Hotel berhampiran Alcalar Megalithic Site, Mexilhoeira Grande

The hotel is again great, nice rooms, friendly helpful staff. Maintenance is still lacking a bit, although some progress was made. Due to lack of rain/water the golf course is dry and golf is played on the roots of the grass. Last year october it was green with large dry patches, this year it is just dry except for the greens. Looks like the effect of climate change is increasing and next year October we will not come again under these conditions.

We last stayed at The Penina 27 years ago and I can honestly say that it has hardly changed. The hotel needs a complete facelift. Peeling paint on the hotel exterior is everywhere. Access to the golf driving range and other amenities is dreadful. At this time it is a bit like spot the guest. Sunday afternoon, just a maximum of 10 people at the pool. The restaurant likewise. Hardly any patrons and a total lack of atmosphere. The sad fact is that if people stop visiting, the hotel will die a miserable death. I cannot understand why there is a two tier system for wifi. Surely most hotels now offer this for free. On the plus side throughout the hotel the staff are delightful with many having been here for many years. There are about five restaurants but there never seems to be more than three open at any one time. They do offer very good food which is really inexpensive and of good quality. The buffet breakfast is extensive with more than enough choices. We would love to come next year and bring our whole family, but quite honestly I couldnt do that with what I have seen over the last 5 days. My view is that unless the management do something really proactive that with the intense competition elsewhere this once really lovely hotel is going to fail. Having said all of the above, the cost of the accommodation was competetive and good value. We have enjoyed ourselves and give all credit to the wonderful staff without whom this would be a very different place.

Fantastic hotel. Rooms cleaned every day location great. Reception staff very helpful and always had a smile Big thank you to Thomas ( I think that’s his name) at reception. Almost every night we asked him for directions to restaurants/ bus stops etc and he was so good at explaining it to us. Lovely pool area small but quiet and relaxing Breakfast staff were fine but a simple smile in the morning would have been nice A bit “ grumpy “ to say the least. Umberto was just great. He’s the tall one. Always had the biggest smile for you when we walked in. Very very nice man. Would recommend this hotel. If I ever return to ALVOR , I will certainly return to this hotel. !!! Just to say the jet 2 rep was wonderful. I took ILL one morning and she went above and beyond to help me. Phoned later that day to check on me and also the following day too. Wish I could remember her name. So a big thank you to her !!!

Very Clean, spacious in a great location, breakfast was good, would be nice if there were a few more options.

We flew over from the USA for the MotoGP race in Algarve and this the was the perfect Hotel. The Hotel is new renovated so everything is new and beautiful. The Hotel is in a great location, just a minutes walk to the Ocean front. The staff was absolutely amazing. They were both extremely friendly and helpful, providing absolutely terrific recommendations for places to eat dinner after coming back from the race track. When I say the staff was amazing and friendly, I mean ALL of the staff, the Manager, the House Keeping staff, the Chef's working the breakfast area where we fueled up on delicious coffee and food. Anything you needed they did they're best to accommodate us and 100% of our stay they succeeded. Special mention to management for going out of their way to extend our stay during such a busy event weekend. Special mention to the evening front desk gentlemen for all of the amazing restaurant recommendations. As for the rooms, everything is super new, great TV, great bathroom, great bed, and a very lovely balcony to watch the sun set.

The resort provides a very beautiful complex just outside Portimao in Algarve district of Portugal. We were impressed by the facilities on site and the food provided. Their staffs , in particular Mr.Joao Figueira, were so friendly and helpful that we were able to move around all facilities with no difficulties.

Nestled in a serene location, this hotel proved to be the perfect haven for families seeking a peaceful and rejuvenating escape from the demands of the work world. From the moment we arrived until our departure, we were enveloped in a tranquil ambiance that allowed us to recharge and reconnect with our loved ones. One of the most remarkable aspects of our stay was the prevailing sense of calm throughout the entire property. It was evident that the hotel had meticulously designed its spaces to create a soothing atmosphere. Whether we were strolling through the beautifully landscaped gardens, lounging by the pool, or enjoying a quiet meal in the restaurant, we felt an overwhelming sense of tranquility that instantly melted away the stresses of everyday life. The hotel's commitment to creating a peaceful environment extended to its accommodations as well. Our room was a true sanctuary, providing a blissful retreat where we could relax and unwind. The tastefully appointed interiors, plush bedding, and thoughtful amenities contributed to a restful atmosphere that allowed us to get a restorative night's sleep. We woke up each morning feeling refreshed and ready to embrace the day ahead. What truly set this hotel apart was its dedication to catering to families. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every member of the family felt welcome and comfortable. From engaging activities for children to family-friendly dining options, every aspect of our stay was tailored to our needs. The hotel even offered serene spaces for parents to relax while keeping an eye on their little ones, striking the perfect balance between tranquility and family-friendly amenities. Furthermore, the attentive and friendly staff added to the overall sense of relaxation. They were always on hand to offer assistance or provide recommendations, and their warm and genuine hospitality made us feel like valued guests. Beyond the hotel itself, the surrounding area offered plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities and exploration. We took advantage of the hotel's proximity to nature, embarking on leisurely walks and hikes that allowed us to connect with the peaceful surroundings. It was the ideal way to escape the hustle and bustle of the work world and reconnect with nature.

Hotel ini terletak di jalan yang sangat tenang di pusat bandar. Ringkas tetapi sangat praktikal. Sarapan disajikan di bilik anda (alasan kukuh) Tempat tidur dan wifi yang baik berfungsi dengan baik. Balkoni kecil menghiasi keseluruhannya. Alamat yang baik untuk melawat Lagos. Tetapi berhati-hati untuk tidak berhenti. Hanya ada 2 pejabat simpanan bagasi di awal jalan (30m dari hotel) Terdapat beberapa tempat kosong di jalan ... tetapi ruangnya penuh, penuh Tempat letak kenderaan di jalan raya sepanjang terusan 600m dari hotel berharga 12 Euro / hari.

Booked a 3-night twin room to attend a friend's lecture in Lagoa. The hotel, or better, motel is excellent for those on wheels, not for those on foot. If you have disabilities find another town in the Algarve. Some sets of stairs do not have rails, you have to go round the entrance to physically 'get in'. The reception has only 1 staff member when off-season, be prepared and do it all online. Forget questions about taxis, transportation, and restaurant advice is really subjective. The room was very comfortable, the second door to a set of stairs (curled) with direct access to the car park/entry of the hotel area was not. Cold and humidity pass through the doors (front door leading to corridor inside as well), as doors need maintenance. Breakfast is good and varied, for all tastes, except gluten-free options. Internet signal very weak, had to use phone data package. Check-in is only at 4pm. Pro's. besides what I already mentioned: bus terminal 5 min walk, good restaurants each way 5 min walk (one is just next door), supermarket passing the roundabout, beds very comfortable. You can walk to the centre (10 min walk) but the town is without interest, unless you are there for an event, for those on foot, you can stay here and get to know other nearby cities in the Algarve by bus, as the terminal is so close, and it is not expensive to go around by bus.
