Santo Agostinho Holidays from £211

There was a spa aheated pool,jacuzzi sauna you had to book a hour slot and it was with upto 8 other guests unfortunately at our slot it was a single man just staring at what we were doing so not very relaxing!At evening meals you had to purchase water if you wanted adrink.in our room a bottle of water was provided every day, A/C was broken nothing was said untill we said we were too hot then a fan was provided.also the tap only trickled out if was on hot some of furniture alittle tired looking,but pillows& bed very comfortable.Evening meal was buffet not much choice but always a fish/ meat dish not great for veggies but fresh salad available every night at this resort i think I might of preferred a beachfront hotel.

Nice, large hotel suited for families and golfers. Room was nice and spacious with double sink bathroom. Staff were really helpful which was nice, especially finding our room which was one of the villas outside. Breakfast was ok but appreciated they have labels to show allergens, although disappointed that they paired the bread with the bacon. I’m gluten free and unfortunately both sections of bacon had bread underneath which seemed a bit ridiculous because there is a whole bread/pastry section.

My stay at Pestana Alvor Praia exceeded expectations. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel right at home with their genuine friendliness and helpful attitude. The attention to detail in room cleanliness and maintenance was top-notch—everything felt fresh, comfortable, and very well kept. Between the warm service and fantastic facilities, we had a truly relaxing stay. We will definitely be returning!

We stayed as a family at the Grand Muthu Oura Beach Club for a few nights at the beginning of November. We arrived really early but the lovely staff were good enough to let us check in straight away. The room was HUGE, but we felt it and the rest of the hotel could have done with a little updating and modernisation. It did seem that some work was underway as we often saw builders, but they never made noise. The bed was very comfortable though, and the water pressure in the shower, was amazing. The daily buffets provided for breakfast, lunch, and dinner were nice, but we also felt that they could have been a bit more inspirational. Whilst it may only have been grand in name, we would re-visit the same area but try one of the other (numerous) Muthu branded hotels.
