Vale D El Rei Resort
Portugal, Europe
Carvoeiro
Set on a hill in the western Algarve, near Carvoeiro, Vale d'El Rei is 3 kilometres south of Lagoa, which can be explored on the way to Praia da Marinha. Surrounded by vineyards and hills and in close proximity to beaches that have been carved out of the cliff by the waves, this is a place which is far from the hustle and bustle yet is still conveniently close to everything.
Apart from its prime location, the property is a harmonious combination of a hotel with charming interior design and villas built in the Algarve's traditional architectural style. Surrounded by gardens, the leisure areas invite you to relax. Guests at Vale d'El Rei can also take full advantage of the 3 outdoor swimming pools. The sensational Day Spa features massage rooms and a relaxation area complete with sauna, hot tub, Turkish bath and hydromassage. Mediterranean cuisine can be enjoyed at the Serenata restaurant while the Calabash Café offers a nice setting for cocktails.
The hotel offers a free shuttle service to Carvoeiro beach.
Here, everything has been carefully thought out so that you don't have to think of anything.

Prosecco breakfast
Really lovely hotel with brilliant staff .only criticism we have is the advertised mini bus to the town centre didnt happen as the shuttle bus was broken , so if you do want to venture out to the centre of town was an average €9 with a Uber or €10-15 with hotel ordered taxi !!! As I say it is a lovely hotel so thank you for great week ps the Prosecco at breakfast is a lovely touch !!!

Beautiful resort with absolutely amazing staff (especially Alissa!!)
We drove from Lisbon and unfortunately suffered a flat tyre, having to wait for Mercedes we needed a last minute hotel as we had already left our other resort for a beach day. First of all, our greeter at reception, Alissa, is a lovely lady and super helpful and kind. She made us feel at ease and very welcome at 10pm!!
The room was gorgeous, clean and very lovely spacious bed! Breakfast was fantastic, lots of options including hot and cold variety and enough for me as I'm an annoying vegan lol.
We checked out at 11am, they looked after our bags so my partner could go and deal with the car and I used the amenities around the resort, its a lovely place filled with lovely staff and adorable wild life. Couldn't have been stranded in a better place, please do consider here if you would like a calm, relaxing stay.
Thank you all, so much Sarah xx <3
Worth a stay
In my humble opinion this hotel was excellent nice helpful staff. Staff knew you were on holiday and did their best to ensure you had a great holiday. There fun activities you could such as tennis minu golf there was also a relaxing jacuzzi a swimming pool and spa. Food was excellent even though it was a buffet what would have made it better is offering A La Carte. The room was top notch beautiful view clean bathroom TV was functional and cleaned a high standard. The added bonus was a reward for cleaning your room every other day instead of daily. Worth €5 per missed day. Great touch.
Bit mixed experience
Hotel and breakfast was lovely. staff were great and if you have a car it is a super place to stay. Would have given 5 stars but unfortunately the last couple of days were not so good with the promise of live music one evening and a cinema night another (both, although advertised on the day) were not forthcoming. Also, used the free hotel shuttle to local town and were forgotten about on return trip so had to phone to remind them to pick us up (quite frustrating and no apology from reception).

Water provided in you room on day one only then €4.20 a bottle!!!
Nice hotel but they charge for water...supposed to be 4*! This hotel gives you a complimentary bottle of water on arrival and they don't replenish water in the room...you have to buy it at the bar for €4.20. There is also no place that you can refill your water bottle. So disappointing from a 4* hotel!!!
