Appartamenti a Alvor

I would love to give this place a poor review to put people off going so I could keep it for myself but that would be doing the staff a real disservice. I can't fault this place at all- the place was spotless inside and out and the rooms were well equipped with fridge ,safe and air conditioning and lovely hot showers. The breakfast had something for everyone and changed each day. The staff are the real star of the show though and nothing is too much trouble. We mentioned we were looking for worry beads and the next thing we knew one of the waitresses at breakfast went across the street and brought back a selection for us to choose from and purchase from the shop opposite. Special mention to Ioanna who was so friendly and up for a laugh she really made our holiday. Great Central location but quiet with a lovely small pool and pool area. Can't wait to come back!

Hotel realizzato nel 1966 e presenta palesemente tutti i suoi anni Rinomato in quanto presente campo da golf, piscina e diversi campi tennis Spreco di spazi al piano reception e servizio precario come bar Chiediamo da bere a banco e ci rispondono dopo dieci minuti che ci servono solo se ci sediamo Camere datate, parzialmente ristrutturate ma comunque piccole ed essenziali Frigo bar vuoto Buon assortimento sia cena a buffet che a colazione

A fabulous resort. Accommodation modern, clean and with all facilities required. Staff were very friendly, helpful and willing to do anything possible to make our stay a very positive experience. Restaurants offered a great selection of foods. Gluten free options were usually available as part of the main offering but staff were more than happy to provide a gluten free alternative if needed. Special thanks to Mohammad (front of house) and the chefs, especially Sophia, at Essenze Restaurant. Also to Rafael for his great welcome and chat.

The owners have spent money on the hotel to improve the look and appeal, although despite this there are several things that let it down. We booked a Superior sea-view room and on arrival (our room was not ready as we were early) we were informed that, our room would be on the second floor. We were then placed on the fourth floor and were assured that it was a Superior Sea-view room. The room was tastefully decorated, but a little tired with a partial sea-view - large tree obscuring the sea and with a small bathroom. First night; beds and pillows very uncomfortable, needless to say we didn’t have any good nights sleep for the week we were there (requested pillow exchanges which didn’t help). The room was very hot, twice we reported that the AC wasn’t cooling and asked for a fan which didn’t appear. Housekeeping didn’t refill the fridge with water, nor replenish teas/coffee’s. We asked several times for more water and wondered if they were chargeable? On checking with reception, we were assured they were complimentary - after this our fridge was restocked everyday. Bathroom exchange bidet and face clothes -took them away and didn’t leave replacements). With all our negatives, the location was perfect and staff where friendly.

We have just spent a week here, and enjoyed everything about the hotel. * It is spotlessly clean everywhere; rooms serviced daily, to an exceptional standard, with fresh linen and towels. * We stayed B&B - exceptional value for money- worth every penny. We liked the breakfast room- some reviews imply that it’s an unwelcoming space - but we didn’t find that. Hot breakfast offerings- kept replenished and very well presented and again spotlessly clean and high standards observed. Continental options and good selection of bread and pastries. Nice coffees and fresh juices. A huge thank you to the team in the breakfast room- super polite, friendly and efficient- true service with a smile - EVERY morning (apologies- we didn’t get your names). * Reception team - very welcoming and friendly, again always service with a smile. Sasha helped us get a taxi to a restaurant and always had a smile on her face - she is a credit to the hotel as “front of house “. *We stayed in room 306 - has a balcony facing the back of the hotel overlooking the pool. Very comfortable self catering- enough for light lunch preparation. Bathroom excellent. Beds comfortable. Decor clean, fresh, well coordinated and modern design. Went with jet2 and air con/safe included in price and very effective keeping us warm this time of year! Room is good size for a couple. The only negative is the lack of English TV channels- wouldn’t usually be a problem for us - but we had inclement weather and would have given us a distraction in our room for “bad weather days “. * fantastic location- walk through car park opposite hotel and you’ll find all the bars, restaurants and shops within 5mins. The boardwalk is amazing and the beaches/coastal walks are spectacular. Alvor is a beautiful place and we will definitely return in the warmer months to see it in all its glory. * This will definitely be our hotel of choice on our return- due to the welcoming staff, high standards of hygiene, amenities and locality - thank you to the whole team for a lovely stay

Hotel di livello buono, a due passi dal mare. Nel complesso esperienza positiva. Tenete presente che: - anche se avete la mezza pensione le bevande sono escluse e care. Al momento della prenotazione questo non era chiaro. Essendo il prezzo 300 euro al giorno a camera non me l aspettavo Anche il caffè non è incluso nella cena e al bar costa 2.75 euro. - aspettatevi anche 15 minuti di coda per entrare nella sala dove fare colazione se pensate di farla con calma alle 9 - varietà di cibi per cena, qualità cosi cosi - non avete nulla compreso in spiaggia. Potete andare nella spiaggia libera o pagare 18 euro al giorno per ombrellone e due sdrai - mancano rampe per scendere alcune scale, non il massimo se avete un passeggino - il centro città dista 15 minuti a piedi, nei dintorni non c è nulla - la pulizia delle camere puo essere effettuata fino alle 17 quindi se tornate in camera all ora nelle ore centrali aspettatevi di trovarla come l avete lasciata

La camera/bagno è senza spot e pulita ogni giorno se si desidera. La zona del giardino è fantastica e ben mantenuta. L'esterno è stato appena dipinto, vedo che accade, l'interno deve essere stato dipinto anche di recente, perché sembrava fresco e ancora senza spot. Il cibo che ho visitato era buono e non ho mai avuto problemi a trovare qualcosa, non ho visitato tutto il tempo perche' volevo esplorare alcuni pasti e bar nella bella città. Qualsiasi personale che incontro dove brillante non si può lamentare di nessuno di loro, in particolare il personale del bar, la notte che ho trovato estremamente amichevole. L'unico motivo per cui non ho dato 5 stelle è che sebbene il bar di notte sia comodo non sia abbastanza grande se l'hotel è in piena rotazione e per ottenere una bevanda si dovrebbe sedersi all'esterno e andare in piedi per ottenere una bevanda. Un altro guardare il nostro trasferimento in era un minibus che era buono, ma uscire era un coach e ho dovuto portare 4 casi al top del resort, che è piuttosto una collina a pochi minuti a piedi se ci sono visitatori con problemi di mobilità che dovrebbe essere un Ma semplicemente ho avuto un fantastico soggiorno in un resort pulito e amichevole, con una scelta di cibo con una bella città che sarebbe a 20 minuti a piedi o 4-5 taxi euro, c'è un autobus complimentare nella città ma l'ultima corsa è a 1700 .
