Staff very friendly. There are only about 15 or so villas in this complex that has a pool and a bar/bistro. There is a shop and a nice restaurant only a walk away. Its a quite area and feels safe. This is our second time here and more than likely book here again. There is no problem hanging by the pool all day if you are waitibg for later flight as we were. We changed in the spotless bar before transfers arrived. Happy days!

Fabulous holiday
We arrived at Prado Villas late at night so the welcome pack was a nice touch. The villa was lovely and had everything needed for a really comfortable stay, all very modern and clean. The pool and garden areas were beautiful couldn’t ask for any better. The staff were all very friendly and helpful accommodating all of our needs, even allowing us to check out later. The area was a 30 min stroll from the marina and nearest supermarket 10 mins, but taxis were reasonable approx 6 euros to marina. If you want to have a night in there was a snack bar with a variety of meals. Will definitely return here couldn’t have wished for a better holiday.

Small, quiet, well maintained complex
Nice quiet complex of only 18 apartments in groups of three. Well maintained grounds with plenty of space around each apartment. The apartment had been recently refurbished and was very good with excellent wifi. The staff were really nice and very helpful. Overall an excellent location and apartment.

Glorious peace & quiet
A truly relaxing place to celebrate our 36th wedding anniversary. Extremely well appointed villa in well laid out gardens and nice and warm, considering it's late January! Only down side of January is that so many local restaurants are closed for the 'season' but the excellent kitchen makes self catering a dream. Really looking for criticism, the lighting in the en-suite was unfinished with bare wires in the ceiling but that was in no way a problem. Advice: do have a hire car! It is only a era pleasant 30 minute walk to town but if you want a decent food shop you really need the 7 minute drive to the nearest hypermarket rather than the Intermarche or Spa which are closer.

Lovely spacious villas, clean and friendly staff.
Quite a walk into Vilamoura marina but a lovely quiet setting next to the golf course. The villa was clean and spacious just due a little modernising which we discovered will be done in 2017, however they were equipped with everything you would need. The pool and bar/food area was lovely with very friendly staff. Always plenty of sun loungers available. I would highly recommend this place for a peaceful getaway!!

Had a lovely relaxing week at the villa. It was clean, spacious, had all the essentials needed, good shower with plenty of hot water. The pool was lovely, clean and never too cold. There were always plenty of sun loungers available. Although the villa was quite a walk from Vilamoura Marina it was in such a beautiful peaceful setting, with butterflies fluttering about, birds tweeting and flying around, just perfect!! The staff were all very welcoming and helpful too.

Good value, but be prepared!
Complex built in 60s.2 bedroom tariff villas are recently renovated and well equipped. One bedroom tariff villas are the 2 bedroom villas in their original state, which means the kitchen especially is in a dilapidated state, and the bedrooms and bathroom tired. However, the price reflects their condition and represents good value. Beautifully laid out site.

Be prepared and hire a car
As previous visitors have stated Prado Villas are more than ready for a refurbishment. On the plus side everything worked ok and the new air con units were a bonus. The kitchen was well equipped. The staff were really nice and helpful. However the fridge in the villa had some rusty shelves and the freezer inside cover was broken off. The pool was a health hazard until it was cleaned after nine days or so but in all fairness there was some bad weather. There are a family of cats which are a nuisance as it is impossible to eat outside on the terrace or leave any doors or windows open as they are constantly begging for food and trying to get inside. Putting the negatives to one side we still had a lovely holiday and were comfortable enough and I am sure if the management update the accommodation and sort out more security they could do really well. The location is so nice but a car is advisable as there is nothing much nearby.

Lovely apartment, easy to organise with Expedia, two things that could be improved, the communication you get regarding the out of hours key collection for the aprtment, we had to contact the aprtments ourself from the UK, (far easier to do this than contact Expedia). The company who experia used for transfers, we were told it was EV tours, couldn't get hold of them to find out what to expect at the airport, also they were part of a bigger organisation which took some finding out about at Faro airport on arrival, and they didn't bother picking us up from the apartment (even after arranging it the day before), for the transfer to the airport, had to get ourselves a taxi in a rush was a bit stressful.

