Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Would definitely recommend this location. The unit was spacious, clean and modern. The onsite grocery was well stocked with food, toiletries and wine/liquors and reasonably priced considering it was a 25 minute walk or 12€ taxi ride to the next closest store. Golf course looked immaculate, shuttle to beach allowed plenty of beach walking trails or restaurants. A rental car would be recommended if you wanted to sightsee as taxi was quite expensive 90€ round trip to Faro. Apparently most use Uber app.

Vilar do Golf is very well located in Quinta do Lago and the facilities are of a high standard. The 2-bed villa we stayed in was recently modernised and was spotless with cleaning twice during the week we stayed there. The reception staff are pleasant and very helpful and the food offerings are comprehensive.

Having been a regular visitor to Vilar do Golf , it is a beautiful spot and has all the potential of being a great holiday destination .

However I am disappointed to say that on my recent visit I was faced with a ViIlla infested with ants. They were all over the kitchen floor , in my food , in the shower and bathroom. This was definately not what I was expecting .

I was keen to find a solution , so asked the reception staff for their help . Instead after waiting hours , I was faced with a staff member telling me that I needed to find the nest and apply a spray . Having a small child in the house, I was not sure of the dangers of using these products near food etc. I tried my best to apply the product and woke up to an entire kitchen crawling with ants . This time a cleaner was kind enough to apply the product and try to clean the apartment . It was clear from her face she was shocked by the amount of crawling ants.

We had to spend the whole day out , due to the chemicals used in the Villa. However this attempt to clear the ViIlla of ants was not successful.
To my disappointment , the receptionist´s response was that the Villa is located on a Natural Reserve and this is normal .

Paying for 5 star accomodation , should not mean that Villas crawling with ants is normal!
I tried again to find a solution , even though the General Manager did not offer his time to help me .

I do not wish to cause more trouble , however I do not feel this experience is satisfactory and the approach that the staff have had has made me feel that I should not be complaining at all .

I only hope this does not happen to anyone else

I have a 4 year-old child, so I loved the fact that the resort has several pools (the inside one was great when it rained) and also has a playground for the kids to play without the adults ever keeping them out of sight. Plus, the presence of the pool staff was definitely a good thing (especially when some people didn't respect the rules of "a quiet place").
The pool bar was excellent and the staff simply adorable and extremely friendly.
Even though we had to climb some stairs to reach the villa, its location was very good.
Despite have experienced some minor problems with the villa's equipment, the maintenance staff was very efficient and always extremely quick to repair the stuff.
As for cleanliness, I just have one word to describe it: FANTASTIC.
The fact that you need to have your own pool towels or pay for those "provided" by the resort is definitely something that I can't understand in a place that is selling a "luxury vacation". I've been in several resorts in Quinta do Lago over the last 20 years and never experienced something like this!
When we arrived, the accessibility to the villa was a challenge because we had a lot of bags and more than our share of stairs to climb.
Parking the car was also a "not so good" experience due to the lack of parking slots (and we were there in September).
The villa was recently renovated, but the closets showed a lot of use (they were clearly left out of the renovation plan) and lacked space to hang clothes or storage most of the things we had (we were 2 adults and one child in a two bedroom villa).
As for the kitchen: there were no coffee cups (just 30 ml mugs), and the cutlery set didn't include desert forks, spoons or knives.

I feel compelled to leave this review despite never usually leaving reviews. I have been coming to villa do golf once/twice a year for the past 24 years and it has slowly declined unfortunately.
Service with long serving staff here has been impeccable over the years however I believe the catering is taken over by new management? To list a few issues. There Is 1 bar man at the pool struggling to serve everyone whilst being incompetent with the till and charging different prices everytime. There was no chicken all week, no sauces for food and I also had two separate undercooked meals. I can appreciate covid having a big impact however people spend the premium price for the premium service. Lastly, the food at the new on site italian restaurant is satisfactory although yet again, the staff are not as hospitable as they should be.

Thanks

Our weeks stay here has been helped by beautiful sunny weather. Our accommodation is clean, comfortable and well equipped. Outside on the terrace, an umbrella, table & chairs & loungers make it perfect for a drink, sunbathe or afternoon nap. The on site supermarket has everything you need to eat between breakfast at Cafe NOA, or an evening meal at the on site Italian restaurant. We did not have a car but found the hotels shuttle service great. It dropped us by the boardwalk where you can walk across a boardwalk bridge to the beach, stopping at Gigi’s restaurant. Or avoid the beach, walk in the other direction across the boardwalk either to ‘the shack’ or a little further to the ‘Bold Octopus’ both really good. As we enjoy walking we walked back from these restaurants, however if you time it right you can get the shuttle back, or if not call a taxi. The swimming pool area is very pleasant, lots of sun beds, nice pools or an in door pool if you prefer. There is a pool bar that serves drinks & light snacks. The resort is beautifully kept, lots of beautiful trees & shrubs, it’s also amazingly quiet, just bird song & the occasional golf buggy. Our 2 bedroom villa (no.12) was close to reception & the supermarket.

Just had a lovely few days stay at Vilar do golf in the newly refurbished apartments. Very impressed they were lovely and bright when we walked in to the nicely decorated lounge with open plan well equipped kitchen. The kitchen consisted of Fridge oven microwave washer and dishwasher and kettle and toaster. Also a nice little touch was washing up liquid in a hand sanitiser type bottle on the wall. Also a sponge and cloth tea towels and 2 dishwashing tablets and 2 washing tablets. Very handy as I had forgot to bring these so didn’t have to go out and buy them. Loved the colours in the living dining room. Upstairs was 2 bedrooms which consisted of one large double bed and 2 singles beds in the other room. Great storage space and televisions in both rooms. Lots of English channels bbc itv and news channels and sports and radio channels . Bathrooms well equipped with 2 sinks and good shower. Hairdryer was attached to the wall and this worked well. Plugs in all the right places. One by the mirror (which you sometimes don’t get in hotel rooms) . 2 either side of the beds and 2 more. Great landing space for suitcase to be stored. Another small toilet room downstairs. The heating was great and really warmed the rooms when it got cold at night. Really comfortable beds and pillows. Lovely terrace area outside with 2 loungers and table and chairs.
Didnt really use the outdoor pool but it looked very nice .
Overall I loved staying here and will definetely return in a refurbished apartment.

I would recommend Villa do Golf, we were so pleased with our stay, it exceeded our expectations! We booked a premium one bedroom apartment and when we arrived we were upgraded to a two bedroom apartment as they thought it would be more comfortable for us as we have two children. The staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough for us. We also enjoyed the pool area and the pool snack bar. Lovely place we will definitely be returning!

This resort is one of the best we have stayed at through RCI exchange and our only complaint would be the location. It is some distance from the ocean and beaches but a couple of kilometres from the Rio Formosa which has walking trails and a boardwalk access to get to the ocean. That is difficult for those with mobility concerns. Unless you play golf, there are limited activities at the resort during the off season. Staff were wonderful and very helpful and the unit was very clean. You would need a car to make the most out of this location near Almancil.
