About Hovima Altamira
Situated in its own lovely grounds, and just a few steps from the beach, Hovima Altamira offers guests modern resort-style accommodation centred on an extensive pool terrace.
Hovima Altamira has both studios and one-bedroom apartments available. Each features en-suite bathroom with bathtub and hairdryer, fully-equipped kitchen, in room safe (fee), satellite TV and private balcony. Most units have sea views.
Altamira’s star feature is undoubtedly its massive pool terrace. There are pools for adults and children, and all the sun loungers and other amenities you’d expect are there. Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, but free of charge only around reception.
There is a buffet restaurant on-site that serves all three meals, and also a pool bar and café around the pool.
The beach is just a couple of minutes walk away. There you can indulge in a number of watersports, including parasailing and jet skiing.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Lacking Daily Cleaning
Some guests who expected and were assured that their rooms would be turned over daily, were disappointed that their rooms would sometimes go untouched for days by housekeeping staff and they would have to request cleaning as if it were an additional service provided by the hotel.
negative:
No Air-Conditioning
There is no air-conditioning in the apartments and for a number of guests this did not make their stay very pleasant as there was no respite from the heat of the day and these guests had trouble sleeping at night. A number of guests also commented that the provided ceiling fans did not provide any relief from the heat.
negative:
Insect Invasion
Some guests had the unfortunate experience of finding a number of creepy crawlies in and around their apartments particularly using bathtubs and other drains as a gateway through the resort. Many negative reviews recounted experiences with some providing a daily head-count of unwanted guests.
