Pestana Blue Alvor Beach - All Inclusive Hotel

The hotel has great location with a path leading straight down to Alvor beach. There is a boardwalk that runs alongside the beach allowing for a scenic 20minute stroll into Alvor town. The hotel grounds are nicely landscaped and we enjoyed the outdoor activities including Padel and mini golf. There’s also an adults only infinity pool in a more secluded spot. The room was spacious with a large balcony, comfortable beds and soft crisp sheets. A large TV in the room had ample international channels. The bathroom was spacious with a shower/ bath enclosure which seems to be standard. There is food available all day as breakfast runs into brunch then lunch. The main restaurant closes 2.30pm until dinner at 630pm. And you can have snacks at the pool bar during this period. On The lower around level there is a games area and an indoor pool with sauna and steam room. Children can use the pool. The entertainment team provide is a kids club and usually some games eg pétanque in the afternoon. We enjoyed the history walk into Alvor with Theresa who is friendly, relaxed and knowledgeable of the area. Shout out to Ruben in the coral bar who makes a great Caipirinja.

Very cold public areas especially the bar and restaurant. Nowhere near a five star hotel. 3* at best. Dreadful cooked breakfast especially the scrambled eggs and omelettes. Hot snacks were often luke warm. So so buffet for dinner with limited choice and warm food. Lunch and dinner were identical in format with some different offerings. Nothing freshly cooked in front of you. Only good aspect were the staff who were friendly and did their best. Really cannot understand the great reviews.

Lovely hotel. Comfortable rooms and great location to explore the Algarve. Really nice indoor pool for when the weather isn’t great. Lovely outdoor pools but not been warm enough to use so cannot comment further Food was nice but a little boring. Animation team are amazing! They totally make the holiday what it is- without them it would be nothing. Theresa is so funny and is the life of the party. She is great for breaking the ice. She always makes people feel welcome and she is great to talk to. Jonathan and Miguel are a great double act and are fun during games etc

Lovely hotel all staff are friendly and lovely. Animation included everyone in the activities and were good company to be around. Rui at bubbles bar is amazing with the cocktails and banter with guests! Rooms were spacious clean, maids done a good job! Folded all of my son’s clothes! Would definitely recommend coming here!

The perfect holiday. Thank you for a lovely stay at your hotel. Easy check in and staff were brilliant. Food was great and our only slight complaint was hot food on occasions could be luke warm, we’re assuming this was probably due to under occupancy at the hotel as it was March and very quiet. Sea view room had amazing views which were definitely worth paying for. Indoor swimming pool really helped as the outdoor pool would have been too cold due to the weather. It also had a sauna room and steam room. Walk to the beach was only a five minute walk. And the wonderful boardwalk to Alvor town centre. We arrived very late at night but the hotel had kindly left some lovely food in our room which was a lovely thought. And we also had a surprise knock at the door with a birthday cake for my wife, which again was a really nice touch as we hadn’t mentioned it. Thanks again for a wonderful stay. Will definitely be back.
