"Very clean hotel in all areas including the pool, the room itself, the restaurant and outside eating areas. All the staff were lovely. Check in was smooth and speedy & front desk team so helpful when booking the waterpark (and got us a discount), taxi to the airport (which was cheaper than Uber) and generally great. Breakfast excellent. Great choice from cooked to fresh bakery items and the best freshly squeezed orange juice! The bar and restaurant team were all so helpful especially with my daughter who has an allergy. Hotel is in perfect location for walking to the beach but also the town with all the restaurants / cafes. The room was much bigger than it looked on the website and big balcony overlooking the pool. Was stocked with everything you need if planning on preparing meals. Swimming pool was a great size and so good to have the indoor pool plus jacuzzi. Had no problems getting loungers around the outdoor pool, towels were put out early but still always loungers available. Overall we loved this hotel and the staff. Would highly recommend!"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Alvor?
The best area to stay in Alvor is the Old Town and its immediate surroundings, offering a blend of traditional charm and convenient access to the beach.This area is the heart of Alvor, characterised by its narrow, cobbled streets, whitewashed buildings, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. It's very walkable, with most of the town's restaurants, bars, and shops clustered around the main church square (Igreja Matriz de Alvor) and along the picturesque waterfront promenade. You'll find the fishing boats coming and going from the harbour, adding to the local character.Couples looking for a romantic getaway will find the Old Town particularly appealing. The evenings offer plenty of opportunities for leisurely strolls, enjoying a meal at a waterside restaurant, or listening to live music in one of the quaint bars. The proximity to the Alvor Estuary boardwalk also provides lovely scenic walks, especially at sunset.For families, staying near the Old Town but closer to Alvor Beach provides the best of both worlds. This area offers easy access to the expansive sandy beach, which is ideal for children, while still being a short walk from the Old Town's amenities. Many accommodations here cater to families, often featuring pools and more spacious rooms.
When is the best time to go to Alvor?
The best time to go to Alvor is during the shoulder seasons of May, June, September, and October.During these months, the weather is pleasantly warm without being excessively hot, making it ideal for exploring the village and enjoying the beaches. You'll find fewer crowds compared to the peak summer months, allowing for a more relaxed experience at restaurants and attractions. The sea is also warm enough for swimming, and activities like boat trips are readily available.For couples looking for a romantic getaway, these months offer a superb balance. You can enjoy strolls along the boardwalk and the sandy beaches, dine al fresco at the many excellent seafood restaurants, and experience the village's charm without the bustling crowds of July and August.Families with younger children might also find the shoulder seasons preferable. The milder temperatures are more comfortable for little ones, and the beaches are less crowded, offering more space for play. Many family-friendly activities, like paddleboarding or kayaking, are still easily accessible.While July and August offer the warmest weather and liveliest atmosphere, they also bring the largest crowds and highest prices.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
