This is was our second trip back to Vilamoura over 2 consecutive summers. Last year we stayed at the hotel next door and to the back of the Tivoli Marinotel - Vila Gale Ampalius (which I also reviewed) the difference in class was significant. Being a frequent business traveler I have been fortunate to stay in a number of 5... more

I am just back from a wonderful holiday in Portugal. I have never been to Portugal before and was really working in the dark with where to stay etc. I had been scouring the internet and brochure sites for guidence on hotels with a luxury edge and had passed over this on the basis of the pictures I had seen... more

Just got back from this hotel after a fortnight's stay. Hotel is excellent. We were on the 7th floor seaview which hasn't been upgraded yet but it was still clean, roomy and comfortable.

We were on the 6th floor... more

Our room had recently been updated and was... more

Pleasant and efficient reception staff are there to great you and the attentive porters have loaded up your luggage and are ready to guide you to... more

We have just returned from our holiday and the title says it all. The building work looks as if it is near completion - they were putting the tiles on the roof when we were there. There was minimal noise from the workmen - in fact they couldn't be heard because of the amount of children in and around the... more

Stayed here from 3-10th July and would love to go back. Was concerned with some of the previous reviews but I don't know what the problems were as we loved the place. Hotel lovely, staff attentive and always very polite. We stayed in one of the older rooms but they were still lovely, nice size with everything you need. Rooms... more
