Great stay

Great first holiday with a baby. It was so clean and everyone was so friendly. The pools were great, the only thing I would suggest is for either more loungers and umbrellas or for management to implement their own policy on removing towels on loungers from people who are reserving loungers but who are not actually there.

This is our second stay here. The apartments are spacious and clean and well equipped. The reception staff are polite and helpful. Nice pool. Great wee bar and cafe. The location is convenient- a short walk into the town’s bars and restaurants but far enough to be quiet at night. Only slight negative was the WiFi was painfully slow

Mixed bag, great location, poor WiFi, barking dogs

I gave a rating of 3 because of two factors-that are very important to me - very poor WiFi (very weak and dropping signal all the time, 3 or 4 times every hour), and being constantly woken up by incessant barking dogs (every night from midnight to 5 am) on smallholding on the other side of houses adjacent to the pool area. Hotel is raised above the small valley and the dogs sound like they are right next door to the hotel. Having a room facing the entrance to the hotel (not facing the pool) would be a better option. On the very positive side: - Wonderful staff - Great breakfasts - Easy 15 minute walk to town with all the restaurants - Grocery store a 5 minute walk away - Big suite, separate bedroom (some are open plan) - Nice kitchen and well appointed for cooking - Alvor beaches are arguably better than Portimao right next door - Nice large balcony

Great option at a great price!

This property is great with a need for a few touch ups - the air on did not work I the 1st room and the staff were very efficient moving us to another room however in the 2nd room the the bath tub jets don’t work, the clip in cover blocking of the tub plumbing was broken as were the towel racks. The staff do try to assist and the rooms are very spacious. I did appreciate that the room looks exact like the photos!

Convenient property but would stay elsewhere in the future. VIP status not recognised and tried to charge us extra to make the sofa bed. However, the staff who serviced our room each day were very good! Be sure to bring your own tea and coffee as this isn’t provided. Rooms aren’t soundproof so can be very noisy.

The room was lovely with great views. Housekeeping were very good. Friendly reception staff. Wi-Fi was dreadful……so slow and kept shutting down. Whilst the staff were apologetic no manager was ever available to discuss this. As an independent travel agent I was there doing research on this hotel for future guests and I can honestly say I will not be recommending it! Good wifi is so important for guests nowadays so how a 4* hotel can allow this I have no idea! I struggled to book forwarding travel, transport and flight check in which is unacceptable Also charging for a safe in 2024 is unbelievable! I stayed here 10 years ago and commented then on this ridiculous cost so cannot believe they are still doing it! These safes must have paid for themselves again and again. A 4* hotel should have no charge for this facility,

It was about a 10 min walk into Alvor restaurants, but felt safe. V quiet hotel, with large studio room and lovely staff, although there don't seem to be many of them.Plenty of tables and chairs inside and on decking, but could do with a comfortable area, soft chairs (armchairs) and side tables to have a drink at or read, maybe a book exchange shelf? Only downside really was that there were not enough umbrellas, it would be good to have one umbrella per 2 sunbeds and people were reserving sunbeds and umbrellas at 8.30am and not using them till 2pm. But overall was a lovely relaxed stay, friendly and helpful staff, and would stay again.
