The property is tastefully done and maintained impeccably. Our apartment was generous in size, squeaky clean with laundry and a large well equipped kitchen. There were 2 generous balconies and a terrace as well. It is also right on the beach!

Lovely accommodation at the heart of the golfing resort but also provides the ability to go beyond the golfing world and visit the rest of this beautiful country. Very well appointed kitchen, great showers and very nice bedrooms.

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.

A great location with easy access to the beach and the golf courses; a really pleasant and clean rooms, but the thing that made this such a good place to stay is the staff - they went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. Thank you. It’s highly recommended.
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 service, staff where very accomodsting. Our taxi from the airport took us to the wrong hotel. It is confusing as there is another building with a very similar name. We called the hotel who got a car to collect us straight away. The hotel is not far from the hotel but the hotel provides transport to and from the beach, and also provide sunbeds at the hotel along with towels. Great views from our room and lots of facilities, swimming pool, gym and spa. Good location too
A beautiful resort, immaculate in every single aspect - the grounds and general environment were fabulously looked after, and the property we stayed in was flawless and luxurious. The staff were wonderful too, from the receptionists, restaurant staff and the wonderful spa masseur. The restaurant food was of a very high standard. We'll be back - it was hard to find any faults whatsoever and the resort rankings are well deserved. In short, we loved it.
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 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.
Beautiful house, very large and super comfortable for 4 adults. The resort is beautiful, perfectly manicured, beach nearby (20 min. walk from the house, or a few minutes by car). Convenient and very high quality grocery store only 5 minutes drive away.
Access to vale do Lobo facilities including the well beach club were amazing. The use of the shuttle was also great. The location of the apartment was also great and they did have good menities in the apartment Inc washing machine and dishwasher.
The breakfast was exceptional, one of the best hotel breakfasts I've had. Lovely pool area, great location close to the beach. The rooms are relatively simple but very comfortable and spacious.
It is a lovely, cozy hotel with a great atmosphere and friendly owner. We stayed there in winter and enjoyed the fireplace in the hall every evening. All staff is super friendly and nice.

Tennis courts and racquet rental
