Summary of reviews related to the '5 Star' categoryPestana Alvor Praia Premium Beach & Golf Resort offers a blend of impressive beachside location and extensive amenities, garnering both praise and criticism from guests. The hotel boasts top-quality breakfast options featuring fresh fruits, egg dishes and pastries and the service staff's commitment to making each guest's experience enjoyable is frequently noted. The scenic environment and the overall effort of the staff contribute to a positive atmosphere.

However, several reviews highlight that the hotel falls short of the advertised five-star rating with many aspects deemed below the expected standard. Guests regularly mention that while some amenities are of five-star quality, the rooms and certain facilities require significant updates and modernizations to truly meet five-star criteria. Issues such as dated decor, insufficient room standards and inadequate bathroom sizes are cited as areas needing improvement. Despite the marketing, the overall perception is that the hotel does not reflect the level of luxury typically associated with five-star establishments.

Furthermore, the hotel's policies and service quality have faced criticism for not aligning with five-star expectations. High pricing doesn't seem justified given the current state of facilities and service, leading to a less than ideal price-quality ratio. Additionally, some practical considerations like limited parking availability and the absence of table linens at breakfast detract from the overall experience.

In summary, while Pestana Alvor Praia offers a picturesque setting and commendable service staff, it struggles to live up to its five-star billing with significant room for improvement in terms of facilities and overall guest experience.

Summary of reviews related to the '5 Star' categoryThe Real Marina Hotel & Spa in Olhão presents itself as a five-star establishment, but numerous guests feel it falls short of this prestigious rating. While some praise its luxuriously furnished interiors and the peaceful, well-maintained spa, which offers a comforting and quiet retreat, many reviews highlight concerns about the hotel's overall status and maintenance.

Issues such as torn curtains, poor quality faucets, basic room amenities and outdated facilities detract significantly from the five-star experience expected by visitors. Reviews frequently mention the need for room renovations and improved cleanliness, underlining that the hotel's upkeep does not align with five-star standards. Guests also reported noise disturbances from ongoing facade refurbishment work and poor service quality, including long waits at the restaurant and a cold reception.

On a positive note, the rich breakfast options and the serene atmosphere of the spa stand out as strong points. However, these aspects are often overshadowed by complaints about the hotel's organization and maintenance. The general sentiment reflects that Real Marina Hotel & Spa is more accurately described as a four-star hotel with aspirations that are not quite fulfilled to justify its five-star classification.
