All round excellent hotel - Pestana Vila Sol Vilamoura

Excellent hotel, all the staff were very friendly and engaging, great facilities, the food and rooms were very good . Very good value for a high standard hotel/holiday experience with the added bonus of been very well located for a short trip into Vilamoura. Would highly recommend this hotel for families or couples.

TripAdvisor Review
Stayed in worse. Staff great.

Just returned home from a long weekend with a friend. Overall I’d say the hotel was okay, seemed understaffed at times which is a shame. Struggle to see how this is registered as a 5*?

The room we had was okay, tired in places and lots of wear and tear marks about, a large number of slabs around the pool area and surrounding were loose and a trip hazard.

Pool and bar staff were great, very friendly and food was fine. Breakfast was good, offering lots of selections.

A few more staff members, a better pool area and some updates in the rooms and this had the making of a great hotel.

Nice but stupid rules

Beautiful grounds.. a bit out from the marina area so you would need a car (or uber) to see any nightlife. Golfers will be happy here.

Air con in the room is good. rooms are pretty and well presented. Each room has a fridge with two complimentary bottles of water.

Breakfast was plentiful with even alcohol being served. The omelette bar was average.

My biggest gripe - sat by the pool, minding my own business drinking a can of 7up I had bought from outside and being told that you can only consume drinks from their bar (7 euro for a drink!) - Which is the most ridiculous rule I have ever heard- especially considering how much I have spent for the room. Never heard such nonsense.

Disappointed - no care for guests

The hotel is ok in places, breakfast and pool bar / pools are decent and location is ok (quiet area).

The staff here do not care about their guests - on check in staff were unhelpful and rooms weren’t ready till really late in the day (we were told any time after 3pm… emphasis on ANY time, could be midnight for all they care).

The door to our bedroom was broken and had a mouse come into the kids bedroom in the night. Kids had to sleep in our bed and hotel had to find mouse and do emergency fix to door (no offer to move us).

Came back from lunch on one day to find the cleaners had left our room door open with all our valuables on display.

Sockets dangerously exposed in kids room.

All reported to hotel and the staff did not care at all - no meaningful apologies.
