The resort itself is impressive and golf courses are stunning. The pool area by the beach has great facilities and restaurants. The food at main reception restaurant is exceptional unfortunately the process of ordering is slow. As for the apartments, if I’d have understood the complex I would have booked a two bedroomed property or apartment. As it happened we had two separate apartments opposite each other. They were wasteful in space for two people I thought, but the main downfall was the condition, it was dated, the back sliding doors were held together with, what I can only describe as a, child kitchen cupboard safety clip. Which kept falling off. Meaning security was practically nil and void. The bathroom was so dated, grout, silicone, basins all facilities were in bad shape. The whole apartment needed a revamp. When you see the wealth of the surrounding private properties, they’re a bit of a let down, especially knowing we paid a a decent amount of money, they’re unfortunately not worth the price. I would return but not to these rooms.

Great Luxury Resort. We loved free Shuttle Service around the property. Food and drink were good but the price was on the expense side. My son played golf at the resort and he said it was an amazing golf course. Villa was wonderful with a lot all amenities needed including a washing machine. Overall we had a great stay.

It was great

Great stay at the Vale de Lobo resort - staff could not have been more helpful. A few hiccups with dated air con and a safe which didn’t lock but they sent out maintenance quickly both days. Excellent resort - pool great. Could do with upgraded sun loungers and updated air con but all in all, an excellent stay. Shuttle around the resort very convenient and all staff at the restaurants very kind and friendly. The Praca area was a safe area for kids and the resort itself is immaculate.

I really enjoyed my stay. The staff were warm and helpful. The room was a little dated however the facility was amazing. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Wonderful holiday in the 2 bedroom apartment with private pool. Shuttle bus service was exceptional. Resort facilities were excellent and staff very helpful.

It was brilliant being in such a large complex and having constant availability to the shuttle buses. They made it so easy to get around and even the drivers opening the door for you was amazing.

Clean apartment, great facilities on site. Its a good base to visit. Unfortunately the spa heated pool is undergoing renovation so you either have to use the unheated pool by the beach, or pay 12 euros each per day to use the heated outdoor pool at the tennis club.

without doubt the best place in Portugal to stay

Beautiful property in a wonderful location

This is my 2nd stay at this resort. This was again a lovely enjoyable holiday. A special mention to the reception staff from check in to check out were all so friendly and helpful. Plus the free mini bus shuttle service was so reliable and convenient. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay. We will be back.

The reception staff were amazing - they were so attentive and caring. The facilities at the accommodation were perfect . The shuttle bus was a brilliant facility and we loved the beach club. Fantastic spot with great restaurants- close to airport and Quinta de Lago. We will be back!!

The resort was lovely. We booked last minute and had a nice one bedroom with a patio. They had bread, butter and jam ready. The staff was extremely helpful and I felt like was at another World Class Resort. My only comment is our room seemed dated and use an upgrade or be refurbished. However, it was a great resort and I would highly recommend staying there next time you are in Faro area.

Cleam room and nice property

Brilliant stay best of both worlds gorgeous villa but close to restaurants shops and even a free shuttle around the whole resort! Loved it and will definitely be coming back!

The property was great, a lovely villa. This was our 2nd visit, the only things that weren't as good this time - in particular was the shuttle bus around the resort. In the summer it is an excellent service, at Easter they only had 1 car so the wait for the service, instead of being 5 mins was more like 20-30 mins. This was poor and they should have had more drivers, I wouldn't go again at Easter they are not staffed for it. Additionally I had booked a restaurant reservation at Spikes, I had multiple confirmations but when we got there they didn't have our booking! Luckily the staff are great and Valentina recognised us from last year and looked after us so we had a great time, just small details that could have been better. Overall the villa was gorgeous and we had a lovely time.

Very pretty condo very equipped just need more comfortable beds. Will go again

Spacious, clean, well equipped and top condition. Our apartment (essentially part of a large villa) was perfect for a week away with a 5 month old. We thought we had to much room but it made the trip so much easier to spread out and not be confined to a hotel room or suite. The finish of the villa was fantastic, kitchen and appliances made it a smooth trip with baby. Plus a private patio and pool was perfect for relaxing there - the resort was walkable (20 mins on average to restaurants and beaches) which was perfect for us as we like to explore by foot and not drive. Use of the facilities was always seamless and guest card discounts were handy. However, when we did use the shuttle it was easy and prompt. Would recommend and will stay again next year!

This is a townhouse in a beautiful resort with lots of amenities including golf, tennis, restaurants, etc. the house is in a good shape and fully equipped. The biggest issue was that the basement (where 2 out 3 beds are located) is very mouldy and you can see walls are pealing. That caused us some health problems. For this reason I would not recommend this property.

The original booked property was miss advertised. No pool next to it. Had to rent another property as the original ones bedroom was a few meters from a through road and right next to a noisy speed bump. The traffic noise was too loud to sleep .
