Been visiting Alvor for yrs. This trip was the third this year. Alvor not for the party animal. But some great nights to be had. Walking along boardwalk and other pathways a must. The people are delightful, always smiling. Plenty of taxis to be had. For people with mobility issues Alvor might prove a challenge due to streets being steep,uneven footpaths that are also narrow. You will be spolt for choice regards restaurants,bars,entertainment and all the fish dishes you would like.
Beautiful beaches and overall sights with the limestone cliffs. You can find great food and people are very friendly. The downtown is quite live so you can also find many options for bars and restaurants.
We have been coming to Alvor since 2016 and stayed over 10 times; sometimes twice a year July and September. Obviously the fantastic beach and great swimming in Atlantic ocean is the main attraction, with great weather. Then it is the fantastic restaurants. Just about any place that grills fish and meat is very good and not expensive and offer fantastic value for money. The Indian restaurants are also excellent. The town has one street that is very busy with pubs, clubs and entertainment so it is available if you want to be busy or you can enjoy nice restaurants and quite bars.
Plenty of restaurant choices with fresh food and lovely service, we didn't have any issues getting a table but can imagine it would be difficult without restovation during peak season. The beach is beautiful!
Alvor is a breakaway from the hassle and noise of daily life. Food is varied and amazing and brilliant value. The people ate so welcoming Weather is amazing Everything is so central no rowdiness suitable for young families and the more mature. Check out The Green Door, Salsa, Wok Fusion, Alvor Bar. Bookings a must.
Alvor is a fairly small resort, made up of a series of small fairly narrow walkways that are lined with the various restaurants, bars, and small shops. Most of the streets / walkways lead down to the seafront where you find the main three or four fish restaurants, that cook up the catch if the day, for the hundreds of locals, and tourists that decend into the area each evening. Alvor is very family friendly, there are no hen or Stagg parties, and no groups of people singing their favourite football chant from the outside of bars. There are families walking round of an evening, deciding where to eat enjoying their break away, removed from the normal treadmill of life. So great relaxing location, lots of places to eat and drink, in a small fairly compact location,.

We had a wonderful time at this charming hotel. The location is calm and scenic, perfect for relaxing and exploring the area in peace. The rooms are spacious, spotless, and well-maintained – you can really feel the care in every detail. What made the experience truly special was the exceptionally kind and welcoming owner (father and son). We felt instantly at home and truly cared for. Highly recommended for anyone looking for tranquility, comfort, and genuine hospitality. We would love to return!

Stunning 3 bedroom 3 storey property with the most beautiful sea views. Upside down living which places the huge living room/kitchen and balcony on the top floor. Beautifully designed and decorated . Just like a 5 star boutique hotel. The pool is just perfect… private and safe for the kids. Worth every penny. 300/400 meters from the beach and 150 meters from the centre of Alvor with access to dozens of amazing restaurants. Book it now…. You will not be disappointed!!!

Stunning views from the rooftop patio. Great location, 10 minute walk from the beach. Endless restaurants and local shops with all the necessities a block away, but still quiet enough that you didn’t hear anything at night. Alvor is the perfect laid back spot to vacation. We loved Rooftop Alvor. The coffee and cookies were a nice touch and Sofie was always available if we needed anything. The rooms were smaller, but had everything you needed.
Alvor
The property was truly unique and was located in the most picturesque part of Alvor. Every room is tastefully and practically appointed. The owners thought of everything including beach towels. When we arrived the owner presented us with sandwiches, pastries, wine and water. Thank you so much! It would be a joy to return in the future!

I find it hard to leave home sometimes because it’s kind of hard to beat, but Skylight Alvor was just perfect! Loved the amount of space and the decor. Also loved the rooftop terrace & pool! There was great communication with the owners throughout and they left such a lovely treat to welcome us!
the hotel is a low raise building nearly on the beach, just a short work along the boardwalk, breakfast is more suited for Europeans than British however all was good. very good for families as there's a few pools with loungers the village is approx 20 minutes away on foot, 5 minute taxi ride.
Very helpful and personable receptionist. We had a sea view apartment, but came well equipped kitchenette. It is a 20 minute walk to Alvor Village and a short walk to the beach. The hotel also has an indoor/outdoor pool, sauna and gym with plenty of parking and a convenient store nearby

Great hotel, large bedrooms with a great balcony. The swimming pool and outside facilities were great plenty of space and sun loungers. A good 15 mins walk into alvor centre, but we didn't mind that, also a great free bus ran regularly to and from the beach , Friendly staff :-)
Staff were really helpful. The room was spotlessly clean. The hotel was further from the town than i would have liked but close to the beach. We walked in on the boardwalk. It was on the edge of the beach. Took us approximately 35 mins to reach Alvor.
First time staying at Pestana Alvor Praia. Brilliant location, staff were very helpful & helpful. The beach is amazing & only a short stroll from the hotel. Less than an 1hr to the airport which was great. Definitely will be back.
