Clean and Quiet

Reviewed By InvestigateTravel

I know this sort of title will suit most and it is just that. The hotel is very clean and you can sleep for days (if that's what you want to do). Although if you want to venture out, which I recommend, the marina is a lovely place to walk around. There are a few lively pubs and some decent restaurants (Reviews to come) in close proximity, don't be afraid to walk down a little lane or up some random steps as you'll be surprised by how many hidden gems there are. When getting back late make sure you go to the correct door as the obvious ones might be locked. The hotel has a shuttle service to a few of the popular golf courses so make sure you ask but get in early as it can get busy. All in all a very nice hotel so enjoy your stay!

Nice Stay

Reviewed By djord4

Always a nice stay at this hotel, this was our 4th trip here and most probably our last. It’s a decent hotel but think we have grown out of it now as we can see little by little, things being taken away. I won’t go into everything but the location is quite a big factor. Yes, they put a shuttle bus on but for both beach and evening, the number of people requiring it’s services compared to the tiny van on offer (used to be a large coach) is much larger resulting in queuing wars twice a day and is not overly pleasant when you are trying to chill on holiday but there is no queuing system for the van and it’s a free for all when it opens it’s doors. Next time, think we’ll go for a hotel closer to the beach and marina.

The breakfasts were great, huge variety included cooked bacon, 3/4 varieties of egg, etc., continental, pastries, fruit with some additional extras which changed daily, cannot see how anyone could have any complaints. The staff throughout the hotel were friendly and efficient. Pool was chilly to be fair, but once you were in it was ok. The whole place, pool included, had high standard of cleanliness. Rooms extremely well equipped, with kettle, iron, coffeemaker, safe, fridge etc etc. first class experience throughout,

A wonderful resort with great facilities, our apartment was spacious, clean and well serviced. The highlight of the stay had to be the staff and the service. We ate and drank at the Piazza most days, whether it was breakfast, lunch or just drinks. Nuno and Kelly were, simply put, amazing, they were incredibly attentive despite being constantly busy. Always smiling and courteous they are the epitome of best in class service. Thank you Nuno and Kelly, for making our holiday very special!!

Great last minute trip

Reviewed By Aisha U

We decided to have a long weekend in Portugal. We found this hotel really last minute. The rooms were nice & super quiet most of the time. My only bug bear was we were woken up to the sounds of a hoover every morning. Breakfast was ok but could have been better with a better selection. The staff were lovely & friendly. Tiago was great & took time to give us some recommendations. The pool was quite small but to be honest we spent most of our days at the beach. Overall it was a nice stay.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Dom Pedro, room large and bright with a view over the hotel pool and the sea. Staff were friendly and helpful. The pool area was well maintained with plenty of sunbeds around the pool but also in the garden area with plenty of tree shade from the hot sun with waiter service for food and drinks. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Quiet, Relaxing Hotel

Reviewed By CathDex

Just returned from a week's holiday here. Lovely, quiet hotel away from the busy town in a beautiful setting. The hotel is extremely well kept and the apartments are cleaned daily with fresh towels and bed linen. Each apartment has it's own private balcony or terrace. Staff are very friendly and helpful and apparently multi-task from our observations!. We opted for self catering but ended up eating most days at the pool bar where there was a small selection of sandwiches/burgers served with crisps or chips. We found this quite adequate for our needs and not expensive. We had breakfast in the restaurant on our first morning and there was a selection of cooked food including full English breakfast if that is what you want or a wide selection of cereals, pastries, bread rolls and fruit plus coffee, tea and fruit juices. There is also a separate bar open in the evenings. Although there is a large swimming pool and a smaller pool that would suit children this is not the place to take young children who need entertaining all day, we considered it more suitable for adults due to it's location. A complimentary shuttle service runs from the hotel to Vilamoura Marina 3 times a day. Would definitely recommend.
