Pestana Alvor Atlântico Residences

Morrocan restaurant on site amazing. Walking distance to beautiful historic Lagos. Huge market and business district downtown. Sights are second to none.

Mkt bra hotell/lght med eget poolområde bredvid stranden. Välsorterad matbutik i anslutning.

L’hébergement est propre, il est situé à pieds d’une belle piscine extérieure et d’une superbe plage. Il y a également une piscine intérieure qui est très bien. La petite cuisine dans la chambre contenait très peu de vaisselle et malheureusement aucune épice tel que sel et poivre, ni savon à vaisselle.

Stale smell in the room, lack of beach towels.

Had a nice sea side view, the room was small but enough space. Small kitchen in the room was nice and there is a convince / grocery store attached which was used regularly

Amazing staff. Would definitely return

Great place to stay to be right at the beach. Nice outdoor pool area, however, it’s not near the apartment. One has to walk a few minutes, not bad. Only complaints are: 1) there are reserved parking for guests. The parking lot is also used by locals and tourists going to the beach. So it can get difficult to find a parking spot. 2) They have a very low inventory of beach towels. Every time I asked for one they had run out. So I had to go back to the apartment to get one of the big towels. Not ideal since it became dirty with sand etc, so I only had one for the shower during my stay. Despite these small inconveniences, I would return to this place if ever I travel again to the Algarve region.

We had a good time at the hotel only the towels took longer to get because the cleaners were not there over the weekend,otherwise we got from the receptionist with blond hair(sorry forgot her name) very good advice regarding day excursions and assisted with reservations

Property was okay, more like an old apartment that is now used at hotel rooms. Room was dirty, sheets weren’t fresh and the floor was very dirty.

Good

Overall we were happy with the room. Could use a few more basic essentials like salt/pepper and dish soap. Great location and view. We were on the 6th floor.

Litt fuktig på badet, ellers alt topp

Staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean but tired. The building next door looked like it was having a full renovation and hopefully this building will as well in due course. Hopefully they will also improve their soundproofing as you could hear next door talking and doors being closed. Unfortunately, the hotel seemed to be having an issue with small fly infestation and although they sprayed and hoovered them away, they would be back instantly. Location was OK and taxi fares to main resorts (Alvor and Portimao) were very reasonable.

Heated pool was lovely. Very close to the beach and not far from Alvor downtown.

Prachtig uitzicht. Mooie riante kamer, badkamer wel iets gedateerd maar alles netjes en schoon. Vriendelijk personeel en eettentjes op loopafstand

bonjour, pour notre sejour pas prevenu que le piscine exterieur est femé pour travaux ,obligé d aller a la piscine de l autre hotel. piscine interieur pas de mise en route des pompes ,l eau avait une odeur de moisi,le sauna ne marchais pas , pas reussi a avoir une deuxieme serviette de bain ' elles ete toutes parties au sales'.cela fait plusieurs annees que nous venons et nous voyons que cela ce degrade , les prix du sejour sont devenu tres chere pour la qualite du service. je ne sais pas si nous reviendrons la l annee prochaine . crdl

Loved the ocean view and the staff were great, especially the manager

Loved the location , minutes from the beach and the views from the room. We could hear the waves at night ! Staff were wonderful - so friendly and helpful. Pool is fab and a real bonus . Walks along the beach are stunning and Alvor is a very pretty place . Drinks and gardens at the nearby hotel were lovely too. Thank you so much

Eine wirklich schöne Ausblick mit direkter Strandlage. Die Raumgröße war vollkommen ausreichend. Mehr Positives lässt sich leider nicht sagen. Wir würden dieses Hotel nicht weiterempfehlen. Es ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Das Bett war sehr ungemütlich bzw. durchgelegen und die Beleuchtung fürchterlich. Das Frühstücksbuffet haben wir im Nachbarhotel aufsuchen müssen ca. 5 Minuten zu Fuß. Den Pool bzw. die Sauna, auf welche wir uns sehr gefreut haben, haben wir nicht besucht bzw. nur kurz besichtigt. Diese Räumlichkeiten befinden sich in einem Glashaus direkt am Parkplatz. Es ist keine Privatsphäre gegeben. Außerdem ist auch dieser Bereich veraltet und keineswegs einladend. Sehr schade. Das Personal war lediglich anwesend. Manchmal wurde man begrüßt. Meistens wurde jedoch nur mit AirPods auf das Handy unter dem Tresen geschaut. Wir haben für den Preis nicht viel erwartet, waren aber trotzdem enttäuscht. Schade.

