Quarteira hotellia

Plussat: The Staff is very friendly and kind.

Plussat: The room was quiet.

Miinukset: It’s expensive for what it is.

Plussat: Both Miguel and Lucy were so kind and welcoming. When Lucy found out we didn't eat gluten or dairy she found a recipe and made us gluten free pancakes!

Plussat: Spacious rooms, comfy beds, quiet and away from the beach buzz... a wonderful place to chill. Also very close to Faro Airport. Staff were very pleasant and the dinner meal we had was delicious..

Miinukset: Nothing to dislike - It was perfect.

Plussat: Honestly one of the nicest places we’ve ever stayed. The rooms are a generous size, the breakfast is delicious. While all these things are true it is really the people that makes this special. Miguel who owns the hotel with his family is a brilliant host we particularly enjoyed being shown around his wine cellar and our cooking lesson! Lucy is also absolutely brilliant and so kind I really enjoyed talking with her. All the staff were brilliant and gave us an excellent stay. The cherry on top was Paco the pug!

Miinukset: The only thing I would change is writing this review! I don’t want to give the secret away of how special this place is.

Plussat: The property was quite stunningly beautiful and our room was crisp and clean and wonderfully comfortable. The staff could not have been more kind or helpful.

Miinukset: Nothing at all

Plussat: Fantastic place for “escape from city “ break !

Plussat: Wow, staying here was the perfect end to our Portuguese road trip! Miguel and his lovely family did everything to make our stay comfortable and relaxing. The hotel is set within a tranquil countryside location with modern and spacious rooms which were immaculate. Our 3 year old enjoyed exploring the organic fruit gardens and our teenager loved the pool. The hotel also has a restaurant, bar and wine cellar so it is perfect for those days when you don't want to venture out but still want to experience Portuguese culture. The roof terrace allows you to view Faro and surrounding countryside and at night, is was great for stargazing, my husband wished that he had his binoculars! All this and yet only 15 minutes drive to Faro - we will definitely visit this gem of a hotel again!

Plussat: The room was spacious and it had a private garden for our two year old to play in. The food was the best we had in Portugal as was the coffee.

Plussat: What a find! The hotel is beautiful; clean and modern with lovely traditional touches. Breakfast is a continental self-service buffet with plenty to eat with staff on hand to offer coffee and even made to order pancakes. Dinners are excellent, skilfully prepared with local produce. Location is a peaceful setting not far from Faro town, but what really makes it all work so well is Miguel and all the staff who work so hard and went the extra mile for my wife and I to make sure that everything went smoothly including bike hire and wine tasting. Nothing was too much trouble for them. As we had an early flight on the day of departure, a packed breakfast was prepared for us to take away. All in all,we had a great time and we will be back!

Miinukset: Nothing. It was all perfectly satisfactory.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Staff, including the cook, and the owners, couldn't have been more friendly, helpful, gracious, willing to do anything to make our stay perfect...which it was!!!

Miinukset: There wasn't one thing we didn't like...in fact, we booked an extra night!

Plussat: Good location - easy walking to centre, bus and railway station. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was plentiful and interesting.

Miinukset: The room was only just big enough but it did have a small balcony overlooking the internal courtyard.

Plussat: Although nicely prepared and presented,breakfast was limited,being a "continental " breakfast with no hot food.Staff were freindly and helpful.

Miinukset: See above re breakfast.No full length mirror nor chair in the bedroom.The veranda could have done with a small table.

Plussat: Sisustukseen ja esteettisyyteen on panostettu ja hotelli on kaunis. Aamiaispöytä katettu ja runsas, osaksi tosin hieman liian makeaa omaan makuuni.

Miinukset: Suihku ja vessa jäivät kosteiksi, kunnon ilmastointi puuttui.

Plussat: Lovely place to stay in a fabulous city. The staff were very friendly and helpful & the room was very clean and comfortable.

Miinukset: If I was being picky a full length mirror would have been nice!

Plussat: Impeccably kept guest house with lovely rooms. All staff extremely friendly and so helpful. The best breakfast ... delicious.

Miinukset: Nothing to dislike

Plussat: It was a pleasure to stay in this guest house. Best combination of high level, quality service and personal attention. If you are sick of mass tourism and need individual attention in a charming ambience then you should come to this place. Even the breakfast is table served.

Plussat: Lovely hotel, great location, and a FANTASTIC staff. They are friendly and helpful. They were constantly checking how they could help us and make our stay more comfortable. The hotel is only a few minutes walk from the centre of the old town.

Miinukset: nothing was wrong

Plussat: Well located close to bus, rail and airport. A short distance from the Old Town, numerous restaurants and the harbour. The reception staff were always friendly - when they were there. The breakfasts were absolutely superb. It's worth staying here just for the breakfast!

Miinukset: We arrived about 20 minutes early and, despite hammering on the door and phoning their number, nobody answered. So went for lunch and came back an hour later. There was a traditional Portuguese music evening with BBQ on the night before we left (at 100 euros per couple!). We elected not at attend but were asked numerous times if we wanted to go. In the end the music and singing (which is an acquired taste) went on till midnight so little chance of an early night before our trip home. The room was quite small though (just) adequate. The balcony was nothing more than a ledge about 50cm wide with railings.

