Monte Raposo Vacations from $111

We loved the breakfast, which was different than any place we have ever stayed. Basically you pick whatever you would like; pastries, toast, eggs, meats, cheeses, juices, coffee, and make your own. The kitchen is excellent and always available. This was so convenient! The pool and pool area are very nice, and although we didn't use it, this would be great for kids. The entire facility is kept really clean. Although it is not located either on the beach or directly in town it is really convenient to either, and there is a large grocery store about 150 yards away. We walked every single day and thoroughly enjoyed it. Alvor, I think, is one of the best towns to stay at in this part of the Algarve. The town center, unlike many other places we visited, seems like something that preceded tourism, in that it is located right on the river and has character, but with tons of shopping, bars and restaurants, but it is small enough to get to know. Really a lovely town.

Room was beautiful, clean, comfortable, smelt great, little balcony withs ea ciew, cleaned every day and bed made, pool was cold but lovely and only a bonus when youre that close to the beach. The area is so lovely and the people just so welcoming and helpfuk. Recomme d and will be back!

Hotel Review Our stay was overall very pleasant. The staff were great—friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. The rooms were large, spacious, and well-appointed, and we appreciated being accommodated for a room change to get a better view. The amount of closet space in the suite was also fantastic, which is a rare treat in most hotels. The food was very good, especially the salads, which were fresh and full of flavour. Some of the meats, however, were a bit hit or miss—some lacked tenderness or depth of taste—but overall the dining experience was enjoyable. Would be nice to have real juices as well. One area that could be improved is housekeeping. The cleaning style followed what I was told is more of an American approach, where the beds aren’t crisply made—more of a “cover pulled over” look. Once I realised that, I ended up making the bed myself to get it looking neater. There were also a few minor details missed, like wine stains on the table that hadn’t been wiped properly. If that’s the intended cleaning style, it might be helpful for guests to have some basic cleaning supplies available, though ideally, surfaces should just be cleaned as part of the service.

Clean room, lovely location and amazing staff
