The hotel is spotless, the beds and pillows are very comfortable, the studios are fully stocked with everything you need. George on reception is most friendly and helpful. It is a 10/15 minute walk to Alvor partly uphill and uphill all the way back - I would not like to do that walk in the summer heat! 2 lovely restaurants nearest to the hotel are Al Dente and Napoli Pizzaria - both excellent food and value. The food in the hotel restaurant is not the best - spare ribs that were virtually raw and chewy, pork loin that was pretty tasteless, mixed grill that was just o.k., but the 'amuse bouches' were good! The pool is gorgeous and I am sure that the bar is serviced by more staff in summer but in January they could not cope if there was anyone in the restaurant and we had to leave after waiting 30 minutes to be served. Alvor is a charming little village with lots of places to eat and drink but the most relaxing places were the little restaurants by the estuary where it was so relaxing to sit and watch the boats and the birds.
