Hotel Algorfa

Un bel hôtel à Algorfa, à 20 minutes en voiture de Torrevieja. L'hôtel dispose d'un restaurant et d'un bar très variés. Nous y sommes allés un vendredi soir et il y avait un spectacle musical sympa avec des morceaux des années 80. Les installations sont plutôt bonnes, et il y avait une piscine plutôt sympa, dont nous n'avons pas pu profiter faute de temps. L'ambiance était très sympa. Je le recommande.

We stayed at Hotel Algorfa in Algorfa country side it is suppose to be a 3 star hotel now but due to renovations going on and not yet finished it's a borderline 2 star hotel to me which I don't normally do. It was €70+ a night now €90+ a night. A few things we found was cleaning issues and rust and cracks and dirt in alot of places the owner had a crack pot idea of putting a Aviary with parrots and Macaws which kept you up through early morning when the sun came up so no sleep from 6.45 am when they started squawking loudly and NO chance of a siesta. The pool area was hot and the stairs in the pool was coming away from the fittings. Children was playing loudly at times and people were smoking on tables pool side plus ball games and lilos were in the pool which is too small for that. Not a pleasant swim when that happens. Gates to pool was meant to be closed at all times which didn't happen and people were leaving their towels on loungers early morning and over night getting their favourite spot. The rooms were abit filthy not clean outside a team staff member said it's Sahara sands but we had no rain or winds during our stay so they hadn't been cleaned although cracks and rust in places. Food was adequate so we ate out once during our 2 day stay. Wednesday roast is good but roast potatoes and chips were rock hard they couldn't cook them properly and Yorkshire pudding was soft not crispy. We wasn't given a ticket and we had pre booked so by the time we got our meal for our roast dinner on my birthday the gannets were in full force and left me with scrag end of beef not nice although the turkey was ok. I had a free birthday cocktail but it was made with snide (cheap rum not Bicardi) as it was a mojito and not made properly the mint was chopped up finely so it made me choke , I ended up leaving it as it was making me ill. Breakfast was ok but when I asked for butter for a croissant I had it was unspreadable and rock hard also I got jam when I said I didn't want it and it was warm when I asked for it cold alot of staff got things wrong such as wrong beer ordered and one incident on the first day we had a sandwich for lunch no gloves was worn and when making them, there was egg bits and salad stuff on the knife and chopping board and she just scraped it off into the bin and carried on with our sandwiches didn't clean the knife or chopping board serious health issues there!! The shop was expensive too Ice was €2 a bag in the local supermarkets they are under €1 especially in Mercadonas. The last night Karaoke was on and it was loud so we couldn't sit on the balcony or watch TV in peace. This hotel is not for children as there is nothing to do unless your willing to drive quite far. I don't think we will be back although the beds were comfy and the staff was very friendly it was too rough and a bit unclean for us. Just glad to get home to get peace and quiet!

Went for Sunday lunch and I'd definitely go again. It was a buffet style and there was plenty veg, potatoes to choose from. The pork and cracking was delicious. It was hot and the plates were warm. The only thing I have to come down on, is, it would be better with bigger plates as you had to pile the food up on the smaller plates as you couldn't go back and get a bit more veg. I personally like to have a small plate of food and go back for more if I want to. You just end up leaving food for waste which I hate. And I wouldn't have a glass of wine either...it was 4.50e where my friends brandy and Coke was only 20c more. But I would go back, minus the wine.
