The Pestana D. João II is a is a hotel overlooking the sandy Alvor beach with calm, crystal clear waters. It is only 10 minutes on foot from the town centre, very close to the Alvor river. Take a dive into one of the 2 outdoor saltwater swimming pools surrounded by lush and peaceful gardens, or relax at the Spa with an indoor swimming pool, Turkish bath and sauna where you can schedule a Magic Spa massage. For your meals, there is 1 restaurant and 3 bars (2 of which only open in the summer). If you have kids, the Pestana Kids Club is the perfect place for them to have fun (open from June to September). All rooms offer a balcony with views of the sea (frontal or side), garden or hotel grounds and have a TV and Wi-Fi.

I was a guest of this hotel in August 2020. I really enjoyed my stay and the view of my bedroom on the 5th floor. The hotel was clean, very functional and provided direct access to the sea. I had just the perfect summer holiday. Staff was also very nice. Joao Cunha, a night auditor at the hotel was very helpful once at the desk when I needed to deal with an issue. Overall great experience, I will definitely be back.

The hotel is a renewed single complex with direct access to the atlantic ocean. The view over the bay is splendid all over the day. During our stay in September, the light went warmer and into red/orange when the sun went down over the beautiful site! The rooms are quite new, standard to southern European **** class. The guests were mainly local portuguese families at least until the end of the summer school break. Afterwards guests came from across Europe, form younger people to reitred elder guests. Shopping possibilites outside the hotel are within 5 to 10 minutes walking distance. So do several interesting restaurants and bars alongside the beach or in the Alvor village. The food buffet in the evening was diversified from local food to fries, chicken and vegetables from the country of Portugal. Deserts were also local sweets to ice cream, free of choice. Employees were very friendly from the front desk to the pool bar and all the helping hands through the day and in the kitchen. Overall it was a very relaxing stay and we enjoyed everything offered on the site, through the hotel and alongside the beach!…

The good things : Great view of the beach from the 5th floor, having a room on the 5th floor - it was clean & functional (if a little IKEA-ish), the breakfast, location of the hotel right next to the beach, having a rowing machine in the gym (even though it had seen better days), good-sized pool, plenty of parking. The not so good things : no tea/coffee making capabilities in the room, the gym didn't open until 8am, the room was a bit IKEA-ish.

I booked a Deluxe Sea View room but was checked in to a "Classic Sea View" and when I queried was told that all rooms are deluxe. Well the room I had was anything but deluxe. It was tiny, the decor and furnishings very dated and the sea view was obscured by a long flat roof and trees. The hotel is over 1km from the town centre where the majority of restaurants and bars are. The breakfast was basic and it was probably the worst orange juice I've had at a hotel - thin, watery and lacking in taste.

The Hotel is lovely renovation, the location is superb with private access to the beach, the staff couldn't be friendlier. the Breakfast offers everything the heart desires. The only big critique I have are the beds. the matresses are simply horrible. I could feel the springs against my body, it hurt so much I couldn't sleep and would wake up with pain everywhere. In my opinion the number one concern of a hotel owner would be to ensure guests can sleep well and matresses should be one, if not the main concern and investment..
