The hotel is very big. We stayed on the 5th floor with a beach/garden view which was simply beautiful. The sunsets were perfect. The rooms were perfectly adequate and comfortable with two single beds pushed together, table, TV, chairs etc. The bathroom had two sinks, bidet, toilet and shower/bath. The only downside to the room was the shower. It was... More

I picked the Alvor Praiai wanting a nice quite holiday and got exactly what I was looking for. Pestana owning a number of hotels in the area and this one is geared towards the more discerning traveller and to buiness people with conference rooms available.

The room was spacious, comfortable and nice and clean. Our only critisisum, was the fact that it did not have coffee... More

The buffet breakfast was excellent and had a great variety. We walked into Alvor each evening which is about a 2km walk (alternatively it is a 4euro taxi which... More
