8.6/10 Excellent! (545 reviews)
Good location and great access to the beach and Alvor town.
We had a great weekend away, but for the money we paid the property was quite tired, old and needing some renovations.
The food was good (at the bar - buffet was underwhelming). Free car parking and WiFi appreciated.
