“Perfect Golf Destination”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2010

Stayed here with six others and was very impressed. Aparthotel was flawless - pool was beautiful and well maintained, service was excellent, breakfast was very good. Found staff to be friendly and helpful. Didnt dine here afterbreakfast time so can't comment on lunch or dinner. The golf courses owned by the hotel group JJW are outstanding especially San Lorenzo. Absolute gem of a course. Deal for golf and accomodation was excellent value. Short walk to beach from hotel with gorgeous strand and blue flag sea. In a word, outstanding.

“Lovely Formosa Park.....”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2010
3
people found this review helpful

We have stayed at Formosa Park twice in 12 months and it fulfilled our expectations and more. Prior to visiting the hotel I contact the reception to confirm a few items that we required for our young family - excellent. From the moment that we set foot in the hotel (early check-in) we were more than happy with everything that we found - the 2 bed apartments are fantastic! The location is a little remote but you know this before you arrive and you will struggle without a car but from the hotel you can easily walk to the beach, 2-3 beach bar restaurants (with fantastic fresh fish) and the hotel pools, play areas and breakfast the children loved (the pool could have been a little warmer!). Thanks you Formosa Park!!

“Ideal location for Golf”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 June 2010

Welcoming staff in clean reception. Really helpful in helping us sort tee times and taxis.

Rooms very clean and really spacious. Hotel nicely decorated, but corridors to rooms had quite tight doorways with glass doors, a bit strange considering how many golfers were staying at the hotel carrying luggage and golf clubs to / from rooms. No damage anywhere 'though, so the hotel either has careful guests or very good maintenance people.

Nothing near the hotel to eat / drink and didn't fancy the hotel so had to get taxi to find food. Taxis all seemed to be 15 euros to go anywhere, day or night, so a bit of a rip off.

Played golf at San Lorenzo - fantastic course with some stunning holes. Price of hotel for 3 nights stay including 3 rounds of golf at San Lorenzo only £280. Loads of other courses around if you fancied a change 'though.

“Customer service second to none the staff are quite exceptional”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2010
1
person found this review helpful

We came accross the Formosa Park due to the cancellation of our flights due to the vulcano ash. We arrived very tired and unsure what we should do next. The hotel had one room left and we were delighted when they offered it to us at an exceptional rate due to our circumstances. The following day we had to check out the room we were in and the wonderful receptionist said she had nothing, but would try and sort something out for us. She did indeed, we ended up with an upgrade to seaview at no extra cost. We were quite humbled at the service they provided. Our flights were cancelled again and this was no problem for the staff who accommodated us. Breakfasts great as was the happy hour. May I suggest Easyjet send their staff there to learn the meaning of customer service.

“Great value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 April 2010

Golfing group just returned from this hotel. Very helpful staff. Good quality food for both breakfast and dinner. Dinner about 25-30 euro per person for 2 course meal with house wine. 2 bed apts were spacious and well appointed. Hotel a little isolated but facilities are such that I found no need to leave the complex. Taxis approx 40 euro return to Vilamoura
