they are so nice with the kids and make them feel special

kids absolutely loved the water park and still hd energy to enjoy the pool and mini golf in the evening while parents relaxed with a cocktail

zealous staff constantly stop the kids having fun in the pool

breakfast great, pool and bar great

for breakfast a bigger variety of choices could have been great (each day the same kind of food)

there was karaoke in the bar on our last night which was so much fun

the hotel room is not very confortable and the kids beds were bad.

we loved the pool

pool, location great, lovely places to go on walks too

good kitchen to prepare some meals if desired & an outside bbq beside the pool

loved the pool and we got on well with other guests, however the apartment was different than the one we saw

t1 blue has a balcony and pool view

the kitchen was well

staff at pool bar so friendly an welcoming with the baby pools great

i’d love a bit of entertainment in the place as it’s so busy and there are lots of kids

the mini golf course, walking distance from the reception was great for the kids

the swimming pool area with the bar on hand for lunch and drinks

the kids club is very poorly managed

kids club was only for very small children but seemed great in terms of their facilities, it was

no evening entertainment. kids club not within hotel complex. no iron even under request.

bar area was pretty and always looked inviting in the evening with candles

just missing something for the kids

was very friendly especially the lady who worked in the kids club, my daughter had a great time

loved the facilities, how accommodating the staff were, the options for breakfast and the ability to access all the facilities easily

room had enough space for my family - 2 adults and 10&12 years old kids

even if just 1 person smokes it disturbs a lot of people who need to sit in the smell and the kids around having to breath the smoke

the gym was very nice and had all the suitable equipment, the reception was helpful and understanding

kids club was perfect

great to have a games room and a kids club

great to have a games room and a kids club

howl is beautiful and very nice for families, many couples with little kids

we think the whole area is better suited to golfers and tennis players

pool bar area, amazing location beach was lovely too

the kids club is also really great

kids menu was an issue and expensive at times with mixed quality ( chicken nuggets were

great location, great rooms and great pool area

staff are always friendly and breakfast is the best

sometimes the wifi wasn't that good.

very clean, a variety on the breakfast, friendliness of staff, very comfortable room. excellent

swimming pool was really well kept and spacious. really good cleanliness.

- the wifi in the room was a little too weak to hold a voice call

no iron available from reception (there is a laundry service which is pay per item)

rental car to get collected, pick up from hospital back to the hotel, transfer to the airport and breakfast take away boxes

was all beautifully designed, very clean with a spa and huge terrace and swimming pool

great facilities, pools, gym, spa, superb breakfast

needs a sun bed surely they can share especially as they are in the pool most of the time or kids club

nothing we could fault except maybe the kids menu selection

enjoyed everything about the property - location, pool areas, food, drinks, bar staff, apartments - all fabulous

lack of daytime options for snacks and bar service all shut at this time of year

resort itself is lovely, with great facilities, free beach towels, 2 different pools, gym etc

can use shuttle at hilton if did not have car (we have stayed at hilton hotel before and used this last

we were booked into a two bed apartment which was spacious and airy, with a well equipped kitchen, and gave a bit of luxurious feel

pool was still closed and no wifi in the room (but good connection in spacious lobby - so not too

all staff teams were amazing, from reception to kitchen and bar staff to cleaning staff!

perfect location, good breakfast, friendly staff

nice pool are and gentlemen at the bar so lovely

property was a 5 minute walk from beach, restaurants, bars and shops

probably could have done better with wifi but prefer to travel tech

staff were great, location great and breakfast lovely

no mini bar as stated, but had fridge which is better

an available all day bar area would be a useful enhancement

unfortunately the spa pool wasn't open which i only found out after the booking.

the gym

pool area was fantastic water was cold but it was late september so this is to be expected

the kitchen was very well equipped. satellite tv was fantastic when you have small kids.

