We booked four nights with Easyjet Holidays and discovered a lovely hotel with hardly anything to criticise. The hotel is immaculately clean and well-appointed. We had a sea-view bedroom on the fifth floor and a glorious view of the gardens and beach from our balcony. We stayed half board and the breakfasts were excellent. Dinner was very good too, allowing... More

Firstly, this is a 3 star at a push. Don't be fooled. It is old fashioned and needs modernisation, ugly patterned carpets, Tv not flat screened, old crooner on a keyboard singing abba songs in the bar-if u are a pensioner then maybe this might be your thing but for anyone less than 40 steer clear!!! I really wished I... More

As a member of a party of 16 golfers who were booked into the 4 star Pestana Joao II which was booked in August last year, we arrived to be told we had got an upgrade. Oh, that's good we all thought! We were to be moved to the 5 star sister hotel Alvor Praia which turned out to have... More

A lot of nice things can be said about this hotel. Nice location, great staff, comfortable rooms etc but I wouldn't return because of the cynical extras that will bump up your bill 1) Internet: a hotel that describes itself as 5* shouldn't be charging its guests for wifi.

Superb 5* hotel, service A+... Lovely setting and central to golf courses,stunning sea views.

Bodycare break, excellent service and great staff. Very good location, great rooms. Food was well presented, clean. Had a fab time.x

First things first: Internet nowadays is not a "luxury article" . It's a necessity, specially when you are travelling and want to check "where to eat" , "what to see" , "What to do" . Hotel Pestana Alvor Plaza is a hotel that CHARGES guests for accessing the internet!!! EVEN if you have your OWN laptop. This is an absurd... More

Just returned from this hotel where we stayed on B&B for a week 31st March - 7th April. The weather was by far the worst weather we have experienced on a holiday but thanks to the facilities in the hotel and the service provided from the staff we were made to feel special and had a marvellous holiday. We booked... More
