Hotel berhampiran Tezenis, São Sebastião

Great location, about 10 mins walk to Lagos Old Town and the Lagos Marina. Lots of nice eateries nearby. Emmanuel from the front desk was very helpful to us and showed us the way clearly, recommended some good pastry shops as well. The staff that delivered our dental kits to the room was super unfriendly though.. maybe he just doesn’t like us haha. You can actually get lost in this hotel as it was quite a maze. However the fixtures were so dated and old. The wardrobe in my room was so old it felt like it was going to collapse anytime. There was also a weird super strong chlorine smell in the room and it didn’t dissipate even after a day. Sigh, we realised it could be from the day curtains as they likely had washed it with bleach to remove stains or something.. my husband made a fuss and wanted to change rooms but the hotel seemed full house with tour groups from France, UK and more. Breakfast spread was ok, same food was served for the 2 nights that I stayed. Would be great if they can do some maintainence works such as repainting the entire building. Doors of rooms should be changed too as they were so hard to open and close - you’ll be hearing guests slamming doors to close all the time! Very strange why all of these improvisations were not done when travel was not permitted during COVID times. The hotel would be an absolute beauty otherwise.

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.

We arrived just before 1pm, aware that check-in is from 2pm. The receptionist was friendly and immediately offered to check if there was an apartment ready for us. She checked us in early and explained how to find our way around the hotel. We stayed in a premium one bedroom apartment which was exactly as advertised. The apartment was clean and modern and quite big. There was a TV and air-conditioning in both the living room and the bedroom. The balcony was big with a table and two chairs. The pool area was big with lots of loungers, we never had any problem getting one. Staff frequently checked the pool area to keep it tidy. The pool could be a little cold at first but this wasn't a huge issue. Because there are two large pools, there is plenty of space to have a good swim. You can buy drinks and snacks from the snack bar and take them back to your lounger. We stayed on a bed and breakfast basis. Breakfast was from 8am to 10.30am. Breakfast was buffet style with a mixture of continental and cooked options. Every day there were little slices of cake, the chocolate cake was delicious. There was also a nice selection of bread and rolls. The fruit selection was one of the best I've had, including fresh melon, pineapple and kiwi slices as well as fruit salad. I liked the location of the hotel. It's in a quiet area and is only a 10 to 15 minute walk from the old town where there are lots of restaurants. We had a lovely stay and I would happily return.

We stayed in the Alvor Atlantico Hotel for nearly three weeks and would recommend. We had a Studio Superior, with a Sea View. We were on the 7th floor and the view was absolutely beautiful, we could see all of the beach from the beach at the Atlantida Restaurant to the very end. It was lovely to wake up to. The hotel itself was very quiet, there's no bar, there is an indoor pool, which we didn't use and it was also very clean. The Studio was well equipped with a 2 ring cooker, fridge and plates and cutlery, we had a problem with the cooker and the kettle which was sorted out for us, no problem. We had one rainy day when we didn't fancy going into Alvor, you can book dinner (or breakfast) in the Dom Joao Hotel, which we did for the one night, it was only a 5 minute walk away. It was buffet style but was very good. It's a 20 minute walk into the harbour or centre of Alvor on the boardwalk which was a nice way to start the evening. We will definitely stay here again. The beds were comfortable, a bit hard for my personal liking, the shower was good with plenty of pressure, so all in all would recommend.

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.

The staff at the hostel were so helpful and friendly! Hostel is located in an excellent location, close to everything! It can get a bit noisey but that's something out of control! It was kept tidy and definitely worth a stay!

Fabulous hotel. The location is great, the electric window blinds keep out any noise - we were on the 1st floor facing the water and heard NOTHING! The room is decorated beautifully but enjoy it when you first arrive because the minute you start unpacking it becomes a mess! There are no drawers or shelves to put things on, just a small closet to hang a few items. I won’t dwell on the bathroom since all other reviews have mentioned it, but after being married for 36 years it really wasn’t a problem for us. We couldn’t stop talking about the breakfast, it was delicious. A lot of variety and the poached eggs were done perfectly. The staff was a little young, and came across a little snooty at times but not enough to dampen the time spent here.

I returned to this hotel having visited last year – at that time my review said ‘I think I have never stayed at a hotel that has delivered so well on my expectations’. However, although the location is still perfect, the swimming pool an oasis of calm, the staff super attentive and the rooms elegant and clean, some aspects have changed for the worse, since I was last here. Firstly the breakfast which, last year was a cordon bleu triumph is now a rather uninspiring buffet arrangement – where previously there were cooked breakfast items freshly made to order including eggs Bennedict, omelettes, bacon and sausages with smoked salmon and a huge choice of fresh fruit, cold meats and cheese. Secondly, families (with young children) from nearby ‘exclusive’ villas are now invited to share the breakfast service – from time to time shattering the calm and negating the ‘Adults Only’ claim – on TA and other booking sites. Word on the street is that this unique hotel will shortly be replaced by a Marriott – which, in itself, is a pity – however it would have been good if the previous standards could have been maintained until that time. This hotel is still lovely and the staff amazing but – to those of us lucky to have visited before – it’s just not the same Palmares Beach House hotel.
