Having worked overseas for tour operators , I may think yellow Alvor was maybe 3 star not 4 star , saying that its very nice , in a relaxing area but close enough to resort facilities, and beach . It's very clean with clean and linen changes every day , The rooms are on the smaller size but again adequate... More

The hotel offers a breakfast which caters for all (a cooked breakfast, croisants, rolls, cheese & ham, fruit etc). We did not stay for dinner at the hotel; it is a limited... More

Also, the pool sign says "no... More
