Staff amazing but hotel needs a revamp
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

A fabulous base!
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.

Lovely 4 night trip
Had a lovely 4 night stay in the Dom Joao recently. Have been before but standards are still excellent. Lots more choice for breakfast than when I last visited (quite a few years ago) and dining hall and outside are clean and well kept. Gym is well equipped and spacious, pool is lovely and room was great with a nice view of the pool and sea from the balcony. Garden area is lovely. Great location by the beach and walking distance to Alvor.

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.

Decent for the price
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.

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.
