Hotel Altamadores

We have just returned from a week at this hotel and can honestly say though small we had a big experience. The staff were fantastic with nothing too much trouble for them so friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the fact that it was relaxing and no petty rules and regulations you get in larger hotels as long as you made sure that your actions didn’t spoil the holiday for anyone else you could do what you want. We had our son and daughter in law and small grandson with us and we all enjoyed both pools so much our grandson would have stayed in the small pool all day if he could. Only draw back with our room which was great,because we had a terrace we had to keep curtains shut if we wanted privacy they could do with having double curtains one opaque but light the other to block out the sun. The food was good with the Canarian night the best

Just home after a relaxing week at this hotel. Arrived at 10.15 at night, starving as had missed dinner. After we checked in we were told to go upstairs to the restaurant to find they had put together a sandwich and fruit for us. This was so welcome after a long journey, and a really nice thought. This really set the scene for the rest of our stay. All the staff are lovely - very welcoming and friendly and work so hard. The hotel is spotlessly clean. Our room had a bedroom and separate sitting/kitchen diner plus a bathroom with shower and a large balcony with table, chairs and sun umbrella. This meant that it wasn't chore to stay in the room if you wanted to as it was more like a small apartment. The kitchen is fitted out with large fridge freezer, hot plate, microwave, sink, kettle etc. As the hotel is all inclusive we only really used the fridge but for families with children it would be great to have the option of storing and cooking snacks. A pack containing washing up liquid, clothes and tea towel was left in the kitchen and a pack of toiletries left in the bathroom. All inclusive food was plentiful and there was always enough to eat. Some days the food was better than others, but it was always easy to find something to eat. The self service bar is open 11 - 11. The pool is fairly small, but was reasonably warm, certainly much warmer than the sea. There are regular free buses running to Puerto Rico and Amadores beach. This beach is walkable - about 15 mins downhill - we always got the bus back up. We did not attempt the walk into Puerto Rico, I would imagine it would take around 30 minutes. I believe that in the high season there may be a small charge for using the hotel bus. I can really recommend this hotel if you want a quite, relaxing break. Perhaps it might be less attractive if you wanted to go out a lot, as it is reasonably out of town. However, the taxis are cheap.
