When we first arrived I have to admit that I did panic as it seemed as if we were in the ar*ehole of nowhere!! But after a few hours we were in our element. This was our honeymoon & we took our 8 month old son with us. The rooms were lovely, very clean & staff were very friendly. We... more

We had not booked and were surprised to have such difficulties finding a room, as there was a portuguese national holiday. We were lucky to get a bad at the Yellow hotel, but this is about it. The hotel is quite out of town in an appartment complex. The staff was unfriendly and we had to pay the whole stay... more

This was our 5th consecutive year at the Yellow Alvor (formerly Iberotel ) and we were not dissapointed.Yes the food can be a bit "samey" , especially breakfast , but you are not paying the prices for Cordon Bleu or cooked to order food and the beauty of the "Buffet Style service" is that you can mix & match as... more

Very small reception area and bar seating approx. 50. Junior suite - room ok but balcony very small. Rooms cleaned daily and linen/towels changed. little entertainment & insufficient room to sit. Restaurant - staff pleasant, breakfasts poor, fried eggs once in 10 days, bacon 1/2 cooked or burnt. Dinner reasonable selection. hotel bus 4 times per day, 20 m in... more

Myself and my boyfriend visited the hotel at the beginning of September. We arrived late at night and the receptionist didn't even acknowledge us as he seemed to be chatting to a friend on the phone. When we were finally given the key to our room, we were at first quite happy. The rooms are modern and have a fridge/... more

Just got back, i had an amazing time. Yes it is a bit far away from other things, but there is a free bus every few hours from the hotel to Alvor town and beach and you can catch it back. Once you get used to the buses its an ok journey and its not even that much of a... more

Returned yesterday from the the Yellow Hotel in Alvor. Had to get away from yet another wet British summer and booked this holiday fairly last minute. Wasn't disappointed by the weather, and the hotel is situated in a quiet location away from the town. The approach to the hotel is through a complex of self-catering holiday apartments that have seen... more

just back yesterday, loved Alvor but not the hotel. Pool Area - very nice pool, lots of loungers available at all times, and generally felt like you had plenty space. Room - was pretty small, balcony tiny. A light on the balcony would have been nice! No facilities for making a hot drink. On plus side, good aircon, fridge useful... more
