The hotel is located officially in Portimao, which is not an interesting city, but just a 10-15 minute drive from Alvor, which is an interesting city. The beach location is fine, with a nice hike path along the tall cliffs. The hotel is big and it caters to (summer) tourists, the rooms have a kichenette, a living room with a balcony and a separate bedroom. The design is not the most up to date, but the price/quality ratio is good. The breakfast was a standard affair, pretty good. The service was friendly and helpful.
