Alfontes hotel rooms a the Highgate Independent

"Great location - right on the main hub- as close to old town with out being inside the walls and totally walkable are with tons of great food and atmosphere for all types and levels of activity Hotel staff were great and the rooms were perfect for us. "

"All round a lovely hotel. Pool area. Breakfast, room and staff all 10/10!"

"The best thing about this hotel is the staff. They are so friendly and helpful. The food and drink is excellent and not overly expensive. Try to get a front side room as the view in the morning is so relaxing to look over the marina. The location is perfect for all the local restaurants."

"Just 8 minutes walk from the city center, quiet area at night, good space with efficiency kitchen included"

"The buffet was plentiful, with good gluten free options. The pool side service was great, and the bartenders were all smiles "

"Staff was attentive when needed. Very calm and relaxing. If your are looking for a slower pace, relaxation and good food, this is a nice place. Food is fairly expensive compared to the local town a 10 minute walk. A variety of restaurants are available and multiple tourist shops. Parking is horrible, so use service from the airport and the hotel has rental cars if needed, also a Tuk Tuk that transports to Carvoeiro if choosing not to walk the 10 minutes. Great stay. "

"Everything about this hotel was wonderful "

"If you need to rest and relax, this is the place to visit"

"Beautiful hotel which is spotlessly clean and staffed by the most lovely people. My husband and I were discussing how lucky the hotel is to have such brilliant people. Everyone of them couldn’t do enough and it wasn’t “ forced” as they all were so naturally lovely. From the lovely lady who checked us in on arrival then the cleaners who were excellent. Then Ivanilda in the breakfast room who went out of her way to help us choose the beach / island we visited. Then she checked on us the next day to ask where we went and if we enjoyed it. The rooftop was lovely and the pool was freezing cold as expected for early season in May but was refreshing once in! The indoor spa area was really lovely too. Perfect hotel in a perfect location. Thank you!"
