Fantastic setting overlooking the 16th hole.
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.
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.
The Staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. They were extremely helpful in booking dinners and transportation for our group of 8. They were always very polite and available.
The breakfast was also excellent. Great variety and the cappuccino machine was the best!
The pool was clean and refreshing.
The beach and restaurants were a shuttle ride away, provided by the hotel.
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.
We liked everything about the hotel. It’s gorgeous. Wendy was magnificent in helping us. Sally, the owner of this wonderful place, is there to greet everyone. She runs a tight ship perfectly. Lovely hounds, beautiful hotel in a fabulous neighborhood, wonderfully decorated room, wonderful breakfast.
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.
Access to vale do Lobo facilities including the well beach club were amazing. The use of the shuttle was also great. The location of the apartment was also great and they did have good menities in the apartment Inc washing machine and dishwasher.
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.
We liked everything about this beautiful boutique hotel. Comfy bed and pillows, impeccably clean, nice terrace, great breakfast, dog friendly, ample free parking, gardens, grounds, pool and Sally, the manager is simply the best !!!
Hotel is in a perfect location, fairly quiet which is nice, but also a short walk to the beach restaurants and bars further down the beach. Staff are super friendly and very helpful. Cocktails from the lobby bar are fabulous
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.
Love the where the hotel is so close to the beach with available sun beds .Lovely pool it suits us perfectly.Good it’s close to the Praca with its restaurants and music .
Great pool and kids club
