I really liked the Altamar apartments. I thought it was a good located - right at the top of the hill instead of half way up!!! There are a few place in the Europa Shopping Centre (5 mins away) which serve really nice food, and also in the main centro commercial at the bottom of the hill. Oscars nest to the beach is supposed to be really nice, but I think you may have to book (or go early). I personally like the Royal Oak in the main shopping centre - good old fashioned british grub!

The apartments themselves are not huge but the balconies are!!! We had sunlougers on them plus a table, four chair and a clothes dryer!!!

Have fun !

Hi,
We have booked to go to the Altamar in October.I have an old plan of the complex from 1998 and it has the numbers of the apartments on it.If i remember correctly we stayed on level 3 the last time we were there but you had to get the lift every time you left the complex.I am going to email them and ask for a high floor room and see what they say.I guess it is just luck if you do get a quiet room as you may have noisy neighbours etc but if you request a room away from the entertainment then you should be OK.

Does anyone know if you can book the Altamar apartments direct as I cannot seem to find a web site for them or does anyone know where to book them as all the usual companies do not seem to have them apart from Thomas cook.
many thanks
