The property needs a proper looking at. The balcony of some rooms opens on to the road where you can literally hop in. Our balcony doors were all broken so you could have someone walk in through it absolutely with ease. We did not therefore end up using both the rooms as we did not feel comfortable to let kids sleep in a room that could be accessed from the balcony. We ended up cramming all in 1 room. The Food is absolutely NOT 4 star but it seems it is pointless mentioning that as I can see the hotel has bad reviews about its food since 2019 so it seems the kitchen manager/head chef must be a relative of the owners or the owner themselves. If you are a vegetarian or eat just Chicken or white meat, DO NOT book here. I ate just salad and chips for 3 days twice a day as there was literally no alternative. The food tasted really not good either so had to eat everything with ketchup and mayo to get some taste. The staff were incredible though. Very friendly and the swimming pools were great although due to the cold weather, we did not enter the pool even once in a week as it was freezing in the water. Overall, I won't recommend the hotel if you're after food and decor but for staff and facilities, I might come back.

Adequate stay DREADFUL FOOD
Arrived at 11am, and was allowed into our rooms early and was given a bracelet for food and drink straight away which was great. Unfortunately it went down hill fast. The food on the sunday was HORRIFIC, now I am not a picky eater in fact I look at reviews and think these guys are just super picky. but lunch and dinner was possibly the worse food in have ever eaten, it was overcooked and one friend spent 10 minutes chewing one piece of meat. The following two days we ate out for the main meal of the day, however, breakfast was nice on both days and the lunches there after were adequate. Rooms are old fashioned but clean. They did the job for what we wanted them for. The hotel only has one main tv and the evening entertainment was adult focused. (this wasn't an issue for us as we drank in the bars and pubs every night.) locally it is nice a 10 minute walk to the main Alvor town that has all the amenities. BASED PURELY ON THE FOOD I WILL NOT BE GOING BACK.

Great value and great staff
The 2 high points of this hotel are the staff who are all so friendly and helpful and the gardens and pool area are beautiful. It's a bit of a walk to the pubs and beach so we were glad to have a rental car but we would definitely go back.

The hotel was good in parts.
Great staff who went above and beyond. OK rooms with air con and a good bathroom. Disappointed with the restaurant. Hot food was never labelled so everyone had to keep lifting the lids cooling it to see what was there then we had to ask staff what each dish was. A simple label would have solved that. Also breakfast was the same every single day. Great outdoor pool and bar, shame the indoor pool was not heated. Not the location for anyone without a car as it is quite a way out of town. The beaches were fabulous when we did go there.

Had lovely time
This hotel is definately not a 4* as described. The hotel rooms are dated and extremely basic. The hotel description was also not entirely accurate. It stated satalite TV . However, my TV had around 8 channels and no english news channel. The description also said toiletries provided. I received 2 sachets of shampoo and shower gel. The hotel also doesnt provide pool towels. The pool area has 2 lovely lakes, it is clean,spacious and beautiful. The pool staff, Daniella and Marcos were lovely, friendly , chatty, very helpful and professional. Oh and Marcos makes a fabulous Gin and Tonic! The food was really nice. Some people complained it wasnt hot enough and used the microwave. There was also a varied selection to choose from and you certainly wouldnt go hungry. The hotel has an indoor pool, a steam room and a sauna. There is also a small gym. You had to ask reception to turn the steam room on and its was set on a timer which had to be activated again by a key and the reception staff. Regardless of that this was a really nice addition to the hotel, especially as the weather was a bit hit and miss. Overall, I found this hotel a pleasant place to stay.I arrived at the hotel for check in at 11.45 pm and they gave me a food parcel, because I had missed dinner. I thought this was a really lovely touch. I would recommend this hotel, but would suggest that you take your own toiletries, and pool towel. The staff are really nice and genuinely helpful.

