Vilamoura hoteller

Fordele: The beach was a short walk through the beautiful vegetation of the hotel grounds, or the marina.. so no shortage of choice.

Ulemper: N/A

Fordele: Lovely hotel, everywhere is very clean. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The grounds round the lake are lovely, with a boardwalk so you can walk through the grounds, also a short walk to the beach. Breakfast great, had a large choice, something for everyone. Room was a good size, clean and nicely decorated, good to have a balcony. Walking distance to the Marina which has loads of restaurants. We will be back!

Ulemper: Nothing to dislike.

Fordele: Great Thai restaurant with views over the beach

Fordele: the Halloween Buffet was amazing , the confectionary was superb, Very well done to the pastry chef , it was a feast to the senses, a real trea the food in the main buffet was ok, the Girls running the kids club were absolutely brillant , thank you

Fordele: For me the Staff made this a great stay

Ulemper: Could be better for family's with buggy

Ulemper: The sofa bed is horrible very uncomfortable. The indoor pool is very small and had no chairs inside and not very clean, people were coming in and out so it was always cold inside.

Fordele: No information beach club closed when booked this should be noted for October. No shop near to buy supplies for apartments 10-15 min walk per day. Pool bar rarely open only saw it once during the week there. Got a huge bite on face with swollen face for 5 days on awakening!

Ulemper: No entertainment. One menu to eat daily no pool snacks ie pizza, drinks. No shop for apartments 10-15 min walk to get anything.

Fordele: Very nice resort hotel with a beautiful overprized golf next to it. The apartment is huge and comfortable and very quiet for a good night rest. Lot's of swimming pools and a very luxuries sauna complex. The biggest of Portugal. Worth a visit.

Ulemper: Nothing to say here, it was almost perfect!

Fordele: We have stayed here before and we like the location

Ulemper: When we arrived and went to our apartment the curtain was hanging down which made the room look untidy and there was no kettle in the kitchen. We phone reception and both things were put right.

Fordele: Great location, as there a free shuttle that takes you to the beach/marina. Resort itself is lovely, with great facilities, free beach towels, 2 different pools, gym etc. Stayed in the 2 bed apartment, plenty of space, great facilities, including washing machine and a fully equipped kitchen - overall a fantastic place to stay. This is my second time staying and I have already booked to go back.

Fordele: God service og meget flinkt personale.

Ulemper: 1: Man kunne ikke slukke lyset på balkonen om aftenne det slukkede selv omkring 01.00 så hvis man gik i seng før irreterede lyset ind gennem vinduet. 2: Morgenmaden bar meget præg af kantine. 3: En anelse over priset.

Fordele: Amazing views, wonderful hotel, amazing food; buffet breakfast was excellent, meal in Pepper's restaurant was outstanding. Plenty of sun in south facing sea view room. Staff were all very friendly and accommodating. Made us very welcome.

Ulemper: Minor building works during off-peak season blocked direct access to beach from hotel. But access was possible with a short walk.

Fordele: Beautiful hotel in perfect location. Made us feel very special

Ulemper: The steak restaurant was excellent but a little too pricey

Fordele: Everything was perfect, great experience and amazing staff 10/10

Fordele: Everything, lovely place, comfortable, staff were wonderful.

Ulemper: Liked everything

Fordele: Lovely spacious room with views over the marina. Fabulous breakfast with everything you could possibly want. Lovely lady who came to turn down our beds in the evening and give us chocolates! Spotlessly clean hotel with an amazing spa.

Ulemper: Nothing!

Fordele: This elegant and comfortable hotel had everything we were looking for. The spacious room had comfortable beds (our priority), and a spectacular view over the Marina area with its many restaurants and luxury yachts. It had a balcony where we could sit and look out over the harbour. The breakfast dining room was large and pleasant which included an outside terrace where we could eat outside, weather permitting. There was a varied selection of delicious food, all beautifully set out, and the staff were very pleasant and attentive. The pool and garden area was extensive and gave easy access to the beach. It was such a pleasant place to sit in the sun. The indoor heated pool was also large and we used it as It was too cold for the outside pool. All in all a lovely hotel.