Plussat: Behind a very insignificant front door there is an Aladdin's cave of wonders. A music room, a wine tasting room, library, snooker room, swimming pool area with bar and much more. A chilled glass of wine on arrival was very welcome. All of this in the heart of the old town. A wonderful bedroom with a patio and sitting room.

Miinukset: Leaving!

Miinukset: Not enough direction’s to get to rooms and to reception,, I got completely lost.

Plussat: Breakfast was like being in a 3 star hotel.

Miinukset: The bar was not 5 star ambiance.

Plussat: The location: 5mins walk to beach, 5mins walk to bars and restaurants in the marina. The hotel staff: very friendly and efficient service.

Plussat: Beautiful, clean, spacious

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Loved our stay at this hotel! So relaxing, great location and lovely pools. The rooms are very spacious and the beds are very comfy. Very reasonable priced and this hotel is in the best location, not in the middle of the marina but on the edge so you don’t get any of the loud noises from the multiple Irish bars ha. I would 100% visit this hotel again!!

Miinukset: Nothing to complain about

Plussat: excellent staff fantastic location extremely well maintained facilities very good breakfast selection comfortable bed and good size room First class hotel and we loved staying here!

Miinukset: can't think of anything I didn't like

Plussat: A really good location for the Marina area and restaurants, the hotel itself is excellent and the facilities are exactly what you need to relax and unwind.

Plussat: Nice hotel, very nice pool and grounds area and nice that it was within a short walk to the marina with lots of shops and restaurants.

Miinukset: We were put in a ground floor room right beside the spa that smelled musty so wasn't great.

Plussat: Location was good for a short stay. Spa massage was good.

Miinukset: Breakfast could have been better. The bacon and sausage let it down and it felt more like three star than five.

Plussat: We had been to the Lake Resort a few years before and we were pleased to find it was at the same high standard. We travelled this time with our 4 month old daughter and it was ideal for a young baby. We simply just stayed on the resort and enjoyed the pool cabanas and loungers and strolled around the grounds. Villamoura is so close that in the evening you can walk for 5 minutes and be at the marina for dinner. Perfect for our needs.

Miinukset: There was only 1 onsite restaurant open on Monday evening but we did not know. It was completely booked out despite tables being free in the restaurant. It took some time to persuade the restaurant to take us, even though the it did not fill up all evening.

Plussat: Clean , simple , modern , excellent breakfast ,price staff

Miinukset: Access

Plussat: Facilities for children were good

Miinukset: Very expensive, limited food choice for children, no drinks come with evening buffet for half board

Plussat: Nice and clean hotel

Miinukset: They are not really friendly, I had troubles with my car and the prepaid card and they didn’t want to help me

Plussat: Siisti ja miellyttävä rauhallinen ympäristö

Miinukset: Kuntosali oli aika vaatimaton, ei voimailulaitteita

Plussat: Perfect location for the waterpark, lovely food and really friendly staff. Great pool and play area for children with the bonus of a heated indoor pool and jacuzzi if you wanted a break from the sun!

Miinukset: Nothing! Would recommend

Plussat: We all enjoyed our stay at aquashow park hotel, the hotel was amazing and the water park,would recommend aquashow to people

Plussat: Amazing location. Right next to water park. So many things for the kids to do. Arcades room. New soft play. Indoor and outdoor pools and more!

Miinukset: The wet room. Made the bathroom floor very wet. Wasn’t ideal for the kids. Had to use a towel for the water on the floor from the shower.

Plussat: Great location for waterpark

Miinukset: Food was below average and over priced. Hot food was barely warm.

Miinukset: The location, was out of the way and had to get taxi to every other location. No shops in walking distance. They were 3 minute drive but a 30 minute walk. Not ideal when you have kids.

Plussat: Kiva perhehotelli, hieno vesipuisto hotellin yhteydessä! Allasbaarin ruoat ok, samoin aamiainen. Mukavaa iltaohjelmaa ja jumppia. Suosittelen!

Miinukset: Kaukana kaikesta, ei kävelyteitä ja taksin saaminen kesti joka kerta vähintään 45 min, vaikka respassa lupasivat että kestää 15 min.

Plussat: Beautiful property, very comfortable and welcoming. Nice rooms and facilities. Very beautiful beach

Plussat: Great hotel all round and great location

Miinukset: All ok

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very helpful staff, good breakfast

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Everywhere smelt of sewer it was disgusting. Difficult to sleep with the smell and wondering if it was a health risk.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Cold welcome & unhygienic

Plussat: We have had many visits to Tivoli Marina and location is excellent hotel facilities are excellent.

Miinukset: Sadly on this visit we made a mistake with the room and didn’t realise the family room wasn’t adequate for 4 as stated, it was the only room left as they were fully booked but sadly we had to book our sons into the hotel down the road. Also bathroom could have been cleaner and blockage in sink cleared which left the bathroom smelly on occasions. General cleaning of the room was not up to usual standard either.

Plussat: Breakfast was good Staff were helpful

Miinukset: The building is dated and a bit shabby; it’s about theee and a half stars. The locale is v ‘touristy’. Every bar and almost every restaurant has televisions showing sport and groups of lads drinking lager. The hotel attracts chavvy behaviour

Miinukset: We booked five rooms for three nights .....three months ago.... On arrival the hotel had over booked and told us they had no rooms!!!! not a pleasant experience ......

