The Alvormar is located just off the town centre of Alvor, its not a bad place, there isnt a Bar in the Hotel as such, just a room with bottled beers and spirits for sale, the rooms are nice although the views arent great from some of the rooms, the pool is very small, ok... more

This was our second stay here and " Location Location" is everything. As far as the Alvormar apartments are concerned it ticked all the right boxes. Only a few minutes stroll from the town centre and 10 minutes to the beach. the bus stop to other parts of the Algarve is... more

Returning to the Alvormar Apartments after a few years at the Dunas Do Alvor we found them very dated. Although reception had been revamped and a crazy golf course put on the roof the apartments had not been touched. The windows did not lock properly, there was a dangerous... more

We found the alvarmar apartments to be very well placed almost in the town itself and near to all local facilities. The apartments were perhaps a little dated but very spacious and very clean. Rooms were cleaned daily except Sundays and fresh towels provided each time. ... more

The Alvormar apartments were very clean and tidy. Staff were very helpful towards us and we felt welcome. Our ground floor apartment was, although basic, practical and lead straight out onto the lovely gardens. The apartments are situated in the middle of town so there was... more

My wife and I found the Alvamar an ideal base to explore the surrounding towns and villages. The fishing village of Alvor itself was pretty and the people friendly with lots to eat and drink. We found the apartment just right although we would have liked to have overlooked... more

A great choice. A central location 4 minutes walk from the Town centre. The beach is about 15 minutes walk away. Lovely large clean apartments with loads of equipment. Also a good book library. The swimming pool area is small and ropey and to us was the negative point. ... more

An ideal location for any holidaymaker who wishes to have a get out and about holiday rather lazing on the beach all day with facilities on site. The Alvomar apartments are centrally situated near the centre of the old town of Alvor. The rooms are high standard and well... more

More Traveller Reviews of Alvormar Apartments

Excellent apartment hotel located in the centre of Alvor
We stayed at this hotel on the basis of Trip Advisor ratings and an excellent deal from Travel Republic. We were not disappointed. The rooms are spacious and kept immaculately clean by a dedicated housekeeping team. The hotel is of an interesting design around a tree filled central courtyard and all rooms have balconies. There is a small swimming pool and crazy golf is available on the roof terrace. A sitting room for guests is available as are internet access WiFi.. The reception staff were warm and friendly and always very helpful. The location in the centre of town was ideal for a January booking with access to plenty of good restaurants. We can wholeheartedly recommend this hotel.
Short trip in the sun
We have just come back from Alvor staying at the Alvormar for 4 nights and are totally relaxed. The accomodation is large and clean, but needed updating. The kitchen was fine, but with the large selction of resturants nearby we never used it. You are located by a road that sometimes can be a bit noisy, but near all the amenities that's required for an holiday break. Bars, resturants, supermarkets , taxi ranks and bus stop are all a stone throw away and the beach a 10-15 min stroll. There are no noisy discos in this area although some of the pubs can be lively.The swimming pool was quiet and plenty of spaces there, but we preferred to swim at the beach, although conditions were unsuitable at times. The birds sometimes can be a little bit noisey in evening/early morning, but it did not disturbed us. All in all we recommend these apartments being were they were, for the price you pay to see this part of the Algarve
Another Great stay
Second year of staying at the Alvormar and can not fault anything yet again. Great location for everything, room cleaned every day(except Sunday), never heard a sound in the mornings as i slept (i wake up at the slightest sound) as we came in most in the early hours so didnt really get up early. will be booking again for next year
fantastic
booked these apts,after reading the reviews.and i have to say they lived up to all the good reviews.we were a party of six ladies,age range 23 to 47,lovely big apts got all you need for self catering great staff.we had a fab holiday, nice resort.word of advise,take taxi to aldi and lidl(next door to each other)for your basic shop much cheaper.local supermarket very expensive cost 5 euros going and 7euros back,for 4 adults. pool on small side but still good never a rush for sunbeds and you had sun all day.pool for kids,and play area slides,ect no music by pool but took ipod mp3 and speaker played our soul and motown in the afternoon,nobody seemed to mind lovely beachbooked these apts,
Really good location
Just back from a weeks holiday with my mum at the Alvormar Apartments. These apartments are very clean, safe and efficiently run. Location wise, literally a stones throw from everything without being noisy. We only heard the birds roosting in the evenings but they were not loud enough to cause us any disturbance. I thought they were actually quite plesant. Before you wander out, ask for a handy street map from Reception. I will definitely return to the Alvormar Apartments. My only fear is that they will be booked out, due to all the recommendations on here!
jewel of alvor
This is a jewel in alvor.The location is superb,the staff exceptional and the standard of cleanliness above average.Just a 10 minute stroll from the fantastic beeach and the harbour and in the very center of the village.The mini market is 50 yards and the taxi and bus stop just a 100 yards. The standard is hotel quality with the freedom of appartment life.There are no negatives with this accomadation. The pool is small but never busy at times I thought it was my private pool.
Perfect for our needs in every way
The Alvormar is situated just far enough from the bars and restaurants (a five minute stroll-semi pedestianised) so that when you come back to your room there's none of that disco music blaring til the early hours. In fact, I don't think Alvor has a disco. The reataurants are suberb. I thouroughly recommend the Riccula, the most expensive at 60 euros for two but has lamb shank to die for. (Must book) The chicken piri-piri up by the market is only 14 euros for two so it all pans out. You don't need to hire a car because everything you could possibly need is within easy walking distance. And yes the dawn chorus at the hotels atrium is noisy but after a bottle of Portugals finest rose and a glass or two of port as a nightcap, you'll sleep right through it.
Perfect - apart from the birds dawn chorus
A great set of apartments for our needs. Each apt was clean with bedroom, bathroom (bath and shower), kitchen area, dining area, settee and satellite television. The downstairs rooms had a patio leading out to the garden while upstairs rooms have balconies, some overlooking the small but adequate pool area. Reception was always attended by a happy friendly face. There's a lift and plenty of parking outside. Only problem was the atrium filling with birds who made a ridiculous noise first thing in the morning. There's a mini market directly across the road and a super market less than 5 minutes walk. Would definitely use again.
Did the job
My husband and I stayed at the Alvor Mar appartments for 4 nights last week. We stumbled across it by chance and it suited our needs perfectly. Not too expensive but clean and very well situated. It was near enough the centre of Alvor so that you could walk in for an evening meal in 5 minutes but far enough away that you don't hear any noise...not that there's that much in Alvor anyway. The beach was a 750m walk away across wasteland but we had a hire car so gave in to the temptation to take that each day. The beach is beautiful, 3km long with some nice but expensive places for lunch if you fancy it, we took a picnic each day but the toilet facilities were free to use and were clean. Alvor is a lovely little town with some absolutely fantastic restaurants, I'd recommend Vagabond (their roof terrace is lovely - we actually had to book to get a table there) or any of the fish restaurants near the marina.
Smaller complex centrally located
The Alvomar Apartments are situated on a slight hill in the town centre. You do hear some noise but no enough to really disturb you. The Apartments themselves are a good size but other facilities very limited. Only a small pool and surrounding area. It is much more personal than some of the large hotels on the outskirts of Alvor. The town itself has some cobbled streets, good restaurants and if you like fish try one by the harbourside. One word of caution Fish is charged by weight and you do not know the cost until the bill is presented. We got stung one evening by what we thought was an excessive cost. Alvor has plenty to do without being completely commercialised.
