Lovely hotel with direct access to the beach. Only second day so still finding new experiences. The staff are lovely and Madalena is very friendly.
We stayed for 10 days and will hopefully get back here someday. The hotel is in a great location with a beautiful breakfast terrace overlooking the sea. The pool is huge, the grounds are immaculately kept and there is no road noise, just the sound of crashing waves.
Hate to be negative, so I'll start with some positives! Location is great. Gardens of hotel well kept. Staff very polite. Cleaners dona great job. However, the rooms (we had a superior sea view), need a complete refurbishment. The air conditioning made me ill the entire time. Blocked sinisis, followed by a chesty cough, (heard a lot of coughing). The gym area was hot as ac didn't work properly. Outside pool seemed clean, but decking was awful. It had some nails missing, was loose and a trip hazard. Sun beds hard and old as were parasols. I feel this place has potential but I was v surprised by the standards of the rooms. We weren't the only ones either. Another couple were moved but said their new room was "ok!" This place is not cheap and price does not reflect the standard of accommodation. We travel lots but definitely wouldn't go back unless they make big changes! Stayed in a 5 star in gran canaria which was a lot cheaper but absolutely beautiful. Same type of Location too.
Been staying here for over 20 years and come back to Alvor most years. All lovely, good value rooms, great pool, nice walk on boardwalk to Alvor or few euro in taxi. Typical sunbed/towel nightmare in July and August but was fine in October. Restaurant can be very busy for breakfast and the toaster is rubbish, but plenty of food.
We had a lovely stay in Pestana Alvor Praia - the location just a short walk from the beach is special. The sea view is highly recommended. Everywhere was spotless and the service was excellent. Overall an excellent stay.