Ulemper: It would have been good to have had a bidet in the bathroom, and we didn’t like the loud music in the Reception area, but these are minor complaints, and we would definitely recommend this hotel.

Fordele: Very comfortable room and communal areas. Restaurant superb for both breakfast and dinner. Friendly and helpful staff.

Ulemper: Nothing much

Fordele: Royal breakfast.

Fordele: Everything was just good even at winter!! (Christmas) will deffo come back for summer

Ulemper: I have never visited a hotel before where you had to pay so much extra for small things. It didn’t say anywhere the pool wasn’t heated. It was freezing. Cruel for children to look at. €11 to use the spa. €9 for an hour of pool. €7.50 to get a bottle of wine open, and both fuzball tables in the kids play room charged !!!!We had to upgrade to a bigger room upon arrival because we had a 10 month old baby with us even though it says on the website babies are free. This cost €200 extra. All of this obviously had a negative impact on our holiday.

Fordele: Lovely hotel ideally situated

Ulemper: Nothing to dislike

Fordele: Very specious room with comfortable large bed and great view. Staff really kind and friendly. Great breakfast with different dish options.

Fordele: Didnt have breakfast. location superb

Ulemper: drink prices are very expensive

Fordele: Have stayed here a few times, always an excellent experience

Ulemper: The final billing system is a little unclear

Fordele: Went off season so it was very quiet but that was exactly what we wanted. Great facilities, lovely staff!

Fordele: Morgenmad og værelset var super lækkert og levede bestemt op til forventningerne.

Ulemper: Priserne på mad & drikke ved pool baren var alt for høj.

Fordele: Visited in December for personal family reasons and it lived up to its reputation of a five star hotel even in an off season. Liked the extensive breakfast buffet, the spa and treatment facilities with warm indoor pool and the shuttle service to Vilamoura.

Ulemper: Nothing really

Fordele: Love this hotel. Great staff, spa and heated outdoor pool, golf and Tennis. The Tennis Pro Vasco is worth coming for! This is our second visit this Year.

Ulemper: You need a car to get to the beach but the hotel has everything so you don’t really need to leave. Free shuttle to Town too.

Fordele: great breakfast, great location

Ulemper: nothing, everything was perfect

Fordele: Position and facilities

Ulemper: Couldn’t get an appointment for a spa treatment

Fordele: Lovely hotel in quiet grounds.

Ulemper: Room service was relatively slow!

Fordele: Staff were good and very helpful. Very nice building and pool areas. Rooms were excellent.

Ulemper: Food choice is average. Either a very upmarket restaurant, a fish restaurant or a limited buffet. Very little to do on an evening so you need to leave the hotel to entertain yourself which is limiting as there is nothing in walking distance. Bar area is a little soulless.

Fordele: Modern and clean, staff were helpful.

Fordele: The location was fantastic 2min for beach and marina.

Fordele: I stayed a couple of nights here at end of Oct. It was a pleasant experience. Check in and check out was quick and efficient. I was half board so breakfast and dinner included. Breakfast was buffet style with all you could want and dinner was fine, if perhaps a little limiting on the choice of items on the a la carte menu available. Location is great - just a few steps from either the marina or the beach. Room was fine with small balcony and table/chairs. Wifi worked in my room. No noise issues - although I don't think the hotel was very full when I stayed. They accommodated my late check out request with no issues. All in all, a fine experience.

Ulemper: More choice at dinner for the half board menu.

Fordele: Beliggenhed

Fordele: Good hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful particularly as we arrived quite late. Our room was more like a suite with an excellent sun terrace that had table and chairs and two sun loungers. An excellent breakfast buffet with hot and cold choices. Lovely breads and pastries. We would definitely choose to stay there again.

