Vilamoura Garden Hotel

Check was fast, friendly and efficient. Room was very good. Large bed, safe balcony, very clean, tea and coffee making facilities in the room.Rituals toiletries in the bathroom. Breakfast was a hot and cold buffet with good choices in all areas. Pool looked clean but didn't use it. Dinner menu had a good selection of dishes but again did not use.

We stayed group of 4 we where there for long golf weekend. Hotel was in great location clean and tidy, we where upgraded to a suite which was helpful as one had pull out bed in lounge and one had bed in bedroom. Good food for breakfast and staff where super helpful. The only slight down side we felt cinnamon smell in reception was quite over powering, it smelt like from a plug in but was very potent, some may like it but not for us

100% recommend. First of all it's very clean, which is very important to me. Staff was so lovely, and attentive, especially Pedro, he went an extra mile! Location is good, close to Marina, food was excellent. Pool was good, always had sunbeds available at any time of day. We were there for a week and it wasn't overcrowded like you get at some big hotels. Will definitely go back.

We travelled as a family of 3 for a weeks holiday. The Vilamoura Garden Hotel was fantastic. The hotel was clean, modern and quiet. Reception staff were helpful with excellent English. There is a ramp up the handful of stairs to the lift from reception. No problem for us, but this is actually quite steep for wheelchair users and they may require assistance. Our room was 114 (garden view) with a separate lounge area made into a sofa bed for our son. The bedroom was large with a free electronic safe. This was a nice surprise as we're used to being charged for the safe! There was also a free bottle of water, tea/coffee facilities and a fridge. AC was great and could be set separately in the bedroom & lounge areas. Each area had a balcony with a table and 2 chairs. Some TV channels were in English including sports and movies. The bathroom wasn't huge, but it was clean and modern and the rainfall shower over the bath was lovely. The room was cleaned and towels changed daily. There are also robes under the sink. The pool is fairly small but our son still had plenty of fun splashing round in it. We never had a problem getting a sunbed. Towels are free from reception. Breakfast is a buffet with plenty of options. There's sausages, bacon, scrambled eggs, beans, mushroom, toast, cheese, meats, yoghurts, pastries & cakes, tea, coffee, OJ, water etc. Plenty of choice for our fussy 10 year old. Pedro was an absolute ray of sunshine welcoming us to breakfast every morning; so friendly and helpful. We also ate there for dinner once. The food, wine and service were good and prices in line with the marina area. The hotel is a 25 min walk to the marina. The Hilton next door has a shuttle bus that Vilamoura Garden guests can use which runs morning and evening. We took this to the beach and to/from the marina a couple of times. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and appreciated the smaller boutique feel of the hotel and the excellent standard of service. We would definitely stay here again if we returned to the area.
