Alvor Hotels with Gym

The owners have spent money on the hotel to improve the look and appeal, although despite this there are several things that let it down. We booked a Superior sea-view room and on arrival (our room was not ready as we were early) we were informed that, our room would be on the second floor. We were then placed on the fourth floor and were assured that it was a Superior Sea-view room. The room was tastefully decorated, but a little tired with a partial sea-view - large tree obscuring the sea and with a small bathroom. First night; beds and pillows very uncomfortable, needless to say we didn’t have any good nights sleep for the week we were there (requested pillow exchanges which didn’t help). The room was very hot, twice we reported that the AC wasn’t cooling and asked for a fan which didn’t appear. Housekeeping didn’t refill the fridge with water, nor replenish teas/coffee’s. We asked several times for more water and wondered if they were chargeable? On checking with reception, we were assured they were complimentary - after this our fridge was restocked everyday. Bathroom exchange bidet and face clothes -took them away and didn’t leave replacements). With all our negatives, the location was perfect and staff where friendly.

We last stayed at The Penina 27 years ago and I can honestly say that it has hardly changed. The hotel needs a complete facelift. Peeling paint on the hotel exterior is everywhere. Access to the golf driving range and other amenities is dreadful. At this time it is a bit like spot the guest. Sunday afternoon, just a maximum of 10 people at the pool. The restaurant likewise. Hardly any patrons and a total lack of atmosphere. The sad fact is that if people stop visiting, the hotel will die a miserable death. I cannot understand why there is a two tier system for wifi. Surely most hotels now offer this for free. On the plus side throughout the hotel the staff are delightful with many having been here for many years. There are about five restaurants but there never seems to be more than three open at any one time. They do offer very good food which is really inexpensive and of good quality. The buffet breakfast is extensive with more than enough choices. We would love to come next year and bring our whole family, but quite honestly I couldnt do that with what I have seen over the last 5 days. My view is that unless the management do something really proactive that with the intense competition elsewhere this once really lovely hotel is going to fail. Having said all of the above, the cost of the accommodation was competetive and good value. We have enjoyed ourselves and give all credit to the wonderful staff without whom this would be a very different place.

The staff is great, the hotel is on the beach, the food service works very well and is of high quality. The SPA provided a great massage treatment, kudos to Anita! Plus the customer service, from the whole floor from Gabriela, to the front desk’s Helena and from the restaurant Mafalda. A great experience overall. A great place for your family vacation with the kids. Highly recommended!!

We’ve just returned from a week at Tivoli, Alvor, the weather has been amazing, we didn’t see a cloud all week, unfortunately the hotel really didn’t meet our expectations. There are so many areas across the hotel that could be improved, that really would have changed our experience. Firstly the pool areas, there aren’t enough sunbeds for guests. The sunbeds they do have are all pushed together, with no space between you and the next family. Getting a sunbed was also another issue, people were out reserving sunbeds first thing and we saw towels out all day without anyone return. Due to the number of guests in the hotel, on occasions towels had ran out by early afternoon. It’s not something we really expected from a 5* hotel. It’s been mentioned in other reviews, but expect to queue, I understand it’s August, but there clearly weren’t enough staff to cope with the number of guests. We queued for drinks, breakfast, lunch, dinner, booking restaurants, the BBQ…the list goes on. They often ran out of cutlery, glasses and plates. We did really feel for the staff, who were obviously under pressure, but I would say while we came across some lovely friendly staff members, we also encountered lots of staff who were unhelpful and quite rude. The food was average, pretty hit and miss, it did get quite repetitive. The Mexican night was our favourite, but only one chef serving the amount of guests, We did really love the train to Alvor and the beach was amazing. The room was cleaned daily, but was quite small for the 4 of us. For the price we paid for the holiday, we were really disappointed.

Ignore the negative reviews on here, people are just fuss pots! It’s a beautiful hotel (definitely worthy of its 4 stars), very clean and the staff are fantastic, so kind, helpful and friendly. As parents of 3 boys all under 6 the hotel was perfect for us. If you’re a couple looking for some peace and quite this is probably the wrong hotel but if you have children then it’s brilliant. Everything from the rooms, pool, the splash pool, playground and the food is catered for children. We emailed ahead of our stay and asked if we could have two single beds in the living room area rather than a sofa bed. This was no trouble and when we arrived there were two single beds in the living room and the cot bed was all set up for our baby. There is a great variety of food, something for everyone. My boys ate so well and not just all the desserts at the dessert buffet!! The staff in the restaurant were lovely, nothing is too much trouble and they were fantastic with children - chatting and interacting with them! There’s a separate buffet hall for adults and those with children over 12. The pool is huge. It does get busy but the hotel allow inflatables which are lots of fun. The splash pool and slide is great for little ones. The pool bar does get busy but there were always 3 members of staff serving and we never waited more than a few minutes to get drinks. We had a fantastic stay and will definitely be returning. Thank you Alvor Baía!
