Building work adjacent to apartments (but noise was minimal and it didn't effect the holiday)
We had an invasion of ants in the apartment on a couple of days.
General Comments
The Alfagar Apartments complex had a pleasant exterior, set adjacent to cliff edge with plenty of well looked after soft landscaping including pine trees and cobbled paths.
Staff were very friendly and chatty, and were always there to help.
There are 3 pools on site. One is a childrens pool, the other two are large with plenty of sun lounger space. The pool next to the cliff path is especially pleasant.
There was plenty of options on the resturant and bar food menus and the onsite shop was well stocked. Evening entertainment was daily which included a local Alargavian music night.
The apartments were a two minute walk away from Santa Eulalia Beach. The beach has plenty of sun loungers, a couple of bars and really soft sand. The water wasn't that cold either.
I spent my two weeks at Alfagar lounging by the pool and taking a dip in the sea with the evenings at the onsite resturant or taking in an evening visit to old Albufeira. Very relaxing.
The main Albufeira resort is a 30min walk to The Strip area with its bland bars, resturant and shops. The more plesent old Albufiera is a 1hr walk away. We hired a car for the two weeks but most people used taxis to get into town.
Overall we had a great relaxing holiday (although it was cloudy the 1st week we were there). Alfagar was by far the most pleasant hotel/apartment complex we saw in the Albufeira area (and we saw hundreds!). I would recommend the apartments if you are looking for a holiday by the pool and beach.
I certainly could spend the rest of my life relaxing in Alfagar's pool by the cliff edge watching the world go by.
