Pestana Alvor Beach Villas

El Pestana Hotel South Beach estaba idealmente ubicado en la playa. El hotel era muy cómodo y disfruté de mi estadía de 8 noches en el hotel. Me gusta caminar / caminar y realmente solo tuve que caminar unos pocos metros hasta el malecón para disfrutar de largos y agradables paseos por la playa. Los acantilados también están muy cerca, y pasé mucho tiempo explorando y caminando por los hermosos y majestuosos acantilados. El personal fue extremadamente amable y servicial, con mención particular del amable y siempre servicial equipo de desayuno. Estuvieron atentos a mis necesidades y siempre estaban felices de verme. Gracias a todos por una estancia de lo más agradable.

We stayed in villa 49, which was a 2 bed/3 bathroom villa. Accommodation was fine but the smell from the drains in the bathrooms made the villa smell horrible. The ants were veracious and no matter what we did they just kept coming back into the villa in droves. We even found them in the fridge! It was most off putting and we had to put everything in sealed plastic bags otherwise it was attacked by the ants. The kitchen was too dark, no symbols on the microwave/oven to advise whether we had turned on grill/ microwave or oven. No fan or light for the hob so it became hot when we cooked. No frying pan, could only cook basic food. Pool for the villas/apartments was quieter and a nice size but in need of some maintenance. Umbrellas were rusty and broken, beds not as comfortable as the hotel and the pool could do with a refurb. They use salt not chlorine which is really strong and hurts eyes… goggles required! Quiet in the morning but gets busy after lunch. Can use hotel pool but this gets very busy and is smaller than the apartment pool. Staff friendly and helpful, however, no action taken when I reported the issues about villa 49. Location is excellent. Just off the beach, the boardwalk takes you to lovely restaurants. Try windsurf and O’Canterio. Would return to Alvor but not here unless it has a refurbishment.
