We arrived late due car hire failure and the hostess kindly made us a toasted sandwich and most importantly a G & T

Wonderful pool facilities, and lovely breakfast on the terrace. It was our anniversary and the hotel put a complimentary bottle of champagne in our room on arrival, which was a lovely touch. Very friendly staff and super helpful. Brand new bikes were available to rent for either half day or full day rentals.

Nice little airport hotel, perfect for one night for an early or late flight. Great reception staff, handy restaurant next door
Fantastic setting overlooking the 16th hole. Gorgeous resort with fabulous beach. The resort itself was quiet (we visited February half term) and the only 2 restaurants and bar open were quite expensive ( €13.50 for cocktail and €6.50 for beer, meals € 23 +). Car hire is a must as it’s a good 30 min walk to nearest supermarket. The Pingo Dolce one was very well stocked and reasonably priced. The Xenia didn’t open until Easter.
Would definitely recommend if you want a golfing trip - which we did- not so sure for family holiday as very little for children other than the beach at this time of year. Lots to visit nearby if you have transport.

Loved the different restaurants and bars.
Sandbanks was fantastic for breakfast, lunch and evening meal with views out to sea.
Bars we liked The Roof
A short walk from the resort was a fantastic restaurant called Marias, which we highly recommend.
The boardwalk was a great walk from Marias to the next village.

Very clean place with friendly locals. Could be quite expensive (especially taxi fares - 8 euros for a trip of approximately 1 mile).
Some very exclusive restaurants but also some wonderful great value ones too! We used the same taxi driver and he was able to take us to 3 different great restaurants, all with with lovely food and not expensive at all (3 people dining, breads/olives, 1 starter, 3 main meals & sides, 3 desserts, 3 soft drinks, 2 litres of sparkling water and 1/2 litre jug of sangria = Total bill = 74 euros!!
Beach was very big and very clean with plenty of parasols on offer. Also lovely off shore breeze in the evenings - most welcome after an afternoon of around 30 degrees!

Great beaches, always beautifully clean, with plenty of good restaurants at a range of price points in the area. A car is a must in order to get around, unless you're staying at a beach-side hotel.

We spent most of the time at the pools and the beach.The pool is free with the VDL orange resident card usually E25/day, they also have free pool towels and there is an extensive menu the the pool restaurant and bar. The beach has loungers that will cost a nominal day rate with an umbrella. The beach bar is fantastic with food, icecreams and cocktails overlooking the ocean. The house is spacious, airconditioned and good size rooms with towels and rooms are cleaned every 3 days. Lots of crockery and cutlery etc. Welcome fresh bread, milk, orange juice, croissants and jams on arrival was fantastic. Bag storage at the main reception was helpful as we arrived early. There is is free shuttle around the resort door to door, and we used this to get to the grocery store on site and to the beach. All restaurants are well run, clean and with extensive menus. The Crepe Cafe at the beach is a must as is the Well restaurant if you like Sushi. Handy putt putt and kids playground with food and drinks and shady spots. Fun holiday for singles, families and retired people.

A great location with easy access to the beach and the golf courses; a really pleasant and clean rooms, but the thing that made this such a good place to stay is the staff - they went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. Thank you. It’s highly recommended.
Great breakfast, with options to seat inside the room or outside at the covered terrace. Shuttle to/from the beach was a lovely service. Good wifi internet that allowed me to work at evenings when needed, always reliable, safe to attend video calls. Calmless of the hotel, even with several families with young kids around. And of course the green enviroment, with beautiful palm trees, and all gardens well treated.
Great location just ten minutes walk to the beach and ten mins to the supermarket. Three minutes to the Vale do Lobo reception area with gym and chemist on site. Outdoor area of villa very nice and spacious with great furniture and good sized pool. Loads of space indoors with good sized kitchen and large tables both indoors and outdoors. Sky TV and Netflix also very handy.
The resort is very tidy and clean.
Easy beach access by 2-3 minutes walk from all apartments.
The apartment was modern and fitted with all facilities.
Good restaurant selection around the hotel ( you do need a car).
Mini Mart inside the resort.
Overall it's a good resort to rest and have a peaceful holiday.
Nice boutique hotel with well-appointed large rooms. Nice pool area and a good location. A great place to stay if you are the independent type who isn't looking for many bells and whistles as far as facilities go. Very straightforward and had good service overall. Comfortable and easy-going atmosphere.
The hotel is impeccably clean at all times. I have stayed there many, many times over the past 25 years and it still retains its serene, utterly relaxing ambience - even when the hotel is apparently busy. The swimming pool and surroundings are beautiful and miraculously never seem to get over crowded.
The hotel is right on the beach, with sea views from all properties. It is lovely and quiet, peaceful - other than some music coming from Maria's restaurant located right outside the property! The apartments are clean, well laid out with everything you need for short or long stay.
Room was great for our family of four. Very large and beds for all. Breakfast buffet was great with lots of options. Hotel staff was so helpful and made our stay and return to Lisbon easy. Would stay again! Great dinner suggestions and help with reservations.
The local staff is very, very nice and responded to issues very quickly---being able to solve several issues from one day to the next (e.g. a new refrigerator). Very quiet zone in Vale do Lobo. WIFI works very well and also very nice bathroom.
Everything was very clean and the Apartment was super equipped! The bus service around the entire Vale do Lobo area is very efficient and quick. Restaurants, Bars and places for a quick snack all in short distance.
The absolute best thing is the heated outdoors pool, it was fantastic! The other great things we loved were the super friendly staff, the breakfast selection, the size of the rooms and the kids club.
The property was clean and service excellent. the room was spacious with a daily turn down service. breakfast was excellent with everything you can desire available. cannot fault the hotel.
Great pool and kids club
Absolutely amazing staff!! Some of the best I’ve seen
Tennis courts and racquet rental
Distance to the beach
Good food at the pool bar
The apartment had everything you would need for a self catering break. Ground floor property in a nice area, walking distance from Vale do Lobo centre.
