AlmaVerde Village & Spa

I stayed here for a week. On arriving I had a very warm welcoming by the staff. I loved my room which had tea making facilities and a small fridge for my wine on an evening. I could see the sea and the room was very peaceful. There was a good range of food for breakfast and everything was fresh. The staff made me feel welcome and always spoke which I think is important especially as I am a solo traveller. The hotel is about 5 minutes walk from the beach. There are local shops nearby to buy fresh fruit and cakes plus lots of extras. I loved my stay here and will definitely be returning before Christmas .

Reasonably close to the beach- only 10 minutes walk. The staff looks quite friendly and helpful if you need tours and local attractions. Though payment to the staff for their share of the tour have to be in cash, beware. Rooms on the lower floors do not have any view and you hear noise from nearby bars up until midnight. Aircon is very noisy and blowing directly to the bed - we were lucky it was not very hot and we did not use it. I can't imagine using it at night. Basic breakfast, no restaurant unless you are boarding or you are special friend of the manager.

I can't provide a personal review of the hotel myself since it was one of my friends who stayed there. However, I can certainly comment on the prices at the pool, which I found to be a total rip-off. The hotel owner seemed very friendly and offered my friend the opportunity to invite his travel companions for a day by the pool. However, the owner failed to mention the €10 entrance fee per person (there were 11 of us in total). To make matters worse, they charged an exorbitant €10 for a portion of "Home made" potato fries, consisting of only 8-10 pieces. For 6 portions, we ended up paying a staggering €60! This pricing is outrageous and clearly a rip-off. I struggle to comprehend how the owner expects to retain customers or receive positive recommendations with such inflated prices. We would have been more inclined to recommend the hotel if they had more reasonable and "normal" prices. Stay away!
