Hotels near Charlies Place in Alvor

Fantastic hotel. Rooms cleaned every day location great. Reception staff very helpful and always had a smile Big thank you to Thomas ( I think that’s his name) at reception. Almost every night we asked him for directions to restaurants/ bus stops etc and he was so good at explaining it to us. Lovely pool area small but quiet and relaxing Breakfast staff were fine but a simple smile in the morning would have been nice A bit “ grumpy “ to say the least. Umberto was just great. He’s the tall one. Always had the biggest smile for you when we walked in. Very very nice man. Would recommend this hotel. If I ever return to ALVOR , I will certainly return to this hotel. !!! Just to say the jet 2 rep was wonderful. I took ILL one morning and she went above and beyond to help me. Phoned later that day to check on me and also the following day too. Wish I could remember her name. So a big thank you to her !!!

We stayed in the Alvor Atlantico Hotel for nearly three weeks and would recommend. We had a Studio Superior, with a Sea View. We were on the 7th floor and the view was absolutely beautiful, we could see all of the beach from the beach at the Atlantida Restaurant to the very end. It was lovely to wake up to. The hotel itself was very quiet, there's no bar, there is an indoor pool, which we didn't use and it was also very clean. The Studio was well equipped with a 2 ring cooker, fridge and plates and cutlery, we had a problem with the cooker and the kettle which was sorted out for us, no problem. We had one rainy day when we didn't fancy going into Alvor, you can book dinner (or breakfast) in the Dom Joao Hotel, which we did for the one night, it was only a 5 minute walk away. It was buffet style but was very good. It's a 20 minute walk into the harbour or centre of Alvor on the boardwalk which was a nice way to start the evening. We will definitely stay here again. The beds were comfortable, a bit hard for my personal liking, the shower was good with plenty of pressure, so all in all would recommend.

I would love to give this place a poor review to put people off going so I could keep it for myself but that would be doing the staff a real disservice. I can't fault this place at all- the place was spotless inside and out and the rooms were well equipped with fridge ,safe and air conditioning and lovely hot showers. The breakfast had something for everyone and changed each day. The staff are the real star of the show though and nothing is too much trouble. We mentioned we were looking for worry beads and the next thing we knew one of the waitresses at breakfast went across the street and brought back a selection for us to choose from and purchase from the shop opposite. Special mention to Ioanna who was so friendly and up for a laugh she really made our holiday. Great Central location but quiet with a lovely small pool and pool area. Can't wait to come back!

Fui informada a 10/07 que clientes exteriores não podem usar a piscina, apenas em setembro. Tenho pessoas amigas que foram a 09/07 e puderam....afinal uns podem, outros não.Lamentável a atitude de quem me atendeu que confrontado com isto ainda me respondeu que a medida tinha entrado em vigor a 10/07 o que não faz sentido abdolutamente nenhum.

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.

The Pelican Alvor was a lovely quiet hotel a 15 minute walk from Alvor Town centre. The room was the best we've stayed in for years, big spacious and had a kitchen area and separate bedroom area. Breakfast was OK but not brilliant. I was happy with toast and cereal, there was a limited cooked selection. We did sometimes find the English breakfast tea had run out. The hotel had a supermarket 10 minutes away which sold everything we needed. The hotel was very quiet and had no entertainment, luckily Alvor is close by and a taxi home was 5 euros. The pool area was OK but sometimes we struggled to get an umbrella for our loungers. Also the loungers on the grass meant the chance to get an insect bite for free. The staff were really friendly and we had drinks in the bar area. The hotel has a lovely quiet vibe and we are already booked to return next year.

This hotel location is somewhat biased, it is not recommended to live, you can live in the west side of Lagos, there is more prosperous, the navigation belt driving at night is very biased. Our family is cautiously driving, but the hotel itself has no problem. Very good, drive to the big supermarket and dock restaurant area in 5 minutes, but this is not too developed, so it seems very biased

I stayed here for a week the room had a problem with shower toilet headboard and glass partition on balcony none of the above bothered me as I still found the hotel to be basic but alright, however I am gluten free, whilst they had special guests stopping they couldn't cater enough so first three days where brilliant, when the special guests checked out the gluten free bread cakes and quasisnts were no longer an option the gluten free sausages were also not an option, I asked staff which were rude and said if have issue raise with reception, I found it easier to buy my own bread for the rest of the holiday and just have beans from the breakfast buffet, would have definitely recommend to coeliac friends and family however seems they can only cater when they have special guests which is ashame

Arrived Friday midday, pleasant and helpful reception staff, easy check in and hotel looked recently renovated with well presented and modern lobby. We unpacked into a large two bed apartment, three flatscreens and sofa, large fridge freezer and all accessories required for comfortable self catering. We spent a nice afternoon at a quiet pool among other families and couples (pool is freezing cold). This is where the good news ended. Around 5pm two coach loads of students descended onto the hotel with shopping carts (actual shopping carts) loaded with speakers and party signs. Our stomachs sank as did our 7yr olds, intimidated by rowdy youths in the elevator. I enquired at the front desk as to the situation and was met with the news that the party had booked almost the entire hotel out of rooms. The Flor Da Rocha sells the rooms as part of a student party package at various times throughout the year, see screen grab. The sequence of events is as follows; two coaches arrive mid afternoon, the lobby and swimming pool both flood with loud students and then the speakers appear on the balcony’s facing the pool area blasting music. Short lull when they dissipate to the supermarket for alcohol then from 9pm (when the families are settling the children) the noise begins again with shouting / singing / Macarena etc etc. people hanging over balcony’s with guitars, clapping and jeering. No intervention from hotel staff whatsoever. It comes as no surprise the in room telephone also doesn’t work when trying to contact reception. The fact Jet2 are marketing this hotel as a family friendly holiday is ridiculous. No sleep for a family of four for the first two nights of a seven night holiday. We selected Praia Da Rocha as a family friendly alternative to the usual stag and hen locations, what possesses the place to host a two day student bender is beyond me. Unfortunately, this is the second time Jet2 have let us down and we should’ve known better than to travel with them again. The rest of the week was fine although the students continue to come and go, fortunately for us the rest seemed to be athletes / youth groups rather than organised party goers. Given time and money has been spent to update the hotel it’s a real shame they choose to recoup this at the detriment to family and couple guests in an otherwise quiet resort.

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 🙂
