We have just returned from a weeks stay in Monte da Quinta, Algarve, Portugal. Words cannot describe the beauty of this place! I went with my parents and sister, and we stayed in Villa 87. First of All the staff-including all the reception, cleaners, and workers in pubs and shops in Quinta Shopping, were all magnificint. They were caring, polite,... more

We stayed at this hotel for 5 days in Mid October and have to say that it was a gem and completely exceeded my expectations. We had a one bed room apartment ( room 205) which had a fantastic view over the the dunes and the sea. The hotel is spotlessly clean and attention to detail and their customers is... more

Had another fantastic week at the Vale Do Lobo, have been several times over the last few years and yes there has been alot of building work but alot is now finished. We went in september this time (usually go May/June) but what we have noticed over the last couple of years is even out of season has become quite... more

Husband & I stayed at Vilar do Golf for a week and had a very enjoyable holiday. It was a little remote in terms of going out in the evenings for dinner and getting to the beach but luckily we had hired a car for the week. I think it's best to hire a car to explore the area. Trips... more

I have been travelling to the Algarve for 10 years and have eaten in nearly all of the 'recommended' restaurants. Dos Passos has been consistently good over the years until now! We ate there on the 3rd October (friday). The weather was fantastic, perfect for a Dos Passos afternoon lunch. We arrived at the beach at 2 pm and I... more

So with a six month old baby was looking for a villa. Had a great experience previously in a villa in Portugal before (at Lagos) called "Casa de Bico" however it was burgled on the last night and was very remote so didnt end well. So did some research and decided to book a more secure villa and so after... more

I couldn't agree more with the last review, it say's it all. This restaurant served me with one of the best meals and dining experiences i have ever had. The staff are charming, everyone of them. We ate there 5 times out of the seven days we spent in Vilamoura. Highly recommended. more

We stayed at Villar do Golf recently and had a fantastic holiday. The area is very luxurious and geared towards wealthy golfers, therefore public transport to the resort is limited and car hire may be necessary. Taxi is also another option, but it's worth finding a taxi company yourself as the resort are in cahoots with a local firm who's... more

i stayed at the laguna mar suites in september, i was a little disapointed with the resort, the kitchen was just adequate no oven dish washer.the resort was out in the middle of nowhere. taxis where very expensive, good job they had a free mini bus on site but this was very limited as only 8 seater, the resturant served... more

A group of golfers stayed at this hotel for one night to gain access to the San Lorenzo golf course and could not have been happier. Yes the rooms are old fashioned, but they were large and the beds were comfortable. Very good breakfast and free transfers to the Golf Course. We all thought the course was great and food... more

Have just returned from a one week stay at Four Seasons Fairways. It has got to be the most appalling resort I have ever experienced. I swapped a week's time share in my usual resort and have to stay that I was more than disappointed with everything. When we arrived the cleaners had shampooed the carpets in all the bedrooms... more

We have just returned from a lovely break in the Ria Park Hotel. It is set in a relaxing, tranquil setting between vale Do Lobo and Quinta De Lago, and is ideal for a quiet break. I agree with other reviewers that it lacks a bit in ambience - it was quiet in the bar and breakfast areas, but the... more

The Formosa park hotel is a great place to stay, sign posting getting there is quite bad but once your there it's easy to get around. the staff were very friendly throughout the hotel and the rooms are spacious and very well equiped. Our only dislike was the bed, very uncomfortable to the point it hurts! other than that though... more

This is the first time that we have visited the Algarve and this year wished to take my inlaws for possibly their last holiday abroad due to their age and health problems.... We decided to stay in a villa, which sleeps 8 although only 4 of us went. the Os Arcos Villa(Organised through Thomsons)is just outside Vilamoura which had its... more

My husband and I have just returned from this hotel and we had a lovely holiday. The hotel staff could not do enough for us and the service was superb. Rooms were very spacious and very clean and although the bathrooms could do with updating we found the dark furniture in keeping with the hotel style. The beds were comfortable... more

We had a ten day holiday in a 5 bedroom villa at Monte da Quinta. The villa was situated at the end of a mews with a parking space underneath. The villa was extremely spacious downstairs, with a sweeping staircase and two sitting areas. The kitchen was large and kitted-out extremely well. Upstairs was a bit disappointing with only two... more

Our friends who live in Portugal recommended us to stay here - they regularly eat there and love the place. We normally stay in 5* (expensive) hotels and this was intended to be a last-minute getaway so we didn't expect too much. How wrong we were! We had the best break we've had in ages! The hotel is situated in... more

Great resort, beautiful villa, wonderful for kids, incredibly clean and well maintained. Service round pool and pool bar poor, reception staff poor - need for improvement here. Quinta da Lago is not the place to go if you want real Portugal - no 'local' restaurants in walking distance and the place didn't feel the least bit Portugese. Also resort claims... more

Stayed at Lagunamar in Sept 08. This is place is situated in a really quite area, very exclusive. I would strongly advise car rental as there is NO shops, restaurants within 30 min walk. Even the beach is 20-30 min walk away. Also found the area ver expensive but very good quality. Recommend Julias Bar good food. Team marina at... more
