Hotels Near Parque Infantil do Castelo de Alvor in Alvor

This is our second stay here. Very clean, efficient and friendly reception personnel. Helpful with booking excursions. This hotel is in an excellent location above the Praia do Vau beach. The outdoor pool area is spacious with many loungers, although water is cool. The Nicola bar/restaurant adjacent to the pool is very comfortable with a great atmosphere serving snacks, drinks. Friendly staff. The indoor pool is exceptionally clean. You must wear a bathing cap. Also has a hot tub in the same area. There is a library with many books to chose from. Sections for different language books. We frequented the mini market most days buying fresh buns, Also has liquor and beer and most food items. Very convenient.

Spotlessly clean hotel in every aspect. Very friendly staff from Management, reception, restaurant and cleaning. Our room was on the ground floor with a terrace, facing west with the sun in the afternoon. We were B&B for 11 nights and we were very happy with the options available to us for breakfast. There is no bar in the hotel, however, drinks are available during the day in the dining room. A new bar area is being constructed beside the small but adequate pool and this should add greatly to food/drink options. Hotel is a 3 minute walk to the beautiful beach. Only word of caution is that, at that point, the beach is accessed by way of steep steps, which makes it practically inaccessible for the very elderly or young families with buggies. An access point to the beach, for families etc., is available a 10/12 minute walk into town, along a fabulous cliff top walkway/cyclepath. Beach is excellent with boardwalk & sun beds for rent & lots of restaurants. We loved our stay in the Rochavau hotel

Having read some of the reviews, I’ve come to the conclusion that people want 5 star accommodation at 2/3 star prices. It really is as simple as that. I struggled to understand why this hotel was a 2 star; in my opinion a 3 would have been much more accurate and fair. The apartment I stayed in was the biggest I’ve ever had on holiday - two balconies, and three separate rooms (kitchen/dining space, bedroom and bathroom) - kitchens have clearly been refurbished recently - modern and with induction hobs. There’s a microwave, toaster and ample cooking utensils. I’ve seen some complaints about this in other reviews - the only thing I would say to that is that there were inconsistencies with the amount of plates, bowls etc in the cupboards. So feedback here would be to check the apartments regularly to re-stock any missing items. The TV is Smart, so you can access all the usual streaming platforms. Cleaning was every day and the staff were fantastic - always pleasant, knocked before entering and were happy to provide extra items like toilet roll if you asked them. The pool area is clean and the bar is cheap as regards drinks and snacks/simple meals. There’s a free bus twice a day to Praia De Rocha and Portamao and back if you want to go into the town centre or go to the beach. It takes about 15 minutes to walk to either and it’s perfectly do-able - failing that an Uber is about 5 Euro one way. The only reason - and it is the only reason - I am not giving 5 stars is that there is, regrettably, an issue with a villa located on the opposite side of the hotel entrance where dogs are left outside barking throughout the night. Reference has been made to this in other reviews. One particular night it was beyond intolerable and I managed less than 2 hours sleep. It was better on most other evenings - but I was still woken up at least twice a night by it. Earplugs did help, however. It’s a real shame for the hotel but I feel it’s only right to mention it, so don’t forget to pack yourself a pair!

Amazing hotel. Had the best time ever! The hotel bar was so good and such great service!

Great stay, nice staff! Walkable to gorgeous beaches and the town of Portimaõ. Comfy beds, clean apartments. Could do with a bit more shelving in the bathroom (even a small chair under the sink would do) and some hooks here and there, but otherwise perfect.

We took advantage of their Valentine's offer; first class accommodation, food and service. We were able to secure a sea view room overlooking the pool which was fabulous. The linen was top notch, the room huge, as was the bathroom with stand alone bath and huge separate shower, twin sinks. The bed was enormous and so comfortable. Part of the offer included a Thai massage, which was pure bliss, one of the best we've had. Breakfast was also one of the best we've had, with the most amazing service by incredibly friendly staff, some who appear to speak many languages! From the moment we arrived to our departure, the stay was memorable and very enjoyable. The only negative was the exit onto the road which is very dangerous, we nearly had an accident as it is a blind corner and although there are mirrors opposite, you couldn't see approaching vehicles well, however, this wouldn't put us off returning, which we will one day ....... hopefully!

A highly recommended hotel! If you drive from Seville to Lisbon, you can stay here for one night! The town is beautiful. This hotel is perfect except for the room! The Michelin restaurant downstairs tastes good too! Especially breakfast, the breakfast is rich and exquisite! The breakfast has fried steak and lamb chops, and the taste is very good! (The picture is just breakfast)

Quiet, peaceful place but nothing available nearby except the excellent Quinta Dos Santos winery and restaurant - open 13.00 to 22.00. Our hotel room was clean and spacious and the staff really do try to do an excellent job. However the food is extremely disappointing and the only evening meal available is a buffet of mediocre, tasteless dishes. Two nights a week the restaurant is closed, one night Pizza is available and the other night Barbecue; if these are not to your taste you'll have to make do with bar snacks. It is mandatory to book a table for the evening restaurant but don't try and do this through reception, they will always tell you it is fully booked. However if you go to the restaurant personally most of the tables are free and you will be able to eat there. Apparently this is because a lot of ”all inclusive holidays” are booked there and so evening tables are prioritised for these people but most of them do not appear for dinner. Why reception is unaware of this none of the staff could explain. Apart from dining chairs at the Pool Bar and loungers round the pool there are no comfortable seats available. Certainly not one of the better places I have stayed in.

We got a deal on this place so decided to take the gamble and go. We were not disappointed. We loved it. The place is in the middle of no where but that didn't bother us. There is a minibus service early morning and late afternoon but to be honest Uber is only 7 euros into the town. Fab pool area that wasn't crowded and loved the pool bar and eatery. The villa was up 3 flights of stairs but again that didn't bother us because the villa was massive and clean. The staff are also very nice and helpful. There are 2 or 3 bars a half a mile away and walking on an evening was a pleasure. We also walked to the beach which takes a good 30 minutes but we enjoyed the walk. There is a fantastic restaurant opposite the site gates and a fantastic restaurant on the beach, but beware, they are very expensive. You will struggle to keep a meal for 2 under 150 euros in either of them. The 2 or 3 bars nearby mainly do pizza and a pizza is circa 15 euros. This isolation of this place won't be for everyone, but we loved it and will be back.
