Victoria Golf Resort and Spa Managed by Accor

It was ideal for a quiet and relaxing break

We had a great 4 night stay at the hotel, a true 5 star experience. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful with any questions we had. The room was spacious with a great view. Plenty of tv channels available and water replenished daily. The room was also cleaned multiple times a day on occasion which was a very nice touch. We ate at the restaurant 'Ria' once and the food was excellent, along with a very wide choice of breakfast options. I would highly recommend this resort for a stay in Vilamoura.

We had a wonderful stay at this 5-star Anantara Vilamoura Algarve Resort. The room was clean, spacious, and offered a very calm and relaxing environment — perfect for a restful getaway. We received a warm welcome from both the front desk staff and the porter, which made us feel right at home from the start. We opted for the half-board package and were very impressed. Dinner each evening was delicious, with a great variety of dishes to choose from, and breakfast also had something for everyone. (The only slight downside was the coffee, which could be improved.) The pool area was fantastic, and the spa facilities added an extra touch of luxury to our stay. All in all, a great experience — we would definitely come back!

Last minute booking, and what a great choice. Family suite large, comfortable and well fitted to 2 adults, 1 baby and one ore-teen. Facilities welcoming, reception well staffed and always helpful. Breakfast choices fantastic and cake for brekkie is a must!! Poolside service available and accommodating. Staff always willing to help and offer extra which makes the stay all the more enticing. Good choice of food and some really lovely flavours... I'm a big fan of an amuse-bouche, and these were even enjoyed by my fussy eaters. Highly satisfied and would highly recommend paying the little bit extra for the added luxury

Where do you start. We picked this hotel based on previous stays at the Anantara Group. This is definitely not up to the standard of Anantara nor is it a five star hotel. The outdoor pools are so cold you can’t swim in them. Both the Anantara and Jet2 literature state there is an indoor swimming pool, there is not. What there is within the spa is an infinity pool which to enter the hotel will charge you €25 per hour per person, absolutely insane from a five star hotel. What they don’t tell you is two out is the three restaurants are currently closed and whilst the food and service in the Ria restaurant is very good it becomes very monotonous over a ten day holiday. The general operation of this hotel falls short of Anantara and upon research the Minor Group who own Anantara purchased this hotel as a foothold into Europe from Tivoli Victoria. The hotel is tired and soulless. We had to point out to reception that pool towels had been left uncollected on sun beds for four days. The lack of lighting around the gardens and pool areas is appalling and dangerous. The hotel location is isolated with nothing in the vicinity. The hotel runs a courtesy bus to the marina but the first bus is at 11.00am, half your day is over. Within the bedroom the seat covers are stained and dirty as are the balcony beds, balcony curtains are torn and dirty. Toilet fittings loose and missing, and the toilet door doesn’t close. No idea what the housekeeping schedule is, you can go out in the morning and return after 4pm and still your room is not cleaned, and this is with a hotel which currently has very low occupancy. What Jet2 don’t tell you is this hotel accepts dogs. We were staying here when the clocks went forward we are still waiting 5 days later for housekeeping to change the electric clock in our room. In summary, this hotel has a long way to go to follow the recognised Anantara standards of service and attention to detail, however the staff try very hard to be helpful and friendly.

Very good

I had a business meeting at the hotel's main bar. Someone at the hotel entrance offered to park my car. When I finished the meeting, I asked the same person to bring my car back. On the way home, I noticed that my personal belongings had been tampered with. I noticed that $20 and some sunglasses were missing. I don't recommend anyone to go there.

I was impressed by the quality of the food in Ria restaurant and by the friendliness of the staff of the hotel throughout the entire stay. Their willingness to help is outstanding.

We stay at Anantara properties whenever available. This was our first time visiting the Algarve and as usual, the Anantara made our holiday that much more awesome!!!

Pleasant hotel, particularly if the weather is good and sun bathing is your goal. In poor weather, problems arise as the indoor pool is chargeable at €25 p.p./ hr. The outdoor pool is heated. A car could be regarded as a must have to get out and about as the hotel is 3 miles out of town. Shuttle bus runs into Vilamoura 3 times per day A few minor maintenance issues with the room. Breakfasts were very good and the Rio restaurant excellent. Staff very efficient and welcoming. Overall we enjoyed our 4 nights there.
