Hilton Vilamoura As Cascatas Golf Resort & Spa

Good selection, good quality, friendly service

N/A

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.

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!

Location, hotel facilities and the breakfast.

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