“Amazing”

We stayed here over the New Year period 2024 to 2025 (including New Year's Eve - hotel midnight fireworks were nice to watch from our balcony) to get a bit of winter sun. The hotel is just excellent all round. Really nice, relaxing grounds, tranquil setting, lovely set up (too hard to describe in text, but just so nicely set up - much better than the online pictures show), but not far from towns; we just got an Uber when we wanted to go anywhere as we decided not to rent a car, which was so easy to do; we also got an Uber to the local supermarket to get provisions in, which again was so easy and quick to do. Too cold for the outdoor pool but the indoor pool was just marvellous and never busy; on one visit we had the pool to ourselves for most of our time. We booked on a bed and breakfast basis; breakfast was just amazing, with some changes every day; my 8 year old son loved the chocolate doughnut day and churro day 🤣. The bar and restaurant food are really good too, though we didn't use them that much as we prefer to eat in of an evening; hence the provisions from the Uber trip to the supermarket. We had a two-bedroomed apartment (M06) which was outstanding; it was massive and so well kept and clean, with a lovely view and so, so quiet. We had one issue whilst there, but this was sorted so efficiently and professionally by Sonya and the manager, much more than just to our satisfaction; the staff of this hotel clearly do care about ensuring guests have the best experience possible and will do everything possible to ensure that this happens. Indeed, all the staff were amazing on every interaction. My 8 year old son said that this hotel is the best place he has ever stayed in (we stop in hotels and villas around the world frequently as a family) and he is not one to pull punches believe me; chip off the old block so to speak. I would also say, myself, that this is one of the best places I have ever stayed in my life, and I've stayed in some of the best hotels in the world. I'd read some of the more negative reviews on here before booking and going, but chose on balance to ignore them due to the overwhelmingly positive feedback. I'm so glad I did. We had such a lovely time. So much so, that at the time of writing this, I'm online looking to book to go back again in February (it's where my son wants to go for his February holiday so, you know..), which is what reminded me that I wanted to write this review; I had forgotten. If you have any hesitation about booking to stay at this hotel, I would recommend that you put this aside, and just go. The staff are amazing, the location is amazing, and the hotel is amazing. In the words of a stockbroker, 'book, book, book', or maybe I might have got that a bit wrong is it 'sell, sell, sell'?. Anyway, just go and enjoy - you won't get a much better experience anywhere else and I doubt you will be disappointed. As a direct note to the hotel as I know you'll read this: thank you to the management and all the staff for the lovely time we had; we will be back - possibly in four weeks time - hope to see you then.

“Quiet, clean and beautiful”

We went for some winter sun. It’s a really lovely hotel. The apartments are huge, clean and quiet. The inside swimming pool is great. The staff are brilliant, especially Sonya who worked hard to help us resolve something. We definitely plan to return.

“Excellent stay”

We have just returned from a very pleasant 10 day stay at Vale D’Oliveiras. The hotel was very comfortable, the amenities first class and the staff exceptionally helpful and friendly. Particular thanks to Sonia on reception and Anabela in the restaurant. We look forward to returning soon.
