We had a great stay and will definitely come back with friends. The resort offers a very good breakfast included in the price and the area is very nice to explore, enjoy the beach, go golfing, walk to the local towns and relax. I wish we booked for at least one more night to see more, but we have a reason to come back!

The beach and grounds of the hotel are amazing. The hotel is good but needs some tlc as the rooms are in a tired state. The view from our seaview room was lovely. It was during a holiday so there were a lot of families and small children around. Breakfast was good but not great and always very busy.

Great hotel, walking distance from town. Gardens and pool are lovely and user friendly. Beach and boardwalk at back of hotel.

Would recommend staying on a b&b basis if you are mobile. There are lots of fabulous restaurants a 10-15 minute walk away (or a 5 minute taxi ride). This hotel is a great base for lovely walks along the boardwalk. Staff are great, breakfast is ample and certainly covers everything. Rooms are comfortable and clean. I would stay here again.

A very clean and modern property. The location is very walkable to shopping and great restaurants. Every floor has a large lobby with a fabulous beach view so even the rooms on the back get to appreciate it.

The property was in a good location next to the beach and an easy walk into the town (Alvor). Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was generally good and well managed but certain items (eg. fruit juices) were poor quality.

WiFi was awful. Breakfast was nice but very crowded. Difficult to find a table to sit at. Maid did not replace bath towels despite leaving them on the floor.

Stay was pretty good, food was limited for lunch and rather pricy. Buffett every breakfast and dinner. No beach chairs so had to always stay near the pool.

I liked convenient location - midway between Sagres/Lagos and Faro. I didn’t like the fenced in property making it more challenging to get to boardwalk/beach. And surrounding hotels(?) properties look abandoned and unkept.

Mold in the rooms, very noisy, and absolutely terrible food. Would never recommend this place to anyone.

The staff were nothing but wonderful. Lovely and helpful people! However the hotel itself needed a revamp. The room we stayed in looked a little run down. Not worth the price we paid for in my opinion. Air conditioning was not working. Had some water dripping from the ceiling into our cupboard. One of my bags got soaked as I did not recognise until later one. Apart from this the staff were fantastic, friendly and welcoming too

Bed bugs in our room. Staff would not help whatsoever wanted us to stay in the same room after changing the sheets. Restaurant staff was not friendly. Food and drinks were overpriced and food was average at best

Voyage, vancances couple pour 7 jours. Un hôtel à recommander pour son calme, propreté tout le jour de la semaine, personnel à l'écoute et très expéditif aux demandes. On avait pris la Chambre 346 avec un balcon vue sur l'Océan Atlantique, un air frais et la levée du soleil, qui frappe sur la fenêtre le matin au réveil avec l'océan qui gronde... Piscine chauffante, sona, bain turc, billard, salle de sport avec un grand jardin, des bon restaurants et chopping dans le coin... Pour les amoureux, un tour la nuit à pied du centre vers l'hôtel, très sécurisé... Que du bonheur☺✨ à recommander. Coup de chapeau🎩 à Pestana Dom Jao II, c'est ce qu'on appelle du professionalisme ! Thank you and See you next Summer.

The hotel and the room we stayed was very clean. Right next to the beach, lovely view through the balcony as we had sea view. The weather wasn't very hood as we stayed at the beginning of November, nonetheless we enjoyed our stay.
