we have just stayed in the vilamoura golf hotel and we have had a very nice time.I was there with my sister and the purpose was relaxation.The room was clean and spacious and had everything you could possibly need if you were going self catering.downside was that we didnt have a balcony rather a terrace which wasnt too nice.Rooms are not cleaned until late in the day either.The pool is lovely and it wasnt too crowded,u dont need to be up early to bag the sun loungers!The pool side bar offers plenty of choice but is expensive.its 3 euro for a pint or a can of diet coke!The hotel staff were more than nice.We went self catering and sometimes paid the 6 euro for breakfast and there was plenty of choice.We attempted to walk into vilamoura - that didnt happen!! The hotel does offer a shuttle bus in and out 4 times a day but the last time is at 5pm.There is a supermarket in vilamoura and it offers everything and is way more cheaper than the hotel.There is no shop anywhere near the hotel.The beaches at vilamoura are absolutely out of this world and def worth a trip.The marina offers tonnes of choice food wise and limited shopping.We were there for relaxation and Im 31,my sister is 27 and we were prob the youngest there by far so single people dont go there if you are looking for singletons! Most people were there for golf - the men tended to go play golf and the women laid by the pool. I found this place so relaxing, no loud music, no drunk people falling about the place - it was great! Its not a 5 star accomodation, i would say its 3 but its very, very clean and def comfortable. I would recommend to anyone but do be prepared that you are 10 mins out of the hub of things and you will have to pay taxis n and out at night.
