Hotel Alto Lido

Melanie H6 months ago

This was our 2nd stay, the first being May/June 2022. Both times we have chosen a studio room with side sea view. First time we were in a room on the third floor at the front of the hotel, from here we had a view of the sea, between the hotels across the road, from here we enjoyed people watching along the Estrada Monumental. Second time we were on the 5th floor, at the back of the hotel, behind the children's pool. We had a good sea view from this room and could see the cruise ships arriving and leaving. Both rooms had a balcony that got the sun all day long, which was great. Maybe not what people expect of a 4 star hotel, but for what we paid for our package holiday, it was really good value. Studios rooms are very spacious, but drawer space is lacking in some of the rooms. Beds are two singles put together and are really comfortable. We found that the shower pressure was poor, but don't remember this being the case last time we stayed there, so may depend on whereabouts in the hotel your room is situated. We stayed on bed and breakfast basis, but wouldn't stay half-board as the evening meal isn't great, maybe not really for the British taste. Last year we were upgraded to half-board, due to the building work next door, but only went for the evening meal about 50% of the time, due to it not being to our taste. Breakfast is substantial, with a good variety of food to choose from. The hotel is in a good position for the supermarket, shopping centre, restaurants, bars and lido promenade walks. Unfortunately, our favourite bare, the Lido Tavern, were closed for a holiday, but we discovered that the bottle store also serves as a nice little bar. We would definitely stay here again, we are not lovers of hotels, but feel comfortable at the Alto Lido.
