hi
theres a machine at the Europa centre which is the closest to you but if you go down to the big commercial centre there are loads of machines.Theres also one near the beach close to the spar.....i think...got me thinking now.the cash machine that is at the Europa centre is next to lil corner shop that do cash exchange and its the only one there.they do a good rate.Im really not sure if you have any that are closer to you as i dont go down that way very often,Vicky on here might be more help to you as she used to work where you are staying.
Hope this helps x

Hya pet_al_2503 and welcome to the forums.

First of all I wish you a fab holiday in Altamadores this month. There is also a cash machine on Amadores Beach, but I would go to the one in the Europa Center personally as I have heard that the beach one runs out of money a lot.

In Puerto Rico C.C there are plenty as Andreya has already mentioned, although my preference is BBVA which is in the middle of the center on the left.

As far as I know you can pay for excursions with your rep with card which is handy to know (thomas cook) and don't forget - reception will change money and travellers cheques too.

Hi Vikki

We're thinking of booking a week in May - prices are great for AI and the reviews are good. We'll be going with our 4 year old. Is the complex ok for little ones? Will there be any entertainment or mini club at that time of year?

Thanks - great forum by the way

Hey Libby, thanks for joining..
The entertainment at the Altamadores normally starts the first Monday in May. There is a large swimming pool and a smaller one for the younger children. There is an activity place, where you can play football, basketball, tennis and various games.

When I was the entertainer there the activities started around 2pm, with pool games, quizzes, kids games, bingo. There is a kids club, but that is only in use in the Winter time. There is also evening entertainment and although there was no kids club the entertainer normally does a kids disco and games. Last year we had various live shows on such as Abba, Reptiles/Bird show, Acrobatic Juggling Show, Elvis and loads more....If you want to have a look at the Altamadores Website for more info click on the link below, have a look at the guestbook as you will see comments from previous guests ..... so you will be able to get a better idea of the complex.

Although I don't work there anymore I have to say it was my favourite place to work and a lovely atmosphere. The views are beautiful of Amadores Beach, if you look on the link added there is also a gallery there which will show you more pics of the complex too.

I hope this helps and if you have anymore questions don't hesitate to ask me

Thanks for getting back so quickly Vickki - Altamadores sounds great - and a bit of a well kept secret, so far anyway!! We've been coming to PR for the last 11 years or so, at least once a year, and thought that because of the value of the euro we would have to miss this year, but this is really good value and quality.

Just one other wee thing - when we've checked the prices on the various holiday providers they seem to be showing two different prices for the same week for example FindMeAccom.com is showing £362.00 and £443.00 for 2 adults and 1 child and freedom-direct is showing £369.00 and £455.00. Are there 2 different types of apartments? Either way any of the prices are great for a weeks AI, but just wondering if there was a difference in the rooms.

Thanks again