Das Studio ist das Geld nicht wert. Die Tür zur Terrasse musste 2 mal mit neuen Dichtungen versehen werden, weil diese weder wind- noch regendicht sind. Das Parkett sollte man nicht barfuß belaufen, weil dieses so gequollen ist, dass man sich Splitter in die Füße sticht. Zwischen Rahmen und Eingangstür mussten wir ein Papiertaschentuch klemmen, weil diese gewaltig klappert. Bei Buchung wurde uns auch nicht mitgeteilt, dass man zum frühstücken in ein anderes Hotel gehen musste. Da das Wetter sehr schlecht gewesen ist, konnte man auch nicht auf den Fernseher zurückgreifen, es gab keinen deutschen Sender.

Very nice little studio, with view on the sea, and 2min walk from it. Perfect location to explore the nearby beach, cliffs and caves, or to walk or run on the long boardwalk. Decent size space, though lacking kitchen cleaning supplies (only a hand towel provided). Indoor pool and sauna, and a small laundry room made this experience even more enjoyable. Would stay again!

Point pour rayonner dans l’Algavre belle plage a 100ml et piscine couverte disponible et une belle vue sur l’Atlantique

Hotel was a bit dated but close to everything

Lovely stay, fantastic staff nothing too much trouble very clean looking forward to returning next year

L'hôtel est moins élégant que sur les photos. Le matériel de cuisine n'est pas optimal. Plaques de cuisson difficile à allumer, machine à café, bouilloire et grille pain bas de gamme, poele qui attache... Eau chaude pas suffisante pour 2

Beautiful beach close by lots of free parking our room was updated and very clean would stay again.

Property was welcoming, by staff who were very willing to assist. Parking was good. Room was comfortable and clean. However the place generally needs some attention. Bed linen was fine but bathroom towels were very worn and thin. We would stay again as it was good value for money.

Small maintenance problem almost every room I booked. My husband and I stayed 805. Didn't use the kitchen sink but was leaking every day. Water was all over on the countertop. Another room 1005 my friend stayed, balcony door has at least a finger wide gap. Wind was hauling some of the nights. These are small maintenance fixing. Easy to fix problems. Otherwise everybody were happy. I booked 5 rooms.

The unit is bright with large floor to ceiling windows/sliding patio doors with views of the water. Indoor and outdoor pools were handy Complex overall is clean and in a safe area Easy to walk to beach and rock formations and boardwalk Lots of dining options a short walk away in town or on the beach Staff are very helpful Small grocery store on site is handy It is not a 5 star rating only because it could be updated but is good for the price

Best location. Great sea view. Clean.

Hotel très bien entretenu, personnel très agréable ( un peu de mal a se comprendre en français ). Piscine interieure,exterieure,très proche de la plage,proche de Alvor ( commerces, bar, restaurants,pharmacie, intermarche,...). Commerce,bowling,bar,restaurant...à proximité . Grand parking. Laverie. Possibilite de petit dejeuner et demi pension. Arret de bus et petit train en bas de l'hôtel.

Bon séjour. En retrait de la côte, la vue mer est « gâchée »par les constructions nous séparant. Mieux vaut obtenir les derniers étages. Prévoir café et filtre ! La machine à café du hall restée en panne. Vaste parking dispo. Personnel accueillant

Nice property but a bit noisy at night.

Tall buildings in a parking lot, all the photos are skillful from the penthouse- notice how many reviews say “upgrade” there’s a reason

Vi bokade ett större och dyrare rum denna gången och det var värt de extra pengarna. Mkt rymligt och bra! Önskar bara de kunde ha bättre armatur speciellt i badrummet, så mörkt så det är omöjligt att se sig vid makeup tex.

The staff was so nice and friendly. We ended up staying an additional night. I'm sure there are fancier hotels but we loved the location, ease of parking, kitchenette and grocery on property. Also grateful for a lift after bringing luggage up so many stairs at other stays.

Really loved having a hotel that felt like a resort and our studio apartment was everything we needed! Would go back again!

En knap så god oplevelse, det levede ikke helt op til billederne og beskrivelsen. Der var oplyst at der var restaurant og vi havde bestilt morgenmad. At vi skulle gå hen på deres andet hotel for at få morgenmaden bar ikke oplyst nogen steder. Der var snavs i hjørner og kanter, badekaret skallede af i bunden og klædeskabet havde man ikke lyst til at have sit tøj i. Alt i alt en mega skuffende oplevelse

Appartamento pulito e comodo con bella vista mare. Parcheggio disponibile. Comodo alla spiaggia. Bella la piscina.

