Hotels in Prainha, Alvor

We stayed in the Alvor Atlantico Hotel for nearly three weeks and would recommend. We had a Studio Superior, with a Sea View. We were on the 7th floor and the view was absolutely beautiful, we could see all of the beach from the beach at the Atlantida Restaurant to the very end. It was lovely to wake up to. The hotel itself was very quiet, there's no bar, there is an indoor pool, which we didn't use and it was also very clean. The Studio was well equipped with a 2 ring cooker, fridge and plates and cutlery, we had a problem with the cooker and the kettle which was sorted out for us, no problem. We had one rainy day when we didn't fancy going into Alvor, you can book dinner (or breakfast) in the Dom Joao Hotel, which we did for the one night, it was only a 5 minute walk away. It was buffet style but was very good. It's a 20 minute walk into the harbour or centre of Alvor on the boardwalk which was a nice way to start the evening. We will definitely stay here again. The beds were comfortable, a bit hard for my personal liking, the shower was good with plenty of pressure, so all in all would recommend.

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!

1st the pros, spectacular hotel in beautiful surroundings, the grounds are immaculate and right on the beautiful beach. We stayed for Christmas on a half board basis. Christmas eve was amazing! Delicious food and free drinks, however the Christmas day gala was extremely disappointing, very poor food ( if any ) in the restaurant, I realise this maybe because the Portuguese celebration is Xmas eve, that being said the rest of the food throughout the holiday was very good, plenty of choice. The drinks in the bar were very expensive and one bar staff member made it plainly obvious he didn't want to be there, we waited such a long time for drinks even when not busy as he would try to look like he was occupied with something else! In the end we took our own drinks which worked out perfectly. All in all a wonderful escape from the British Xmas and a beautiful hotel

One of the best vacations ever. We loved Portugal and are already talking of coming back. People are friendly and amazing. Weather was great, warm and sunny every day. Accommodations at the Pestana Beach Villas was excellent. Very comfortable and clean with just a 2 minute walk from the most amazing beach. 10 min walk to Alvor. 10 minute drive from Portimao. Lots of shopping. If there were more stars I'd give all of them. Staff are the best. Very friendly and helpful. Our last day at the resort we went for breakfast and the girl at the serving desk gave us a free breakfast. Thanks again to everyone at the resort. We will be back.

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 stayed at Tivoli Alvor for 7 nights at all inclusive, a Jet2 package. The reception staff are amazing, Miguel (I hope I got the name right) helped us with our suitcases and we’ve been offered a glass of lemonade while waiting to check in. Miguel then took us on a lovely resort tour in one of the resort’s buggies and brought all our baggage to the room. The rooms are specious, clean and modern. The lovely cleaning staff make sure there’s fresh towels and bottled water every day. The little room fridge is perfect for those hot days …we also used it to store baby food. We used the lush dressing gowns a lot too. There’s plenty of storage space, both hanging rails and drawers, the lovely room cleaner gave me extra clothes hangers as I like most clothes hanged. The grounds are so beautiful, clean, safe for small kids and well maintained with some stunning exotic plants. There’s 3 infinity pools, a dedicated kids pool with little water slides and an adults only pool(which looked really relaxing but we didn’t use) All pools are kids friendly. There are a lot of kids, mostly under 5. There’s plenty of sun beds for everyone, nice pool towels, cold soft drinks available by the pool and any other cocktails or branded drinks available down at the bar. The food has been great for us. We are not fussy eaters. Plenty of choices for everyone I think. The cakes need a special mention, they were just divine every day! You must try the two a la carte restaurants, the food was spot on. I celebrated my birthday at Roustic and had a delicious chateaubriand steak and because I couldn’t make my mind on the sauce the chef has given me 4 different sauce pots to try. Andrianne and the staff made my birthday night really special, especially Ashish. The entertainment is more for kids but we enjoyed it with our 18 month old. There’s a stunning beach 7 minutes walk( playa de los tre hermanos) The resorts little chuchu train takes you to the little fishing village of Alvor from where you walk on the boardwalk to another lovely sandy beach. We took a taxi to Lagos (70 euros return) an old fortress town with beautiful restaurants and marina. The stunning Ponta de Piedade is about 5 minutes drive or 30/40 min walk around the amazing coast line . We also had free entry to Zoomarine with our Jet2 package. It’s £80 return taxi but it’s absolutely worth spending a day there with the little ones. All staff at this resort are great with kids and they are always happy to help with a smile . All in all we recommend this resort for a nice relaxing holiday in a beautiful location.
