Reviews for Vilar Do Golf
Review 1:We arrived late at night. However staff were very helpful. Especially when we lost our way coming from the airport and had to telephone them for directions
Review 2:Villas just slightly dated could do with an overhaul . Think a washing machine more important in one bedroomed villas than a dishwasher,
Review 3:Pool area and daily fitness activities were a pleasant surprise. Villas accessible and clean
Review 4:Accommodation very dated and in need of updating.
Review 5:Resort is excellent but the property is very dark, dated and depressing. Looks like nothing has been done to it since the 1970s. Accommodation very poor in comparison to the ones owed by Diamond on the resort.
Review 6:There is possibly a range of villas and ours was at the lower end. It was tired and needed some attention. No matter how reasonable the price is, do not expect to see cockroaches in the kitchen nor stains on the bedroom carpets. Given that you have to pay for WIFI, it's reasonable, I believe, to expect a semi-decent standard of connection, that was not the case. Connection was horrendous
Review 7:The pool area was very nice and the grounds were very well maintained. The setting of Bobby Jones restaurant is gorgeous.
Review 8:Some areas of the villas could use a little attention - bathrooms mainly with paint peeling off walls, leaking shower hose...
Review 9:Excellent location, good facilities within the resort and well equipped villas
Review 10:Sofa bed was pretty uncomfortable. Wifi slightly complicated
Review 11:Great facilities for the kids and adults, great activities, satellite tv service is excellent, super safe surrounding area. Really felt comfortable and safe with 2 young kids at all times. Really recommend it to anyone with a young family. The location is superb
Review 12:1. The house seems to have been locked up for a long time. Smelled musty but after opening the windows and sliding doors, it was ok. It would have been nice to be escorted by someone at reception or that the house was ventilated before we arrived. 2. Since the house was not used for a long time, the water came out brown (rusty/dirty) and we had to run it for a few minutes before using it. Would have been great if someone had done it before we arrived. 3. Dishes and glasses were clean but dusty and needed a wash since house was closed up for so long. 4. The restaurants are poor quality. They are a total miss. Cheap, cheap, food. Not golf clubhouse worthy. Breakfast restaurant also poor. 5. Insufficient staff at all restaurants. 6. The MUSIC at the Bobby Jones clubhouse. Awful. Yeah, some people danced, but, it was either that or hang. Surely, the music can improve. With such a captive audience, this place has room for a LOT of improvement. it's a great place that is suffering slow neglect.
Review 13:1. Availability of 2 and 3 bedroom houses for bigger families or if traveing with elderly parents. 2. On-site supermarket, restaurant, parking, pools, etc. 3. Quality garden furniture. 4. Fully equiped kitchen. 5. Enough linens and towels.
Review 14:The Villa itself No. 142 (and others that I saw in the same category)is tired. The furnishing is tired, the bed uncomfortable, the wardrobes,doors etc...all very outdated.Need a thorough makeover
Review 15:Loved the location Loved the serenity supported by nature Loved the private nature of the villas loved the convenience to the beach, KoKO lane, Quinta shopping
Review 16:Six of us (4 adults and 2 children) shared a 2 bed standard accommodation for one night. Everything was great apart from the sofa 'bed' which my wife and I slept on. It was totally unsuitable having only a very thin mattress. We then moved to a diamond apartment and this was significantly better and the sofa bed was very comfortable.
Review 17:Location Surroundings Pools and Leisure Facilities
Review 18:mosquito bites
Review 19:staff very friendly and helpful. very safe resort. lots to do in and around the resort. local supermarket for odds and ends. Nice restaurant on site and lots more in local area.
Review 20:Poor WiFi Connection away from main admin. area.
Review 21:Everything, friendly and helpful staff. Great food and drinks at Bobby Jones Restaurant. Jose is a star.
Review 22:The Accomodation was in very poor condition . The lock on the Bathroom door was broken . Also the AC in the second bedroom was broken . In addition the furnishings were jaded and very old . I would hope that my Villa was one of the worst in the Complex , otherwise your company is in serious trouble .
Review 23:Location .
Review 24:Didn't like waking up with the noise of the garden irrigation system during the night and waking up again at around 7 am with the first airplane taking off the nearby Faro airport. There was no daily cleaning: cleaned 3 times in a 8 nights stay, although there was daily litter removal. Very expensive wifi access. Villa with an outdated decoration. Not within walking distance from the beach. Didn't like the mosquitoes and midges at night.
Review 25:Great surroundings, with well-trimmed gardens and a view of the golf course. Large pool with a naturally shaded area (pine trees) with lounge chairs. Villa with all household appliances required for cooking/washing.
Review 26:The noise from the Saturday night disco! Started at 11pm and went on until 2am with a thumping beat which made it impossible to sleep. Ruined our stay unfortunately
Review 27:The accommodation was very good, comfortable and clean with a very nice outdoor area. The pool complex is great, especially for young children as is the play area. Staff at the pool and the pool restaurant very nice and helpful
Review 28:Very uncomfortable sofa bed (description says it sleeps 4 so I would expect to be able to sleep on it!) Unfortunately someone had a party in their villa the night we stayed and I got woken at 2.30 am by revellers walking home!!
Review 29:Location to pool and shops
Review 30:Could be improved for using bikes (all of Quinta do lago would benefit from biking lanes )
Review 31:Quietness, not crowded. Good balance of activities for kids near pool. Wonderful gardens and outside areas on each villa.
Review 32:The apartment was so old, small and dark. The photos I saw on the website were for the diamond premier apartments which looked lovely also they were trying to sell as time share weeks, were nothing like the one that we were given. We felt we had gone back 20 years. It had that old musty smell a lick of paint wouldn't have gone a miss! The guy at reception seamed to know what I was talking about as he said I didn't book the premier one??? There was no others available to change to. It spoilt what was our 25th wedding anniversary week getting the teenagers together.
Review 33:The gardens were well maintained. The pool was clean.
Review 34:Minor point but gym area not ventilated well, was far too warm at times. Indoor pool needed swimming caps to be worn, put us off going in which was a shame.
Review 35:Location and villa were fantastic, if a little dated in furnishings. Pool was excellent with shaded grass area. Enjoyed by all of us, from mature to teenage years.
Review 36:No complaints, would recommend hiring a car as it is very reasonable & handy for local trips. Sat Nav was great & worth the extra money.
Review 37:Quinta do lago is a beautiful area with plenty to do. Vilar do golf was everything we wished for and more. Wonderful place for children, comfortable safe accommadation & great kids club. Very relaxing happy atmosphere!
Review 38:Having to climb the equivalent of 5 Flights of Stairs to get to our Accomodation. . Also having to pay for the Key to the safe .
