Algamar by Garvetur

We had stayed here when our daughter was younger so we weren’t prepared for the changes . Please be aware of the damage deposit charged , in our case 300 Euros , returnable post holiday after inspection . It can be as much as 500 ! We couldn’t get in the apartment due to a “ swollen door “ . We managed eventually to gain access , only to find we couldn’t close the door , having reported it at reception, they sent maintenance to fix next morning, but we had to secure the door that night using the security chain only . Shame , really , because location is great and apartment is well equipped . Didn’t have a rep , as booked through Love Holidays , who unsurprisingly , are not offering compensation .

Dirtiest place I have ever walked into. Pool was being worked o dust and noise every day. Our flight was in the evening so we were charged for a late fee €30. Then asked for €300 deposit which would be payed back after we left when their clean team checked the room. Clean team what a joke. The foyer was full of dirt and rubbish, the bathroom had pubic hair all through it, drawers in kitchen filthy, fridge filthy, balcony filthy with broken table. To get to the pool you go out the back to what only can be described as a building yard. Cigarette butt's and beer bottles everywhere. Staff at gartveaur extremely rude and unhelpful. All they want is your money and to hell with you. Noise all night from gangs of youths partying and banging doors. Worst experience ever. They give you a fob for front door knowing it has been smashed in, anyone can get in. For your own sake please avoid at all costs.

Went for 5 nights as had a wedding in Portugal. Got to apartment at around 4.30pm and Garvetur real estate agent got us checked in. Joanna in Garvetur was absolutely brilliant. Even brought a hair dryer to me in the apartment. Perfect for our stay.. Pool not great and very little chairs or beds available around pool. On the plus side five minute walk to beach and was just fantastic. Really enjoyed and couldn't praise Joanna in Garvetur enough. Professional, friendly and went above and beyond. Lovely.
