We came here before, 2 years ago and so booked a return because of the spacious rooms with good facilities. The resort is great, although I can see why some people find it limited. We like the relatively compact resort - there are around 20 restaurants in Acoteias, but no nightclubs. There is an excellent local supermarket and it is... more

this was a globe span trip, well done to them, the rooms were clean, the kitchen was very well equipped, there was a lounge with tv, radio, cd etc, there was a shuttle bus that took you into town (free ) . OK the down side the food was cold but there was plenty , I turned the thermostat up... more

This hotel was chosen because it was set away from the noise of Albufeira but maybe a little too far, not the desciption given by Globespan..... also there is no indoor pool or gym as indicated.... It is a long walk to the beach but you can take the courtesy bus to Felisia beach and walk down the steps, well... more

Just back from excellent 7 day holiday at the Alpinus. We had booked a one bedroom apartment with our adult daughter intending to use the sofa bed in the lounge. On arrival we found that one of the metal folding supports on this bed was broken and would not allow it to fold properly. Reception immediately offered a two bedroom/two... more

If you are travelling with young kids, and want to chill out by a pool then I think this is a fantastic hotel. We are in our early thirties but as we have a three year old little girl clubbing and bars were not our top priority (if they were you'd be disappointed coming to this location) . We were... more

Alpinus Once a time share resort, now reopened after closure by the new owners. Accommodation is large,airy and well equipped. We found housekeeping hit and miss. The majority of... more

We did spend 3 weeks here. Real bargain off-season price direct from net. Rooms. Lots of space, Furniture bit old, but ok. Kitchen is super. Bathroom ok. Bedroom is ok, bed was ok too. Balcony was good size. Daytime was silent, but night-club was just under bedroom - quess this was due/reason to our extra low rate. Music ended usually... more

Our 1st choice hotel was overbooked so we were moved to Alpinus by the appalling Direct line holidays. We wondered what sort of hotel would still have spaces at short notice and soon realised why! Reception staff were mostly surly and unhelpful. Breakfast was poor, we resorted to buying our own cereals to take into the restaurant. We had to... more

This hotel was brilliant! It was very spacious and really clean. Loads of cupboard space, iron, cutlery etc... all the facilities you need. Shops, chemist and quite a few restaurants nearby. Beach within a ten min walk. Beach is lovely! in fact most beaches are great. The one issue with this hotel is that it is far from the old... more
