Alsol Walhalla

Have stayed at these apartments many times, but not since they have been refurbished. They are clean, modern and spacious. Comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen and comfortable furniture. Great location for both the beach and the Yumbo. Pool bar serves extensive snacks and drinks with friendly staff. Lovely well kept gardens and pool area.

The apartments are cheap and cheerful. Modern, but not of good quality. If you’re in apartments 1 to 5 the you are away from the pool, up three flights of stairs (no lift). So only suitable for the fit and able. The advantage is that they have their own gardens. In front of apartments 1 to 5 (closer to the pool) are 5 privately owned apartments. There are also some privately owned apartments in the main building. The people owning these apartments have made rules for the pool that are strict, such as no inflatables are allowed in the pool. This is a real shame for the kids. The pool is large, so the rule is completely unnecessary. The gardener is pretty annoying as at around 16:00 - 17:00 he comes out with the mega noisy leaf blower. Just the time when you’re back from the pool/beach and would like to relax on the garden with a drink. We asked if he could do it at a different time but he said he could not. Then between 18:30 and 19:30 (when you’re heading out for dinner) they turn the water sprinklers on for the plants. This means it’s impossible to leave your room (if in the apartments 1 to 5) without getting wet. We informed the staff of this, but they didn’t really care. We were there at the start of February (week 7). The temperature during the day is nice (around 25 degrees), but it’s cool first thing in the morning and in the evening with a light wind making it feel cooler. Long sleeves and long dresses/trousers are needed to be warm enough in the evening. I’d also recommend warmer sleep wear/pyjamas and slippers as it’s quite cool in the rooms with no heating and tiled floors. There are many good supermarkets located close by. The pool bar is closed all day on Sundays and Wednesday. The bar makes an excellent Sangria (it’s quite strong) and the bar man is lovely. The food there is also nice and very reasonably priced. There is a very nice and helpful female life guard at the pool. It’s only a short and easy walk to the beach and restaurants. The kitchen is well equipped, with a toaster, hand blender and coffee machine. Our apartment was for 4 people, but only had three chairs at the breakfast bar, which was a bit annoying as it was too cold to eat breakfast outside in the morning (there are chairs and a table in the garden). You have to run the shower for a very long time to get hot water. When the warm water does come, it’s very temperamental. This was quite unpleasant as it’s cool in the evenings, so you definitely don’t want a tepid/cold shower at this point. The local beach is nice, but windy. The locals have thought about this though and put up loads of wind blocks. To rent two sunbeds and an umbrella is only 7.50 Euro. There is a bus, (No. 90 and 66) that stops a 5 min walk from the hotel, which goes to the airport in around 40 mins. The fare for 1 adult and a child is 7 Euro. The bus stop has a digital screen showing the bus times.

Lovely little apartment hotel a short 5-10 minute walk to the beach. The rooms were modern and included all the amenities required for self catering, even an iron and hair dryer and most kitchen utensils. The rooms were cleaned regularly and towels replaced every 2 to 3 days. The pool was heated but could have been a little warmer during winter but it was still adequate. The hotel staff and cleaners were very nice and helpful. The hotel does not allow inflatables/balls in the pool although allowed us only when nobody else was in the pool. We had a lovely stay here over the new year's and the weather was perfect. I would highly recommend this hotel. Thanks again to all the staff at Apartmentos Walhalla!! 😊👍👍👍👍👍👍
