The staff in Altamarena are brilliant, and very helpful, the hotel rooms are serviced everyday. The rooms are clean and tidy. The beds are comfortable and the pillows are lovely and soft, with plenty of extra pillows and sheets if needed. We arrived it was late 10.30pm and the kitchen put up a lovely plate of food for us. We checked in online a quick and easy device to use. The lady in reception was very friendly and helpful. Free. Wi-Fi is through out the hotel which is great, as sometimes I need to send emails for work or contact colleagues. The food in the Restaurant is good with a good variety. Management and staff in restaurant are very friendly. There are three pools and two pool-side bars there is entrainment at night and sometimes a musician during the day. The hotel is on the 25 meters from a beautiful white sand beach. We hope to return in January Colin & Beth from Ireland

We had a long process deciding which hotel to choose and Ifa Altamarena was the right choice! First of all, location is just perfect! This hotel is the closest to the beach and for us it was important. We Did not use pool, but we definitely enjoyed pool bar. We had all inclusive and I must say alcohol choice was extensive and it was generously poured. Cocktails were pre-made, but we liked them! Everyday we had a good variety of food: chicken, beef, fish, somedays seafood, salads, fruits and desserts. We were very happy with the quantity and quality of food. The room is really nice: spacious and with the balcony. Hotel requires refurbishment, but all public spaces were spotless. Everyday we had entertainment, which we really enjoyed, especially Magic Show. A huge thank you to the staff of the hotel! You made our stay memorable! Mandy from reception was very responsive and helpful on my emails before arrival. All reception girls we met: Mandy, Chiara, Kinga and Alicia were amazing! Friendly, professional and always willing to help. Carlos from wait staff is a legend and he was so attentive and so friendly! Absolutely made a difference to our stay. Everyone were great and we felt welcomed. Highly recommend.

There is a nice variety of pools, each within easy reach of the bar and snacks (available when it's not a main meal time). Easy walk to the sea - lovely to see the chipmunks playing in yhe grassland next to the hotel. We were here over Valentine's Day and were given a flower each!

We arrived early and was warmly greeted by Chiara. We were upgraded to All inclusive plus which is top shelf drinks, cocktails and fresh orange juice at breakfast. There was a plate of cheeses and dried fruit and a bottle of water in our room when we arrived. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. There was plenty of hangers and extra pillows which is a plus point. It was noisy though as it looked on to the busy main road. If this bothers you then request a room with a view as I think they will be overlooking the sea. Also some of the other guests were very noisy, slamming doors and children running up and down the corridor. The evening entertainment was good especially the magic show. I don't normally like them but these two guys were very entertaining. I think the children's disco is far too loud and the background music before and after the acts needs sorting out, same songs every night on a loop! Betty in the main bar was great and she had a smile for everyone and kept up with all the drinks orders, often on her own. She is a superstar and I hope the management appreciate her. Also Carlos and Javiera are worthy of a mention. Ardelaaziz (hope that is correct) in the restaurant and also in the main bar. He is great and works really hard. I used to work in the hotel industry as a manager and I know how difficult it can be. Now for the not so good...I think the food was disappointing and was not enough choice of hot food, unless you wanted pasta or pizza. We only went to the pool bar once as we did not particularly like it there. There was a lot of smokers on the terrace and by the pool at this hotel. Smoke was drifting into the main bar on an evening and you certainly could not sit outside without choking. We did not use the spa but the prices seemed good for a hotel, 55 euros for 55 mins massage as an example. All things considered for the price we paid it was good for a 3 nights stay.
