Good Points

Some of my fondest memories are of this holiday!
Lovely spacious accommodation
Lush gardens
24 hour reception
Most staff are friendly
Alvor is one of the loveliest places in the Algarve


Bad Points

Receptionist refused to serve me or accept my travellers cheques because I wouldn't sleep with him. He looked like Elvis, but can't remember his name.
No entertainment at all in the winter months.
Small cafe for light lunches, but no restaurant (unless there has been one built since my visit).


General Comments

We only paid £59 for a week self catering in the winter months, so we had value for money, but I was very annoyed with the receptionist at the Alvirferias Apartments (I was only 22 at the time). It can be boring in the evenings as there is nothing to do, unless you want to walk a few minutes in to town. It is a pretty little fishing village with traditional Portuguese people living there. February is a good month to visit, as Alvor smells of Almonds and citrus fruit due to the growing season. My best memory was of sneaking into the pool area late at night with my friends. We all laid on the sunbeds and talked for hours staring at the stars. We saw a shooting star which was lovely.

I wouldn't visit Alvorferias during the summer months as there are better hotels in the Algarve for the same price as this one.
