Having booked self-catering via a travel agents for myself and two friends, I read some reviews and was anticipating quite a few pitfalls to the holiday. Having arrived stayed from 15th-22nd May, I was suitably impressed. Distance from airport: When we booked this, we were told that it was 50mins from the airport. This is possibly so if you drive...

We are a family of 4 including 2 young children aged 3 and 15 months we stayed here from 3rd May - 10th May 2012. We had the worst time ever & took into account it was the start of the season! Where to even begin.... It is situated on a main busy road and the complex is split into... More

First impressions of the resort, not that great. However, I can't find fault - I'm used to splashing on 4 and 5 star places, you could tell this was only a 3 star. The resort is next to a junction and a hospital, my balcony overlooked the junction, my brother's overlooked the pool and the other one overlooked the main... More

My wife and I shared a Studio Apartment which was large enough but incredibly tired. The cooker took ages to get going; the air conditioning was noisy and ineffective; the shower ran out of hot water very quickly; the two "armchairs" were so old and uncomfortable that we couldn't use them. The sheets didn't fit the bed and there were... More

We stayed here in May 2002 and really enjoyed ourselves so we returned September last year. We really like Alvor lovely quaint streets beautifull harbour lovely restaurants and we would reccomend the place to almost anyone except perhapsa crowd of young people. As for the accomodation I think the decor and furnishings were the same as nine years ago it... More

All the expected facilities were available - Air conditioning/heating;microwave;cooker;fridge (with freezer compartment) and satellite TV (with BBC1 and skynews in English). There was ample utensils and crockery for 4/6 people. The only downside to our apartment (no 2301) was that it was a... More

We stopped here in April 2012 - we managed just 2 days before we moved to a nice 4 star hotel. First, the positives - this place is clean and the apartments are large (but VERY dated). The staff are friendly too. However - in April with a bit of rain, the apartments were cold and damp, nothing could dry... More

Travelled in October with a young child and a teenager. Apartment was self catering, selected a garden view, which was what we received very close to the reception. Was worried about previous reviews but was worry for nothing! Apartment was extremely clean and functional and we were extremely happy with the service (although we had to remind reception that we...
