Pestana Alvor Atlântico Residences

Lovely apartments, close to the beach. Clean and only a short taxi or 15mins walk into alvor centre. Would definitely stay again

While our room had a nice view the property is dated and not well maintained with flooring warping, walls scruffed and marked, towels threadbare and stained. Outdoor pool is actually at resort next door and they offer no dedicated beach facilities such as loungers or sunshades for their guests. Totally disappointed with hotel and not up to the expected standards of the Pesatana brand.

Have stayed many times and still does not disappoint! Fabulous location, good size studio with great view and front desk staff are amazing! Just a thought though ,that whereas pool towels were provided by the hotel in past years, this has changed so take your own .

Not as nice as the pictures make it look

Although a little dated, the apartments are functional and clean with access to facilities at the main hotel (200m for breakfast/bar) and beachfront restaurants/facilities. Lots to do nearby and away from the livelier centre of Alvor. Could be improved with in room hairdryers as not enough to go round (17 available vs 70+ apartments). Great location for boardwalk and beach. Recommended for a short stay to explore the region.

1. No longer necessary to check in on arrival at HOTEL. It is open at Atlantico 24 hrs for check-in. 2. Appt. not totally clean. Dead. Flies on standard lamp, otherwise O.K. 3. 2 ins long plus feallers cockroach at midnight in bathroom. Killed it. 4. Next morning told reception whose attitude "We have an infiltration of them" Charmimg I said. 5. Apart from that the receptionist attitude at all times was very aggressive and not helpful.

Very nice close to beach and lots to do

Not allocated correct room on arrival but soon changed when reception advised.

Excellent facilities. Good communication. Near beaches

We arrived early but couldn't get into room until three, this was then further delayed, as the cleaning hadn't been completed, so we finally got in around 3:20pm. The apartment was not as big as in the photos, however the corner apartments seemed to be bigger, but ours was in the middle. Although small, it was well equipped with everything you need, but nowhere to hang wet towels and swimwear on the balcony. The beds were lumpy and uncomfortable. It felt as if hard springs were digging into my knees and ribs. The hotel seemed a little 'tired', although clean and tidy. The view of the sea was spectacular, as was listening to the waves rolling in. The staff were helpful and our broken shower head was quickly replaced. We tried a buffet meal at the Pestana Dom Joao 11, (next door) however, on the night we went, the food was very disappointing, and we have since complained. The beach is beautiful and the wooden boardwalk makes walking the 2km into town much easier than walking along the sand. Once there, you can partake of almost any kind of food. The restaurants we tried were all excellent. The town of Alvor is pleasant and quaint.
