Hotel Vilamor (Alvor, Portugal)

You can walk into town or to the beach in a matter of ten-minutes or even less depending on how fast you can walk. Taxis are quite cheap as well. Restaurants and bars are close by and the area is safe.

Everything you need is pretty much at your pleasure at the complex. From self-catering to eating at the fantastic restaurants, you will feel very much at ease. The food is quite good and the restaurant managers offer superb service. Even housekeeping is courteous and attentive. There is even a washing machine in the unit. There is plenty of storage space and the living room area sofa is quite comfortable. The cooker has an oven as well. Assistance with outings are no problem, they will even organize them for you.

The supermarket is not far, so it's easy to get something for the kids to cook or to buy little snacks, if you are with your family. One of the main reasons the facility is great for families is because it's not too large and you can easily check on your kids in the kiddy area.

Too bad there is no air conditioning. In summer it can get quite hot, so you will just have to sweat it out if you visit during the hot summer months.

The facility is clean but a bit outdated. It could do with a makeover and the kitchen needs more utensils. Don't expect too much sunlight hitting the balcony either.

If your unit is facing the busy road, especially if you are on the ground floor, get ready for traffic noise throughout the night.
