A little hilly and quite a few stairs to get around the property.

Absolutely gorgeous grounds and location. Attentive and friendly staff. Lots of places to eat including two Michelin rated restaurants. Felt like a VIP from the moment we arrived!

Better way to organize activities and restaurant reservations. Maybe on the iPad it can keep track of things booked with reminders sent

Friendly and helpful staff along with the breathtaking views and grounds.

There wasn't any... The restaurant on the public beach reccomend by the hotel was not really great.

The only issue we had was the seaweed which has nothing to do with the resort itself. They did a lot in fact to keep the beach clean, raking the seaweed.

I'm not sure where any of the negative reviews came from, but if you're looking for a place to stay in the Algarve, Vila Vita Parc is where it's at. A few reasons in my opinion: 1) It's a family-friendly resort, but not overwhelmingly family-filled. There are sections of the resort that are geared towards kids but also areas embedded within the resort for adults only. You could easily go without kids and feel like you're able to enjoy yourselves in peace. We took our 10 month old and found not to be bothering those without kids, while if we had chose, we could have hired a staff babysitter and have alone, adult time at the resort 2) They went above and beyond in situations, where you feel the five star treatment. I inquired early requesting a crib and when I went into the room for the first time, there was a changing table, a baby bath tub, a bottle warmer and a gift bag with sand toys for my son, all in addition to the crib. I thought that was a special touch and something I didn't see throughout the rest of my travels in Portugal. We also had a large room to accommodate all of these extras, which was helpful in not making it feel cramped 3) The restaurants were great, considering we couldn't go to many of them with our son (there were age restrictions, per my note above regarding adults only sections). I didn't go to Ocean, but I heard it was quite filling and a 3 hour experience. The breakfast was by far the best breakfast I've had, well worth whatever the cost was. You could enjoy the buffet or order from the a la carte menu, which was phenomenal. 4) The staff - truly everyone on staff was extremely well-trained and very professional. It felt like we were staying at The Ritz or Four Seasons. I was very impressed with the overall guest service all throughout our stay. Everyone loved our son and was super friendly with him, even if he was messy at dinner!

bed pillow and comforter were not as good as we expected at a high end resort like Vila Vita Parc

The prices of the restaurants were fairly high probably motivated by being located in a 5 star hotel. It did not always meet the standard of the prices. If you arrive late at the beach club (accessible by the hotel shuttle) it is harder to get a spot as the available spaces for hotel guests are limited. Our room was far from most of the main buildings and we needed to call for a buggy most of the time (we had a small child with us).

The site is exceptional. The vegetation is beautiful and the facilities are very nice. There is a large choice of restaurants and the breakfast had a lot of options. The beach accessible from the resort is beautiful and the one accessible with the shuttle is very nice for families with a nice sandy beach and great choices of restaurants. The free mini golf is also a nice features for families. The complex has a lot options for sports (Padel, Pickle ball, Golf simulator, tennis, football,...)

Better signage for the House bar, Aladdin, Atlantico, and Manzar bar to help guests find them easier. Beach could also be cleaned up a bit to reduce the amount of algae.

Overall, very nice, welcoming and excellent hotel and service.

Nothing, everything was perfect!

Paradise on earth, clean, wonderful staff always ready to help, attention to details, professional on all levels from check in to sports activities. Restaurants are on another level from breakfast to fine dining. Special thanks to the GM Mr Jose Vila Nova and to Badr for making our stay exceptional

The only issue I had was the need to pay extra for excercise classes and tennis rackets, etc - considering the cost, if these were included it would be wonderful.

Everything! This place is a mini paradise.

We wished the pools, spa, gym, and Cafe Bica (the coffee/ice cream shop) had extended opening hours. It would be nice to grab a fancy coffee and pastry at Cafe Bica as early as 6 or 7 am when breakfast does not open until 7:30. We had an early kayak outing and needed to leave by 7:00 and Cafe Bica did not open until 10 and they closed at 6pm. Although, I am sure if we asked we could have arranged for pastries early as the staff try to accommodate any request. Also, it would have been nice if the spa and pool and gym were open until late, maybe 10 pm which would have worked well with our schedule since we had traveled across time zones. Overall we loved the facilities and wished we could have spent more time using them!

Beautiful property! We stayed in the apartment adjacent to the property which was really more like a townhome with two levels and private entry. It was very spacious with a wonderful rooftop patio with two day beds. We finally made it to the health club on the last day of our trip and wish we would have made it there sooner. The indoor pool has a swim through to an outdoor pool with a patio and lounge chairs that were not very busy. The sauna, steam room, cold plunge and freezer room were great! All in all, great service all around, wonderful amenities and a fantastic property!

Absolutely nothing we didn't like. We hope to be back soon.

The hotel went out of its way to create an extremely memorable experience for me and my mom who celebrated her 70th birthday there. So much attention to any detail was given, no wish that couldn't be met, always with a smile from the very competent and helpful staff. Room is spacious and exceptionnally clean, fresh water, fruits and chocolates every day, breakfast quality and choice is amazing, and all the property's restaurants are delicious, with a special note for the 2 Michelin starred Ocean.

The restaurants were many and the food good but the wine lists were incredibly expensive. Bottle of Chianti 68 Euro in the Italian restaurant.

Stunning setting beautiful garden and sea views. The staff were beyond helpful. The room was spacious and light beautifully decorated in pale cream and blue. The Beds and linen are gorgeous. Didn't want to leave after our 3 night stay.

We had a room near the clubhouse and with the doors or windows open all you could hear was the hum of the generator. The kids room on the pool side you could hear cheeping birds which was lovely. Considering the price it’s pretty bad you can hear machinery. If you keep the doors closed and have air con on obviously it’s totally fine. The lunch options were very adult led and not much to choose from. I don’t know why they don’t have a pool side menu of simple food: the sort of thing you would get in a beach cafe.

The room was lovely. The pool was really warm and easy to get sun loungers.
