car parking
Posted: Sun June 14, 2009 05:51 PM UTC

We are visiting Alvor in October and according to the details for our apartment there is no parking. Can anyone give us an idea of where we might be able to park our hire car whilst we are there. We are staying at the Apartments Alvormar, Rua D Sancho. I would be very grateful for any information you can give. Thanks.

children in bar's
Posted: Fri January 9, 2009 05:29 PM UTC

Me and my family are going to alvor in august and although we are not party animals are children allowed in the bars. The elvis tribute sounds like fun and the kids would love the karaoke. They are 11,13 and 15 and would be dissapointed to miss out on the nightlife.

Pestana Delfim
Posted: Tue January 6, 2009 04:51 PM UTC

Alvor looks absolutely fantastic and I am hoping to travel to the Pestana Delfim with my husband and two chidlren aged 8 & 6 for 12 days at the end of June. I believe the hotel is currently closed for refurbishment, reopening in March. I have booked a seaview room (a suite would be great but is an extra €500!). Has anybody any travel tips/advice on the Delfim hotel and things for the chidlren to do both in and around the hotel?

Fitness Gyms in Alvor
Posted: Sun August 24, 2008 08:54 AM UTC

Hi,

I know most of the hotels have fitness gyms, most of which to my knowledge can only be used if your a guest of that hotel, are there any though that would allow me to use their gyms if I paid a daily charge???

Or are there any public gyms within Alvor I could use whilst on Holiday in Sept/Oct.

Directions to Maralvor apartments
Posted: Tue August 14, 2007 01:28 PM UTC

Could someone help me with directions to the Maralvor apartments please?
The address I have is Rua da Barca and I've tried to find a decent online town map to look for the street but I'm having trouble finding a one that's detailed enough.
We'll be driving from Faro to Alvor so if someone could give me directions once we leave the A22 I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks so much.

I am travelling to Alvor on the 7th July. Is it quite easy to get around the resort? I chose it because I had heard it was quiet but is there easy access to more lively resorts should we want to venture away from Alor.

Getting from the airport
Posted: Thu May 31, 2007 12:29 PM UTC

We are arriving at the end of Aug. Can anyone advise of the best way to get from Faro Airport to Alvor via bus or taxi etc? Car Hire could be an option also, although the mrs doesn't particularly trust me to drive abroad!

Any general chat on Alvor would also be good, re bars, restaurants etc

Thanks
