Aguahotels Alvor

"After staying here last year, we decided to return for a longer holiday. This is a small quiet friendly hotel and all the staff are polite, helpful and attentive. We had a large room ( junior suite) at the front of the hotel with a decent sized balcony, which we used for several hours every day as the sun was on it all afternoon. The noise from the traffic didn't bother us even at night and there were far reaching views of the sea and over to Lagos. The location was great being only a ten minute walk into the centre of Alvor and the supermarket only a couple of minutes away. A taxi back from the harbour to the hotel cost less than 5Eur, more at the weekend. For us, the proximity to the Eden Restaurant proved to be a bonus. The housekeeping team worked very hard and our room was cleaned to a very good standard. One down side to the room, as others have mentioned is the lack of drawer space. However this year we came prepared with compression packing cubes and this worked a treat in keeping smaller items of clothing etc from slipping off the shelves. We did attend one of the Managers meetings with guests, over a drink and the Hotel Management are well aware of the fact that drawers in the room would make people happier and are looking into it. Breakfast was very enjoyable with a good choice of cooked items, as well as bread, rolls, cheese, ham, fruit, juice, pastries etc. Snacks were also available at the pool bar until 6.00pm. The pool itself is absolutely freezing but once in it was lovely. The sun lounges were comfortable and we were always able to get one where we wanted even though the hotel was busy. All in all we enjoyed our stay very much, the weather for late October was pretty near perfect and we hope to be back next year."

"We visited this hotel for a second time and were not disappointed. We had a premium room with a huge balcony on the fourth floor,which was light and airy,the beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was large with a great walk in shower. Breakfast was plentiful with lots of choice to set you up for the day.The staff are all friendly without being intrusive, but always ready to answer any questions or give advice on good resteraunts or places to visit,it is only a ten minute walk into town or a leisurely twenty if you go the long way along the boardwalk by the beach. Housekeeping again is efficient, and you are visited daily to check towels, etc. All in all a lovely stay and we will visit again."

"Not very near places to go .had taxis which worked out very expensive .also to eat out was very expensive.hotel clean friendly enough they did not replace any drinks for tray or sani bags neither did they wash your cups etc.didnt matter but was lacking little touches which would of been nice for little effort.beds great also good shower."
