A Great Holiday.
Pros:

It was our third time to stay at the pestana south alvor beach and we really enjoyed it. From checking in with Kristina who remembered us from our previous stays. She was so friendly and chatty, and the glass of bubbly was welcoming. Room was serviced every day and towels changed and bottles of water left. Pedro in the bar was very welcoming and remembered us from before. Hotel was very clean and staff very friendly and helpful. A short stroll into the village along with boardwalk which is a lovely walk. We really enjoyed our stay and hopefully we will be back before the year is out.

For the price (high end) that this hotel is charging guests I would not stay here again. Location is excellent but the s
Pros:

The location

Cons:

The cleanliness was very bad. We saw one of the cleaners mop the decking area where there was a alot of bird poo and then proceeded to put a cloth into the bucket after and clean the tables🙈 shocking . The mattress and pillows were also shocking, one side of the mattress was on a slope and the pillows were like they were years old.

Boa opção à beira mar !
Pros:

Simpatia dos funcionários, em especial da Inês, que nos deu “up grade” de quarto, com linda vista das piscinas e do mar.
Espumante de boas vindas. Disponibilidade de bons produtos sem glúten e sem lactose, ótimo pequeno almoço!
Quarto confortável e silencioso.
Estacionamento.

Cons:

A limpeza do quarto e a qualidade dos travesseiros poderiam ser melhores.
Não disponibilizar café expresso no pequeno-almoço (apenas de garrafa térmica), e máquina de café no quarto.
É necessário ajustar a localização do hotel no Google Maps, pois manda para o lado oposto.

Lovely hotel a couple of things brought the rating down from a 5 to a 4 star but this is personal preference,
Pros:

One of the best things about this hotel was that guests didn’t reserve sunbeds with towels, so there were always plenty available throughout the day. The hotel has a lovely relaxed atmosphere, is spotlessly clean, and is in an excellent location. I would definitely recommend it.

Having stayed at other Vibe hotels, I was a little disappointed with the sunbeds here as they weren’t very comfortable. At another Vibe hotel we visited, the cushions were much thicker and more luxurious.

I also feel it’s important to mention that while the rooms have a lovely large bath, the shower is positioned over it. This could make it quite difficult for elderly guests, as there are no grab rails and the bath can be slippery when getting out.

My only other suggestions for improvement would be to keep the food hotter rather than just lukewarm, and to check and refill the food stations more regularly before items run out. On our first morning there was no yoghurt available, and although there was a section for fried eggs, there never seemed to be any when we went down for breakfast. And I didn’t get the idea of putting food on top of books!

The hotel is in a fantastic area with plenty of lovely walks nearby, most of them fairly flat. However, the walk into town, although only around 20 minutes, does include some fairly steep sections in places.

Fantastic hotel. Highly recommend.
Pros:

We loved everything. It's location was perfect. The rooms, dining room, pool area all were immaculate. The variety and quality of the breakfast was amazing. The hotel is located right on the beach with miles of boardwalks leading right from the hotel. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

There's nothing we didn't like only when we had to leave!
