Alvor Hotel Guide - 4 stars Hotels in Alvor, Portugal

From the friendly greeting when we arrived at the Alvor Village Hotel we had a wonderful stay, the studio apartment was really spacious, well equipped and spotlessly clean. A lovely buffet style breakfast and also a good range of snacks can be ordered throughout the day at the bar.We also booked an excursion from the hotel to Silves and Monchique. Alvor is a lovely place with an abundance of wonderful restaurants and cafes and comes alive at night ! The beach is beautiful and stretches for miles, also gorgeous views at the riverside where you can take boat trips along the coastline, we'll definitely be returning !

Had a lovely time at this hotel , the only complaint I had was the resident cat !!! Although I am an animal lover I didn't like the supposedly "white" cat that loved to sleep in the seated area at reception . It was a Nasty and unpredictable cat and although I knew not to go near it but children might not be so knowledgeable . Reception staff are always friendly and helpful .

Although we enjoyed our stay at the Dom Joao we were a little disappointed on arrival as we were checked in to a room with facilities for a disabled person, which we did not require, and that had no balcony. This is the second time we have visited the Dom Joao and unfortunately had problems both times with rooms. It makes the start of a holiday quite unsettling as you are unable to unpack and wait anxiously to be allocated what you had booked months in advance.

The hotel is nice, very modern. The restaurant was very disappointing, food very poor. Most of the staff are very friendly (reception staff always helpful) apart from the luggage/door man who rude when asked to see why the air conditioner wasn't working. Always lots of sun loungers available.

The hotel is clean and airy and has an excellent swimming pool. The food is ok with a large variety to choose from. There Is a free buts service to the beach which comes and goes frequently throughout the day and only takes about 7minutes to get there. There are lots of days trips to choose from and you are within walking distance to the town. There are many shops and restaurants to visit.

Two minute walk to the beach which is superb and very beautiful. Pool great, hotel very clean. Food choices excellent, something for everyone and not just chips for children!!!! Family friendly, lovely area, go out and about, cheap for taxi or free shuttle bus, beautiful country.

We arrived well after midnight and had no trouble checking in. The rooms are clean and adequately furnished. We received clean sheets and towels during our 6 day stay and the main room and bathroom was cleaned every day except Sunday. The kitchen area is for the guest to do. Kettle, hob, microwave and coffee maker supplied but no toaster and tea cups not mugs which came as a surprise. The shop on site has everything you need and is open every day. Meals can be taken in the hotel or at restaurants on site. The fantastic beach is a short walk and quite a few steps (a lift is available when the restaurant is open but there are still steps top and bottom) away.