were disappointed that normal bar and restaurant facilities were not available on new years eve after about 5 pm due to a gala

the spa staff were exceptionally nice & very professional

unfortunately we couldn’t try the swimming pool during this season but we profited of the gym and mini-golf on the awesome terrace

pool could be heated

the breakfast is good and with many choices, our suggestion is to make natural juices and it would be

gym is currently closed due to being refurbished

pool was a bit smaller than expected but did what it says on the tin lovely walks and great pubs

in the restaurant along with all the staff who were always so friendly - also the cleaners and room service

similarly the beach area is well attend with a bar area open in summer

room service was not to the same high quality - quite slow with limited choice

the hotel organised our airport transfers, taxis during the week and our golf arrangements

the other: the first room

kids club

it s great for families with kids

longer spa time access time for children

selection at breakfast, great facilities especially the gym, outside seating and pool areas and garden

the room service , lamb cutlets were exceptional

should be more helpfull like when some customer parked in front of the hotel and blocking all the parking traffic for like 25 mins chatting with reception about the bars around

for late check out

lovely hotel and sitting outside with breakfast was the perfect start to the day.

several parking solutions available, so it makes the hotel very comfortable for those, who travel by car

everything was perfect! the breakfast was delicious.

the gym was about the best i've ever used ' the staff at reception went above the call of duty when i

people putting towels on chairs when not there and unaccompanied children in indoor pool mainly

excellent, friendly staff. very good gym and sports facilities in resort.

year at the resort, friendly helpful staff from start to finish, great location for golf courses and vilamoura town

it had an awesome gym

if you want kids' entertainment, or like lots of action in the hotel and around the pool area, this is not the

location close to the beach and beach bars

the pool area was great and loved the new bar area

nice bar for a cold beer

perfect location small and very friendly hotel will definitely go back the pool area is lovely

good quality food in snack bar and restaurant

maybe big crowds of golfers need to keep the noise down when near the pool area

lovely pool bar with great snacks

the garden and swimming pool area was fantastic lovely comfortable beds to lie on and catch the

fabulous terrace bar and pool area

lovely breakfast and the gins at the hotel bar were excellent

swimming pool was good . the breakfast was good.

breakfast plates too small

very good staff very helpful and nice people would definitely go back again great for kids

gym opens at 7am so no reason why the indoor pool, steam room and jacuzzi can't be made available

bar prices for beer and cider a little high

we had a massage and a detox wrap at the hotel spa with carla and fatima which were excellent and fairly priced

lovely spa facilities and indoor pool, perfect for winter break

breakfast was very good in a small dining area

even though we did not use it, the pool certainly looked inviting in the heat

the made an easter cake demonstration where the kids got involved, it was a lovely touch

i think the bathroom was a little squashed for two people, and the gym needs updating, but overall i had a fantastic stay and will definitely return

location near beach and the pool are excellent

the service needs improvement: the water heater was insufficient, wifi issues took too long to resolve, the sofa bed was not clean, and there were limited

pool bar is expensive and the food/service is poor

breakfast was good, had non dairy options although would have benefitted from gluten free as well

clean spacious rooms with everything you need lovely breakfast nice gym

the bar did not open !

had a family with young kids in the next room and the kids were crying a few time during the night that kept me

generally families with young kids are out till late due to the climate/heat so it’s fine - at least this is what i felt

we were also told that kids eat for free and so we will only pay for adults but it turned out there is age limit so we had

person at the desk promptly gave us early check in and a good quiet private balcony room

the location was good as well, everything in 10minutes by walk with kids

the shower in this hotel is dangerous for kids they will end up in with burns from boiling water coming out of the shower every few minutes

very clean, nice rooms and great pool. the staff was super friendly and breakfast great!

nice and clean swimming pool, nice hotel and room

a wellness hotel the gym should be bigger

restaurant, pool and bar staff were incredible

gym: it has both a cardio section and also weights

excellent breakfast choices, healthy options and large variety

great spa, gym, and most of all indoor and outdoor swimming pools (both family friendly and adults only to suit all)

booked this specific hotel for the roof top bar and spa services

location is great , breakfast good, nice staff !

a short walk (5 minutes) to the ‘back door’ to the old town, harbour or main restaurant and bar areas

we didn't get to use the rooftop bar but i'm sure it's nice judging from the rest of the facility

clean everywhere, complimentary breakfast, staff were very helpful and gave great tips on where to eat, would happily stay there

i liked the spacious shared areas, modern look, good wifi, aircon & big rooftop terrace.