Fordele: Handy for marina and airport

Fordele: Big spacious room, very comfortable bed. The room is functional and worked well for our needs. Also had a little terrace with outside table and chairs. Quiet room and private.

Fordele: Clean and modern large rooms

Ulemper: Limited bar

Fordele: Overnatningsstedet lå i et stille og roligt område -dejligt sted. Der var dog forskel på om man boede ud til vejen eller ind mod haven. Værelserne ud mod haven og swimmingpolen var skønne.

Ulemper: Morgenmaden kunne godt forbedres. Der manglede spejlæg, blødkogte æg Der manglede nogen gange brød Nogen gange var der udsolgt af frugt m.m. pga. gæster

Ulemper: Bar prices very steep 2 bottles of wine 48 euro really not champagne payed 24 euros in the bar down the road need to review your prices as hardly anyone using the bar

Fordele: The room size

Ulemper: The breakfast

Fordele: Great location and the free bus into town was a bonus

Ulemper: Clean, quiet and the staff are amazing

Fordele: Nothing

Ulemper: It was closed, very let down and upsetting, my wife was in tears !!!

Fordele: Size of the room, value for money, staff were excellent,

Ulemper: sausage would have made all the difference to the cooked English.

Fordele: Was comfortable and offered what was needed. Staff are fantastic.

Ulemper: Was a little plain and simple. Was all fine, but a little boring and unmemorable.

Fordele: Terrific view, nice walking around, friendly staff, tasty food

Fordele: Excellent breakfast, hotel very clean, staff helpful.

Ulemper: Bedroom walls were paper-thin. You could here everything from either side.

Fordele: Great location - good room size and breakfast

Ulemper: Nothing

Fordele: Location and price.

Ulemper: We did not think that the chairs in the bar area we comfy.

Fordele: Location

Ulemper: Breakfast One bottle of water while trip Pay for coffee in room

Ulemper: Personalet virker fuldstændig uinteresseret i hotellets gæster

Fordele: Classic beach front resort hotel. Spacious room, with a seating area/table/chairs. Great bathroom. We got lucky and got a 6th floor room facing the ocean. WHAT A VIEW! Separate restaurant for breakfast with a great buffet. Lots of dining options nearby.

Ulemper: Classic beach front resort hotel. A bit touristy, but that is what that community is about. The restaurant is just a few tables in the bar area.

Ulemper: paying to use pool table

Ulemper: Vor families familierum var booked med havudsigt. Den var der kun, når man stod på altanen.

Fordele: After reading reviews I was dubious about hotel but no worries at all, rooms were roomy, modern and clean, breakfast was decent and plenty full and staff helpful if needed anything - location was brilliant and visited the onsite coffee shop and Italian restaurant regularly

Ulemper: Lobby and bar area could be improved with an update it just wasn’t inviting for an evening drink? Was never very busy and entertainment was either dated or loud music.

Fordele: Location - but as a frequent visitor to Vilamoura, I knew that anyway. That is the only point in its favour.

Ulemper: Car parking poor. Had to request a kettle for the room. Breakfast poor with very few hot options. Coffee was terrible. Had to pay to use the in-room safe. Huge groundworks being undertaken on the beach side of the hotel. Diggers and construction traffic noise all day long from 08:00am - this was not mentioned prior to booking.

Fordele: Everything was excellent. Good size rooms very good breakfast. Great facilities and a fab location

Ulemper: All really good

Fordele: Location was perfect, hotel service is 5 star and the breakfast was great!

Ulemper: Rooms were dirty! Walls looked liked they hadn't been wiped down in a long time. The carpets on the sides of the bed looked as if they hadn't been washed in years. This is definitely not a 4 star hotel, it's a mediocre 3 at best.

Fordele: The housekeeping was good. The location was excellent and view from the sea facing room was perfect. The buffet breakfast was nice with plenty of choice. The staff were friendly.

