Just come back from Alvor, stayed in Alvorferias for 2 weeks. On our first night we got slightly worried as we'd heared that there'd been robberies in the complex, however, we had no trouble, although we were very cautious throughout our holiday and got a safebox for a deposit of 10 euros. Overall, thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Alvorferias, staff... more

After Reading so many bad reviews for 3 months before I flew I tried to change hotels and to be fair I'm glad I didn't! We arrived on 1st October and was offered a room overlooking the bar, I'd requested a quieter room before hand and was a bit worried about the noise in this block and the fact there... more

This is by far the worst hotel I have stayed in and as I often stay in 1 star hotels that is saying something! The smell of urine was overpowering both all over the resort and in the apartment. This could be explained away by the fact that it had been raining but it was so strong that it made... more

My husband and I had our honeymoon in Aug 09, we stayed in the Alvorferias appartments which were great. They were very big (we were at the opposite side from the reception), we had two balcony's and the pool was reasonably quite, which I preffered. The staff were very helpfull and would phone for taxi's if you ask. We didn't... more

Having read through reviews prior to going, we expected spacious, but dated basic appartments. We requested 'over the bridge' as we have young family and would prefer quieter option.The staff appear serious and don't use charm in anyway, however they cannot be faulted, for the service they provide as they attended to all our needs and requests quickly and efficiently.... more

We got to Faro at 9.30pm beware it costs 100 euro to get to the resort!!! Arrived late nowhere to get something to eat, so went to bed starving, receptionist very unhelpful when asked her, matress very uncomfortable. cleaners did not clean the room which was very poor for a 3 star!!,not enough to keep you occupied during the day,... more

My Wife and I stayed here for two weeks and although we requested a high floor we were told that there was none avavilable but when my wife showed signs of distress about staying on the ground floor the staff did everything they could to accomodate us on a higher floor. They ended up letting us stay in an apartment... more

The worst holiday we have ever had. First room given, paint peeling off bath, kitchen cupboards chipped everywhere, room dirty. W e had to demand another room where the air conditioning wasn't working, the shower head was broken and fell on my foot, two bath towels for four people for four days. Nearly burst into tears when we saw the... more

I and my family of wife and 3 kids aged 12, 10 and 5 spent 2 weeks in July 2009 in Club Alvorferias in a privately owned apartment numbered 822. The apartment was quieter side of the complex across the bridge from reception. A very quiet part of the club with a lovely swimming pool and no problems getting poolside... more