Plussat: Staff attitude and general service was very poor

Miinukset: Service

Plussat: Excellent location & accommodations. All staff was very pleasant and helpful. Buffet breakfast was very nice. Pool area was beautiful & relaxing. Great vacation here in Portugal.

Plussat: Lovely hotel. Massive comfy bed. Room soundproof which helps as there are lots of large groups staying. Good breakfast. Hotel pricey but worth the extra.

Miinukset: N/a

Plussat: The location was great as was the room. Lovely staff. Lovely breakfast.

Miinukset: Small things needed improving. Staff around the pool could have taken drinks/food orders. The biggest gripe though was that the towel collection area, where you collected towels for the pool, moved to reception. The issue with this was that you were queuing with people booking in/out, and returning wet towels over the reception. Not ideal.

Plussat: It’s location , reception staff were excellent.

Miinukset: After having stayed there on at least 4 separate occasions I have noticed that the overall fabric appears tired. The bar prices were very overpriced.

Plussat: Excellent hotel right on the beech. Car staff in particular were superb and couldn’t do more for you.

Miinukset: Very quiet at night. Too quiet. For early Sept one would have hoped for a little more entertainment.

Plussat: Food was very good - if you were allowed to enjoy it Staff at pool bar were excellent

Miinukset: Too much cleaning products, with chemicals, over powering smell causing you to cough. Staff over attentive removing plates glasses too soon, it felt like you had to rush your food or leave it. Didn't Have the personal touches that suites usually have. Room not cleaned until late afternoon. I loved my first stay at Crowne Plaza last year, unfortunately it fell way below standard this time.

Plussat: The breakfast was superb, the highest quality and food beautifully presented.

Miinukset: We both felt there should be some toilets nearer to the Pool Area.

Plussat: Great pool, great beer, grt snacks. Staff friendly

Plussat: Good location staff care more offering waters complimentary fruits Breakfast is delicious

Miinukset: Kids pool need to be heated. And need indoor kids area

Plussat: Fantastic location and brilliant staff.

Plussat: Swimming pools and always beds available Great space, quiet and can get an Uber within 5 mins guaranteed. Lots for the kids to do

Miinukset: Locking random. access to Hilton bars and restaurants after 7pm.

Plussat: the suite had everything we needed and more. The room was cleaned every day. Excellent service with exceptionally helpful staff. Had the advantage of the Hilton facilities and free shuttle bus into the marine.

Miinukset: n/a

Plussat: very nice apartment

Miinukset: overcrowded pool

Plussat: Huoneisto erinomainen, tilaa runsaasti. Henkilökunta avulias ja ystävällinen. Runsas aamiainen. Kuljetukset hotellilta satamaan pelkkää plussaa

Plussat: We were allowed a late check out on our last day which made it a much more relaxing day. The hotel/apartment facilities were excellent and the staff friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend a stay here

Miinukset: Noting major but the sofa in our room was a little “tired” and took away from the rest of the area

Plussat: Everything was great . Staff were so helpful

Miinukset: Price range could be a bit lower

Plussat: Location is good Quietness is good Offering is good

Miinukset: Mattresses were very hard Switched to pull out bed in sofa but really only marginally better

Miinukset: dirty diapers from previous guests were found hidden in drawers in our accommodation yuck :-(

Plussat: Plenty of room in the two bed apartment. Pool areas were lovely with plenty of beds. The marina is a short taxi or shuttle bus ride away and can be walked to in 25 minutes. I had a small issue while there but Dina the hotel manager was very helpful.

Miinukset: The apartment side of this development is privately owned and needs to be modernised. €50 deposit required in case you lose the keys. No key cards used. Also no facility to swipe and reserve on your credit card so you can charge items to your room. You’re expected to write out your card details and leave them at reception. I didn’t and had some issues. Silly really in 2019

Plussat: Location is great - easy to walk or drive to local restaurants etc Accommodation also excellent very much a home from home

Miinukset: The only gripe for me is that the mats on the beds around the pool have seen better days -many stained, dirty and a number with cuts which should not happenj

Plussat: Attentive and polite Staff. Good breakfast with loads of choice. Lovely pool area with poolside bar, clean rooms and bathrooms.

Miinukset: Location. Very large hotel so lots of walking from room to pool, dining rooms and reception.

Plussat: Amazing breakfast, very helpful and friendly staff, great location, great amenities, fantastic room, great view.

Miinukset: Bed had a bit of a depression. The prices at the restaurant were quite expensive for the quality offered.

Plussat: Very large rooms, nice bathroom, friendly staff!

Plussat: Large bedrooms, spacious grounds and ample sun beds. The food was fantastic and the staff couldn’t do enough for you. There was a free shuttle service into Vilamoura whenever you were ready to go and also offered a free Tuk tuk ride around the town which was also nice

Miinukset: The drinks were exceptionally expensive however the staff were happy to provide you with glasses and ice if you took your own soft drinks to the pool.

Plussat: Beautiful views out to the golf course. Wonderful massage treatment in the spa. Valet parking.

Plussat: Wanting to come back...

Plussat: A very good modern resort golf hotel, friendly professional staff and truly excellent breakfast buffet

Plussat: Breakfast amazing, luxuriously comfy sun beds. Lovely views. Quiet

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Nothing special to like

Miinukset: location - approach hotel through a development which was half finished and an abandoned building site Hotel hosted a sales conference when we were there and one as we left and they wanted us gone Food and drink in the hotel expensive and food average

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

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: Pool area, staff and restaurant all great as usual.

