Back from Club Alvor Golfe today! we'd been to Alvor before so knew the layout. The apartments were spacious but were not very clean; towels, sheets, paintwork on all wooden furniture was grubby and stained, balcony railing was rusty and walls were peeling paint, not good for an explorative toddler! and yes there was rust on the wash-hand basin and bath! The pool was dirty and the kiddies pool was a three foot deep pond, all it was missing was the goldfish, there was enough algae to feed them on . . . .
But the sun shone every day, the sangria was good, and the Quinta Nova pool 200 yards away was great! Also Cork airport longterm carpark was only Euro 20.
Wouldn't spend real money in going to the apartments and can understand the dreadful reviews but we had a great break - the staff were lovely and Portugal as always is wonderful.
