This hotel is located near a golf course, about 2 kms of Alvor village and 3 km from Portimao. If you want peace and quiet I would recommend this hotel in Winter months. The garden is great and the outdoor and inside pools are OK. The rooms are small and bit old but have balconys. Ours, with a garden/pool view,... More

I stayed at the Yellow Alvor in April 2011. I booked it short-notice (2days before) and was planning on just chilling out and taking a few days off with my partner. The hotel was *perfect* for this as there were only about another 6-8 couples staying at the hotel, most days we pretty much had the pool to ourselves, at... More

This hotel was great, we couldn't believe how lovely it was when we first arrived. The staff were helpful and friendly, and it was very easy to book excursions from the front desk. The rooms were spacious, cool and had all the basics needed on holiday. At breakfast there was plenty to choose from and lots of it, and the... More

We've just returned from a trip into Portugal from Spain & had initially dismissed this hotel because of the poor reviews but we had to change hotel at short notice because of a problem with the first hotel, (which, incidentally, had received excellent reviews) and we went in to the tourist information office in Portimao where the lady was very...

This hotel was given to us at very short notice, after reading some of the reveiws on here i thought we had been given a bad place to stay. How wrong was I, the hotel is a fantastic place to stay, the staff are friendly and the rooms are comfortable and cleaned everyday, the breakfast was the same most days... More

Have just returned from our 7th stay at this hotel and , despite all the negative reviews , have had a brilliant holiday . Those who give the negative reviews about those who work there , should take the time to actually take notice of the staff and treat them as they would like to be treated if they were... More

I travelled to alvor from london with my daughter as it was cheap and a last minute choice. When we arrived, the staff were very warm and welcoming. They checked us in and had a colleague on hand to carry our luggage to our room. The room was lovely, with amazing views of the outdoor pool and lake. The room... More

External views does not reflect the shabiness of the rooms,(never judge a book by the cover). Beds were hard and uncomfortable. Waiters ,when told of our displeasure about the food seemed to let it go in one ear etc. Free Shuttle Bus stopped running on 30th of September.I have so many complaints and that I may sound niggardly but would...

I read a few negative reviews on this hotel so was very pleasantly surprised by how pleasant it was. The staff were friendly and accommodating, the hotel was clean, the gardens are beautiful and our room had a pool view, the pool is clean. I would agree with one negatvie review that the breakfast is cold but there is plenty... More