Miinukset: Stayed here many times over the course of 5 years and this time didn’t feel the same, the hotel rooms needed a lot of TLC and for the money you pay staying here it should be kept on top of continuously I feel like.

Plussat: Loved the apartment we had, spacious and modern. Great outdoor and indoor pools although some bits needed a bit of tlc in places.

Miinukset: Some of the staff around the complex were not very welcoming, even a smile or a hello felt like too much trouble for them. Limited choice at the Resturant which didn’t open till 10am for breakfast. Had a bad ant problem in our kitchen and lounge which didn’t bother me too much but had a young baby who was wanting to crawl around which he couldn’t do. Ordering taxis from reception was a problem as they kept ordering a executive minibus when all we wanted was a normal taxi, obviously had a link up with this firm which was expensive. Location was ok if all you wanted was to stay in complex but didn’t think there was enough on site to do this. Hotel opposite which could be used was very expensive.

Plussat: Very clean and great facilities friendly staff

Miinukset: Be nice to have a supermarket close

Plussat: Great self catering option with 5 star facilities.

Plussat: Apartments quality and large areas! Great Facilities! Breakfast quality superb! Great place for kids to enjoy the pools area!

Miinukset: Breakfast to be taken on the Anantara hotel which needs you to leave the Residences hotel through the street (3min walk not much but an internal connection between the hotels would be great)! Anyhow this is a minor issue! Was a bit noisy at night but it wasn't hotel's fault, but a large group of guest on a wedding in the Anantara next door hotel…

Plussat: Spacious apartment, nice pool area, lovely food served daily from the snack bar ... staff very friendly !!

Miinukset: About 10 minutes outside the resort in a taxi

Plussat: There was nothing to dislike about this accommodation.

Miinukset: Beautiful and well equipped apartments.

Plussat: Gorgeous apartments with lots of space and excellent facilities. Our room overlooked the neighboring golf course, lovely views. We had access to the nearby Anantara hotel facilities, they were stunning. Free shuttle bus into Vilamoura which was handy. Overall a fantastic stay, we will return

Miinukset: Nothing we didn't like, just a few notes for fellow tourists - Our flight was delayed and we arrived late, reception was difficult to locate in the dark following Google maps. It's just off the roundabout FYI. There were no cleaning products in our apartment - dishwasher tablets or washing up liquid.

Plussat: Two room apartment was really nice. Not cheap, but you can tell it is good quality. Nearby pool and parking just under the apartments.

Miinukset: Washing drying line is really small

Plussat: Apartments spacious and clean also good location sister hotel facilities outstanding

Plussat: The personal was extremely friendly and helpful

Plussat: Everything from the enthusiastic welcome and tour by the housekeeper, to the superb breakfast- fresh figs, plums and grapes, smoked ham, freshly cooked eggs, lovely pastries and coffee with hot milk. The property is an historical treasure, but not gloomy. A fabulous hotel experience

Miinukset: The lower ground rooms smelt a little fusty

Plussat: Nice welcome, and very interesting property. Excellent breakfast semi outdoors in interesting setting.

Miinukset: Pool was a little down at heel, Spaces for breakfast limited and as we were not the first entailed a little wait.

Plussat: We loved the beautiful and unique building. We were only there 1 night so didn't have a chance to enjoy the pool or the patio on our room. Loved that their was an honour bar - great idea! Also had a game of billiards. We liked the setting in Estoi - close enough to Faro but in a pretty and quiet village. Cute little square right outside the hotel where we relaxed with a drink in the afternoon sun at the small local restaurant. We had to leave very early before breakfast was being served but they were kind enough to pack us a few things as a take - away.

Miinukset: When we first time on the air conditioning in our room, there was quite a musty unpleasant smell which seemed to eventually go away once it ran for awhile. That was the only thing that was a little off.

Plussat: Loved the warm welcome from Katarina and the lovely history of the building located in the heart of Estoi.

Plussat: Beautiful Building, breakfast was wonderful, a real slice of the real Portugal

Plussat: What I liked the most was the Inn Keeper, Catarina, welcoming, friendly and passionate about her job and property! The tour of the property felt like you were visiting a museum, rich in history and charm. Breakfast was delicious and Catarina will prepare cooked to order eggs to go with the lovely breakfast spread.

Miinukset: The location was more remote than I anticipated, the town is very, very small but it also had its charm. The mattress was a little firm for my taste.

Plussat: Very friendly hostess Catharina! Good breakfast,excellent shower, convenient to get there from the airport. All good!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Steeped in history. We got the back story about the house and the family of own it. We also got a tour of the house by the lovely Katrina, lovely lady. It was like a museum of sorts. Loved it.

Miinukset: I didn’t get to stay longer!

Plussat: After viewing we felt that this establishment was not for us. So we did not stay. Thank you

Plussat: Aamupala oli loistava ja hotellin emäntä todella ystävällinen ja palvelualtis.

Plussat: Location, hotel facilities and the breakfast.

Miinukset: Had an ant problem in the bathroom but this was sorted quickly by the staff.