Kort vei til strand,basseng og butikk.Helt ok sted.

Enjoyed my stay, staff was friendly, grocery store near by was very convenient as well as the restaurants on beach and the continental breakfast at the sister hotel. Room was as good as advertised My only compliant is housekeeping only cleaned my room once in the 5 days I stayed there. Other than that it was great and I’d visit again!

The property was comfortable it was close to everything the breakfast was amazing.

I was just surprised because when i booked i thought it was a condo style and not a hotel room. That being said, staff was nice, room was renovated for the most part. Tub and AC need some work. I wonder how much more were the other towers or condos. Overall area was relaxing and quiet

We loved the home away from home feel of this hotel. The staff was extremely courteous and friendly. The location is unbeatable. With direct access to the most pristine beaches, with explorable caves. Indoor/ outdoor pool. A market in the parking lot with anything you could need, including a fresh bakery. A short walk to bowling, restaurants- or take the trolley into town which is only a 3-5 minutes drive. So many restaurants, cafes and shops. It’s perfect.

Nous avons mis 4 etoiles et pas cinq, juste pour la literie qui devait etre changé il y a deja 4 ans et qui n a toujours pas ete fait

Fint rimelig rom med kjøkkenkrok. Svømmebasseng og dampbadstue. På stranda.

Well situated good staff but not to much parking spaces , suroundings with road works needs more gardens .

The hotel was in its off season so it was under going some upgrades but they didn’t intrude on customers comfort. Truth is the area is so nice I didn’t spend much time in the hotel.

Wonderful and helpful staff, great room with ocean view and kitchen space was very nice. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come again!

Property around the hotel where we had our breakfast was very nice. Room seemed dark and had a musty smell. Showers did not drain quick enough. Beds and pillows were worn out. The pool in the Pestana Atlantico was nice. Grocery store attached to the hotel was convenient. View out of our windows was not nice. Kept windows and curtains closed all the time. There was nothing to look at except streets and pedestrian and the emergency stairs. 😞

A very good place to stay and a great location for the fabulous beach, albeit a 20 minute walk to the centre of Alvor. The staff at the accommodation are superb and it is very good value.

The room was not sound proof with noise and light coming through the door from the halleay. Appliance in the kitchen was limited. Location is very convenient with beach just a few steps away.

While the area is beautiful, this property is totally in disarray. We booked a superior studio, and were given a room significantly worse than those pictured, including a large amount of mould in the kitchen, dirty sheets, a broken single stool in the kitchen, a used coffee filter in the machine, and duct tape covering the bright-green fire escape light. Upon complaining, we were moved to another room that was very little better — one set of blinds had to be held up by fishing wire, and while there was a kitchen, they neither did the dishes nor provided a soap and sponge so we could do them ourselves. They also did not replace towels unless specifically asked each day. We suspect this property was gorgeous 30 years ago, but it has fallen a long way and the only reason to stay there is the location, which admittedly, is excellent and near a gorgeous section of beach.

Team at property were great and so helpful. Expedia didnt pass on message left that we wanted twin beds and would arrive late, however we managed to sort following day. Building bit dated but cannot fault the cleanliness or location

The location is good. It was quiet when we were there, but it wasn't a busy time mid may. It's fairly old so be prepared for some niggles. We had a patio door not working so had to move rooms. In the next room the bathroom fan didn't work and the toilet seat was broken. Basically clean and decent sized rooms. Not too bad for the money.

Sad to say that the property is in desperate need of maintenance and repair because the staff were so nice and helpful and the beach is gorgeous

Beautiful views from balcony. Door to open to balcony very stiff and noisy. Both sinks in kitchen and bathroom have plugs that do not fit, hense water drains away quickly.

Apartments are a little bit dated but clean, location is fantastic and reception could not have been more pleasant and helpful. Would return definitely.