Ulemper: We stayed for a fortnight. Last week in Oct and first week in nov. Basically we had a lovely stay and would go again but we do have the following comments: The first week the bar was entertainment patchy and low quality (apart from the Portuguese folk dancers on the Friday eve). There was no entertainment the first week in nov and the bar area was dead despite the hotel being busy. It would have been good to have had a singer/ guitarist ( by contrast the Tivoli hotel next door had a great bar scene). The water in the urn and machine was not really hot enough for a cup of breakfast tea and also the water tasted as though it had been left to stand. I had a kettle in the room and that produced a much better cuppa.

Fordele: Very spacious rooms

Ulemper: A little dated decor

Fordele: Great location near to local facilities, bars, restaurants etc. Sea facing room good.

Ulemper: A major minus was the building work continuing in front of the hotel meaning that we could not access the beach/ walk along the seafront to Quarteria without a considerable detour, it also restricted the parking at the hotel

Fordele: Staff and complimentary shuttle to golf

Ulemper: The single bed was very uncomfortable

Fordele: Great location and helpful friendly staff

Fordele: Hotel was B&B

Ulemper: nothing

Fordele: Everything else was lovely, Sergio was always helpful and very friendly at the bar.

Ulemper: People leaving towels out on sun beds the night b4 or early morning and coming back to them when the sun was around the pool.

Fordele: The location of the hotel and the kids entertainment staff were very friendly and helpful.

Ulemper: The shower in the en suite was not working properly, the fridge door was broken and we informed on the first day of arrival and it got repaired only on the last day. Then, when we met the Manager of the hotel at the farewell drink, he apologised for the inconvenience caused and oferred us a 30% discount, if we visit the hotel again.

Fordele: Udsigten fra 9 sal ud over marinaen. Glimrende 3rettes menu og morgenmad med alt...mere 5* eller 4*

Fordele: Vilamoura port is beautiful great restaurants and bars

Ulemper: Not much to do if the weather is bad

Fordele: The hearty breakfast choices and gorgeous pool area

Ulemper: The cottage rooms are really outdated and very dark rooms...needs a revamp!!!

Fordele: Great looking resort and superb inner pool. The staff: fantastic. The king size bed - beautiful!

Ulemper: All great, just a small remark on: - loudy air conditioning in the room - no fresh orange juice at breakfast

Fordele: The Pestana Vila Sol Hotel is so convenient for golf at the Vila Sol Golf Club, which is literally a few minutes walk. The courses (3 x 9 hole courses) are great, and the clubhouse, food and staff were excellent. The staff in the hotel were very friendly, especially Miguel, the bar manager, who was always smiling and very efficient. We did not stay in the main hotel, but in one of the rooms in the gardens. The bed was huge and the pillows were perfect. Both were so comfortable. The bathroom was also large. The room had good air conditioning and WiFi, and a patio. We ate out every evening, and it was easy to get a taxi into Vilamoura (10 mins and €10) and back again. Lunch at the poolside was just ok, although the burger with cheese and bacon (which was also on the menu at the golf club) was amazing. We would go again to this hotel if we were playing golf.

Ulemper: The pool was very cold and the sun beds not particularly comfortable The room was not particularly well lit in the evenings when we were getting ready to go out. I would prefer to stay in the main hotel if I go again. We were not keen on the “English” breakfast, i.e. bacon and sausages, but there was plenty of other choices and the coffee was lovely.

Fordele: Spacious Golf Hotel at quiet location but close to the highway so you can reach everything that's important at the Algarve quickly.

Ulemper: Would have appreciated a coffeemaker in the room but that was really all that was missing

Fordele: We liked the staff who were all extremely helpful and friendly. It was really quiet at night until a group of enthusiastic golfers made a lot of noise getting out to golf before 7.00 am, but the hotel staff moved us to a quieter room which was much appreciated. The grounds were beautiful with a good variety of plants, flowers and bird life in its extensive complex. The heated indoor pool was lovely. The rooms were spacious and clean, with a good sized bathroom.

