Pestana Alvor Praia Beach & Golf Hotel
Our Seaview cliff studio was tired and needs updating. However the main cleaning lady we met was wonderful and did a good job. Staff were mostly polite and engaging. Wifi was ok. Breakfast was good in variety but something were cold ( scrambled eggs were watery and held in a very large pan.
