Excellent accommodation in an amazing location. Private double rooms have access to the pool and garden. 5 min walk from centre of Alvor. Staff available to talk to all day. Boat transfer and rescue service included with accommodation. Perfect for beginners or experienced riders alike. All standards of lessons offered as well as advanced coaching. Can't recommend highly enough. Thanks for a great time.

Alvor Kite Center is a truly, one of kind unique kiteschool where customer intimacy is performed as an art. The co-owner Nelson Nunes makes sure you'll have the best kitesurf holiday ever. Very good material, excellent kite instructor (Jakob!) and an impeccable service. All is done by Nelson to make your holiday unforgettable. On windy days the lagoon is great both for beginners as more experienced kitesurfers. On days lacking sufficient wind, you can use Nelson's SUP-boards, go to the wakeboard park or just discover the environment. I stayed in the guesthouse with pool of Alvor Kite Center which was top notch in hygiene, comfort, space and wifi, located just at the harbour. The service was perfect with a great, fresh breakfast each day. For those who aim for the best, go for the ultimate kitesurf holiday at Alvor Kite Center. Nelson will take care of you as I've never seen before in all my years!

A pity I did not read the other negative reviews saying the school is not professional and they 'keep you waiting'. I contacted them way before my trip via email, they said they would text me the day before and they did not..I sent them an email (no reply by phone) to ask what happened, they replied there was not enough wind (forecast and actual wind was 20 knots...) and they contact you only if there is wind. I asked how much wind they need, but never heard from them since. Luckily the following days I contacted another school and managed to rent kite with exactly the same wind conditions. What is the reason of this attitude I do not know, but they have done this with others, so all in all, better not waste your time with them there are better kite schools in Lagos.

As part of our holiday trip to Portugal, we wanted to get a feeling for what kitesurfing is about. We looked up some clubs and organizations and saw some of the bad reviews this club had, nevertheless we still wanted to give it a shot because other options were further away. Arriving at the place, we were still a bit sceptical because the place didnt look very professional. There we spoke to one of the instructors walking around and agreed that we wanted to take a 3 hour lesson the next day, learning the beginnings of kiting. Later that day the guy we spoke to messaged us that the conditions were good and that they expected to go out at 3 in the afternoon. Next day, we arrived at the place and we helped loading the boat and got all geared up. Once we arrived at our beach with the boat the instructors gave us clear instructions on how to setup your equipment and get some basic excercises done. In total we were 6 beginners, helped by 3 patient, friendly instructors. Even if things didnt go as planned they stayed calm and helped us. They all spoke english one of them even spoke dutch. The initiation in total lasted from 3 untill 7 in the evening, none of the monitors was complaining that the trip took longer than 3 hours or that he had to work with beginners etc. (Like some other people that complained in reviews) The total package, the 4 hours, which included the boat ride to the beach, kites, boards, wetsuits, costed 140 euros euros per person. Looking back, it's almost a no-brainer. We enjoyed our short trip with the crew and strongly recommend this small, cosy club full of humble real surfer people.