Ulemper: The location was quite remote, and a taxi to the Marina cost 10 euros, but being November they had no shuttle service, which we think they should think about since it costs 20 euros to get to and from the Marina where everybody wants to go.I didn’t find the beds comfortable, but Reception and Housekeeping between solved this problem by giving us an extra thick bed topper which improved the comfort enormously.

Fordele: All the staff were couteous, but Fernando (bar) and Ramiro (waiter) were outstanding.

Fordele: Fantastic Swimming pools Beautiful Gardens Good Restaurant for breakfast and dinner Large, well- appointed Bedroom with balcony overlooking the lake Spacious and luxurious Bathroom

Ulemper: The mattress was very hard and even though I have a firm mattress at home I found it uncomfortable. When I mentioned this to the receptionist an extra feather mattress topper was added to the bed which made it a little softer. The best solution would be to add memory foam mattress toppers to all the mattresses for the comfort of all guests.

Fordele: Skøn værelse med terrasse og lille græsplæne foran. Værelse i god stand og rent. Meget sødt rengørings team

Ulemper: Manglede lidt smil og imødekommet hed ved receptionist og serverings personalet. Rengøring af selve terrasseområdet foran restauranten, kunne godt være bedre.

Ulemper: I took my father over as he had cancer , the noise we experienced in the rooms were unreal I even asked for ear plugs but nothing then when I went down to explain you just get a look

Fordele: Lovely location friendly staff, been staying here for a good few years now and always enjoy our stay, the mini bus service to the marina is very handy

Ulemper: Some golf parties are a little inconsiderate but that’s just people nothing to do with hotel

Fordele: Very clean,fairly good location Helpful staff. Great appartment. Overall very good. Recommend

Fordele: Lovely helpful staff. Apartment was good. lovely pool and outside bar area.

Ulemper: Having to pay for wifi.

Fordele: Proximity to Browns where i was playing in a tournament, friendly staff comfy bed!

Fordele: Very good value for a one bedroom apartment. Didn’t have breakfast but think it would have been good as pool bar food for lunch was very good.

Ulemper: Beds a little firm

Ulemper: the beds were really hard and also the pillows

Fordele: Helpful reception and free taxi service to vilamoura marina

Ulemper: Nothing

Fordele: An amazing retreat,focussed mainly on health and well-being. Exactly what I needed! I slept for over 12 hours each night, tried the fitness classes on offer and ate the healthy food. A brilliant trip if you want to return home fitter and healthier than when you left!

Ulemper: I would love the check in time to be earlier to make use of the time there better as I was only on a 3 day trip. It needs heavier weights and mirrors in the gym.

Ulemper: The hotel and the staff was really nice however, we have booked this wellness/spa relaxing hotel to enjoy our stay in a calm place, but you should know that a disco is just around the corner, and it is really-really loud, some days we could not sleep till 6 am in the morning. That a little bit distroyed our stay and relaxation. The restaurant is very small, sometimes you need to wait for a free table, but the staff is really nice and helpful.

Fordele: The pool and spa area are lovely. M

Ulemper: The room was quite basic could do with modernising.

Fordele: It Is a Small resort and The swimming pool Is never crowded. The staff Is friendly and helpful. More staff proactivity would be very much appreciated.

Ulemper: Our apartment (n.4) Is near a local disco and The Music may bother at night. The apartment need maintenance; we had to tell what needed to be fixed upon our arrival.

Fordele: Flot beliggenhed. Stor lejlighed. God sikker parkering.

Ulemper: Hår på badeværelse. Knirkende seng. Hård madras. Svagt wifi i lejligheden. Prisen for høj.

Fordele: Swimming pool

Ulemper: Old fashioned hotel/furniture

Fordele: Welcomed my mum on her honeymoon and add extra details such as petals etc .

