Vale del Rei Hotel & Villas

Lovely quiet hotel ,you would need the shuttle bus or a car to get around but we knew that. Spa facilities were fantastic and we used it a lot, staff very friendly and helpful.

Gorgeous hotel, 10 min drive to the nearest town and beach with free shuttle bus offered by the hotel

Really nice hotel. Car necessary to get to beaches and local towns.

Exactly what we expected when we booked it. The hotel was great and grounds lovely.

Spent 9 nights in the resort with 2 kids(11&9) and another family of 5. We all had a fab time and the staff were great. Most especially the reception staff(Osavaldo and Daniel) never tired of giving us details of what to do and where to go. Room was lovely and cleaned everyday. The resort not in the centre of town but I guess you can’t get the beautiful grounds they have in the centre of town. They said the resort was fully booked the day we arrived but we didn’t feel like we were bumping into people everywhere we turned throughout our stay. Outdoor gym and a tennis court(kinda pricey at £10 per hour). Free shuttle to the supermarket and town square. All in all fab holiday and I’ll definitely recommend and come back when I visit Algarve again.

Amazing hotel in a peaceful location. Hotel staff are extremely friendly. Would highly recommend.

When I arrived they told me they double booked moving us to a different hotel in an area we didn't like. It ending up costing us tons of extra time and money.

This is a lovely, clean well kept hotel. It's true that the location is out of the way, you absolutely need a car if you stay here. There's a lovely beach within a 10 minute drive and the nearest town with plenty of places to eat is about a 15 minute drive. The only negative about this hotel is the way in which they seem to have cashed in on the fact that they have a captive audience by charging over the odds for drinks and food. For example 2 small cokes by the pool came to €7 and a burger & a toastie was €15. That said if you're happy to pop to the supermarket approx 15 mins drive away you can stock your rooms mini fridge and then relax happily around the pool or in the gardens on the hammocks and day beds!

Did lots of research before booking this hotel which lived up to and even exceeded our expectations. Both reception and waiting on staff always courteous and happy to help. Rooms immaculate with all that you could wish for. This hotel has a nice tranquility about it, the grounds are beautiful whether you fancy lazing by the pool, in a hammock, on a draped four poster under a pine tree or grabbing a cool drink in the many more comfortable areas. The shuttle bus to the town and beach works a treat and they are both well worth a visit. Good variety of buffet breakfast and evening meal dishes prepared by someone who obviously has artistic flair, the dining area looked lovely. We've stayed in some really nice places over the years but this hotel is our best yet. Wishing you all many more years of success as you deserve it.

Rooms were comfortable with a good view. Staff were friendly and helpful with queries and assisting with stowing of luggage and loaded our bags into the car. We were 2 girls travelling together and found this more to be a family and couples hotel. More timings for shuttle both ways especially mid afternoon and at night will greatly enhance the convenience and attract more guests to stay.
