RR Hotel da Rocha provides immediate access to Praia Da Rocha Beach. It features suites with a contemporary design offering beach or land views. The hotel provides free WiFi throughout and 24-hour reception services.

Amazing stay! The hotel staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly. We had the deluxe room with front sea view and I must admit that it was wonderful. Very clean, comfortable beds, amazing balcony with a stunning view. The room was very light and spacious. The kitchenette is equipped with a microwave, sink, plates, coffee machine, a kettle, glasses and cutlery. It was not possible to use the stove for cooking there. The room was cleaned daily and we always got extra towels. Amazing room service! The gym is equipped with dumbbells (from 5-20kg) and a small barbell (and weights 2,5-10kg), bench, treadmill, bike and workout mat. The gym is small but you can do a nice workout there. There are towels in the gym in case you need one. The breakfast was amazing - the buffet had gluten free and vegan options, lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, great selection of cheeses, hams, pastries, eggs and bread. We really enjoyed it. The coffee wasn't that good. The dinner is worth the price. The chef makes fresh fish, steaks, fried pineapple, shrimps... Amazing selection! The restaurants in the area are very touristic and the food quality is not that good, so honestly you get a larger selection of high quality foods for a similar price in the hotel restaurant. The location is perfect. It's a 30 minute drive to Lagos. The beach is amazing and also you can walk on the cliffs from Portimao to Alvor.

The Inn Seventies Cheap and Chic is located 1 km from Lagos’ city centre. It offers 2 outdoor swimming pools and free private parking on site.

Opening to a terrace with sea views, Inn Seventies Cheap and Chic’s air-conditioned suites include a seating area and offer a simple décor.

When we arrived, earlier than it was written in the description, we thought we're stuck in time. Several 70's cars around, chickens, no people and scenery like from Battle for Alamo. If I didn't read previous reviews I'd thought I got the wrong place. Then we got to the reception and got an unexpected upgrade from bedroom to an apartment. And the apartment was really good. Swimming pool was not open, is it only April, but the quietness of the place, vicinity of the beach, clean space made it all so worth it. It is better if you come with a car. It takes 20 min walk to the town, but coming back in the evenings is not nice since there is no public light last few hundred meters. But Uber or Bolt can take you for less than 4 €. Also, take a boat trip around cliffs and trip to Sagres to see the most amazing sunset in Europe! Sleeping here was enjoyable experience since you can hear ocean in the distance, birds and roosters in the morning and cows in the vicinity. If you need a good rest, this is the place!

    Alvor River and Sea View is a lovely place to stay. The apartment is gorgeous, light and airy with a stunning view. It is well-equipped and spacious. It is very nicely located, an easy walk to the long sandy beach and close to the town with lots of restaurants to choose from. It's also a great base from which to explore the Algarve.

    Amazing location- very peaceful. Amazing little cove accessible from the hotel. Great hospitality and the hotel interior was really nicely designed with lots of space. Room was big and comfortable with a private balcony looking out to sea. Options to walk to restaurants either direction up the coast line for some lovely seafood.

    The villa is stunning and like an oasis of luxury in the suburbs of Alvor. It has loads of room and every facility you could wish for. Such a wonderful space to spend quality time with loved ones. We were not prepared for the incredible character of the villa, it’s interiors and the interior decoration. If you love mid-century vintage design, you will be in heaven! The host is super friendly, kind and helpful. We had such a fantastic stay we’re already talking about when we can return.

    The professionalism of the staff. Each staff member was very nice and courteous and all friendly. The cleanliness and design and facilities. The kitchen was fantastic. I was placed in an upper bunk bed and after 1 night was struggling to climb 🪜 up (I am 50 years) and the lovely receptionist assisted me in changing rooms and had a lovely stay after this.