Ulemper: Mum explained the hotel was 4 star with 2 star furniture maybe in the future it can refurbish with up to date furniture .. she explained the furniture and look of the hotel was very old school !

Fordele: The gardens were lovely and we received excellent treatments in the spa

Ulemper: The room was a good size but it looked a bit tired and possibly needed a revamp

Fordele: quiet place, near VilaMoura,

Ulemper: Very old furniture, bad mattress, 16h check in is very annoying

Fordele: The swimming pool was lovely and a good size, with friendly bar staff and very convenient from the room we were allocated. the room was clean and the air conditioning a bonus.

Ulemper: The room needed a coat of paint, and they seemed suprised that we wanted to eat a meal there! I had expected to be able to play golf within walking distance of the hotel - you need a car to stay here really . A lot of facilities are advertised but are not on site. I had thought we might use a bus but there were no timetables for the bus which was a bit inconvenient.

Fordele: Pool Bar and swimming pool

Ulemper: Rooms are very shabby,badly overdue a refurbishment

Fordele: The location is great even though its far from shops and beaches.Room is nice,very english style.Swimming pool is situated beautifully,the whole territory is clean and green.

Ulemper: The staff is very unfriendly,poor english.Cleaning was careless.No additional soap and shampoo is strange for 4 star.Luck of facilities-no possibility to get proper food.Tennis court without lights while the dark time is best to play,when its not so hot.

Fordele: A very nice hotel for a low price. Great to spend holidays with children.

Ulemper: The cleaning could be better and the room should be redecorated. Didn't understand why it is necessary to go to the reception to ask a hair-dryer. The check-in only at 16.00. Had to wait 2 hours for it.

Fordele: Swimming pool is very convenient. Space of the rooms was excellent.

Ulemper: The cleanliness was poor and the cleaning service also poor. Some details of "cheapness" as for example the fact that there was no soap in the toilet. The little convenience store was more than poor with no selection of products whatsoever. Decoration could be improved. There is a disco very close to the hotel and the noise level was such that we had to close the windows to sleep.

Fordele: nice rooms and lovely pool.

Ulemper:

Fordele: The staff were particularly friendly

Ulemper: a little far out

Fordele: Spacious apt. Quite area. Good views. Easy access. Suggested access - If coming from Faro direction, don't access through main road into Villamoura but rather access through next road marked 'Albufeira'. When you come to a BP petrol station turn into road marked 'Quarteira' and the hotel is just 100 metres away.

Ulemper:

Fordele: Location

Ulemper:

Fordele: Morgenmad ok/god, men monoton - absolut ingen ændring i feks pølse, pålæg ostetilbud i 14 dage. 100 % samme menu i 14 dage.

Ulemper: 2 dage uden rengøring - måtte rykke for det, blev gjort omkring 1800 - og så fik vi besøg af en tekniker kl. 2115 - af 2 omgange, skulle opmåle terrassen til brug for sikring af gelænder - næste gæst - var en familie med små børn Kunne være opmålt i dagtimerne Udv. Bar/restaurant lidt generende med gæster ude - sent aften.

Fordele: Location

Fordele: Been coming to this hotel for quite a few years. Great staff, good breakfasts and a terrific restaurant attached to the hotel.

Ulemper: Nothing

Fordele: The hotel is dated, while clean it is very 1970s. The breakfast offering is very poor, they claim to be a 4 Star hotel but I've had better breakfast s in 3 Star hotels and B&Bs. Watch out for the coffee machine, while it makes the worst coffee in the world's it also managers to spray coffee all over you and the floor. So while the rest of the hotel is fine the breakfast is a huge let down.

Ulemper: Location, it is close to more or less everywhere. Free car parking. Our apartment was large, with two TVs, good broadband. Staff are great especially the girl working in the Breakfast room. Watching the House Martin's and Swifts flying just outside the apartment catching flies is great.
