Pestana Blue Alvor Beach - All Inclusive Hotel

Can’t fault this hotel. The staff are lovely and always helpful. There are so many staff in the restaurant, constantly clearing away and always with a smile. The food was lovely, lots of choice and always fresh. Lovely healthy Mediterranean food. The drinks were all named ones. You could help yourself at meal time to wine. Lots of soft drink options for kids. The pools and beds were great. The room was comfortable and cleaned every day. I went with my daughter and granddaughter and the kids club and entertainment kept my grandaughter happy all week. They were great. I highly recommend this hotel. Also 5 mins walk to gorgeous beach

Stayed here in October 2024 with my wife as part of my 60th birthday treat. It's a very nice resort with plenty of entertainment and facilities to use. It was an all-inclusive stay, so we were never bored with the food or drink due to the many options available to us. The hotel facilities were exceptional, as, too, were the staff. There are lovely restaurants nearby should you want to get out and about and experience the local cuisine. And there are many trips you can indulge in to which it would recommend the trip to the mountain region an absolute must in my opinion. A bid thank you to all the staff there for making our stay a memorable one for all the right reasons.

Lovely hotel with good and bad. Overall we had a lovely stay at this hotel. The hotel is clean, there is lots of staff and they were all very friendly. I will summarise the main points of our holiday. Food - this was ok, If you are a fussy eater or don't like seafood then this is not the place for you. There wasn't much choice or variety and not much choice for children, but that being said I am a slightly fussy eater. 2 members of my family loved the food and tried lots of different things so this could be down to personal choice. Animation team - As we had a 5 year old with us the entertainment is important and it was amazing at this hotel. Miguel in particular was fantastic, our son loved him and he always made us feel welcome and stopped for a chat so I would like to extend a huge thank you to him for helping to make our holiday so enjoyabe .Also Theresa and Fabio were great. I hope the animation team get the recognition they deserve as they work extremely hard. Rooms- We stayed in a superior family room with sea view and it was wonderful. Very clean, spacious and modern. We recieved housekeeping every day the room was cleaned and fresh towels every day. Check in and out - both of these were smooth. At Check in we were greeted with drinks, orange juice or a glass of bubbly. Our room wasn't ready but we're were free to enjoy the all inclusive benefits while we waited. We recieved a phone call when our room was ready. We checked out very early before breakfast service and we were given a continental breakfast choice which was great before our early flight. Themed restaurants- these were the biggest disappointment for us. The Italian restaurant was of extremely poor quality and was not worth the reservation. At the surf and turf restaurant I was unfortunately served raw chicken, I am currently trying to find an email for the hotel to discuss this with them as I don't like to cause a fuss during my holiday. Bar Service - this was very poor. Most of the time there was just one bartender serving on the bar which meant you often had to wait in excess of 20 minutes to be served. This needs looking at and the hotel needs to make sure there is more bar staff on duty. Overall we had a wonderful holiday and will be returning.
