I spent a few beautiful weeks in the Algarve at the end of 2024. I traveled the entire southern and southwestern coast. Also the southeastern border with Spain. I tried to get to know the local people, customs, nature... I like the local market, the local simple food, fish. Until mid-December, I was swimming regularly and beautifully. I lived in different places, always for a few days. For all this, the accommodation at Pestana Alvor Atlantico Residences Beach Suites offered me ideal conditions: communication with the staff, equipment, peace, accessibility, parking space. Swimming pool:-). Thank you.

Location was superb near to beach and swimming pool and shop. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The apartment was a good size and the view was amazing. The flat was clean. Local Portuguese people were very welcoming. The pool and poolside was very clean.

Unfortunately the sofa bed had not been made up and we arrived at 1am in the morning so had to phone reception to get the sheets. The receptionist was helpful regarding this and made the bed. It would have been nice if there was a hairdryer in the flat and three outdoor chairs or a sunlounger since there were theee of us. I noticed that both of our neighbours had sun loungers but we didn’t.

Karolina (at the reception) and the young lady that checked me in, they both are amazing! Incredibly friendly and helpful. Karolina helped me with my late check out. I really appreciate her support and understanding, as the next place I was staying in after didn’t want to do an early check in. Loved the location, 5 seconds from the beach, and the view from my room on the rocks and ocean, couldn’t possibly dream to get a better view.

Bed mattress is for change that’s for sure. Hotel should invest in new mattresses. Cooker sometimes worked and sometimes didn’t so something to check my electrician maybe

1 minute to the Beach. Friendly staff. Even garden view is very senic, at least from the 9th floor :) Spacious room and balcony. Despite of the unappealing outside look of the building quite nice inside. Kitchenette equiped sufficiently for simple meals and well equipped for breakfast. Filter coffee machine, toaster, 2 stove tops, fridge. Nice extra: Sauna and steam bath in the ground floor(not exactly a spa,fitting only 2-3 people each, but enough to nicely heat up). Pool towel service. Salt water outdoor and also an indoor pool - nothing too fancy, but nicevto have. Easy Parking, 3 minute drive to harbour/city center. Or a bit longer walk along the promenade.

The pool areas were completly lacking any charme or atmosphere.

The location was just ideal Quiet and in a great position to catch sunrise and sunset, all from the same room. The staff were superb as nothing was too much trouble. Made to feel welcome from the get go. The views were stunning and the sound of ocean so relaxing.

The fact that I had to leave, afterall I only booked it week. It was sad to.say goodbye. I just wish I would have discovered it sooner.

Very friendly reception - very clean room, nice location. There is an indoor swimming pool, but the proximity to the beach means it wasn't used. Nice area (if a little small) to prepare meals. Room service very efficient and pleasant. A really nice place that made us feel welcome.

The laundry facilities were a little primitive and expensive. Small gripe, really. There is a shop on the resort - but it is very expensive. Best to use the local Intermarché.

Excellent location close to beach. Superb breakfast. Friendly staff . 24 hr reception

Beds too hard and waterproof under sheets. The room needs an update and not like shown in pictures but it looks like they’re in the process of redecorating room by room

Loved the location, the beach is close and the convenient supermarket right outside the front door.

No dishwasher, which we've had in less pricey apts. Pillows...again the pillows were less than satisfactory. But this has been the case in all apts & hotels where we've stayed in Alvor. I guess they are constantly washed, but it leaves them very lumpy!

Excellent staff. Spotlessly clean. A room was provided for me on my day of departure to relax and shower as I wasn't being collected for the airport until 7pm. 24 hr reception which was very good

Unfortunately there was no bar or restaurant but it was available at another nearby Pestana hotel. It was a little bit further out from the town than I would have liked but that was just my preference.

Stayed few times and it never disappoints, always very clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful

This hotel would be better if at least it had a small cafeteria for breakfast and maybe a snack bar as you have to go all the way to the next hotel for breakfast etc And the bathrooms are a bit outdated and baths are quite old and a bit yucky.
