The group said that the new hotel, which is expected to create 300 direct jobs in the region, would be highly sustainable as it was a pioneering project in Portugal, designed from scratch for the "all inclusive" segment.

Pestana group already has 17 hotels in the Algarve and this is the seventh to be built in Alvor.

To be honest this is only good news for the Pestana group. Alvor will soon loose it's name to Pestana. Besides that All lnclusive is not good for the local community for obvious reasons and with the extensive golf interests of Pestana it will be rich pickings for them only. The construction jobs will be welcome and the jobs in the hotel when up and running even if they are minimum pay will be welcome but I feel that Alvor is losing its village feel and will become another Albufera or worse.
