Alles was goed geregeld.

Loved the resort shuttle service which was mostly very prompt. Grocery store nearby. clean rooms.

Love Vale do Lobo resort would recommend to anyone

VDL is our home from home, I have been visiting for 35+ years now and seen many changes. Whilst I welcome some changes I don't think they are working. The praca has undergone major changes over the last few years, I think the change in restaurants is positive as it's good to change menus etc, it's not really working sadly. There is quite clearly a standoff occurring between the owners of Creperie, Sandbanks and VDL. Resort cards don't offer the discounts in these places anymore and this is not made clear. Who is to know whether it's a VDL restaurant or not? Have to mention Doce we loved this addition last year, yet this year the service was awful on several occasions. Staff kept saying they had been really busy but they hadn't, other members of the family had been in during the "busy" period. This excuse became tired after a while and we gave up going. The Praca pool is unbelievable! This used to be a family area, out children spent their childhood in this pool . Now it's a glorified nightclub. Tried this area a couple of times but were out off by the loud music and members of staff smoking hashish and blowing it over us. Really feel VDL has lost its way as a family resort. The golf is as good as ever, glad to see the tennis centre has been revived, but the heart of the resort at the praca is now really lacking. Many a time we could walk from beach to praca at any time of the day and it was humming. No longer the case sadly. The ice cream place was always busy this doesn't seem to be. On several occasions we witnessed severely intoxicated individuals in the middle of the day causing a scene. Again not really what you would expect A positive if the resort bus! Much easier and more regular. So to the new owners I ask ease look again at the whole praca set up it's not working.

Loved the property and location. Staff were very helpful. Will definitely be back.

Outdoor furniture could be upgraded but cushions were delivered on request.

Very spacious and immaculately clean.

Very old wardrobes and bedroom furniture that had seen better days. Dripping of water from air conditioning .

Location

It needs to be updated. Quite tired and very dark - beds not very comfortable and mid stay clean was very ‘light touch’
