Just come back from a week in Alvor at the Alvorferias Apartments. Overall we found them quite good. We had a 2 bedroom apartment in the reception block which also had a bathroom and a shower room, both with toilets. Quite useful as there were 5 of us. The apartment was spacious and clean. Towels are changed every four days,... more

Our shutters did not work and with children used to dark rooms for sleeping, bright sunshine through flimsy curtains doesn't really work. We made... more

Stayed in this hellhole just three weeks ago. Luckily I was only booked in for a week. Unhelpful reception staff from the very beginning. The apartment buildings had no lifts.The cleaning staff called twice in the week, on each occasion spending less than ten minutes. The doors to both toilets could not be locked. If you took a shower in... more

We had a spacious one bedroom appartment with a proper bedroom, living room, kitchen and bathroom + two balconies. Whilst the furnishings are basic and very 1980's, it looked like it had been decorated over the winter and was very clean. The kitchen was well equipped with a full size fridge, cooker and microwave. The beds do have 'wire mesh'... more
