Hotel Apartamentos Santa Teresinha (Alvor, Portugal)

Guests commented very positively on their spacious, clean and well-equipped units. Dirty crockery and unwashed linens may be an issue at other properties, but certainly not here. Indeed, self-caterers were pleased to find that they had all they needed and more to be comfortable for the duration of their stay. In fact, most found these units to be downright cozy. In the complex itself, the pool and bar area earned high praise. There was no shortage of sun loungers here and many were pleased to find that, even during the busy season, there was plenty of space for everyone on the sun terrace. Many also commented very positively on the bar area, which is manned by friendly, efficient staff.

This complex is set just outside of the traditional fishing village of Alvor, but many found that - if they wanted to venture into town - the local shops, clubs and boardwalk were located just a short walk or an even shorter taxi ride away. For many, this location was perfect, just far away to keep city noise at bay and yet close enough for convenience.

From check-in to check-out, the staff here are consistently friendly, helpful and cheerful. This attitude only enhanced the great atmosphere at this small property. It's not surprising to find that - given this complex's well-equipped units, great communal spaces and fab staff - a consistently high number of past guests choose to return to this property season after season.
