"Here the South Beach is purely metaphorical — the Pestana Alvor South Beach takes its name and style inspiration from Miami’s most popular neighborhood. Design-wise, it’s a bit of a departure from the traditional resorts and hotels that line this stretch of Portugal’s southern coast. Then again, the geography and climate — wide, sandy beaches, crashing waves, endless sunshine — is similar enough to Florida. Why shouldn’t an Art Deco hotel work?" - Tablet Hotels
