Tivoli Alvor

Alvor Alvor|2.57km from Praia do Amado
This is the second time we have visited the Tivoli Alvor. In June 23 and over the Easter break April 24. Check in went smoothly we arrived about 11ish and our room was not ready. We had some drinks then went for lunch at 12.30 by the time we did this room was ready. Golf buggy took us and cases to the room. We had a family deluxe room so kids had a separate room. Room is modern and comfortable. Everything you need. It was cleaned everyday water and toilet roll was replenished. We loved the food and the wine at buffet and restaurants. I did not have an issue with the heat of food if you do like your food really hot get something off the grill freshly cooked. Simples! My son loved the football pitch and was not off it. Pool area nice and towels provided. We easily got sunbeds but you get the selfish that put towels out all day and do not use. So limiting the choice for others. Pool was on colder side as it was April but as the weather improved kids stayed in longer. Staff do go round offering drinks although depends how busy the pool is you might not get offered as often. We did not go to the entertainment so cannot comment. I do notice they have listened to previous reviews and have made the kids disco earlier than when we visited in June. The beach is lovely and a short walk or you can walk along boardwalk to Alvor town. We used the hotels train a few times. Bar/restaurant service was a bit erratic but as the hotel got quieter at the end of week it improved. We had a great stay amazing food, beautiful hotel and nice staff. I do not understand the bad reviews and I am quite fussy. We will definitely return. Improvements - pool table, table tennis, bring back the self service juice machines in bar, remove the towels of people who have put down in the morning and have not returned for several hours.

Oceano Atlantico Apartamentos Turisticos
4.1/545 Reviews
Praia do Vau
The Oceano Atlantico hotel is conveniently located in the rather picturesque Praia da Rocha area of Algarve. It is within walking distance of the beach (it takes approximately 15-20 minutes at a leisurely pace to get there) and there is also a Lidl store nearby. There are a number of football pitches and pools in the vicinity of the hotel, so it is likely to meet the expectations of people who are sports buffs. There were no problems pertaining to the check-in and the staff members were polite and attentive, with everyone being conversant in English. The rooms, which are akin to mini apartments, are rather spacious and all the necessary amenities are to be found, including towels, shampoo, soap, etc. There was a very wide selection of TV channels and the Wi-Fi was fast and reliable. I enjoyed the quality of the food (the variety was good as well, but there weren’t that many confectionery desserts) and appreciated that the dinner was buffet-style, which tends to be my preference. A few of the meals appeared to be distinctly Portuguese. This hotel (while not necessarily as luxurious as some of the ones in Lisbon) is likely to appeal to many different travelers. I will definitely be happy to return!
Jardim do Vau
4.3/556 Reviews
Praia do Vau
First off, the accommodation, pool and the proximity to the beach are all great. The rooms are really big. We had a two bed apartment for two adults and two teenagers, there was plenty of space for us all. The balcony’s are huge, and also come with four loungers and six chairs, so perfect for catching the evening sun with a drink. We did have a leak in the bathroom which we raised with reception, which was not fixed. It didn’t cause too much problem, just annoying to get wet feet when walking by as it leaked into the bedroom. The biggest shame was the service and quality of food at breakfast. It was provided by “My Guest” so we assume it was outsourced. The young woman Rosa out the front was really unfriendly, didn’t want to engage and made us feel unwelcome. The food in the hot buffet was lukewarm at best, so not great for food hygiene. The only things that changed in the six days we were there was the fresh fruit and the cake, so it got a bit repetitive as well. Despite this we would still return, we would just do it as self catering as the breakfast definitely wasn’t worth it.
Flor Da Rocha
4.3/551 Reviews
Praia da Rocha
Arrived Friday midday, pleasant and helpful reception staff, easy check in and hotel looked recently renovated with well presented and modern lobby. We unpacked into a large two bed apartment, three flatscreens and sofa, large fridge freezer and all accessories required for comfortable self catering. We spent a nice afternoon at a quiet pool among other families and couples (pool is freezing cold). This is where the good news ended. Around 5pm two coach loads of students descended onto the hotel with shopping carts (actual shopping carts) loaded with speakers and party signs. Our stomachs sank as did our 7yr olds, intimidated by rowdy youths in the elevator. I enquired at the front desk as to the situation and was met with the news that the party had booked almost the entire hotel out of rooms. The Flor Da Rocha sells the rooms as part of a student party package at various times throughout the year, see screen grab. The sequence of events is as follows; two coaches arrive mid afternoon, the lobby and swimming pool both flood with loud students and then the speakers appear on the balcony’s facing the pool area blasting music. Short lull when they dissipate to the supermarket for alcohol then from 9pm (when the families are settling the children) the noise begins again with shouting / singing / Macarena etc etc. people hanging over balcony’s with guitars, clapping and jeering. No intervention from hotel staff whatsoever. It comes as no surprise the in room telephone also doesn’t work when trying to contact reception. The fact Jet2 are marketing this hotel as a family friendly holiday is ridiculous. No sleep for a family of four for the first two nights of a seven night holiday. We selected Praia Da Rocha as a family friendly alternative to the usual stag and hen locations, what possesses the place to host a two day student bender is beyond me. Unfortunately, this is the second time Jet2 have let us down and we should’ve known better than to travel with them again. The rest of the week was fine although the students continue to come and go, fortunately for us the rest seemed to be athletes / youth groups rather than organised party goers. Given time and money has been spent to update the hotel it’s a real shame they choose to recoup this at the detriment to family and couple guests in an otherwise quiet resort.
Interpass Vau Hotel Apartamentos

