Maria, Tahir, Phillipe, Nicholas, Ricardo to name a few. We tipped regularly and got exceptional service. Rooms are dated but clean and immaculate. Our flight home last Saturday was cancelled and they had no availability but the lovely lady behind reception found a room that was in the block being refurbished. The food is fantastic, drink measures small unless you ask for grande. The grounds are immaculate, poolsare spotless. A few sunbeds need renewing, I was like an upside down tortoise in one. I am celiac but everything is labeled clearly. They do gluten free rolls. I avoided the soups and gravies but my wife loved them. The location is ideal, beautiful head land and beaches. Board walks to the old town and an uber to the escalators is under 4 euros. I'd like to thank all the staff for accommodating me and my daughter Easter and wifey for Whitsun. The entertainment team were fabulous and go the extra mile. Karaoke was fun the Dutch loved my Tom Jones and the wife's Corrs!omg and summer loving. Will be coming back.

Reviewed By Erin G

Hotel was immaculate. There was always a food option that we wanted to eat. Staff were wonderful and exceptionally helpful. Perfect location... 10 minute walk to beach, but plenty far away enough from the strip. Utilise the restaurants at the other sites which can be booked for free if you have gone all inclusive! Food at Aqua was amazing. Only comment would be to ask the staff to be more vigilant on people 'reserving' sunbeds with their towels. 2 days we went out to the pool area and were unable to get a bed due to them all being taken by towels, despite there only being 3 or 4 people in the pool for the 20+ empty beds reserved with towels. Other than that - exceptional hotel. Will definitely be using MGM hotels at other locations in the future.
