8.6/10 Excellent! (521 reviews)

Had a fantastic stay at Vidamar Resort Algarve, a really easy and quick check in. Got our room keys, and hired two towels (fee was repaid upon check-out) and the room was spacious, well lit and all appliances worked too! The shower was spacious, and the mirror was well lit. Very comfy bed, and a spare pillow was in the room if needed also. Balcony gave great views onto the golf course next door, with little to no road noise, and even through the massive windows, the sun was well blocked out by the blackout curtains. Breakfast was a very good selection, from full English to meats and cheeses and eggs cooked to your own preference. Didn't try out the buffet evening meal, so can't comment on that. Swimming pool was well attended at all times by life guards, and there were plenty of sun loungers, bean bags and parasols for everyone to have their own space. Staff were always pleasant, and our room was clean. Would come back again, for sure!

9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,002 reviews)

This is an older hotel, but I really enjoyed my stay. The staff provided great hospitality and were knowledgeable about the area with great suggestions. The building needs new carpet, or better yet, new non-carpeted floors. It would also be nice to have slippers. Bed was comfy and view was beautiful. Breakfast buffet and environment were nice too. Pool area was clean and enjoyable, as was the poolside lunch/snack area. And the location is one of the best in Olhao, overlooking Rio Formosa! This hotel is due for a renovation, but the vibe is so good that it makes up for it. I would stay here again.
