Portugal Golf Holidays

Booked this for my husband’s birthday. Everything was better than we hoped for. Welcome Gift and cake for his birthday waiting in our room when we arrived. Exceptional service at the desk and everywhere else. Great golf on our last day. Thank you for making our weekend so special.

The pictures making it look newer and updated, it’s very dated. The room I had looked like something out of the 80’s. Beds were hard as a rock. The only reason I’m giving any good stars was the front desk guy, who was doing a great job.

Great location. Great property. Close to beautiful beach.

Staff were lovely, particularly around the pool & pool bar area. Reception & Shop all very good. Setting was great and the resort had a really good feel about it... BUT... The villa (No.26) was shocking. It was dull, dark, had no useable outside area and was simply somewhere you do not want to spend time...; Very old fashioned, terrible lighting, really dull and just in need of a revamp... I spend a fair bit of time in this region of Portugal (Almancil, Quinta do Lago & Vale do Lobo) & have been fortunate enough to stay at Four Seasons Country Club, Four Seasons Fairways, the Conrad, all of which are within walking distance of Vilar do Golf.., and all are infinitely better. Okay, I hear you say, maybe they cost more, well not necessarily We booked a premium room for 3 nights and the per night rate was equally matched by 2 of the previously mentioned resorts. Further try the Wyndham, across the road next to Fairways. Offers alot more for your hard earned money.... We were booked in to Four Seasons Country Club for a week, but decided to travel over three (3) days earlier.... I had heard good reports about the newly refurbished villas at Vilar do Golf so decided to test them out, specifically asking for one these new ones... However, despite the resort appearing, at least to be quiet we ended up in Villa 26, an old fashioned, drab and quite frankly depressing place to stay... I know that there are better villas, but this review is on my stay... Will I stay here again...No

Huge rooms, incredibly nice staff and amazing view. Room service could be more diverse and kid friendly but they were kind enough to allow us some alterations ;)

It was ok. Bedroom was good, comfortable bed and good bathroom. The living room part of the suite was pretty bad, very uncomfortable furniture. The food was mostly poor, even for buffet food. Breakfast was an exception and was pretty good. As we stayed for more than 4 nights we got a free booking at one of the "restaurants". The food came out the same quality as the buffet (poor). The tiramisu dessert was dire, like 2 bits of bland rubber. Eat out where possible. One pool was closed for half of the 6 night stay and the other was only half full for 2-3 days but when they were fully functional they were good. Staff were mostly indifferent to you with some exceptions of them actually caring you were there. Cleaning service was good and front desc staff were friendly. The beaches close by are nice and only a short walk away. I was disappointed with the quality compared to the price. It feels like the price is high due to the room being a suite (quite needlessly as the suite aspect was very poor). For a similar price I would recommend VidaMar just 15-20 mins up the road (stayed there for a work trip before this stay). Better food, better room, nicer grounds, better beach access, and better quality of life improvements over NAU and all for a marginal increase in price (at the time of review). If this was a few hundred pounds cheaper it might be a worth while stay but for the price it is I don't think I will be visiting again.

We will be coming back!! This a beautiful property with great staff.

Great hotel and lovely gardens. Food at breakfast was a buffet but included everything you could want for
