Product Details

Pool

We recently stayed at Vilalara and had a wonderful experience overall. The property is stunning, with beautifully decorated interiors and lush, well-maintained gardens. The beach is simply breathtaking.

Our Junior Suite with a pool view was a perfect size for our family (two adults and a 10-year-old), with comfortable beds and a spacious bathroom. Breakfast each morning was a highlight—delicious and featuring plenty of local ingredients, plus excellent coffee. The staff at breakfast were friendly and attentive, ensuring we started each day well.

Lunch at the poolside restaurant was enjoyable too; the service was friendly, and the food was decent.

The only drawback was our dinner at A-costa. Despite having a reservation, the restaurant was chaotic, with staff rushing around and seeming quite disorganized. Though there were several empty tables, we had to flag someone down just to be seated, and it took over ten minutes to receive menus after asking twice. Unfortunately, the food didn’t justify the wait.

Despite this, we’d happily return to Vilalara for the beautiful setting and comfortable accommodations.

Beautiful hotel with (mostly) exceptional service

The staff provide a service which is nothing short of remarkable. Restaurant staff, reception staff, cleaning staff, bar staff... they were all exceptional. The hotel, I should say, was also fantastic. I've not stayed in many better, and I've been lucky enough down the years to have stayed in some world leading hotels. It's a big site, but everything was spotlessly clean. Breakfast was excellent (including gluten free options) and we ate at one of the restaurants on many evenings - also superb. I can't recommend Vilalara highly enough.

Great welcome from amazing staff, and hotel amenities were all fantastic.

Transfer do Algarve para Lisboa

If you are heading to the Algarve for the beach & ocean and eat  incredible food, then look no further. We had an incredible experience from the moment we checked in - the golf cart to the room is always a nice touch. The resort is stunning, and provides a truly unique Algarve experience in a relaxing & luxurious setting.  No detail was missed over a perfectly manicured property. We stayed in a 1 bedroom suite, which was very spacious for our family for four. The suite was very clean, and had a nice view of the resort from 2 separate balconies. 

Everyone was very friendly, and incredibly accommodating to a young family. We had a baby with us and the staff were incredibly helpful. Breakfast buffet was one of the best we've experience, and had everything you could ever want in a breakfast, but also showcased locally sourced food (meats, fruits, vegetables & breads) which made it a more authentic Portuguese experience. The breads available alone were like those from a high end bakery. Unbeatable view from breakfast overlooking the pool and beach/ocean. We at a light lunch poolside most days, and had a few dinners at the restaurants in the resort combined with a couple nights out in the local town (which is a very short uber ride from the hotel). Highly recommend the tasting menu which we did one night, and was a fantastic experience. We used a babysitter through the kids club so we could enjoy the night out, which was well worth it. The town is close but you wouldnt really want to walk it to dinner as there is decent hill to walk up on the way back. 
Admittedly we did not use as many of the resort amenities as we expected, but that is only because the pool and beach were so beautiful, and what we were there for in the first place. 

. We would return in a heartbeat. We had such an amazing week that we extended our trip by 1 more night to maximize our time there, after our 2nd day (to avoid a travel day and overnight in Portugal). We took a train down, which I probably would not do again but fortunately had the driver organized by the resort pick us up and things went very smoothly from there. We bailed on the train on the way home and just had concierge book us a car directly to the airport after we extended our stay.

Algarve Perfection - we loved it so much that we extended our stay while we were there

The friendliest staff ever. Excellent rooms, breakfasts, courts and spa.  We have 5 adult children and are planning our next holiday.  Beautiful views and plenty of local resources such as golf courses and restaurants.  Perfect weather in late April. Thank you Vilalara