Plussat: The hotel was lovely - welcoming upon arrival with a bright, airy reception area. The staff are, without exception, very friendly - nothing is too much trouble. There is a huge variety of food available for breakfast (and a lovely mix of juices) although we chose to have a cooked breakfast from the buffet each morning and were able to sit outside if we wanted to. There are three pools - the largest of which has a bar alongside which plays music. What is nice is that you don't have to be too far away from the music in order for it to not be heard i.e. it isn't thumping around the entire complex. We chose to sit around the "romantic" pool. which was nice and quiet with a lovely welcoming pool and comfortable beds. The grounds to the hotel are immaculate and are lovely to walk around even when the sun has gone down. Our room overlooked the pool. It had a really comfortable King size bed and a very decently sized bathroom with a bath and a shower. The people who attend the rooms do a cracking job. We spent a little time in the bar which has an extensive drinks menu and from which you can also order food which was lovely. Location-wise, the hotel is in a very quiet area. There is little if any traffic and the walk down to the marina takes about 30 minutes. It is a pleasant walk however, particularly if you use the park-like strip down the middle of the main road leading to the marina. Can recommend a stay at the Hilton Vilamoura.

Miinukset: The only thing I didn't like - and I'm really clutching at straws here - was the fact the hairdryer in the room could have done with a clean. You know the way the rubber surround can get sticky with use? Well mine could have done with a scrub. That said, my own one at home is much the same so there was no reason for complaint!

Plussat: The location & rooms

Miinukset: How we were treated my reception staff at check-in & throughout our stay.

Plussat: Good selection, good quality, friendly service

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Generally quite an up market hotel with a nice pool area

Miinukset: The room was noisy, it overlooked the toad and was above the kitchen , some of the staff were less than helpful and thus us a fairly expensive hotel. I would definitely expect a lot more

Plussat: The hotel was excellent it was of a high standard and in s great location.

Plussat: Loved breakfast, good choices and everything fresh.

Miinukset: We ate at Cilantro, food was very good but ambience is a bit jaded, would be a huge plus if Hilton would invest in a new look for the restaurant.

Plussat: The room was clean and staff was friendly

Miinukset: They took 47 € for god 2 kg , spa is not included in the room rate, so they took 40 Euro pour spa and 10 euro for 2 caps plastic for the pool

Miinukset: Used the spa and was told we not allowed to use lockers for our stuff as there for visitors only. Also cost us €50 jus to use the spa facilities, example steam room jacuzzis, didn’t include any treatments. Which I found bizarre paying to use the leisure after paying 1200 to stay there. So everytime we wanted to use steam room, or jacuzzi etc we had to pay €50 Spa was not what was advertised at all. Very disappointing. Also was over charged €600 and had to call to rectify this.

Plussat: Friendly staff and very comfortable bed

Plussat: Excellent position; right in the middle of everything. Next door to the bus station and 5 mins from the railway station and Old Town. Beautiful view over the harbour. Great rooftop pool area which is really well kept with a bar. Pool very large but not heated. Good breakfast including a pianist or band playing. Nice top floor bar with balconies looking over the town and harbour. Rooms clean ( but see below) with kettle and coffee etc Pay the extra for balcony overlooking harbour as it is worth it. A special mention for the breakfast pianist on Thursday morning. Fantastic.

Miinukset: I would like to see at least one of the rooftop balconies non smoking. The pool water was clean but the actual pool lining looked quite dirty. All Four sets of steps into the pool were moving and felt unsafe. There were packets of crisps ( one open!) left in one of the drawers in the bedroom by previous guest ( not good cleaning). There was a bit of a smell in corridors and room on last day ( sewage type smell) so we had to sleep with windows open ( and then got bitten by mosquitoes but that’s not the hotel’s fault) The big negative would be some of the staff. Very slow service ( or non at all) in the bar in the evening. The last night we ended up leaving. Plus some poor reception staff mainly mornings ( not all; one pm receptionist went to great trouble to alter the drinks in our fridge to ones we like which was great). Not especially welcoming when we arrived and no real help when we asked about places to visit. Eg We asked where to catch the bus to Loule and were told next door but she didn’t explain there were two coach stations and that we needed the Eva bus one not the local one. It would have been so helpful to have known that.

Plussat: Breakfast was awesome. View was great. Staff super friendly and helpful. Room was spotless

Miinukset: Bed was on the hard side. But it was fine for me

Plussat: We found the hotel good value for money and a fantastic location. The pool was really good.

Plussat: Efficient service and helpful staff. Good food and good facilities.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Really nice. Modern and bright. Nice staff. Good breakfast

Miinukset: Only one thing. Hairdryers in the room were the old fashioned wall mounted type and terrible for drying your hair. Take your own.

Plussat: Hyvällä paikalla, erinomainen näköala, todella herkullinen aamiainen.

Miinukset: Ei sovi hajusteallegisille.

Plussat: Great hotel only pool a bit outdated.

Plussat: Friendly & helpful staff, excellent location and fantastic views from the pool bar terrace and restaurant. Food from the buffet was also a notch above what we've had elsewhere.

Miinukset: Left too early for breakfast but we're not blaming the hotel for that!

Plussat: Quality of the common areas and restaurant, exceptional location for restaurant

Miinukset: Noisy, double glazing did nothing to reduce the noise from revellers that continues to 4am, bed cheap,hard and not comfortable

Plussat: Great breakfast selection in large airy room with duo singing and playing guitar. Staff very pleasant and helpful.

