Stayed for first time here for a week Sept/Oct 2011 in a Garden Suite with wife plus 3 year old and 8 month old kids. Having read reviews was unsure what to expect in terms of quality. Would equate this hotel to a Marriott rather than some top luxury 5 star hotels, but the price reflects this - you can't... More

My wife & I, an ex- golfer due to spinal problems, spent 11 nights here in Sept 2011.The staff were very helpful especially Flavio, who buggied us to & from the hotel/clubhouse where we ate most evenings-good food. The flat screen in room TVs needs to better their reception & include more UK channels.The hotel bar needs to open more... More

This was our first time at Pestana Vila Sol and we couldn't have been more impressed! It was by far the best hotel we have ever stayed in. We did 10 nights from the 18th September - 28th September but could definitely have stayed for longer. All round this resort is fantastic. From the staff to the rooms, the pool... More

The garden rooms are very nice and are located within the extensive gardens, complete with small man made lakes. Some of the garden rooms actually have their terrace directly onto the lake. There you can sit and... More

I had one of the garden chalets which was beautiful inside with a huge bed, delicious pilllows and the most fabulous bathroom. The rooms are very stylish but struggle with functionality, its very dark in there so good luck putting on your make... More

I was extremely disappointed with my stay, we took our 1year old child, the pool was freezing and very dirty, with broken tiles through out the hotel, the staff were unhelpful on all accounts. Knowhere to wash before a late flight home, we were advised to use the pool side shower?! with a one year old?! interesting, oh and the... More

Excellent hotel near Vilamoura. Large rooms and villas, beautiful gardens, nice swimming pools, a paradise for golfers. Helpful staff. Fabulous breakfasts. More

We love Vilamoura and this hotel is the ideal place for a relaxing break. However, as regulars we have seen standards decline since the hotel was owned by Marriott. This year in particular was noticeably poorer. The standard of cleanliness has definitely dropped, room service slow, and lots of the little details (i.e hand towels in the toilets are now... More
