Pelican Alvor
Portugal, Europe
Alvor
This comfortable hotel is set in Alvor. The premises count with 46 welcoming units. A refuge in the Algarve where the hustle and worries of everyday life are left behind. With several indoor and outdoor areas, there are spaces and activities for all ages, an invitation to enjoy quality moments with the family. It is not by chance that we chose the pelican to name the hotel. This animal symbolizes the strength of family bonds between parents and children.

Lovely hotel
I have stayed at this lovely hotel several times over the years and it is always a good experience. The apartments are extremely spacious and have everything you need for a pleasant holiday, they are very clean with daily maid service. The location is very tranquil with beautiful garden surroundings. There is a bar which serves drinks until late evening and lunch during the day. It is an extra charge to opt for breakfast, which is well worth it as it is very good with plenty of choice considering it is a small hotel. There are gluten free options available if you inform reception on check in and this information is communicated to the breakfast room staff, who have your gluten free carbs ready for you each breakfast time. I would definitely recommend this small hotel and will certainly be visiting again.

Another relaxing stay
3rd time here out of our 10 visits tha Alvor, Friendly , attentive staff, on reception, at the bar and cleaning our room. Big spacious rooms, large, comfy bed and lovely balcony. Reported a broken shower hose at 7pm and it was as replaced next morning The pool area is nice but may need a little titivating , but the gardens are lovely Will be back, although I might hire a car from the airport next year so I don’t have to share a bus back to Faro with the worlds “ funniest” man

Would recommend!
Stayed for 1 week. Apartment was spacious and clean, initially we were disappointed to be at the front overlooking the car park but we did get the evening sun and was lovely to sit out each evening and enjoy a glass of wine. We found the rooms to be quiet and didn’t ever hear our neighbours. The staff in the bar were all very friendly and the lunches and drinks were excellent value. Around the pool was so quiet and could always get a sun bed at anytime of the day. The location is fabulous, close to a great supermarket and 9 minutes for us to walk into town. We enjoyed daily long walks on the beach and board walks. Overall we felt like we got the holiday that we expected to get and would definitely return. There seemed to be lots of repeat guests.

Great hotel except for the final evening
My partner and myself stayed at The Pelican Hotel 23rd September until 30th September 2026. We had a brilliant time until the final evening when a family from England arrived on 29th September. The hotel had been tranquil peaceful for the week. At 1am on 30th September this family caused merry hell in the hotel. So noisy and unruly. My partner phoned reception to complain but the noise persisted until 2am. I think hotels like the Pelican should operate a zero tolerance for such behaviour. We were making plans to return next year but we're now reconsidering just because we might be subjected to a full week of anti social behaviour with nothing being done to stop this hooligan behaviour
Enjoyable stay
Lovely big rooms and nice hotel. Pool area is nice and quiet but a little detached from the hotel for my preference. Took us about 15 mins to walk into Alvor centre. I wouldn't say the walk is particularly suitable for elderly or anyone with any physical challenges. All in all a good visit.
