The facilities and access to local restaurants / trips etc is great. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The weather was also great, clear blue sky and 32c

My son and I had the absolute pleasure of staying at Four Seasons Hotel for 8 days. I review restaurants, businesses etc. Something I spent an entire module learning at university how to write unbiased reviews. Please see my previous google reviews just to name a few. When we arrived we were greeted by a wonderful gentleman with such profound professionalism. He explained everything we needed to know and provided us with all the information in the form of leaflets. In this respect check in was spot on. I mention this because there are hotels where check in is a nightmare. A porter carried our luggage to our room which was a real bonus. A few weeks before we went on holiday, I contacted the hotel if they could allocate us to a room closer to the main reception, restaurants, pool etc. for personal reasons. Within a few hours I received a confirmation that my request will be granted. We stayed in a studio apartment and were surprised to see how huge and spacious it was, considering that this was the smallest room. It had a big bathroom, hallway with wardrobes, ironing facilities, washing machine and a few laundry tablets are provided. Then there’s a kitchen with all the white goods, culinary equipment etc. The next open plan is the lounge and then the bedroom. Some rooms have balconies or garden/parties with beautifully maintained gardens. On our first night, there were issues with the bathroom and within minutes a technician came to fix it, this was around 12:00am when I decided to take a shower. Unfortunately by the next day, the issues in the bathroom were not resolved The hotel decided to move us to a different room, which I was skeptical to do because I had already unpacked our bags. We were then moved to a ground floor studio which was even better because it had a patio/garden with a recliner chair and a set of tables and chairs. A place I spent most of my evening after dinner. Breakfast was a buffet with options of hot food and contemporary. Guests can also request for an omelette of their choice and fried eggs are made infront of you. We did not encounter any queues like in a canteen in comparison to some resorts we have visited in the past possibly because we went there on 28th August when most families have returned home. We had lunch at the pool bar and the pizza was delicious. Although the bar menu is quite small. Dinner was themed daily for example Brazilian, Portuguese, Sunday roast etc. Our favourite food themed nights were BBQ, Sunday roast, Portuguese and Sea food. There was entertainment at night but not huge in comparison to some resorts we have been which brings in different artists or white parties etc. The guests looked more like middle to upper class and not the Ibiza drunken loud tourists. Everything was calm, civilised and we made a few friends during our stay. Some have been visiting Four Seasons for over 20 years. 20. The were no issues with deck chairs because they were plenty. No reserving with towels at 5:00am in the m

Absolutely love this place. Friendly helpful staff. Place is immaculate and the apartment was fabulous. Lovely pool area and plenty of lounge area beds. Great location 🥰

The four seasons is our families favourite place to stay when we visit Vilamoura STAFF: The staff can not so enough for you and are so helpful with anything that we may require. APARTMENTS: The apartments are 5star standard and have the most comfortable beds and furnishings , they are warm , cosy and modern with all you need for your stay. Washing machines , dryer , cooker everything you need . Plenty of space for the whole family to feel comfy. POOLS: The pools both outdoor and indoor have kept our family entertained for hours on end . Spotless clean and warm . RESTURANT AND BAR : The bar area was so relaxing and always a warm welcome btly the staff, we ate in the restaurant twice during a 5 day stay and the food was absolutely beautiful, and price is very good too for a family . We feel right at home when we stay in 4 seasons. It's warm , cosy and most important it's very safe for children. We will stay here every time we visit VM.

The hotel or to be precise, a time share complex was on first visit a very nice venue, well maintained with gardens and outside pools. The staff were lovely and very helpful, especially Ana Maria on Reception and all the waiting staff. Due to mobility issues I needed to change apartment to use mobility features in the bathroom but this is where a little more thought needs to go into the room design. Admittedly the loo had bars either side to help you but the shower was over a high sided bath with just one small bar to hang on to, no walk in shower. The whole apartment was floored in white marble, lovely in the summer but a killer in the wintertime and we had to ask for the underfloor heating to be switched on in the bathroom to make it bearable. Luckily this was arranged. I would be very worried, using a stick to walk across the floor it's quite slippy. The main complex where we ate was nice with luckily a modern fire in the lounge area and small restaurant at the back. Again, for disabled guests, the restaurant is on 2 levels with steps in between. As the hotel got busier a lot of guests had to eat in the lobby and one lady complained of the cold. Luckily the hotel did provide some fan heaters. Food was average but Christmas Day dinner was very nice. For some reason we had to pick from a menu the 1st week, with items such as burgers, pizza, and some more adult fare on the menu. Prices very similar to UK so be aware when booking up, especially in the winter as rest of the Old Village was dead except the Spar shop. 2nd week we had buffet. Bit limited and not much in the way if fresh veggies. Can't comment on they do for special diets would highly recommend you contact the hotel. In the apartment we did have a proper kitchenette with all the gadgets including dish washer but to get hold of cleaning liquids such as tablets, etc you need to purchase from Reception. Had a TV with all UK channels and Sky thank god so at least some entertainment when it chucked down (and it did!). Also given 2 yellow beach towels but expectation to wash these yourself in the provided washer/tumbler. Unfortunately our machine was pretty old and we ended up draping laundry around the room and in front of one heater to dry clothing. It added a festive note! Finally the activities. There isn't any. If you get some sun you can sit out and watch the pool being renovated. If you have kids, hire a car and go out though all the attractions seem shut down eg Waterpark. We did day trips using local taxi and travel agents. They were very good. Don't bother with the marina. It looked shabby and run down. Loule is much nicer. Overall I wouldn't really recommend this for a winter holiday but the staff redeem it.

As always a lovely stay. Been going to the 4 seasons for over 30yrs and it always delivers. Friendly staff and a very relaxing environment. The apartments are all really well equipped and extremely spacious and very well appointed. Would highly recommend.