Plussat: Perfect in every way ! Piano player at breakfast! Brilliant staff ! Superb location ! Thanks

Plussat: Loved the location of the hotel, very central, amazing breakfast with fantastic views over the marina , we even had a pianist playing lovely tunes. Excellent location by rooftop pool for the sunset.if you are plane spotter you can watch every plane arriving into Faro.

Miinukset: The pool was very grubby around the sides and also had black patches in the bottom. Not inviting. Also very noisy with a spinning class in action.

Plussat: I really liked the building and layout. The location is central and the Brazilian staff are outgoing.

Miinukset: Sometimes the 2 bathrooms isnt quite enough.

Plussat: Good, ample food and well organised

Plussat: The Location was super. You also had the option of having a home cooked meal with the fellow travellers for a small price. The free breakfast was fairly nice as well.

Miinukset: There were only 2 bathrooms + 1 toilet that were functional through the property. The other shower areas were closed for maintenance. It wasn't too much of an inconvenience, but would've helped to know beforehand.

Plussat: Position and clean hostel.

Miinukset: No

Plussat: Everything

Plussat: Everything was ok, rooms and hostel is clean, location is perfect, staff very friendly, breakfast tasty. Hardly recommend!

Plussat: Great place, great location.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Perusaamiainen: Ei mitään vihreää, ei yugurttia

Plussat: The staff were amazing, Joanna, Beatriz and Orlando, just allll of them. Cleaned the rooms everyday and bathrooms. Free breakfast included is great. And the fact they make such an effort to put on evening meals different themed nights etc, is just great! A great feel this place and such a good location. Couldn't have asked for more. GREAT value for money! Thank you Casa d'Alagoa, Katie x

Plussat: Staff, clean, location

Miinukset: Everithing was good.

Plussat: Awesome Terrace. Good location, friendly staff :)

Miinukset: They offered a barbecue for 20 €, which was a fair price for meat-eaters, because drinks were included as well. But for me as a vegeterian it was just way to expensive and unfair to charge the same price!!!

Plussat: Location was reasonable, need a car or taxi to centre

Miinukset: Pool area not got sun all day in some areas Breakfast was good but not spectacular like some others we have stayed at in Vilamoura

Plussat: Nice size boutique hotel, very clean,?large room and comfy beds. Not far from Marina about 15 min walk, nice walks round about.

Miinukset: Background music around pool required. Snack menu quite expensive for a sandwich.

Plussat: The staff were very helpful, friendly and made our stay very enjoyable. They arranged bike hires for us.. the courtesy bus to the beach and Marina is free and runs every hour. The hotel was spotless. We had a late flight and got to keep our room until 5pm free of charge.. definitely recommend and will be back.

Plussat: Staff. Room was very large (big enough for a family) cleaned every day to the highest quality.

Miinukset: The pool area was not as big as it looks in the brochure, due to the trees and the building the sun went down very early in the day by the pool hence there is no real sun in the afternoon. The Breakfast was OK, due to the taking of orders for eggs and the waitresses not keeping track of who was ordering etc every morning was a bit mix up in many of the guests breakfast order (that i could see). Coffee in the machine at breakfast was undrinkable.

Plussat: Everything the staff were excellent from the moment of arrival. Food was really good also. Lovely big room overlooking the pool. Quiet resort which suited us.

Plussat: The hotel was lovely. We had a fantastic stay. We had a lovely room and they were very accommodating providing us with a cot for our 7 month old. The pool was also lovely, while a little small, it is perfect for the size of the hotel. There were always plenty of loungers available. The real highlight of the hotel is the staff, always friendly and helpful. They really help make the stay enjoyable.

Miinukset: There is very little I can pick at here. If I am being really critical, the menus are a little limited. Don't get me wrong, the food is very, very good. But the menu felt a little lacking in variety. The breakfast options didn't change for the week we were there and with a baby, we ate lunch there nearly every day and you quickly ran out of different options.

Miinukset: The pool area was rather small & didn't get the sun in certain areas for much of the day

Plussat: Clean room, nice atmosphere.

Miinukset: Waiting along time for food to be served.

Plussat: Lovely hotel and excellent front of house staff, (reception staff).

Miinukset: Or room was on the outer side of the hotel, overlooking the road and other houses

Miinukset: Could have had fresh milk as there was a fridge and a few biscuits

Plussat: Location to beaches and shops

Plussat: The best thing about the Dom Jose was the staff. We requested a room change and they couldn't have been more helpful to accommodate us. I would hesitation in recommending this fantastic hotel to all my friends and family. A resounding 5 stars from me.

Miinukset: There was really nothing we didn't like about the Dom Jose. The staff were great, location was perfect and the food lovely.

Plussat: Location and staff.

Miinukset: Breakfast and Lunch Buffet at Restaurant. Food was mediocre. A bigger parking would help too

Plussat: Aamiaisella erityisesti tomaatit olivat hyviä!

Miinukset: Kylppärissä valon säätö päälle käynnisti aina venttiilipropellin, joka hurisi turhan äänekkäästi (ei siinä vikaa ollut). Baarin sisustuksen peilit saivat aikaan kakofonisen tunnelman.

