This hotel is just beautiful. The location is perfect, just 20-30 min walk to the beach,harbour, commercial centre and 5 minutes to the europa centre. If you are not able to walk taxi are always outside to jump into. Our room was perfect, with views of the pool and sea, cleaners came in every other day as well. The hotel has two pools one for games,kids,people with floats etc or a quieter one near the bar to relax in. The food was good a large selection of foods and drinks with a snack bar open between meal times so you could grab a bite pretty much any time you wanted. I cannot recommend this hotel enough it ticks every box it is exceptional value for money. We have enjoyed it so much that we are not leaving till tomorrow and already booked a holiday here again for next year. Thank you servatur altamar for making our holiday everything we wanted.

Our stay at Servatur Almatar was extremely enjoyable. We have just returned from a 5 night stay and would definitely recommend this hotel - especially the all inclusive package.
The food was great, room was nice, amenities were good and view was amazing. They had all that you could ask for around the hotel. I would definitely recommend hiring a car as the island itself is beautiful but very hilly as expected.
One thing that I would like to note is entertainment is very limited. There are a few things on for kids (cannot comment on this as we were a group of adults). Bingo is at 4. Shows are on in the restaurant at 9 and typically last 45 minutes. They play music after this and the occasional game but nothing worth sticking around for. There is also 1 bar in the resort, it appears that the second bar is now a hairdressers.
Bonus points for there always being available sunbeds (mid June) and it being generally quite quiet.
Thank you for the lovely stay!

Overall, I rate my stay at this hotel positively, but there are definitely a few things that need improvement. On the plus side, the food was delicious and there was always a wide selection. Another great thing was the balcony view, as well as the sun loungers and umbrella on the terrace.
However, room cleanliness could be slightly better; it wasn't terrible, but there is definitely room for improvement. The second thing I would criticize is the communication with the hotel. Before our arrival, I tried to contact them regarding an upgrade from half board to all-inclusive. When I finally managed to get in touch, they calculated the upgrade price at around €350 for the entire stay. However, I checked their website and saw that for my exact dates, the price difference between half board and all-inclusive was only about €100, so of course, I declined their offer. When we arrived for check-in and I asked about the upgrade again, they quoted me around €160 on-site. I accepted it, but I still feel it was unnecessarily overpriced, considering the website difference was only around €100 and I had tried to resolve this a week before arrival.
Lastly, I would definitely like to point out the luggage scale, which you have to pay for to weigh your suitcase. The fee is €1 per bag, which isn't a lot, but I think that when you pay so much money for accommodation, such a scale should be free to use just like in other hotels, rather than charging for this kind of service.

Excellent getaway for the price. The food was amazing and staff where really friendly. Entertainment was ok. Views are one of the main highlights. Its super high up so the beach isn't really within walking distance unless your really fit but its about €4-5 for a taxi each way for the local Amadores beech and there's a taxi rank right outside where there's normally 3 or 4 cabs waiting.

This is a nice, small hotel with beautiful views from every room. We stayed in late June and there were always sun beds available and the hotel never felt too busy. The rooms were basic but fine and had a pair of sun loungers in the balcony - but the aircon is set to 23 degrees and you cannot lower it unless you beg at reception, and for some reason it is only in the living area and not the bedroom. The food was fine, standard all inclusive fare, with the breakfast particularly good. There’s only one restaurant/bar meaning you’re quite tied to it throughout the day. The gym has next to no equipment so was not worth using. The main fault would be that the parasols above the sun beds were slightly sheer, meaning we got burnt even when we thought we were in the shade, which is a sun safety issue and not really on. When you can see shadows even under the parasol, it isn’t really functioning. Overall a nice hotel but this really would prevent me from returning or recommending it.