Dont go there unless you are Portugese...
No Iron in the room. Laundry facility available to iron individual garments at a price per item. Limited swimming towels. I was given a ripped old towel to use for the duration of the holiday. Limited sun beds, had to lie on the lawn Lack of entertainment. Karaoke singing every night, guests sat around doing nothing. It was very boring in the evenings as there was nothing to do close to the hotel. No bars or restaurants. Restaurants were a taxis drive away, but closed around 10am. Very limited things to do. No Games room (i.e. pool table, board games, toys etc) Limited variety of food. In particular around breakfast. Ridiculous waiting time for food at the pool side mini bar, only available between 4-5pm, with at least 45 mins wait. (Chips, burgers and rolls available). Chips served in between breakfast and lunchtime were cardboard cold. The beaches were ok, but not fantastic. Limited restaurants near the beach.

not the 4 star hotel experience
When i booked this hotel it was rated 4 star on arrival it was clear that it was not , the breakfast food which we only tried once was the poorest quality i have ever come across , i am pretty sure the scrambled eggs were powder , the cereal was stale , everything was the cheapest quality and we decided to eat outside of the hotel from that moment . The bed linen was old and tatty , there was no iron available in the hotel , i had to go to the nearest supermarket and buy one much to the receptionists amusement . There was very little sun loungers available at the pool , so we used the pool by my friends hotel . At the end of the day we decide that there was a clean bed and shower and that we would make do and never return .

Hotel was very quite with a relaxed atmosphere.
Grounds were very nice and very well maintained. The Pool was very nice with lots of sun all day. The hotel could have more to do, games room etc, sports bar and more relaxed seating areas. Possibily make over the out door seating area near the main resturant with comfy seats, this would help give the hotel more of a welcoming feeling.

Good quality clean and freindly hotel
Couldn't believe our luck at getting this hotel in a package deal, expected much worse. Clean room, very freindly staff; they even had a packed dinner for us on arrival, as we were too late for the meal. Hotel and the room spotless, both cleaned daily. Great pool, cleaned every morning, not too busy, no need to reserve a lounger. Pool bar with drinks all day and evening. All the food and drink we could want, but this are Portugese chefs trying to make UK food, so it's not great, only exceptable. We ate out most lunchtimes. A fair distance to beach, but many walked it, we took a cab, they are not that expensive. Pro: Hotel, Staff, Pool, quiet location. Con: Food, distance to beach. Overall, very happy with hotel and would recommend it.

Pool area was outstanding
Went for a four day relaxation vacation, hotel was clean the scenery was beautiful though wow this will be a good break. The beds were not the comfiest I've slept on better beds at premier inn, the only decent food available was the cakes the food was not fantastic and you could find more flavour in a doner kebab shop, I would recommend this hotel to a friend if they got new chefs in to show Portuguese cuisine at its finest. I can't say that I heard dogs barking through the night like in other reviews, but it could of been I was not staying in that part of the hotel. My partner and I took a stroll to the beach about 45 mins but we didn't have directions so there could be a quicker route looked around some shops on the way to, the beach is absolutely stunning and suggest spending a day here there are cafés to have a meal. The pool area was beautiful

Good Value
The hotel offers good value with all inclusive so if you are looking for a no thrills with food selection and drinks but a fairly decent offer then this could be for you . The staff were very friendly and the hotel had a good feel about it .Relaxed and comfortable. There were some issues with food selection but generally it was ok ,many other guests however would say otherwise. For us it ticked most of our boxes and we would consider returning for a similar price. Ensure you get a room with a pool or garden view ,one side of the hotel overlooks a very dilapidated hotel and car park . I think it was probably a little gem in its time and is now struggling to keep afloat in the current market but all the same the team of staff appear to be trying really hard . Overall if you have a relaxed approach to holidays ,don't get too upset by range of foods and if you have the humour to deal with the entertaining chaos that can ensue from all inclusive snack time by the pool ( just drink more beer while you are waiting !)and don't have expectations of everything being perfect then you are likely to enjoy your stay here .

Big hotel, not enough staff
Hotel was ok, but with a holiday camp feel. Pool area was nice, with plenty of sun beds, but the service at the pool side bar was awful. There was only one member of staff at one point serving loads of guests so we waited over 15 mins. to be served then gave up. The breakfast was poor but other meals were ok. The room was ok, but the beds were very uncomfortable.
