This was a great place!!! We had a really large apartment with separate kitchen, a large bedroom, a large bathroom and living room as well as a large balcony with sunbeds, table with 4 chairs and a drying rack. The view from the balcony was to both the sea as to the swimming pool.
The kitchen had a small refrigerator, cooking plate and stuff for us to live. A small suggestions would be to have a small supply of salt and pepper. Costs little and lasts long.
Location is walking distance to old town and for us excellent.
Service provided was ok. We arrived at the reception and a friendly man told that our place was at a bit different spot and showed us how to get there. When we left gir check out there was by coincidence another friendly man on the location to whom we could give our room cards so we didnt have to drive to the reception.

For the price that they are charging I couldn't find a hotel better than this place. The layout of room was fabulous , the fact that toilets are separate and there is a separate kitchen and balcony in each and every room makes it a gem. The pool is very very maintained and the views from the Terrace are terrific as well. The only downside I could find in this place was that the elevators were not working and the cleaning is every other day.

These apartments where very spacious and clean with everything you need to cook. There were also plenty of plug sockets which was great and our room had 2 balconies facing the pool. The pool was small but okay. I only gave 4 stars because the only downfall was the pool side music was so loud and on all day, however, we went out every single day as the hotel is located in a very good part and uber is so convenient and cheap to get around but could only pay by card on the app and not cash locally. The staff were so friendly and very helpful and I would stay here again in the same room.

I had an extremely disappointing experience at this hotel. Our room was infested with ants, not just a few, but well over 100. We spent the entire night killing ants and trying to keep them off our belongings. When we reported the issue, the cleaning staff came in and sprayed something, leaving a trail of dead ants all over the floor without cleaning them up.
To make matters worse, instead of taking the issue seriously, the cleaning lady attempted to downplay the situation and even said “it’s only one ant”, despite the fact that there were clearly many. Management also dismissed our concerns, saying it was just “a few ants.” The following day, ants were still crawling around the room, proving nothing had been properly resolved.
This hotel is not clean, the staff was unhelpful and dismissive, and the level of hygiene is unacceptable. I strongly advise against staying here. Don’t waste your money.
I could not take many pictures due to being busy cleaning them all up to get them away from my belongings. I have a video of them roaming around but it won’t let me upload it to here.

We had an amazing stay at Alfagar Cerro Malpique! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how spotlessly clean the hotel is, with attention to detail in every corner. The staff were all incredibly friendly, and Abraham in particular made our stay even more enjoyable. His English is excellent, and he was always there to help with any questions or requests.
The rooms are fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, from drinking glasses, plates, and cutlery, to extra pillows and blankets for added comfort. It was nice having that little touch of home, especially with the small kitchenette, which made it easy to prepare simple meals. The rooms are also spacious and well-maintained, giving us plenty of room to relax and unwind.
One of the highlights of this hotel is the amazing views. From our room, we had stunning sea views, and being located up on the hill gives you a peaceful, serene atmosphere while still being close to the action of Albufeira. The location was perfect, with the Old Town and beach just a short walk away, but far enough from the crowds to enjoy some quiet time.
The pool area is also fantastic. It’s well-maintained and spacious, with plenty of sunbeds to go around. The pool bar, with the friendly lady serving drinks, added a really nice touch to the whole experience—always welcoming and attentive.
One of the best parts of staying here was the overall warmth and hospitality of the entire staff. From the reception to housekeeping, everyone was so nice and always ready to assist with a smile.
If you're looking for a clean, quiet, and well-located hotel with amazing views, Alfagar Cerro Malpique is the place to be. We definitely plan on returning!
