Hotel Apartamento Do Golfe

Just managed to book this for 1 day for my birthday weekendfor myself and my daughter and wished I had booked it for the entire duration of my 6 day stay in Portugal. Clean, peaceful, pool was crystal clear, staff were friendly. d I somehow managed to get it for a very competitive price, not the usual rate. Guess it was birthday luck 😎 Please refer to some pics🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

This was a 5 day Mother and daughter break, for my Mum who needed a holiday after a difficult year. On the website this looked a basic but clean hotel in a tranquil setting - which suited what we wanted from our short stay. The reality however was very different. Hotel: 1 star. We arrived at 1pm and was told to wait til 3.30pm for check in. We spent these hours having a bite to eat in the cafe area. Eventually the hotel worker found us and gave us a key and said go and find your room with a rudimentary point to an area by the pool. On the website the rooms look like sweet little bungalows by the pool. What it doesn’t tell you is that the rooms go under the nice looking ones down several grim flights of stairs and are underground. Ours was the room right at the bottom of the stairs . Anyone would have struggled to take a suitcase down these stairs but it is especially hazardous for people with any disabilities or bad knees or a bad back. My 75 year old Mum who had a bad back could not manage this and we were offered no assistance at all. Once we opened the apartment door we were greeted with a dingy windowless room with a dated circa 1970s kitchenette. Where’s the bedroom we thought.. We went down more steps and found a bathroom that was so old it belonged on the antiques road show! Another lot of steps down to the grimmest looking ‘bedroom’ with two wafer thin twin beds and a cheap pillows that were only half the size of bed width. That’s 3 lots of steps down to each room in the apartment - such a weird set up. As my Mum can't manage steps we requested a room change and was told none was available. So yes we were the ladies who said we are not staying here! Food: basic but okay. No menu choice. Cheap as chips and everything on the menu is something with chips. So if you love basic food you’d be happy. We were planning on eating out all holiday at the Marina so this didn’t overly bother us, but the accommodation did. 1 star at best. We’re now at the Four seasons who on arrival gave us a free upgrade after hearing about our awful experience, and gave us 2 glasses of Rose as a welcome gift. In summary don’t be fooled by the 3 star rating, but you might drop lucky and get a room that’s been semi updated on the ground level over looking the small pool.

A fantastic lovely little hotel set in lovely little gardens , we stayed in a studio apartment and it was everything we needed , so so clean , was cleaned every day !! With fresh towels every day also,amazing! Staff were so lovely too , especially the pool bar staff , we were always made to feel welcome & the food was really good! Great shuttle bus service down to the marina and back 3 different times per day & if the bus was full they will do another trip. The area is very quiet but so nice , only one spar shop at the bottom of the road but has everything you would need with a lovely wee cafe/bakery attached with outside seating to enjoy your coffee ☕️. It was our first visit to Vilamoura but won’t be our last Thank you all.
