Property was spacious and easy to get to shop and to the beach/restaurants by foot or shuttle. Good pool and bbq area etc, great for families like us. It’s a beautiful setting but unless you are super in to golf, not sure you need to pay the premium price to be in Val de lobo resort.

You are within a resort and the wells beach club is the resort pool which you have access to. Whilst this is a great setting, we felt that the pool was really grubby (toilets were dirty and the pool water didn’t feel clean (child actually got very sick)). This just lets the resort down for us and after this experience we just stayed at the beach and used our own villa pool.

Location. Golf courses. Restaurant at golf club. Overall space in townhouse and good facilities

Overall Vale de Lobo feels like a retirement complex rather than a resort. The beds were rock hard and the nice sheets don’t make up for that. Cleaning is only twice a week and doesn’t include the kitchen yet minimal cleaning items for kitchen or toilet paper provided. Pool at our townhouse a bit tatty with lots of tiles falling off. Being expected to pay 56 euros to use the beach loungers for a few hours at a place you have already paid 600 euros a night to stay for a family of four is crazy and makes you feel ripped off. Similarly parking charges down in the beach area not great and pricey. Why not have a residents car park?!

We cannot praise this property enough! It was exactly what we were looking for, a one bedroom apartment that was exceptionally clean and well laid out with a lounge area, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom and also an outdoor terrace. There was a welcome package of bread crackers jams and milk and also a coffee machine with pods provided. The bathroom provided a great shower with two sinks toiletries and towels and all of the bed linen was beautifully clean and fresh. On arrival our check in provided us with plenty of information about the resort and also we received our club entry cards to the Well Beach Club which was fabulous and all included in our accommodation costs. The staff at reception were extremely polite, friendly and helpful and helped us store luggage and call the resort shuttle which also came free to use as part of our stay. The facilities at the resort are fantastic with a large selection of bars and restaurants not to mention obviously the beach and stunning golf courses. Thankyou Vale Do Lobo we had a fantastic stay and have already highly recommended you and would not hesitate to continue to do so.

There was nothing we didn’t like about our stay

The resort was incredible- it wasn’t clear from the booking.com listing how amazing it was. It’s a massive resort, with so many activities. The pool is a pool club which has beds and a DJ that is all included in the price. There is unlimited use of the resort shuttle to take you anywhere 24 hours a day. There are so many options for eating out- sushi, tapas, steak, pasta etc.

We had booked the cheapest apartment accommodation and while the resort itself was amazing with the best facilities, it was as though our accommodation was a little tired and forgotten about. The drainage on the balcony was blocked so had standing water on the balcony. The toaster didn’t work and the dishwasher leaked so was unusable. Otherwise, it was comfortable and did the job as far as sleeping to spend all day out and about.

The Villa was exceptional, clean and of a high standard. It was good that you were offered discount on things like the restaurants and golf with the orange resort card. All the staff were very friendly and went out of their way to assist you.

It was a shame that you could not take food and drink into the pool as the prices were exceptionally high. We paid 25 euro for 2 coffees and a bottle of water. We also found the resort shuttle service a bit hit and miss. Sometimes the service was reliable, other times you waited quite some time.

two incredible golf courses. great tennis facilities. lovely pool down by the beach, both gorgeous. all restaurants we frequented were top class. shuttle bus for around the resort was quick and efficient. we had a deluxe two-bedroom apartment with hot tub and I couldn't fault it at all. fantastic, well equipped kitchen (although we only made breakfast and lunch there) everything extremely clean. staff throughout the resort extremely attentive, we will return again.

not a huge selection of restaurants open but we were out of season (October). the restaurants that were open down at the square didn't open until 6.30 / 7.00 which is quite late when the weathers not great and its dark earlier.

10/10 stay! Val Do Lobo Resort is amazing. Brilliant to have a shuttle service to take you to the beach and certain restaurants etc. Our townhouse was perfect for what we needed and MUCH better than what we had thought we were going into! The reception staff are so friendly and helpful - we arrived at 9am and could only check in at 5pm but they were so helpful with allowing us to leave our bags and go to explore the resort.

Only slightly annoying thing was that the property didn’t have basics like salt and pepper, toilet paper and bin bags. We were only staying for 5 days so to have to buy those for such a short stay was a bit frustrating but a minor con compared to all the pros!

APARTMENT WAS TWO BEDROOMS LARGE LOUNGE TWO BALCONIES TWO JACQUZZIS LARGE DINING AREA NICE WELL EQUIPED KITCHEN EVEN A LIFT DIRECTLY INTO THE APARTMENT RECEPTION AREA GOLF COURSES ARE SUPERB LOCAL RESTAURANTS ARE FIRST CLASS

THE GOLF COURSES WERE OVERCROWDED WITH POOR QUALITY GOLFERS AND PEOPLE WHO HAD NO IDEA ABOUT TIME AND MOTION WHICH LEAD TO MUCH TIME WASTING AND FRUSTRATION FOLLOWING THEM ENDED UP ABORTING BOTH ROUNDS WE BOOKED BEFORE THE END REAL SHAME

Location of the property is important, we ended on the 8th of the Ocean course, so you definitely need a car.

The swimming situation is a bit of a mess, you pretty much have to be down by 10am (or after 3pm) in order to have any chance of getting a bed at the Well pool. They are trying to create a beach club vibe and are probably falling between two stools. It just means that you end up on the beach a lot more !!

The staff at reception are friendly, welcoming and helpful. The house was lovely with a back, front and a roof patio, the beach was close, pools perfect with Free use of towels for the day and Free entrance with the VDL resort orange card (E25 for a day pass), great variety of restaurants, grocery store has everything, shuttle around the resort is very helpful

We did not know the swimming pools would only be open from the 1st April and the beach was windy so we spent the first 2 days a the house and in Quataria & Vilamoura (the neighbouring towns) doing some shopping and sampling the amazing seafood. It would have be great to be advised of the late pool opening times then we could have adjusted our dates as we travelled with children.