Amazing beach, pools and rooms

Just perfect for what we needed - 3 guys going to Rolling Loud festival

Liked that accommodation was close to beach and local transport and amenities

the property is near a bus stop and the beach is in walking distance. Local shop for grocery next door. Dinning is available in the sister hotel next door, payment made at reception before going. Snack machines in reception area and seating and flat TV

rundown concrete highrise described as a sea view but not the case cheap and miserable dont bother

Close to town and beach

Pros: Great location, a 5 minute walk to the beach and 20 minutes to picturesque rocky cliffs. Nice panoramic views from our room. Easy check-in, front desk person was great and very helpful. Nice room with kitchenette, nice bathroom, and comfortable bed. The ocean water was also very warm and swimmable even in mid October. 30 second walk to market for groceries/beer/wine. Good value for the price. Cons: Otherwise clean but dishes in cabinet needed an additional scrub before using. Not an area with a lot of character, it is all about the beach.

The Hotel was 100m from beach and pool with well organised reception to help with all questions. Its classed as 3* and it fits its rating the real only issue was not being able to flush paper down the loo which surprised us in the year 2021.

Great location with walking distance beach access. Residences are amazing especially if you travel with kids. It has a fully equipped kitchenette and you can buy groceries at a small shop next to the hotel lobby (20 meters). I will definitely come back again.

We have stayed here twice now. The apartments are very clean and if you pay for a sea view room the views are amazing from your balcony. There are nicer places to stay but for a cheap place in a great location this is perfect.

Our receptionist Susete was ever helpful and pleasant. She helped make the holiday a success. We want to come back as soon as this virus is finished with.

The Hotel's photos shown in the listing are miles away from reality. Very uncomfortable bed, bedding dirty and bathroom stunned every morning. Staff is the only good about this place.

The hotel is amazing, my room was on the 8th floor over looking the sea I would 100% recommend paying extra for the sea view. When I arrived at the hotel I was greeted by a welcoming smile from the duty manager Susete she went above and beyond helped us with every query we had which made our stay even better. I will 100% be rebooking this hotel when I come back to Portugal. The location is great 8mins taxi to the main parts and the beach is on the doorstep. I unfortunately didn't have time to use the outdoor salt pool and the indoor swimming pool but next time I 100% will. I would 100% recommend. I did not have one problem

Our apartment was cleaned daily, even though the literature we received with our key said it would be every orher day. Everyone on reception desk and in the supermarket was friendly Indoor pool was a bonus and not busy. Good location close to the beach. Knowing what we know now would recommend a sea view room as ours was a garden view, which really meant a road view. Only problem for me was the rock hard bed which was very uncomfortable.

Amazing view of the sea. Good bedroom in general. However, cleaness of the room was not so good and some tiny features of the room were not in good condition.

Great location next to beach. About 15 mins to walk into Alvor. Ignore the check in details. U don’t have to go to Dom joao hotel to check in. This hotel has 24h desk

It met our expectations with being so close to the beach. However, we were allocated a garden view appartment which looked over the back road of the hotel - disappointed

The staff at the hotel are excellent and it has a great location. On the downside, the room was never cleaned during our 3 night stay and there was a bit of an odour coming from the washroom...i managed to fix the problem with my plumbing knowledge but it's questionable why the hotel had appeared to try to fix it by installing an air freshener.

Good location near beach. Excellent value. Would use again

The kitchen was fully equipped,very nice,loved,even we didn't used.

Thought the room was lovely and bright and airy - loved the balcony and kitchenette facility and well provided for. Rooms need a bit of attention to finishing off - need a little refurbishment as showing age - towels could have been of a better standard - some frayed and rather worn. Pool area lovely but needed a little revamp - damage to ceiling etc. Staff were really lovely and very helpful. Overall a great stay and would certainly return.

Awesome staff, always ready to help. Great location.

Lovely apartments, close to the beach. Clean and only a short taxi or 15mins walk into alvor centre. Would definitely stay again

While our room had a nice view the property is dated and not well maintained with flooring warping, walls scruffed and marked, towels threadbare and stained. Outdoor pool is actually at resort next door and they offer no dedicated beach facilities such as loungers or sunshades for their guests. Totally disappointed with hotel and not up to the expected standards of the Pesatana brand.

Have stayed many times and still does not disappoint! Fabulous location, good size studio with great view and front desk staff are amazing! Just a thought though ,that whereas pool towels were provided by the hotel in past years, this has changed so take your own .

Not as nice as the pictures make it look

Although a little dated, the apartments are functional and clean with access to facilities at the main hotel (200m for breakfast/bar) and beachfront restaurants/facilities. Lots to do nearby and away from the livelier centre of Alvor. Could be improved with in room hairdryers as not enough to go round (17 available vs 70+ apartments). Great location for boardwalk and beach. Recommended for a short stay to explore the region.

