Alvor Baia

"So I'm nearing the end of my stay at the Alvor Baia and felt it time to write a review of my time here. I've got to admit I was surprised by how good the hotel was. We stayed at the Tivoli last year and was blown away by their quality, that being said the Baia holds its own against the Tivoli for a fraction of the price. The building itself is beautiful and the rooms are extremely spacious and well planned out. The hotel staff were extremely friendly and accommodating even at times when they didn't have to be. The pool area is as good as you'll find anywhere. It's massive meaning you can have your own space without being on top of one another. I noted an earlier review slating the pool area as it was full of children screaming etc etc. We firstly maybe going on a saga holiday might be better for them but secondly I didn't see any of what was described. It wasn't too busy and what children that were there where well behaved and didn't impact on us at all . As I mentioned, the rooms are brilliant. Basically two bed apartments. We stayed on the fourth floor which was worth every penny extra. The views were to die for. The location of the hotel is brilliant as it's only 15 minutes walk to Alvor town. The only downside for me was the standard of the food...... Yes it's ok in the sense that it was edible and tasty but it was the same every other night with little variety to offer. You get given drinks in tiny cups and glasses. If this had been better I would have handed out a 5 star review because everything else is fantastic for the price."

"We recently enjoyed a short stay here. This was our 2nd time staying here, we don’t normally return to hotels so that must mean something. We arrived lunchtime and our room was ready which was a bonus. The hotel is huge, beautifully clean, all staff friendly and extremely hard working. We stayed half board and enjoyed the food & free drinks with dinner is a surprise as most hotels charge even if it’s only water you have. There’s a free bus to a lovely beach with several restaurants to choose from. Alvor town is a 20 minute walk from the hotel & nice for a wander around. Soundproofing is good, the rooms are spacious, beds comfortable. The only slightly negative thing I can think of is (in my opinion) I found the pillows a bit too plump. I love this hotel and think it’s very good value."

"Excellent hotel staff were fantastic very friendly and helpful. Rooms very spacious, comfortable and very clean. Location was very good hotel has a complementary bus to and from the beach every hour. Pool was huge and never had any problems finding a sunbed at any time of the day. Food was very good with different themes each day. Two restaurants one dedicated to adults only. Good choice of drinks in both bars . Highly recommend this hotel will definitely go again 👍"
