Hotels in Prainha, Alvor

I would love to give this place a poor review to put people off going so I could keep it for myself but that would be doing the staff a real disservice. I can't fault this place at all- the place was spotless inside and out and the rooms were well equipped with fridge ,safe and air conditioning and lovely hot showers. The breakfast had something for everyone and changed each day. The staff are the real star of the show though and nothing is too much trouble. We mentioned we were looking for worry beads and the next thing we knew one of the waitresses at breakfast went across the street and brought back a selection for us to choose from and purchase from the shop opposite. Special mention to Ioanna who was so friendly and up for a laugh she really made our holiday. Great Central location but quiet with a lovely small pool and pool area. Can't wait to come back!

1st the pros, spectacular hotel in beautiful surroundings, the grounds are immaculate and right on the beautiful beach. We stayed for Christmas on a half board basis. Christmas eve was amazing! Delicious food and free drinks, however the Christmas day gala was extremely disappointing, very poor food ( if any ) in the restaurant, I realise this maybe because the Portuguese celebration is Xmas eve, that being said the rest of the food throughout the holiday was very good, plenty of choice. The drinks in the bar were very expensive and one bar staff member made it plainly obvious he didn't want to be there, we waited such a long time for drinks even when not busy as he would try to look like he was occupied with something else! In the end we took our own drinks which worked out perfectly. All in all a wonderful escape from the British Xmas and a beautiful hotel

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 stayed at the Tivoli Alvor from the end of May to early June 2024, and overall, our experience was positive with a few areas for improvement. Check-In and Room Experience: Our check-in process had a hiccup as we were initially given the wrong wristbands. However, this was resolved the next day. We booked a premium family suite, which included two rooms, making it ideal for our family. A common area for parents to relax while children sleep would have been a nice addition, as my partner and I had to split up to stay with our four children. The rooms were quiet and had YouTube-enabled TVs. The beds were very comfortable, and we were pleased with the cleanliness, as the rooms were cleaned as often as we requested. Facilities and Pools The hotel boasts numerous pools suitable for various age ranges, including an adults-only pool. The kids loved the pools and the activities offered by the kids' club, which included crazy golf, tennis, football and basketball as well as a park for younger kids. However, more seating around the play area would be appreciated for parents to relax while keeping an eye on their children. Dining Experience: The dining options were typical of an all-inclusive resort with a variety of choices. The food quality was good but not exceptional. A significant drawback was the lack of readily available vegan desserts for our son, who has dairy and egg allergies. While the chef prepared special meals upon request in the bookable restaurants, the daily selection was limited, and we often had to ask repeatedly. Spa Services: One of the highlight of my stay was the spa. I had several treatments with Tania, who provided the best massages I've ever experienced! She made me feel incredibly relaxed and was both professional and personable. Her treatments felt like a real retreat from the daily hustle of family life. I highly recommend Tania for her outstanding service and warm energy. Staff and Service: The staff at Tivoli Alvor were phenomenal and truly made our stay memorable. Special mentions go to Rafael Sena and Philippe Sandes. Rafael went out of his way to ensure that our son (who had allergies) had suitable meal options and was always attentive to our needs. Philippe provided exceptional service, showing great attention to detail and making us feel well cared for even during busy times. Entertainment and Activities: The kids enjoyed the early evening disco at 5:30 PM, which was perfectly timed before dinner. However, the main evening entertainment starting at 9:30 PM was too late for our young children, making it difficult for them to stay up and enjoy it. Suggestions for Improvement: - Enhance the food temperature management in the main restaurant. - Increase the availability of vegan and allergen-friendly desserts. - Add more seating around the play areas for parents. - Consider adjusting the timing of the evening entertainment to be more family-friendly. Conclusion: Despite some minor issues, our stay at Tivoli Alvor w

One of the best vacations ever. We loved Portugal and are already talking of coming back. People are friendly and amazing. Weather was great, warm and sunny every day. Accommodations at the Pestana Beach Villas was excellent. Very comfortable and clean with just a 2 minute walk from the most amazing beach. 10 min walk to Alvor. 10 minute drive from Portimao. Lots of shopping. If there were more stars I'd give all of them. Staff are the best. Very friendly and helpful. Our last day at the resort we went for breakfast and the girl at the serving desk gave us a free breakfast. Thanks again to everyone at the resort. We will be back.

We stayed in the Alvor Atlantico Hotel for nearly three weeks and would recommend. We had a Studio Superior, with a Sea View. We were on the 7th floor and the view was absolutely beautiful, we could see all of the beach from the beach at the Atlantida Restaurant to the very end. It was lovely to wake up to. The hotel itself was very quiet, there's no bar, there is an indoor pool, which we didn't use and it was also very clean. The Studio was well equipped with a 2 ring cooker, fridge and plates and cutlery, we had a problem with the cooker and the kettle which was sorted out for us, no problem. We had one rainy day when we didn't fancy going into Alvor, you can book dinner (or breakfast) in the Dom Joao Hotel, which we did for the one night, it was only a 5 minute walk away. It was buffet style but was very good. It's a 20 minute walk into the harbour or centre of Alvor on the boardwalk which was a nice way to start the evening. We will definitely stay here again. The beds were comfortable, a bit hard for my personal liking, the shower was good with plenty of pressure, so all in all would recommend.
