Almar Hotel Apartamento

Stayed here again after being there last year (2024) went back again this year (2025) as we had a great time. Location was great, apartments are fairly standard, kept clean, although I do agree with other reviews, the bathrooms really need a makeover. Other have stated they got a smell around the complex and was over run with flies, I didn't experience either. Pool was kept clean and pool bar was well run by Philomena.

Now for the bad part, we as a family stayed in room 203. Each night we'd sit out on the balcony having food or just relaxing. One particular night my partner and kids got a very strong smell of someone smoking drugs above, and they decided to come back into the apartment as the smell was overwhelming Just after they came in a large bucket of water was thrown down onto our balcony, which also went onto the balcony below us too.

I complained to the staff at Almar Hotel regarding the drug use and water throwing and the girl at reception said she reported it to her manager and managing director but they could not do anything that night as it was too late but would deal with it seriously the following day.

When I enquired the following day about an update I was told they spoke with the family above us and they said it won't happen again. I then informed them, we'd went out to our balcony that morning to find food items that were thrown down from the family above. The reply from the receptionist was maybe they were just feeding the seagulls. So we were basically fobbed off.

This is totally unacceptable behaviour for any Hotel to accept from anyone to do to other people who have paid good money. For Almar Hotel to allow other guests to disrespect other guests and allowing open drug use happen especially around kids is totally unacceptable, and for that reason, I would not return and would advise others to do the same

First couple of days apartment was fine then the flys came hundreds of them had to live out of of suitcases cause you couldn't keep anything hanging up informed reception gave us spray to spray no good on arriving home informed company I booked with to complain only to be told that when I complained there they said they moved us to another room and we were happy they were trying to say it's a hot country you get flys going to albuferia 20 years now never seen it before

We were lucky with the room we got it was room 409, perfect location with a nice enough view. One thing I will point out was all the flys in the hotel area but not too sure if that was just over the heat but I overheard a few guests saying there room had loads. Room was spotless & staff were nice & friendly. downside was there was no bar or restaurant at the hotel this time of year & my biggest issue was that it was only one key per room & you had to hand in your key every time you left the building. As for Albureira town itself I would not recommend nor would I stay there again as it was all stags & hens, we were told by locals that the new town used to be like this but it's now the old town as well. Very messy with loads of drunks all day long. Not many activities to do in the area either & the beach was only ok. Overall a nice stay but would not be staying in the town again. It's like Benidorm 2.0