Plussat: We had a fantastic time. From the time we arrived at the hotel in Reception to the time we left couldn't fault anything. The cleanliness. The bar staff were so friendly as were the restaurant staff. We will be back... a credit to you all.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Cleanliness, location, atmosphere,(friendly staff) respectiful guests.

Miinukset: No free tea in room etc. Otherwise we were completely satisfied and had a great holiday.

Plussat: Friendly staff, great location, gorgeous food - we will be back.

Miinukset: There’s nothing I didn’t like - our stay was amazing.

Plussat: bacon small and smoky as usual had cheeses and meats some mornings enjoyed the fruits:--peaches, melon ,grapefruit

Miinukset: you are given a I.D> card and told to carry it with you. we noticed people coming in from outside to have a dance when entertainment on and not even buying a drink. The swimming pool says no towels left on the sun bed .every morning when we went down for breakfast there was some towels on beds. One evening a group of ~20 people dragged chairs together and were making so much noise that we could not hear the guitarist/singer, people were walking out ,even leaving their drink... where was the security??? we left when we fished our drinks.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: It was amazing. Very good location, in front of the so beautiful beach with a lot of facilities. The place is quite, clean and I felt very welcome there. Delicious breakfast also

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: good selection of food and location

Miinukset: service in the bar serving drinks and snacks could be better.

Plussat: Great location. 10 metres from the beach in the middle of the town. Close to loads of restaurants. Easy walk to Villamoura. No large English and Irish themed bars in Quateria so very quiet at night. Portuguese people can be found in Quateria because it is not designed for mass tourism unlike Villamoura!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: It was fine

Plussat: This was our 6th stay at Dom Pedro Marina - Always a joy to stay there. The staff always remember us and are super friendly. We finally got a pool view after asking every year and made a lovely change from the 'carpark view' we usually get lumbered with - so thank you for that :) New sun loungers which were great as you get a shade with them which made laying in the sun that more bearable. Never a struggle to find a bed. We loved it.

Miinukset: Breakfast - not the best, I feel this goes more down hill each time. It's fine, but could do with a bit of improvement. Drinks / Food from the bar, little expensive. Otherwise, can't fault much else.

Plussat: Breakfast was the same everyday which was very boring

Miinukset: Drinks at the bar are very pricey €15 for a double gin and tonic!

Miinukset: pool was a little on the small side

Plussat: location spot on, breakfast great value, quite location and yet only 2 minutes to the Marina

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Location. Second visit. New patio area is very nice round the pool area. Nice to see a bit of the beautiful garden has been left. Lovely new sunloungers. Very comfortable room, lovely view over the pool.

Miinukset: Didn't like the nespresso machine in our room. Would prefer a kettle.

Plussat: Excellent buffet breakfast. Great location for the marina and its shops restaurants and bars. Good buffet dinner. Excellent staff.

Miinukset: Large parties of male golfers were occasionally noisy.

Plussat: The bed was really big and the room size was really nice too. Easy to use AC. Good location, close to both the marina and the beach.

Miinukset: The bed was not particularly comfortable. One of the windows had no net curtain so I could be seen by guests in the pool. The breakfast was average at best - the eggs looked disgusting and wet/slimy. The paintwork, etc. in the room was outdated, as was the general feel and decor of the room.

Plussat: Very Nice and Very Clean Hotel with Exellent Location located nearby Villamoura Beach and Villamoura Marina. Very Nice View from the Balcony. The room had large size and was very clean. During the breakfast time all the food in a wide range were Exellent. We did spent few days in this Nice Hotel with a Great Pleasure ! My positive recommendations to all types of Travellers.

Plussat: Very friendly staff! Clean rooms and excellent breakfast.

Miinukset: There are a lot of drunken golf player during the evening in the lobby, it can be really unpleasant.

Plussat: lovely comfortable beds with crisp bedding good roof top area well stocked bar pleasant staff ae

Miinukset: breakfast fresh coffee would be better instead of press button machine and eggs with soft yokes would have been nice instead of cold solid fried ones

Plussat: Erinomainen sijainti ja hyvin toimiva wifi.

Miinukset: Ylätasanteen altaalle ja Faro beachille piti pyytää respasta pyyhkeet. Se muuten ok käytäntö, mutta hotellista lähtiessämme meille sanottiin, ettemme olleet niitä palauttaneet - vaikka olimme palauttaneet ne heti rannalta saavuttuamme.

Plussat: Excellent breakfast!

Miinukset: Please take into consideration that the pool is not a pool, it’s merely o generous bathtub. And don’t forget parking is 12 eur per day...the receptionist was very eager to point us towards the hotel’s garage, but neglected to remind us the cost of it.

Plussat: The reception staff were courteous. Leonardo Jesus and the team in the Restaurant were very courteous and professional. The room was neat and comfortable. The bathroom was clean. The service provided was excellent. The breakfast buffet was good. The food was excellent and the barman was very kind in suggesting delicious mocktails for the evening.

Miinukset: There was no place to keep the toiletries in the bathroom. Also no luggage rack to place the suitcase to unload the clothes and also the cupboard space was no enough to hang the clothes. The lunch and dinner menu is very limited especially for those staying for longer than two days.

Plussat: Perfect place to stay in for an nice weekend in Faro. Nice friendly staff and en werry good restaurang on the rop off the hotel.

Miinukset: Nothing to complain about. We have been there before.