1. No longer necessary to check in on arrival at HOTEL. It is open at Atlantico 24 hrs for check-in. 2. Appt. not totally clean. Dead. Flies on standard lamp, otherwise O.K. 3. 2 ins long plus feallers cockroach at midnight in bathroom. Killed it. 4. Next morning told reception whose attitude "We have an infiltration of them" Charmimg I said. 5. Apart from that the receptionist attitude at all times was very aggressive and not helpful.

Very nice close to beach and lots to do

Not allocated correct room on arrival but soon changed when reception advised.

Excellent facilities. Good communication. Near beaches

We arrived early but couldn't get into room until three, this was then further delayed, as the cleaning hadn't been completed, so we finally got in around 3:20pm. The apartment was not as big as in the photos, however the corner apartments seemed to be bigger, but ours was in the middle. Although small, it was well equipped with everything you need, but nowhere to hang wet towels and swimwear on the balcony. The beds were lumpy and uncomfortable. It felt as if hard springs were digging into my knees and ribs. The hotel seemed a little 'tired', although clean and tidy. The view of the sea was spectacular, as was listening to the waves rolling in. The staff were helpful and our broken shower head was quickly replaced. We tried a buffet meal at the Pestana Dom Joao 11, (next door) however, on the night we went, the food was very disappointing, and we have since complained. The beach is beautiful and the wooden boardwalk makes walking the 2km into town much easier than walking along the sand. Once there, you can partake of almost any kind of food. The restaurants we tried were all excellent. The town of Alvor is pleasant and quaint.

I stayed in the apartment style hotel room. The small kitchen was well stocked and like the bathroom, was clean and modern. The room was very spacious and had a wonderful view of the beach - which was a 3 min walk awake. There are several restaurants on the beach and the town in a 10 minute walk away. The staff at the hotel were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The breakfast and gym is at a nearby hotel a 3 minute walk and it both very good. The pool has a sauna however, some of the tiles on the ceiling as mouldy. I stayed in April and it was relatively quiet, however I could see in the busy months that it may get quite loud at night. I have a neighboi come half was through my stay and I could hear all their movements. Other than that the hotel was lovely and I’d stay there again!

Stays for two nights and would have liked to stay longer.

Great place to stay. Lovely views of the sea and beach. Hotel staff really helpful and pleasant, we will definitely go back to this hotel.

Only problem at all was that expedia advice to check in at adjacent Dom Jiao hotel was a bit wrong ( only do that after midnight I think). As we did arrive late and in dark-but before midnight and in only rain of the week- this caused a few minutes confusion. But that was only difficulty of a great week.

We wanted a short mid-winter break, and chose this as the hotel we stayed in last time was closed for the winter. We found the hotel to be clean, and the kitchen well stocked with tools, pans, etc. The staff were friendly and helpful. On the minus side, the toilet seat was loose and cracked, and we felt it was unhygienic. We also found the room lighting in clouded daytime very poor. That said, we would not hesitate to recommend it to others, and would consider re-visiting at a later date.

My husband & I stayed at the Pestana Alvor Atlantico in September and was pleasantly surprised as some of the reviews wasn't very good. Yes it did look like a block of flats but once inside it was welcoming, The room was adequate for our needs and very clean, we stayed in room 505 which had a fantastic view of the beach,which was easily assessable. The beds were rock hard & I got a back ache for the first few days but I adjusted to it. The staff were lovely,very polite, friendly & helpful. It was good that we were able to use the facilities of the Pestana Dom Joao ll which was a few minutes away.

Second time staying here, the apartments are clean and modern, with housekeeping providing excellent cleanliness. The apartments are moments from the beach and pool! Alvor town is about a 20 min walk, or a taxi is only a few euros! There are plenty of restaurants to choose from, great bars and karaoke for those singers out there!! All in all great place for friends, couples and families!!

The Hotel was very good. Its just in front of the Beach Alvor. The Rooms are very clean and nice. Only thing is that during Check In, hotel attendant asked to provide the CVV also along with the Credit card number which I find very weird. However during check out, I explicitly asked to remove the CVV from the form which they have done then. Otherwise everything is pretty good about this hotel.

Although instruction was to check on st hotel next door Dom Jaoa the reception is operating at Atlantico. Staff very pleasant and helpful needed to request hairdryer and kettle not available upon arrival,

It was great and just beside the beach. Indoor pool was lovely and although the lobby wasn't overly impressive the rooms were a decent size and well maintained. It's a 15 minute walk to Alvor centre.
