Dunamar Hotel Apartamentos

“A good hotel overlooking the beach.”

The Dunamar is a very nice hotel, furniture in the apartment is a bit tired, but everything very clean. The tea kitchen was very sufficient for our needs.

The Dunamar is a very nice hotel, furniture in the apartment is a bit tired, but everything very clean. The tea kitchen was very sufficient for our needs. A lovely bathroom with a really good walk-in shower. We had a full seaview room on the 3rd floor with balcony. The cleaning ladies were lovely and did our room every day, floors were first vacuumed then washed. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice. The hot food could have been warmer, which I did mention. We found staff on reception to be very helpful. All in all a lovely hotel, very nicely situated. Would definitely go back there!

“Mostly good”

Good points - clean and spacious apartments, comfy beds. Cleaning ladies were so nice. Food was really good for the most part, plenty choice in the buffet. Direct access to the fantastic beach. Not so good - the sofa was really uncomfortable. Reception staff were pretty dour faced. Bathroom needs a refurb but was decent enough. We didn't use the cooking facilities.

“Good Apartments”

Nice spacious 1 bed apartment, comfy bed, side sea view, bath and shower and a short walk to the beach and lots of restaurants. My main criticism is the kitchen.

Nice spacious 1 bed apartment, comfy bed, side sea view, bath and shower and a short walk to the beach and lots of restaurants. My main criticism is the kitchen. Very poor equipment such as no chopping board, tiny tea cups and huge pans - how many people do they think are there. Also beware the hot water temperature in bathroom and kitchen is scalding so if not paying attention you could burn yourself. Overall a pleasant place to stay and friendly staff.

“Some room for improvement but we were very comfortable here.”

Usually stay at the Alcazar but chose this for a change and have to say we were very pleasantly surprised. The apartment 421 was roomy and airy. We paid extra for a sea view and it was totally worth every penny. The beds are comfortable, the sheets smooth and soft and the towels were soft... more

Usually stay at the Alcazar but chose this for a change and have to say we were very pleasantly surprised. The apartment 421 was roomy and airy. We paid extra for a sea view and it was totally worth every penny. The beds are comfortable, the sheets smooth and soft and the towels were soft and fluffy. The loo roll is basic and toiletries limited to hand soap and shower gel. There aren’t enough coat hangers (5/6 each) but plenty of drawer space and a full length mirror. The sofa and chair are adequate the sofa is a sofa bed for another two people if desired. Coffee table. Large smart TV - you can watch YouTube. Nothing else in English. The kitchenette has most things you need. Plenty of cutlery, bottle/tin opener, crockery, coffee machine, kettle, microwave and two electric rings with frying pan and two other large pans - nothing small. Washing up liquid is provided but no dishcloth or sponge. Tea towels are provided. Complimentary bottle of still water in fridge. The hob in the kitchen was slightly cracked and had been repaired with silicone. It really needs replacing as some of the heat numbers don’t work properly. It is also very slow. Dining area - table and four chairs. Comfy. Bathroom - walk in large powerful shower. Plenty of hot water. Good sized counter top and washbasin. Bidet (no soap dispenser nearby). Toilet seat was loose and rickety. Reported this upon arrival - maintenance did not arrive within our stay (7 days). Still needs attention/refastening. Room keys - we had a lot of problems with these not working for the first couple of days. Eventually resolved. Small issue with Dutch people reserving sunbeds all day and not being there. I raised this at reception and Catarina told me I could move their belongings. I pointed out that this wasn’t my job and should be done by a member of the hotel staff, as per their poolside notices, to avoid poolside arguments. She then got a man to put out some more sunbeds as the weather was nice and there weren’t enough available. This solved the issue and should be done automatically. The room maids were lovely. Very quick and efficient. The reception staff are all very nice and helpful. One thing we found unusual is having to leave either a cash deposit of €50 or credit card details. Not sure why? Breakages? We didn’t use the restaurant or bar as we were self catering. We were very happy with our stay. This hotel backs onto the beach which you can access easily via the boardwalk where there are plentiful bars and cafes. It suited us as it was quiet - in summer it may be too busy - I don’t know. We look forward to returning hopefully next Christmas. Thank you very much

“Nice holiday but !!!”

Third time we have stayed here and nothing much changes ! Rooms badly need updated and although wasn’t an issue for us but there are no English Tv channels so suggest anyone thinking of going in winter months and if weather wet and cold then do not rely on staying in your room ! Same old story from reception that issue with satellite but this is a 3 year problem as each time we stay we get same answer ! Also no satellite dishes on roof so a bit of a story being told ! Cleaners fantastic , bar soulless ! Reception team never seem happy ! Apart from that we had a nice holiday !
