Alsol Walhalla

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!! 😊👍👍👍👍👍👍

Our 10th time here and always a great experience, stayed in the bungalows again for the 4/5th time, spotless and kept in great condition, think it’s definitely time to get some A/C in the bungalows Alsol , otherwise we love the place. Diego and his wife run the pool bar as an awesome little place. Will be back again, excellent location for beach, restaurants and transportation to the airport and surrounding areas

We travelled as a family of 5 with myself, my husband & 3 children of 10 & 15 years old Good points Great location 5 minute walk to yumbo & 10 minute walk to the main beach & restaurants Secure apartments as you needed a key card to access the main gates to get into the apartments . Lots of storage in the bedrooms for clothing and comfortable bed Modern comfortable apartments which were quiet Sun beds always available anytime of day & comfortable to lie on Good selection of food and drink at the pool bar Supermarket right behind the apartments by walking up the stairs by the pool and has a good selection of products The pool has steps at the shallow end where you can walk in which was perfect for me as I have mobility issues. The pool water was a nice temperature and not freezing cold. Even though the pool isn’t massive it was rarely over crowded No smoking around the pool area Bad points Towels were only changed 3 times in 14 days . Some of the towels that were meant to be clean had dirt on them. We had to go to reception and ask for clean towels every other day. The apartment was only cleaned twice in 2 weeks and the cleaners barely cleaned the rooms . The cleaners never cleaned the bathroom at all and when I asked for clean towels I was told no. The kitchen doesn’t have an oven just a microwave and a hob with 2 rings so we ate out most days which worked out expensive No air conditioning just ceiling fans so we had to hire and air conditioning unit costing £160 euros. The air conditioning unit worked well and i couldn’t have coped with the heat without it. The ceiling fan only has one remote so everyone in both bedrooms has to have the fan on the same setting. There isn’t a fan in the living room area. The shower was very temperamental and most of the time we couldn’t get any warm water so we ended up with cold showers The pool has to many rules it’s like the no fun pool. No inflatables , no balls and no jumping in the pool. All you could do was swim which wasn’t much fun for the kids. Don’t sit near the pool bar side of the pool as there was a horrible smell of poop 💩 Local teenagers using the pool in the late afternoon there was around 20 teenagers who weren’t staying at the apartments which stopped us using the pool as it got over crowded Food wasn’t available at the pool bar for around 1 week of our stay as the chef was ill and they have no staff to cover her illness. If it was slightly overcast the pool bar wasn’t opened We had a great time at the apartments but probably wouldn’t come back until they had air conditioning, a better kitchen & cleaned more regularly

I have previously stayed at the Walhalla in the main apartment block and had been very happy with the size and quality of the room. This time we stayed in one of the Walhalla’s small number of bungalows (located just up a flight of stairs behind the swimming pool). We were blown away. We can’t speak highly enough of these fantastic bungalows. In brief: we had two bedrooms (a double and a twin); two bathrooms with full walk-in showers; large kitchen area; very spacious lounge with sofa that also converted to a double bed; terrace; garden (which was beautifully maintained); and sunbeds and outdoor table and chairs. The kitchen was very well stocked with utensils/appliances, including kettle, toaster, coffee maker. There was also a pack of cloths, sponges and washing up liquid. Bathrooms had toiletries (liquid soap and shower gel). The whole place was spotless and in really good condition. It had the benefit of being in a quiet corner, so was very peaceful – yet just a few stairs away from the pool. We would stay at these bungalows again in a heartbeat.

Great apartment. Take salt & pepper, scissors, hair dryer if you need them. Clean room and cleaning services 5/7 weekly. No AC but fans in bedrooms- may need to ask for controller. Wedge open from door and back for a flow of fresh air. Washing machine & dryer on site €5 includes liquid. 2 supermarkets close by - 1 on way to beach 1 larger cheaper, Dino, up steps from swimming pool. Pool clean. Staff friendly & helpful. Larger shopping centre Yumbo with restaurants and bars via steps from pool. We ate out every night and no problems. Sunbeds on beach €7.50 for 2 all day - beach busy but still loads of room. We will definitely return.