Plussat: Loved the location - within walking distance of the train & bus station. Easy walk to the Old Town & an easy walk to do boat tour. Restaurants, etc, all close by. Air conditioned room, lots of room for 2 tall adults to move around & an English speaking tv station! Buffet Breakfasts were delicious! Staff, very friendly. Free Shuttle bus & beach towels to Faro Beach, return was short drive. We enjoyed our afternoon of drinks, tapas, Swim & sun bake on our afternoon trip

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Breakfast Buffet on the terrace was extremely beautiful. room and view of the hotel couldn't be better.

Miinukset: there is nothing to report.

Miinukset: Pool is more of a tub :-)

Plussat: Superb roof top restaurant. Lovely view. Great location. Quiet rooms.

Miinukset: Milk provided in room fridge.

Plussat: exceptional breakfast buffet. great location. nice rooftop bar and terrace.

Miinukset: on the flight path to the airport. Aircraft at about 1000 feet. Noisy at times but no night flights. Wouldn't stop me from recommending the hotel because the location is perfect otherwise.

Plussat: Great location Rooftop bar brilliant Breakfast was wonderful Staff fantastic

Miinukset: Air con slightly loud

Plussat: Good position. Very good breakfast. Nice room.

Plussat: Location is very convenient Breakfast is good Plenty of sun loungers by the poolside

Miinukset: Overpriced for the room and facilities Bar service day or night was slow even when quiet Terrace bar food is basic and overpriced Gym facilities are very poor-3 threadmills and 1 bench with a couple of bumbbells! No atmosphere in the hotel inside lounge areas

Plussat: Aamiainen oli monipuolinen ja kauniisti esillä ja tuotteet tuoreita. Tervetulojuoma oli miellyttävä yllätys. Huoneessa oli kahviautomaatti josta sai myös kuuman veden. Ja mukavaa oli myös huoneeseen jätetyt hedelmät. Piha alue on hieno nurmikenttineen, tennis ja leikkikenttineen.

Miinukset: Hotellissa on sisä uima-allas ja sauna mikä on tosi mukavaa, mutta se ettei lapset saa näitä käyttää on iso miinus. Huoneiden äänieristys olematon.

Plussat: The staff were very courteous but not to in your face. The location is amazing short stroll to marina but has a few bars, restaurants and a spar straight across the road. Also the bed was extremely comfortable

Miinukset: Receptionist

Plussat: Lovely pool and gardens, good location, great staff and breakfast was good

Miinukset: The rooms need a revamp - a bit tired

Plussat: The pool is massive, great chill out areas

Miinukset: Fantastic hotel, great breakfast. Stunning location, fabulous beds. All round amazing!!

Plussat: Great location great staff I think a noise from a nearby building site or air conditioning from another hotel but this was not the fault of the excellent Dom Pedro would stay again

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The BED AND PILLOWS. The quiet peaceful nights sleep. Great staff, always happy to help. The breakfast. Room facilities. Basically EVERYTHING!

Miinukset: Having to leave and go home ☺

Plussat: Erinomainen

Plussat: Great location near the beach and Vilamoura marina.

Miinukset: Poor air conditioning system in the room. Extra fee for gym usage.

Plussat: Super comfy and big bed, pool, not too crowded, good breakfast, parking, awesome villas.

Miinukset: The resort was slightly run down and the staff a little careless but overall very good and beautiful resort.

Plussat: the hotel was excellent with the room being exceptional, the room was clean and well decorated, the pool area was very pleasant and the amenities provided were good.

Miinukset: the service from the restaurant staff was poor with only the manager being able to respond to any requests, there seemed to be a shortage of numbers both within the restaurant and the bars

Plussat: I didn’t like anything about the entire stay!! This hotel is a million miles away from a 5 star hotel and all the guests I spoke to regarding this agreed.

Miinukset: Everything from the food to being miss sold a family room that only slept 2 people max to the fact that I was in a shack in the garden which is a 2 star accommodation at best. Then being charged €21 for a brandy that is €7 everywhere else on the complex and €4.50 for a can of bloody Pepsi. Absolute puss takers!! Disgusting attitude from the staff but mainly the managers who are the most condescending people in the world. I will be taking action to get a refund.

Plussat: The whole experience of a nice hotel in Vilamoura.It was nice to have the golf course swimming pool or within a short stroll. Also having an inside and outside bar with light meals being served all day long.The Buffett breakfast was also very enjoyable sitting by the pond with the Swans and ducks swimming around.

Miinukset: Some staff where very rude.

Plussat: The hearty breakfast choices and gorgeous pool area

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

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: Loistava aamiainen, golfkenttä lähellä ja varaus sujui hotellilta

Miinukset: Kokolattiamatosta, huoneessa oli poltettu, sisäuima-allas oli vaatimaton

Plussat: Not being able to accommodate guests.

Plussat: Everything was good and nice Just all holiday I was complaining about air conditioning ( doesn’t work properly and very noisy) Excellent food

Miinukset: A/c

Plussat: Great facilities. Nice big swimming pool and nice setting. Eating on the terrace was very nice in the evening.

Miinukset: You need some means of transport if you want to visit the town or local area as it is a long way to walk from the hotel. We hired bicycles for a couple of days which made a big difference.

Plussat: The pool, the gardens

Miinukset: Staff with no experience, didn’t care about guests, did not make an effort to help Doesn’t felt like an 5*
