Yellow Alvor Garden

I and my husband visited here a month ago and the exterior is much better than the interior. The gardens and lake are lovely and plenty of room for kids to run round, however the edges of the main pool was dirty. The interior of the hotel needs re-decorating, the rooms are ok but definitely not four star quality. The internal pool is actually an external add on and all the grates around the pool need a serious steam clean. The food was not very good at all, some food were under cooked and there is a microwave to heat your food. The only hot food I had was the soup. The external bar has to be used during the day as the bar inside is not open, so you can't obtain a tea or coffee until the restaurant is open. Not ideal if you have paid for all inclusive as we had.

Don’t know where these people went certainly not the same hotel. We asked to transfer to another hotel within one hour of arriving. Dirt everywhere. Bathroom dirty toilet with dirty seat. We were finally transferred to another hotel the next day but lost two days of our holiday. If I give all details I would be on here for hours. My recommendation DO NOT GO THERE. Have many photos but bet they will not post them. I I

My partner and i booked this as a last minute holiday after our other holiday was cancelled. As always i read the reviews and thought " we will go and see how fussy people really are!" From the moment we entered to the moment we left we didn't have any issues. Room- basic, comfortable, clean. Don't moan about there being no kettle in the room, take your own. Pool view rooms are definitely better. Food- there aren't huge amounts put out, most likely to cut down on wastage which is totally understandable. My partner is a fussy eater and always found something to eat. If you want a full english fry up for breakfast then stay in england. For the extremely hungry or fussy, there were burgers, hotdogs, chips etc during 2 snack times every day. Spanish- yes, there were Spanish there during the weekend. Are they not allowed a holiday to a different country? They can be loud but so are drunk brits. The hotel itself is out in the sticks. There is a free shuttle bus to the beach and to Alvor. We didn't go to be walking miles so were quite happy being in the middle of nowhere. The staff work tirelessly to make sure you have food all day, clean rooms( cleaned every day) and bars that are open all day. If you want 4/5 star luxury, then pay their prices. We would definitely return here, very relaxing, no problems at all.
