We were originally booked in next door to the Clube Praia de Vau (3*) but when we arrived we were upgraded to the Vau. The apartment was quite spacious for just 2 of us but I do agree with a lot of the other comments. The staff were dour, it was quite noisy (mainly the furniture on the floors from... more

We were disappointed in this hotel. We knew the location and prefer its quieter beach to that of Praia da Rocha which is really Blackpool with sunshine. The walk to Praia da Rocah takes 20 minutes along a lovely clifftop promenade. The hotel was functional and clean with the smallest pool I have ever seen and hardly enough room to... more

I would have to say this hotel is more a 3 star than a 4 star. Yes the rooms are modern and clean. (not quite so impressed with the cleaners though), however the food left a lot to be desired. Breakfast was really really basic, and unless you fancied a walk in the mornings there really was no other alternative.... more

This was the first trip away for us as a family (my wife and our 2 kids, aged 2.5 and 6 months). Our requirements were for a destination that was no more then 2.5 hrs flight away from london, less than 60 mins transfer time from airport, near a beach, good for kids, clean and provided good food. We booked... more

Functional and close to the beach. The dishwasher was a good surprise. There was some noise though. more

Myself and my boyfriend stayed here for a week at the end of May '07. We had booked through budget travel and were definitely happy we picked this hotel over the other accomodation they offered. Its about a 20 minute walk to praia da rocha, you can walk along the coast road or take the main road (coast road is... more

We stayed for two nights at the Hotel, in May 2007. We booked a one bedroom suite and overall our experience was fantastic. The one bedroom suite is fabulous and great for the money. Its only a couple of five minutes' walk to the sea front, there is a local supermarket directly which is great. The staff were always helpful.... more

Went to Vau in June of 2005 for a week self-catering. Vau / Praia de Rocha is a nice distance from the airport. The apartment was very nice and spacious and had everything you needed, and the kitchen was satisfactory regardless of the size. The bar was very nice as was the swimming pool - both fairly quiet and full... more

The Vau hotel has been recentley refurbished to a high standard. Our two bedroom appartment was spacious with brand new kitchen and bedroom furniture. The restaraunt was not very busy but the food was good if a little overpriced. The bar prices were very reasonable, in fact the beer was cheaper than in most of the bars in the resort.... more
