    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating

    The clue’s in the name at the Yellow Alvor Garden – it’s a peaceful place surrounded by good-looking greenery.

    Relaxation's the theme at this hotel. That goes for the pool area, the laid-back entertainment scene, and the big, leafy gardens.

    The fishing village of Alvor's 20 minutes’ walk away – or less, if you jump on the shuttle bus to the beach. For daytripping, the snazzy town of Portimao's a 15-minute drive.

    Dont believe all the negativity on here! We had a lovely holiday!

    Thanks to all the negativity I've read on here i was actually dreading my holiday :-( However we decided to go and make the most of it .I understand you can't please everybody all of the time but we loved it!!! For under £40 a night All Inclusive if you want 4 star then go somewhere else and pay for it! No need to see if I could write my name in dust on top of the wardrobe as the room was fresh and clean. Dated? Yes - but you did look at the photos beforehand, right? No hot drinks before 8am? Pack a travel kettle, I did! The moan about the disused pool 'out the back' it's NOT EVEN PART OF THE YELLOW GARDEN COMPLEX!! It was empty with dried dead leaves in it, that's all. Now my biggest concern was "COLD FOOD-gate" - Every single meal, whatever time we ate,(salad aside!) was hot. Now here is my observation. If your dinner plate was cold to start with then unless you are a fast eater then the food did cool quickly. There was plenty of choice and you’d have to be mega fussy not to find anything to eat. We never had any issues getting served timely at the bars. Staff were always friendly and helpful. Everything was immaculate, the pool, the gardens, the communal facilities. We always got a lounger as well. My only disappointment was that the jacuzzi wasn’t in use and possibly not for quite some time - this didn't ruin my holiday!! So in summary don’t be a silly snowflake like me and get worked up over negative reviews. Enjoy your holiday & make your own mind up! You're Welcome!
    Not as bad as all the other reviews

    Stayed here for 6 nights with my friend After reading other reviews I was worried BUT I was pleasantly surprised. The rooms are clean and spacious enough for 2 people yes they are dated but you don’t spend all day in your room!!! Pool area is lovely you can always get a sunbed and a separate kids pool. Bar areas are great too, plenty of choice from a soft drink to a cocktail (sex on the beaches are very nice) all the waiters/barmen work hard and do there best and make a good cocktail. Food is good too we found there to be enough choice at all meal times you would have to be a very fussy eater not to find something to eat. Overall we had a great time and would return Go with an open mind and form your own opinion.
    All inclusive??

    I have just returned from an all inclusive hotel Yellow Alvor Garden, Alvor, Portugal. The rooms are very dated but clean and comfortable.However there were no tea or coffee making facilities and there was no access to make a hot drink till the restaurant opened at 8am. Food choices were very limited and poor quality. ice cream was served for an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon. A little girl asked for an ice cream and was told she was 2 minutes too late and wasn't allowed one as she should have been there earlier!! Burger, chips and 2 sandwich choices were offered between 4pm and 5pm. Alcoholic drinks that were included were limited and if you wanted anything else you would have to pay for it. The grounds were well kept with an indoor and outside swimming pool and a separate one for kids, as well as a play area and an outside gym. The hotel provided a mini bus to the beach which started at 10am and left every 2 hours till 5pm. The village of Alvor was about a 20 minute hilly walk however a taxi was only 4 euros. The village of Alvor is very pretty and worth a visit but unfortunately the hotel was not for me or my family as we decided to eat out most of the time and definitely not worth paying extra for all inclusive!
    Not a 4 star hoteL!!!

    The most horrible place we have ever been to. The rooms were filthy and smelly, bathroom dirty all the furniture dusty. When we opened the balcony door there was a roof right behind it covered in birds pop so you can imagine the smell. Very poor choice of food that didn't look fresh the tables and chairs look old and dirty. Next day after we arrived we have been transferred to a different hotel obviously we had to pay some extra for that but wouldn't allow my children to stay in there for another night, room smelled cigarettes . I don't know how on the earth the place has 4stars maybe it was a decent hotel years ago but now it needs a huge renovation . I would not recommend to anyone especially family with small kids. Very disappointing experience
    Holiday but not for kids

    We had a lovely holiday, we didn't take the kids and we were glad we didn't. Hotel was lovely and fab for just us but not alot for kids to do except the pool and slide. Food was hit and miss, lots of fish, but always the option of a burger or hotdog at snack times. Pool was very cold but was grateful for this by the end of the week because of the heat!! Grounds were lovely to walk around. Hotel room was basic but good enough to sleep in, aircon and TV facilities and maid services every day.
