Only five minutes by taxi from airport- just five euros. Lovely spacious room. Very clean with really comfortable bed.
Staff friendly and helpful with my queries.
Excellent breakfast included in price - selection of fruit, croissants, bread etc together with hot choices.
Enjoyed the evening meal in adjoining restaurant which was very reasonably priced.
not much to say as it was disappointing
5 star hotels do not do buffet breakfast. they have waiter service. They entrance to the restaurant and pool was down a dark and sparce 2 flights of stairs....no very well planed at all.The facility is 3 stars at best.

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.
Brilliant location overlooking the sea and the 16th hole. Vale do Lobo had very few restaurants open ( Feb Half Term) and those that were were expensive. I’d say a car is a must as the nearest supermarket is too far to walk with a weeks groceries if it’s hot. But the Villa itself was lovely and spacious. The outside was in need of some new cushions for the loungers as they were all torn and not very clean. The weather was usually warm 22C so we expected the pool to have been cleaned and ready on arrival which it wasn’t.
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 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.
hotel is a classic 5 star hotel in a good location rooms are good size with a balcony and full amenities and clean.There are numbers of bars and restaurant which are fine .
The location and amenities are perfect. The shuttle bus than brings you around the resort is very quick and easy. The pools, restaurants and everything around are great
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.
