This hotel is situated on an absolutely gorgeous beach. Lots of areas to explore right at your fingertips. Breakfast was excellent and service friendly. The only issue was AC. You have no control over it, and it shuts off whenever there is no movement in the room (ie. whenever you leave during the day or are asleep at night). During a heat wave this made sleeping very uncomfortable.

Lovely hotel overlooking the beach. Staff were very welcoming. Very pleasant walk into Alvor along boardwalk. We were given an upgrade to our room which was a nice surprise. Breakfast had a great selection on offer. We preferred to eat in bar as opposed to the buffet in the main restaurant. Very enjoyable stay overall.

It’s a beautiful property with amazing access to the beach, but the rooms are old. It needs refurbishment, and it needs a lot of love. (to be honest it is not a five star room to any standards.) however the staff is amazing. Amazing breakfast the most beautiful view you can imagine and private access to the beach. Makes it a fantastic place to stay if you’re looking for a four star hotel

We had a fantastic stay at the Pestana Alvor Praia Premium Resort. Our room had a lovely ocean view and the loungers on our balcony were a welcome touch to enjoy a glass of wine after a busy day. The hotel has direct access to a beautiful white sand public beach where we enjoyed swimming and exploring the rocks and caves along the coast. There are private canopies and loungers available for rent with a small discount for hotel guests. This was worth the fee to have some shade and be off the hot sand. We really enjoyed the extensive breakfast buffet that was included; with hot and cold options, lots of fresh fruit and juices, mimosas, lattes etc Great choice available! The hotel itself was very clean and the staff are excellent; cheerful and helpful. We didn’t catch his name but the young man at reception who checked us in was outstanding and made our stay! Would highly recommend this hotel!
