Prado Vilamoura - Prado do Golf

The first bungalow they gave us was fine apart from the kitchen area. Cupboard doors hanging off, large chips & marks & peeling worktops. In general disrepair. Complained & got moved to a bungalow with brand new kitchen. Rest of the bungalow was spotless. Large with 2 bedrooms & plenty of space. Pool area in a bit is disarray. Pool was not cleaned once in the 7 days we were there. Weeds growing round pool not many brollys for shade round pool( some broken) in general the place could do with a good tidy up. 1/2 hour walk into marina. Can get bus outside hotel into town & albufera. Down load the Uber app as there taxis are a lot cheaper than the local ones. Portuguese people very friendly & most speak English. I would stay here again if the full place was given a makeover. Never anyone looking after the pool area or gardens.

Spacious quiet family apartments. Pool area adequate for size of complex and enjoyed by children. Pool area could potentially be slightly better maintained. Bar area nice for an afternoon drink, service and staff good. Apartments clean and maintained regularly throughout our stay. Air Conditioning leaked but was fixed during our stay. My only frustration was, when we arrived we were originally offered a ground floor apartment near reception and close to drive. I was disappointed how dark it was, no sun on balcony. I enquired if there was an alternative. Was told absolutely no alternative as fully booked. As we started to settled, after few hours, it became evident that air conditioning was leaking excessively. I complained again stating I really wasn’t happy. We were then shown to a bright sunny quieter first floor apartment on the other side of the complex. It was obvious throughout our stay that the complex was no where near full, many apartments appeared vacant. It is frustrating that they weren’t honest when I first enquired about an alternative. The new apartment transformed our holiday experience so I would encourage people persevere if not happy with the original apartment offered. Overall, our holiday in the alternative apartment was lovely. It was quiet, spacious, bright and comfortable. It was a great base for exploring the Algarve with our hire car. We had wonderful days out to Lagos, Albuferia beaches, Silves and Sagres. Good supermarket near by. Would highly recommend a hire car for ease of exploring from this location

Wasn’t expecting this to be the absolute wee gem that it was 😊 lovely spacious apartment, yes it does need spruced up in places but we had the standard one and it was well equipped and immaculate. (Washing machine, fridge freezer, hob overnight, toaster, microwave) Cleaners in regularly and all staff were very helpful and friendly. Lovely pool area, very chilled and always beds available. Used Uber for food and taxis but there is a spar 5 min walk and a larger supermarket 10 min walk. We loved it so much we’ve booked up for next year as soon as we returned. For restaurants our favourites were Don toro Angus grill (end of the marina) and Retinto. All in all we would highly recommend.

Little gem in Vilamoura, apartment E was our first given place which wasn't good for my elderly father as the small path was a little bit rocky when I brought this up the next morning we were instantly moved to a new apartment D2 our holiday started after that. The apartment itself was spotless and had all the home comforts like washing machine and dishwasher, kitchen was well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Our outside light wasn't working and repair men were there within minutes to fix the issue nothing seemed a problem. Beautiful little pool area with bar that serves food and drinks until 8pm. The staff were wonderful and couldn't do enough for us. Housekeeping was done twice during our 7 night stay given fresh towels and loo roll again lovley staff that couldn't do enough to help. The area itself is an uber/bolt ride away costing around 5euro to get to marina.

Stayed here for 12 nights in November, and we were pleasantly surprised by the accommodation we were allocated. We had one of the refurbished two bedroomed apartments, which was great. It was very clean and spacious with a fantastic bathroom lounge/kitchen area and two decent sized bedrooms. We had a washing machine which was very useful and a dishwasher which would have been very welcome if we had cooked meals ourselves. We were very disappointed that the pool was not heated and therefore unusable during our stay due to the temperature of the water (Arctic). The bar area was nice and did food on request but can't comment on that as we didn't use it apart from our included breakfast via Jet2. There was ample parking for our car and the reception was there with limited opening hours for any problems or to help with any local information needed. There were two supermarkets close by and a bus stop right outside the entrance. I'm sure during peak season the place would be lively and the pool great to use but there was hardly anyone around whilst were there so seemed a little desolate.

Jet 2 and owners photos do not show how 'tired' the accomodation actually is. Jet 2 also don't tell you that arriving early does not mean you get access to your rooms. We had to wait at the pool bar for 3+ hours. Having looked at our assigned accomodation we raised concerns re broken floor tiles, mould, old, stained, tired fixtures and fittings. We were moved to 'better' rooms.
