I originally booked the rooftop terrace, but I am 92, and my wife is 85. I should have been told of stairs !, but a change was made. We booked car from airport. 38 Euros (though you). For return journey through hotel, they asked taxi or Exec car, we chose taxi, the car was small, not an exec, but we were charged 106 Euros !

Cleanliness and the staff'' terrific. Breakfast the best. Adega.. bad dark and dingy, unwlcoming 50 min wait for first simple food. Giardino, bad.food sent back, cold. Bela Vita, very good, Whale, very good.. Japanese excellent, Atlantico, superb.

This is by far the most beautiful, relaxing and hospitable resort we have ever stayed at. Every bit of food and drink we ordered was a 10/10 in artful presentation and delicious taste. We loved all of the pools, the dreamy beach and beautiful grounds. The staff was absolutely lovely - we especially want to thank Osvaldo for the incredible hospitality, kindness, and pool side service. This was our honeymoon and the staff went above and beyond with a welcome surprise in our room when we arrived - rose petals on the bed, champagne and a tart. WHAT a dream of a place!

The gym is way too small, indoor pool and jacuzzi too old fashioned and not enough lounge chairs and sitting area, the spa with sauna and steam room is not 5*, please check a true spa experience in Switzerland, Austria or South Tyrol mountain resort. It is very difficult to book a restaurant seating and spa treatment. You practically have to book before your arrival to secure a spot.

Breakfast is great, restaurants are outstanding, staff super helpful and nice, garden is a masterpiece

We ate at 6 restaurants and the food was excellent. Only one entree was ok/poor (ravioli at Italian restaurant). Great location with fabulous views and small private beach. The restaurant at the Beach Club, subcontracted, was just ok. Staff was excellent and always helpful.

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,...)

Nothing to say

Everything from the attention to small details and top tier hospitality at the finest

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.

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.