Praia do Vau
We visited Portugal for our first time in the middle of October. The weather was a balmy 25° pretty much all week ☀️ we were incredibly pleased with our apartment which was very spacious, had a lovely big balcony and was cleaned every day by very smiley housekeepers. The hotel reception staff were warm and friendly and answered any questions we had helpfully and with a pleasing friendliness. The bar staff were very nice too and whipped up a mean pina colada to sip by the outside pool. The facilities (outdoor, indoor pool, sauna, toilets etc) were all immaculate and we very much enjoyed lounging around the outside pool most afternoons. The prices In the bar were very fair, €4 a beer, €6 cocktails and €5/6 for a cheese toastie with fries (which was plenty!!) The local shop was a 5min walk away which had a little of everything and the beach was an easy 10min away. We went into Praia do Rocha most nights and it was around a 20min walk and was around €5 in an Uber back to the hotel late at night. Lagos is around €25 in a taxi/Uber and well worth a day out. Alvor is roughly €2 on the bus which stops just outside. A couple of things were missing from the hotel room such as a mirror in the bedroom, a chopping board in the kitchen but didn’t in anyway affect our holiday. Would liked to have had a double bed but we just pushed the 2 twin beds together (twin beds seem to be pretty standard for the Algarve from what I’ve seen) Would highly highly recommend this apartment/hotel for anyone after a quite, relaxing área to visit. Would definitely visit again around the same time of the year as it was absolute bliss being one of only around 4/5 people around the pool each day. Couldn’t recommend highly enough as all the staff were brilliant and the accommodation perfect.
Hotel Luar

Praia da Rocha
My partner and I stayed here for a week in August/September b+b, lovely hotel, basic rooms and standard breakfast. The location is brilliant though right next to the beach and there's loads of bars/restaurants and lots of stalls and shops close by. It is a budget hotel but it was lovely, as were the staff. The breakfast was the same each day but it didn't put us off at all as we really had a fantastic week staying here. The pool is lovely too and the garden. We would absolutely come back here. The price of our holiday was affordable and reasonable too.
Plaza Real by Atlantichotels

Wouldn't stay again because of the deposit situation, firstly £200 is alot. I paid ours by debit card as I didn't want 200 euros handing to me at the end of the holiday. I saw the payment come out on my statement and thought no more of it. Expected my money refunded back the end of the week. What they don't tell you is that they put the money back in within 24 hours of you arriving but the transaction won't actually show on your statement anymore. Your balance will just increase and you won't realise where the money came from, so in my case it ended up getting spent! So 200 more than I budgeted for and yet no one even checks your room! Literally no one came and checked our room once, there isn't even a maid service so what even is the point of the deposit. Anyway let's move on to pros - We had a huge ground floor apartment with a very spacious balcony, biggest we've ever had which we were very grateful for. Apartment was clean with plenty of beds, extra pillows, utensils, fridge, microwave, cleaning equipment, toaster,oven. Bathroom with bath and shower. We had air con, modern tv with English channels, watched a few new blockbuster movies but wish we'd brought a fire stick. Nice pool area with kids pool. Didn't eat or drink at the bar but looked lively and welcoming. Beautiful beach nearby with some lovely bars overlooking it. Slide and splash water park is a must if you have children. No queues this time of year! Bonus. Nearby lidl and aldi (next door to each other) to do a big self catering shop. Stayed 7-14th October weather was glorious apart from the last day which was overcast. Also should give Taffy's bar and grill a mention, Welsh owners with lovely food and very cheap compared to the other restaurants. Cons - Deposit as mentioned No cleaner or fresh towels (didn't really mind this) but I know some people will. Our apartment was facing the football field at the back with loud music (some absolute tunes to be fair) but the football matches were loud and could go on until pretty late some days. Rooms not sound proof (again didn't bother me as I always take ear plugs) All in all I got a bargain for a family of 5 and had a glorious week of weather in a clean spacious apartment. If it wasn't for the deposit I would of rated my stay higher Tips - take a small bottle of washing up liquid and a sponge to save you buying these. Also take a little bottle of cooking oil if you intend on having a fry up or you'll end up leaving a barely touched huge bottle behind. I forget this every single time and it annoys me greatly, hopefully writing this will help me remember next time ha ha.
