Good Points

Attractive gardens, well maintained, scenic cliff top views, spacious apartments, staff work hard to keep the complex tidy


Bad Points

Main pool area a Construction site when we visited, baby pool broken tiles and dangerous, complex Restaurant & cafe bar food terrible - any meat dishes anyway, faulty cooker which resulted in my wife burning her hand and spending a night at A&E, extremely uncomfortable furniture in the apartment, no toddler food in the mini market, pool bar closed at the only pool in use


General Comments

Upon arrival at Alfagar Apartment Complex our room was not ready, a walk around the complex proved the main pool area which convinced us to buy this holiday; was a Construction site with serious renovations taking place and the building of a pool complex building, our room furniture was like sitting on concrete, a faulty cooker knob led to my wife burning her hand, the only pool in use was ice cold (to be expected at Easter) there was a boarded up pool bar not in use next to the pool in use, the baby pool bottom was breaking up and there was hundreds of sharp tiles loose on the bottom, the cafe and restaurant meat dishes were consistently awful and left a feeling of being ripped off at UK prices for sub-standard food.
On a positive side you could see that this was a picturesque complex and the staff were trying hard to present it nicely, the rooms were cleaned every day and the overal hygiene was very good. Once the Construction activities are complete, the pool bars open and the pool water heats up in the Summer I can see this being a very pleasant venue to base yourself for a break in the Algarve - just eat out!! Oh and avoid the lethal cooker!! Oh and don't expect a comfy seat for a couple of weeks!!
