Vale do Lobo Resort

Vale do Lobo

10/10 Excellent

Amazing resort with even better staff, made me and my wife feel extremely well looked after. Receptionist able to deal with any requests and always with a smile no problem to big or small for the VDL staff. The resort it's self is beautiful with only a short walk to the beach where an abundance of fabulous restaurants and the resorts pool facilities. Evening time was even better with live music playing every night and wonderful food. The internal resort shuttle one of the best ways to get around...

Dona Filipa Hotel

10/10 Excellent

Chose this hotel as it was close to the beach and nature reserves. Beach was closed for maintenance but we were able to skirt round and walk for miles! Reserve nearby was full of birds, including a pair of Hoopoes, which made my holiday. Hotel staff are attentive and rooms comfortable and clean. We stayed in the older part of the hotel but found the room perfectly acceptable, with a nice view from the balcony. Food was very high standard, not the cheapest but well worth the price in my opinion.

Hotel was lovely and clean, breakfast was delicious (including: pancakes, fruit, full English, breads, pastries, hot drinks and juices). Hotel was practically on the beach. The loungers on the beach weren’t free which was a little disappointing considering the price. The beach was beautiful, nice sand and a little rocky in parts. Locals were lovely, much quieter than Vilamoura as the area was more a native Portuguese holiday area. Amazing holiday- would return!!!

Could not really fault this hotel at all, and i am very hard to please. Arrived at Eleven in the morning, and was checked in straight away. The room and balcony were large, well maintained and very clean. We had only booked bed and breakfast, and breakfast was freshly cooked to our liking. The staff were fabulous in all departments, very friendly, helpful and polite. A special mention to Marco on reception, who was super efficent and went over and beyond in every way to help. Would stay here...

From the moment we landed, the Portugese people provided us with 5 star service. The hotel met our expectations, but based on comments previously read, the Breakfast far exceeded our expectations. Bountiful bread, bacon and bubbles, layered with friendly conscientious staff and topped with sparkling cleanliness, what more could you ask for? The pool side bar and facilities again spotless (never seen such swanky poolside loos!) and very relaxing. A little background music but not enough to...

The hotel was comfortable, clean and bright. It's main 'attraction' for me was not the waterpark, (which is included in the price and is excellent), but it's staff. They rescued us by sending my daughter's mobile phone in a taxi, to the airport when we realised two hours before departure that she had unfortunately left it in the room! Food at the hotel was reasonable and there were local restaurants a short stroll away from the hotel. Two drawbacks are that there is no free wifi in the rooms...
