Just back after 5 nights in Pinhal Da Marina. Really liked these apartments. We had a studio with pool view. Liked the sun loungers on the balcony so then you could either stay in balcony or go to the pool for your sun bathing. No fault atall with apartment. Clean and spacious. The studio was quite spacious. We did not eat in the restaurant just had a drink there in the evening and it was nice. Lady at reception on our check in was very pleasant and helpful. It is about 8 to 10 mins walk to Marina. Bit of a climb on the way up but nothing major, we did it twice and 3 times a day everyday!!! I would recommend these apartments and we hope to return next year.

“Generally very good”

Just come back from a four night stay here. I cannot fault any of the staff or the apartment which had everything you could want.

Just come back from a four night stay here. I cannot fault any of the staff or the apartment which had everything you could want. However I went half board and was expecting to be able to choose from main restaurant menu when I went down but that was not the case, you get a menu with a choice of 2 starters and 2 mains which does change every day. Luckily I found something I wanted every day but could say that may not be the case for everyone. The only meal that really disappointed me was on the first night which was on Monday and the menu said calamari with chips or rice which so I expected a nice plate of squid with chips on the side but it was deep fried squid rings with chips, hardly a main mea. However after that it improved. But it would be nice if you published the half board menus online as well as the full menu so customers could understand what they might get. It is a 15 minute walk into vilamoura marina or quarteira but an uber only costs about €5, and within a 5 minute walk you have a small plaza with a bank, a few restaurants and bars and a Spar supermarket.

“Nice Hotel”

Nice hotel with a good location. Rooms were really big with everything you need. Pool area was nice and clean. The playground and playhouse were good activities for my 3 year old daughter. Less than 5 euros in a taxi to get to the marina or Quarteira. Staff were really nice and knowledgeable.

“So-So. Wanted to give more stars.”

A lovely little village type setting. Gated. Very safe. We arrived by car, parking is free and could park as close to out apartment as possible. We had a 1 bed apartment, top floor of 2 stories, overlooking the bigger pool. Fabulous. Room was spacious and absolutely spotless. Sunbeds on the huge b… more

A lovely little village type setting. Gated. Very safe. We arrived by car, parking is free and could park as close to out apartment as possible. We had a 1 bed apartment, top floor of 2 stories, overlooking the bigger pool. Fabulous. Room was spacious and absolutely spotless. Sunbeds on the huge balcony. All staff were friendly and helpful. Family of 4 so we had 2 single beds in bedroom and a sofa bed with roll out bed under it. Awful and just to confuse us there was a staircase in the room that led upstairs to a door to nothing. Odd but didn't bother us. We found the bar/cafe on site reasonably priced. Pools were lovely. Never struggled for a sun bed, always some empty. There is a little library and lots of info about the area in reception. Now, the reason for 3 stars. We had a family of 4 in the apartment next to us. Woke us up about 2am 1 morning, screaming, shouting, slamming doors, sounded like furniture thrown about and definitely glass smashed. Went on for about 30 mins. We attempted to ring the 3 x emergency numbers provided but no answer and could not get through. My children were petrified. I woke next morning to go speak reception and noticed several blood stains down the shared, white washed wall staircase. Awful. Informed reception of incident. They advised me they had been told of an incident occurring in the night and someone was injured by a gate. Most probably a lie as we definitely heard glass smashing, and the refused entry to the cleaner. I advised of the blood marks on the wall. They were still there over 24 hours later when we left! Aware the disrespectful guests should not cause the lower marking for the resort but the way it was handled was extremely poor! I also spoke to the family in the apartment below, who too heard all same nosies and tried to report.
