1st the pros, spectacular hotel in beautiful surroundings, the grounds are immaculate and right on the beautiful beach. We stayed for Christmas on a half board basis. Christmas eve was amazing! Delicious food and free drinks, however the Christmas day gala was extremely disappointing, very poor food ( if any ) in the restaurant, I realise this maybe because the Portuguese celebration is Xmas eve, that being said the rest of the food throughout the holiday was very good, plenty of choice. The drinks in the bar were very expensive and one bar staff member made it plainly obvious he didn't want to be there, we waited such a long time for drinks even when not busy as he would try to look like he was occupied with something else! In the end we took our own drinks which worked out perfectly. All in all a wonderful escape from the British Xmas and a beautiful hotel

10/10 stay, once again thanks to Lourdes and all the other staff working at the hotel . It was my second stay here and I’ve been very well looked after both times. The room, amenities, service and everything else was all top notch. Will be visiting again soon!

We moved to this hotel, having been at another one, so we were delighted when we were greeted with a lovely reception and a drink. The weather was awful when we were here but still had a lovely time. I imagine in the summer when it's hot, its amazing! The Room: AMAZING. So spacious and bright. Had an outside terrace with loungers and was close to everything in block 2. Had robes and slippers. Big towels (which I love) and nice showering products. The cleaning was exceptional. My partner loved the Nespresso coffee machine in the room and always topped up on water. Only criticism from me is I felt the bed was a bit firm (but personal preference). The Hotel: The grounds are lovely, really well maintained and just a really nice resort. SPA was amazing; spent many hours here (due to the poor weather) and felt very grateful to have this space. I imagine it could get busy in peak season and not huge. Staff in the Spa were also lovely. Easy to walk to the beach over the bridge or down to the roundabout. Pools were lovely and well-maintained. Plenty of sunbeds around and sunbed service with drinks. Food/Drinks: As a picky eater with lactose intolerance, I found plenty to eat. It was hot and had lots of variety. Though it was good quality compared to all other all-inclusives. Ice cream was delicious. The drinks were great, lots of branded alcohol and white wine was good, given it was an all-inclusive. There are 3 a-la cartes, we ate at one of them and the pizza was amazing! Throughly enjoyed a more restauranty feel. Snack bar is basically a restaurant, never had such a fancy snack bar! Staff: All absolutely lovely and very attentive. Didn't really ever lift a finger. Entertainment: This was okay; I feel like it is probably much better in peak season. For example said there was live music, but it was instrumental and just a bit boring. It kind of felt like background music as opposed to the entertainment for the evening. To improve: - We had to check out at 12pm but we weren't being picked up for our transfer until 4:30 pm with our TUI package and we were told we couldn't eat, drink or use any facilities. I personally think this is really poor given we couldn't check-in on the first day. - The weather was not their fault obviously; but it would have been nice if they had tried to organise more indoor activities to get involved in as there is very little to do otherwise.

We are currently staying here and what a great hotel. Perfect location and extremely clean. All the staff are super friendly but a special mention to Marcelo, he has looked after us so well and always has a smile on his face. Big thank you Marcelo you legend!!!

The owners have spent money on the hotel to improve the look and appeal, although despite this there are several things that let it down. We booked a Superior sea-view room and on arrival (our room was not ready as we were early) we were informed that, our room would be on the second floor. We were then placed on the fourth floor and were assured that it was a Superior Sea-view room. The room was tastefully decorated, but a little tired with a partial sea-view - large tree obscuring the sea and with a small bathroom. First night; beds and pillows very uncomfortable, needless to say we didn’t have any good nights sleep for the week we were there (requested pillow exchanges which didn’t help). The room was very hot, twice we reported that the AC wasn’t cooling and asked for a fan which didn’t appear. Housekeeping didn’t refill the fridge with water, nor replenish teas/coffee’s. We asked several times for more water and wondered if they were chargeable? On checking with reception, we were assured they were complimentary - after this our fridge was restocked everyday. Bathroom exchange bidet and face clothes -took them away and didn’t leave replacements). With all our negatives, the location was perfect and staff where friendly.

A truly great experience!! Room was comfortable and housekeeping excellent. Well placed with a view of the Marina. The highlight of each morning of my 5 night stay was the Breakfast. Fantastic choice and everything well cooked and presented. The staff, particularly the trainees, were always friendly and obliging. I couldn't fault anything about the Breakfast at all. The situation of the Hotel was ideal for me but might not suit everyone as it was sited out of the Town. A beautiful beach was adjacent to the Hotel and even out of season there were a variety of Restaurants nearby. All staff, the Receptionists, Restaurant staff and Housekeeping were outstanding, always greeted me with a smile and very helpful.

We are just home from spending a week here with our two young children and we really enjoyed it. Its maybe worth noting that the hotel didn't seem too busy, especially for our first few days. Positives: -Brilliant pool with plenty of sunloungers. -Room was spacious and clean. Beds made and towels replenished daily. -Staff were all fantastic and very friendly. The entertainment team were brilliant with our eldest, as were the staff in the kids club. The restaurant staff were amazing too and loved chatting to our youngest. -Our eldest loved the mini disco which is on every evening. She is still singing all the songs! -Great choice of all inclusive drinks & we had no issues with queues. Negatives, although we would definitely return: -We enjoyed the food but probably important to note we'd try anything. Some days there wasn't a great choice for kids, i.e. chicken nuggets etc. Our daughters pretty much lived on spaghetti bolognese. There were 2 BBQ nights which were amazing! The garlic bread was 🙌 -We paid extra for a pool view however depending on the entertainment at night, it could be very noisy. If we went back, I'd enquire about quieter rooms. -We knew before booking, but just to highlight that the rooms aren't completely separate as there is a gap at the top of the wall. The extra bed for our eldest was in the living area. -Maybe bring some string or a travel washing line as there isn't anything provided on the balcony for drying clothes and towels. -Its maybe common in Portugal but we found everything was quite late, i.e. dinner starts at 6.30 and kids disco at 8.30. The hotel is about a ten minute walk into Alvor which is worth a visit. We also went on the bus provided to the beach. However we mostly stayed around the pool and made the most of the facilities 🙂
