Staff were really helpful which was nice, especially finding our room which was one of the villas outside. Breakfast was ok but appreciated they have labels to show allergens, although disappointed that they paired the bread with the bacon. I’m gluten free and unfortunately both sections of bacon had bread underneath which seemed a bit ridiculous because there is a whole bread/pastry section."Reviewed October 28, 2026Return • Dublin (DUB) - Algarve (FAO)DUB - FAO • Direct FAO - DUB • Direct€743€373found 5 hours agoper traveller - Pestana Alvor Praia Beach & Golf Hotel
