AP Victoria Sports & Beach

Good hotel. Food is pretty good. Staff are very friendly. Rooms are clean but basic snd noisy at night .Facilities are pretty good. Night time entertainment is ok. Suited for younger families

Firstly, the hotel pictures do not accurately show what the hotel looks like. I will attach the photos from the website and the photos I have taken during my stay. The photos on the website sell a much bigger pool and apartments. We were shocked when we saw the place in real life and this was a common theme of discussions when we met new people. Secondly, the hotel check in is 4pm regardless of what time you arrive. The hotel or jet 2 did not inform us of this before we arrived. We arrived at 12pm to be told we cannot check in for 4 hours.. We travelled with a severely disabled 6 year old who wears nappies full time and a toddler who was throwing up in the taxi. They refused to let us check in early. I had to speak with management and become quite assertive for them to finally let me and my son into our room. They still refused to let my sister and her 2 year old son in their room even though he was being sick. They had to wait the full 4 hours. Thirdly, the hotel takes on more guests than they have the capacity to cope with. Queues for the restaurant were around 40 minutes. Lunch time food was 12:30-2:30, if you missed this, you could not eat anything until the snack bar opened at 3pm. Food in the snack bar was never ready until around 3:45pm. The children in our party rarely ate at the restaurant as the only option for them was chicken nuggets. The food options were mainly fish, rice, vegetables and some days they’d have chicken. They also had lasagne and pasta dishes but they were caked in salt and not nice. Breakfast was the best as they had lots of fruit and pancakes. The evening entertainment was enjoyable by the children. They had a disco every night and reptiles one night which meant my nephews got to hold spiders and snakes. The entertainment staff were super friendly and welcoming. This hotel sells a much better package online than it does in real life. I would definitely not return.

Great hotel and facilities, I highly recommend.

We had the best time at this hotel. As a family with 2 young children this was perfect. The staff really go the extra mile to make sure everyone is happy and well looked after. The entertainment staff in particular Martha, Jojo and Flora were full of fun and did a great job with all the kids. Mini discos, face painting, live music/dance shows and bird/reptile shows are all included for free which was great. We went all inclusive and it was well worth it. Breakfast had sausages, bacon, eggs, mushrooms, pancakes and loads more. Lunch and dinner would always have 2 different meats freshly grilled usually a fish and a chicken/turkey/beef steak. Pastas, potatoes, rice, chips, nuggets, loads of veg, salad bar, dessert bar, and loads of other things. It was great for our 2 kids to try different things. Also, between lunch and dinner the snack bar outside did burgers, hot dogs and pizza which was a big hit. Drinks were great too with red and white wine, super bock beer and cider all on tap in the restaurant for you to pour yourself. Also 7up and pepsi on draft for you to pour yourself. Slushies for the kids available too. If you order at the bar you can also get cocktails and spirits. They use Smirnoff as the vodka which suited me🙂 The rooms were spacious, clean and had a great balcony and the cleaning staff were brilliant. Both pools were also very good. About a 5 minute walk to a little square with restaurants and a couple shops and maybe a 10 minute walk to a stunning beach. We will go back again in the future for sure.

It seems to be perfect but they keep changing the rules. It seems it’s ok for kids to put their hands into food that everyone has to eat. We now get to breakfast early before the kids get chance. We no longer eat in the hotel after breakfast especially after being sick the second evening from the evening meal. Some staff really nice others indifferent and some well that’s not for me to say. Considering it portrays to be 4 star I have to disagree when on an evening people are struggling to sit and relax with scant amount of tables to sit round so most have to resort to sitting on subbed. Entertainment is the usual holiday hotel fun, some singers and games for kids. I have seen queues form for dinner and not sure why and only the one bar and dependant in who is serving how big the queues become. Disappointed with what we hoped to be a week away relaxing as turned into a week away having to keep aware in case something else changes on the whim of whoever is working

Ett praktiskt och bra hotell för en sportintresserad familj på badsemester. All-inclusivebuffen var över förväntan, Det enda som var mindre bra var att hotellets anställda ofta bara kunde portugisiska samt att servicen i receptionen var långt under förväntat.

We arrived at the hotel late in the evening and were warmly welcomed with a picnic and bottle of wine, lovely touch. The apartment was great and great layout for a family with bedroom separate from lounge with pull out sofa. Apartment and grounds are very well looked after. A real bonus was that the hotel didn’t allow guests to reserve sunbeds, and guests who did this and not at their lounger within a set time had their towels removed. This meant we could get a sunbed anytime we went to the pool, other hotels could take note! All the staff were really friendly. We had gone all inclusive and although the food was of a good standard it wasn’t really to our taste. The choices were quite limited and as a result we did eat out a few times. Breakfast had the most options although the coffee was awful. The hotel could do with doing something about the flies at the buffet as there seemed to be lots on the food and no food covers or staff monitoring the situation. Overall though a really good hotel, with great staff and fab location. The 4 stars reflects the limited choice of food.

We are a family of 5 with three kids aged 16,12,10 who stayed for 10 nights from the end of June 2025. We had a fantastic time from start to finish and have no complaints whatsoever. The apartment is huge. Beds are comfy enough and the balcony is large. The a/c is very good, the bathrooms are nice and tea and coffee facilities are available Food in the restaurant is a decent standard. The breakfast is varied and there are a good selection of options at lunch and dinner. We have a couple of very fussy kids who were able to eat stuff every day even if it was just plain pasta. There are decent restaurants nearby if you want a change of scenery. The main attraction of this hotel is the staff and activities. The pool is a decent size. We have two football mad boys who played football every day on the adjacent pitch. We also played tennis/paddle ball and the kids took part in activities every day. The staff were extremely helpful, nothing was too much trouble and the entertainment team (jo Jo, arthur, Fiona etc) were fantastic with the kids, they remembered our kids names and were always available to help. The bar staff at the pool are very good and if you’re going all inclusive the drinks are excellent as is the snack bar in the afternoon The beach (Falesia) is approx 10 minutes walk away and is stunning. Overall I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel if you’re looking for a family holiday with plenty to keep the kids entertained.

Best Hotel in Algarve,the staff are AMAZING. The animation and animators are fantastic,friendly,funny,kind people and super generous. They work hard during the day ,I want to thanks a lot them for this! The apartment was clean every day with new towels,the breakfast was nice too ,and we had a great time with them Belly dance,crazy games,aqua gym,baby dance,foam party etc

Location was very good, close to the beach. All inclusive was also good with variety for lunch and dinner. The beds were too hard for our liking. The hotel had entertainment for those that did not venture out. The jacuzzi was not hot😞
