We loved our experience at Eurotel, the 1st night our air conditioning wasn't working and they quickly moved us to a room where the air conditioner was working well and also dropped off a special cake and a bottle of champagne for my birthday! Great access to the beach, beautiful pool. I highly recommend this hotel.

Beautiful hotel in a stunning location. The hotel was immaculately clean with great facilities.
The breakfast was outstanding. The indoor spa was so relaxing and very reasonably priced to use.
The outdoor pool, pool bar and pool area was great. There is not a lot to do in Altura but its a very quaint and peaceful little village and lots to do in the surrounding areas although taxis are quite pricey.
Some fantastic places to eat within a few minutes walk from the hotel. Bar staff and waiting staff were very friendly. The 24 hour reception staff were very helpful with the exception of one lady.
If you like peace and quiet this hotel is the perfect place. There is no entertainment and very few children/activities. I took my teenage son who was bored at times but was a perfect place for me for a relaxing break in a beautiful and classy hotel. The beach is 1 minute walk from the hotel and is the most stunningly beautiful beach.
The surroundings of the hotel are also very pleasing. Only negative is the cat poo on the grass behind the sunbeds at the pool side which isn't pleasant on a hot day but I would definitely recommend this hotel as a place to stay. Portugal is an amazing place

The location of the hotel is excellent within a short walk to an outstanding beach. During the winter months the hotel and the area is very quiet and night life is very limited. Most of the cafes and restaurants are closed especially at night. If you want a relaxing few days that's fine especially if you come for the sun and the sea and to get away from the British weather. It makes sense therefore to book half board.
The hotel is clean and well decorated with an excellent reception, sitting room and lounge. It is a well designed and attractive building and all rooms have sea views. The garden is beautiful and well kept. As it was January we have not used the outside swimming pool. It has a hydrotherapy pool (charges apply) but no internal swimming pool which is a shame. We used the gym every day and it is very well equipped. We found the staff very friendly and helpful. We found the food very enjoyable and to our liking but not always outstanding. It lacks consistency. The salads are fresh and well prepared and the fruit selection is excellent. Some of the fish meals were not so good. For breakfast it had an excellent selection of seeds and dried fruit as well as fresh fruit. The usual English breakfast although we found the fried eggs overcooked. We had some excellent walks on the beach eastwards towards Monte Gordo and westward towards Cacela Vehla. The beach runs for miles either way. Overall we had a great great value for money holiday in a beautiful 4 star hotel.

What a wonderful place and it's even better cuz the Portuguese people holiday here so it's very traditional and the food is fabulous 👌. The people are brilliant and have many values which we in UK 🇬🇧 have lost which explains the decline of our nation. Thank you Altura for a great time and will return again one day I am sure 😊.

Staff were friendly and informative, food was nice but pricey, the hotel was clean and outdoor areas were well maintained. On the other hand, the Location wasn't great with poor public transport and few attractions within walking distance . Overall, I did enjoy my stay but be prepared to get taxis or a hire car.
