This is a former Marriott 5* star hotel who was taken by Pestana some years ago, after being left by Marriott. It has “hotel rooms” and “garden rooms”, that look like villas. I stayed in one of the first, which was spacious, with a nice comfortable bed, good bathroom with toiletries. Pestana management is professional and courteous. Staff is friendly... More

My husband and his friend just returned from Pestana Vila Sol. The golf course was in great condition, the starters and marshals were very flexible in your tee times and making sure the golf flowed along effortlessly. The hotel and staff were first class they could not do enough for you, especially the front desk, they even made a birthday... More

Positives - Reception staff very helpful, changing our golf reservation times to more suitable ones when we arrived - very large and comfortable bedroom with spacious balcony - lovely swimming pool - 200m to Vila Sol golf course. Negatives - No free internet in public areas, air-conditioning in bedroom struggled to cope with 34 degree heat. Bar and restaurant rather... More

This is NOT a review of the hotel, just the golf course attached to it. Vila Sol is a relatively recent addition to the Vilamoura golf scene, compared to favourites such as The Old Course, Vale de Lobo and San Lorenzo at least but despite it's relatively young age, it's probably past it's prime and the experience is one that...

We stayed a week for golf on several courses of the Pestana Group. Arrival was cumbersome, as we were placed in a room type we didn't book. As the hotel was "fully booked" there was no alternative but to accept the "garden room", away from the main building, somber, dark and no view at all. We were promised that the... More

Spent a week here in Mid October. Stayed in one of the small villa/chalet on the grounds. Very quiet and peaceful indeed. Overlooking a beautiful garden with pounds and water-features. I’m not sure all these villas/chattels have similar views so its worth making an enquiry when booking. The chalet was close to a little indoor pool/Jacuzzi whit huge window overlooking... More

This Hotel has recently been taken over by the Pestana Group and has improved no end since the take-over however beause of the location (approx. 10 minutes drive from Vilamoura and Vale Do Lobo), the Hotel needs to have better service and cheaper prices to entice more people to use this lovely facility. 15 Euros for a glass of champagne...

We returned here this February for the 2nd year running. The staff in the hotel are very helpful and friendly and the rooms and service are a good standard. They have started to offer a daily special in the Club House each day which includes a drink and seemed good value.The hotel has lockers for your golf clubs and we... More

My wife and I have been regular visitors to the Vila Sol for a number of years. We have just returned from a week long stay and are now considering whether it is time to find another venue. The hotel location is excellent but many of the common areas are now in need of refurbishment. Especially the restaurant where the... More