beautiful courtyard and rooftop modern allowed early check in: as soon as the room was ready place to store bike good storage

we enjoyed a walk into the town but returning to relax around the hotel pool

then breakfast was very generous, tasty and with the freshest ingredients

amazing herb garden, coming home to a wonderful dinner most nights, and lounging by the beautiful pool between adventures to surrounding towns or the local praia de tamates

the food was amazing - however the restaurant and pool area only served mineral water in small-ish glass bottles and very expensive

room as requested had 2 single beds, and the pool was amazing

the toillets near the principal swimming pool of the hotel

it was a stunning place with a fully equipped kitchen and garden furniture and a bbq

the food for the kids was excellent.

the champagne bar is worth a visit at sunset

golf course wasn't in as good condition as on previous visits at same time of year

special kudos to the magician and his show, he made kids participate which made the experience unforgettable

we used the gym and indoor pool which was really nice

the gardens and golf court are outstanding

charge you for adult exercise classes and for the kids club

you had to call room service to get mini bar refills

facilities were great - soccer camp and golf lessons beach is amazing

the spacious 2 bedroom apartment was fantastic, and the team's hospitality from reception to room service and breakfast was exceptional

vast amounts of pools, restaurants, kids playing

hotel should really invest in heated pools

indoor swimming pool with good quality

in the 2 pirate ships as in the hotel info you sort of think these are on the children's pool but they aren't

ideal for families with kids (there were a few families with pre-school age kids) and great for lunch but not much choice

kitchen with very good quality pans etc -twice a day housekeeping -spacious and well equipped gym -very child-friendly or safe, you can see that the -architect or designer carefully thought of

all the central core facilities, the restaurants, the main outdodor square (terrible looking kids machines in the core of the square), the main pools, and overall better design everywhere with

lots of steps and the beach is not so “kids friendly” with lots of stones and the ocean gets deep very fast

breakfast provided but local supermarket had sufficient supplies and the kitchen allowed for food

there is a free parking right in front of the exit of the house

they were doing construction in the area so the parking was not good and it also made it hard to find the place because of that, but once that is

there is a communal lounge, well stocked kitchen, terrace and large balcony with comfortable furniture

easy parking

with several fish dishes every night , yes the food was excellent , there was also a snack bar that needed investigating, basic enough but your too full to need anything after the huge

didn't get to try sunset bar but looked very

breakfast, pool area space

you to ring reception if it's off buy there's no phone anywhere and i don't bring mine to the pool , lastly patio slider to balcony needs a handle on the outside so housekeeping don't have to

if there was an option for room service

to complain, maybe smaller pool but we were exploring all the time, so no time for pool

pool was lovely to still at however still to cold to us

we liked the green initiative to minimise laundry etc

air-conditioning in the room and free wifi worked very well

we go to the balaia golf village every time we can and it’s always a gorgeous experience

brilliant holiday..clean with wifi tennis volleyball golf huge rooms fireplace gym jacuzzi

primarily a golf resort and built around a meandering small course, the whole village is tranquil, well

the gym equipment is not well maintained, some missing pieces

kids club for 2 hours mon, wed and fri

everything on site including food shop, laundry facilities

the wifi

the laundry service was a little disappointing

even though it was mentioned that pool is heated but it wasn t warm at all

wifi coverage is not the same in different place of the village

big parking place, near to the sea, had spacious balcony, but it was too cold to use it.

the food around the bar is lovely, freshly cooked on a bbq

free parking and possible to put our bikes inside the hotel

spacious room. good parking.

wifi not connected

great area. lovely meals. friendly staff, spa was a fantastic treat. sea view room was heavenly!

wifi is good as well

the room service menu is quite limited.

the charge for using the indoor pool is too much and should be reviewed.

wifi was probably the worst wifi i ve ever experienced at a hotel

was a large group of guys on a stag party who took over the pool area, playing their music on a wifi speaker and had zero consideration of other guests

wifi was ok, we manged fine

the wifi reception is unacceptable

allowed to book with a child and was only for adults
