Africamar

Stayed for a week in October. If I am honest I have a mixed review of Africamar. The location is great, five minutes to the beach, close to the bus stop, lots of bars and restaurants around. The resort itself is nice and easy to get around. Public areas of the apartments / hotel are nice bright and clean. Staff very welcoming (Best thing about the place). The pool area is nice, however, some older and longer term residents take up residence early in the morning with their towels on the sun beds and then also use the tables and chairs that surround the pool, bad form really. We had rooms side by side which I was grateful for. However, our room - while the bed was comfortable, the smell of drains was really really bad in the bathroom. our shower drain was stained yellow, even with wet towels over the outlets in the shower and sink the smell was really bad. I showered with my socks on! There was no soap in the bathroom and the cleaners took the towels but didn't replace them. Bins weren't emptied either. Room was a bit grubby. My mams room opposite ours was actually quite nice, clean and bright, no smell in the bathroom, but she couldn't lock her sliding door. It was old and stiff and just didn't work. No air con in the rooms either. So mixed review from me. Again the staff on reception and in the bar were great, cleaning not so good. Would I recommend to a friend .....- sorry Africamar - probably not, but maybe we were unlucky....

Just got back from Africamar and for a cheap holiday it wasn't to bad. Grips room was on the front on a very busy main road load noise from traffic 5-30 am till 01-00am busses come by every 10 mins or less ( good if you want to catch a bus somewhere ) room only serviced twice in a week but has a solo traveller it was OK because they left towels for two guests but had to make my own bed ?? Bar didn't open till 9am so if you fancy a coffee early you have to go out. Good side very friendly staff and owners it's clean and close to the main bar street all in all not bad for a short break or a solo traveller but would not take the family but thanks to all the staff for a pleasant stay

If you are literally wanting a bed in a room that is semi secure then crack on and go for it. Other than that, I wouldn’t recommend. We have ended up booking another hotel for the rest of the break as one night was enough here. A break down below: Incredibly basic no food to offer, not even snacks no soap in the apartment, nothing turned the aircon off indefinitely. Just a little bit sad generally Locking system and safe in the room are worrying

Have just returned from a fabulous week at this gem of a place. We booked because of the great reviews and the location, it didn't disappoint. As soon as we stepped through the door we felt so welcome and were treated like part of the family. We will be returning without a doubt. Thank you Africamar! You made our holiday very special indeed. Much love, Pip & Kev

We normally are not fussy and like a cheap and cheerful but after 11 nights we have to share our thoughts. The main issue was 11 nights with no air con at all. We were told that they had someone coming out to fix it then the next day they put a poster up saying it’s no longer in use. (Leading us to have to buy 2 fans which cost 40 euro). We also had issues with the hot water, it went off and on for hours at a time and at one point we had brown water running from the tap! We had almost full bars for the WiFi but it was terrible and kept disconnecting every few minutes. Our balcony door had a lock but it didn’t work and the doors were very stiff and hard to pull shut. The shower had yellow stains on the drain and looked like it had never been cleaned. The bathroom had a very foul stench of sewage and it was unpleasant. One day after coming back from the beach, the maids had been and they took the dirty towels but left no new clean ones so we had to walk around trying to find somebody. On the last night we asked at reception if they had any showers or towels for us to use on our last day as we had a late flight going home. They said they didn’t have any showers we could use but they would provide towels for the pool. On checkout day we checked out then asked for our towels and they couldn’t provide any. The only positive was a very helpful staff member (the lovely lady with long braids). She was very thoughtful, made everyone feel welcome and was the only saving grace for the hotel. Overall, this hotel is very outdated and needs serious reflection for the price people pay.

I picked this hotel because it was reasonably priced. The staff were friendly but it was very noisy at night time. We stayed 3 nights and 2 of the nights we were kept up until 3-4am. Our room was clean but the air con didn’t work and the balcony door didn’t lock. We had a safe in the room but no key for it. Therefore we had to take our valuables out everywhere we went. Wish I had paid a bit more to stay in a more secure and quieter hotel.
