When reading reviews please remember that Vila Marachique itself is not a commercially run resort / aparthotel etc.. It is a development of privately, individually owned apartments, some of which are rented out by their owners for holidays (and some, for example, are where people live permanently).
Had a great holiday in Alvor, myself, my wife and 4 kids aged 4-14. Vila Marachique great apartment with everything you need for your holiday, the kids pool is fab for the younger kids and the main pool great for adults.
Alvor is a fabulous village with a great family friendly atmosphere.

First time in Vila Marachique and renting Linda's apartment. It was very well laid out with good spacious, comfortable rooms that are tastefully decorated, 2 fully tiled bathrooms that were very clean, well equipped kitchen and we felt very relaxed and 'at home' in the apartment. All the rooms had everything we needed for our stay.
The directions from Faro airport Linda sent us were very helpful as we hired a car in Faro. The large balcony with comfortable chairs and a large patio table was lovely to sit at in the mornings with the warm sunshine filling the balcony which is accessible from both the twin bedroom and the lounge by large sliding patio doors.
The lagoon style swimming pool was wonderful with beautiful, (great childrens pool also!) well kept gardens surrounding it- lots of space for families and a very safe, gated and secure complex.
The complex is about 8 minute drive outside Alvor and about 10 minute drive to an amazing golden beach with an endless variety of beach restaurants.
Alvor is a lovely area with a great variety of fish on the menu in many restaurants, also a wide variety of European flavors and menu's.
It was a great holiday, definitely not long enough!!

The large apartment is well fitted with everything you could possibly need. It is home from home with pleasing decor, comfortable furnishing and in a quiet location on the edge of Alvor. We felt safe and secure around the complex, especially the wonderful pool and the surrounding gardens and lawns.
The apartment is a short drive from the town of Alvor with a wide choice of restaurants and bars, good beaches, supermarkets and a lovely decked walk through its' nature reserve leading to the sea, a great place to start or finish the day with either a stroll or a jog.
Alvor is an excellent base for exploring the western end of the Algarve nicely positioned for accessing the many resorts, nature reserves and other features the Algarve has to offer.
We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in the apartment and the surrounding towns and areas and are looking forward to going again this September

Myself and two friends stayed at this Apartment in September 2014 and had a wonderful time!
The apartment had everything we needed and the WIFI was a bonus! All the rooms were clean, tidy and generous in size.
Having stayed at Villa Marachique before I knew what to expect. For my two friends it was their first experience in Alvor and they fell in love with it! We were sad to leave!
We all plan to return next year :)