Good value villa - Lovely Location
For the price this was good value, standard villa with air conditioning throughout. Two good sized rooms meant that we were not cramped up with the kids (5 and 7 yrs) in the same room during the evening, main bathroom very dated which was the biggest let down but you get what you pay for I guess. The outside area also needs a little TLC as it is a little rough around the edges but it certainly does not define Prado Villas in my opinion. Isabelle at the reception was a pleasure to deal with and made us feel really welcome during our stay The villa complex was quiet during most of our stay and there was only around 4 people in the large pool at any one time my, children loved this as they had the pool to them selves. We were also able to use the pool facilities at the nearby Prado do Golf which also has a bar which was ok for lunch with the kids. The Prado Villa complex is quite a walk from the marina area, ok for me and my wife but too much for the kids fortunately I had hired a car and was able to drive close to the marine area when needed. Vilamoura is a wonderful town with some lovely restaurants and great beaches. I personally did not find anything too expensive, certainly no more than in the UK. If you are looking for civilized accommodation and town then this may be the place for you. If all you want is super cheap swill and loads of uncouth Brits then look elsewhere. All in all I would definitely visit Prado Villas again and I am not the easiest person to please!

Very nice villa complex for quiet break
Perfect if you are looking for a relaxing break away. A bit of a walk to the nearest shops and the marina but taxis can always be found at the nearby hilton hotel. Villa was in great condition and kept very clean and insect free. The reception staff are very friendly and super helpful. Would definitely return again in the future.

Best have a car for this one !
These bungalows are in a lovely setting/ gardens etc. The complex is quite far from the centre/marina in Vilamoura and requires a taxi ride (5-6 euros) each way, or a hire car. The surrounding area is all residential with no supermarkets/ coffee shops etc. within easy reach. This rather disappointed us as we like to have a coffee and "watch the world go by" mid morning, or pop to the local shop for fresh rolls each day. On average it cost us 12-14 euro per return trip to the marina each evening to eat out/ collect food supplies. The reception staff were pleasant and helpful although reception is only open 09.00-13.00 and 14.00-18.00 Monday to Friday. The maid service is twice weekly, but I only had clean sheets once in 14 days and towels get changed twice a week. The bungalow we had was ok, a bit tired and a few fittings were in need of repair. It was however very clean and had the basics for a holiday. (there were the usual Ants which were seen off with a spray, and a good few cats who were always on the look out for an open door!) For the price it was as good as you could expect and very peaceful in a nice area, but a bit further from amenities than we would have preferred.

Amazing atmosphere
Could not have asked for a better get away! The atmosphere was incredible. The villas were very large with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The kitchen was awesome as well and we did a lot of cooking while in our villa. The cats outside were very interested in us the first day but left us alone after that. We spent a lot of time lounging by the pool and swimming. We had the villa to ourself for one of the days because it was mid-week and the off season so that was great! Very helpful staff :)

Value for money
The accommodation is dated but spacious. The location is residential, the nearest shop is approximately 15 min walk, the marina is a 30 min walk away. We had a lovely relaxing stay, weather in February was great. The trips reception have on offer are expensive, we booked an all day coach trip near the marina and saved 18 euros per person. Complimentary wi fi was only available outside reception and connection was slow and unreliable.

Nice little self-catering place
This is a lovely little place if you only need somewhere to sleep and cook a few meals. We stayed for a week at the end of October with our 4yr old son who loved it. Yes it is a bit old and dated like the reviewers have said, however, that doesn't stop you getting a good night's sleep, or cooking a meal. Th3 2 bedroom villas are aopen plan and are quite spacious. The bedrooms are large too, and you have one with an en-suite and then there is a main bathroom with double sink. Remember this is no frills, and although extraa blankets are provided in the closets, you will not get extra pillows, only one per twin, so depending on your preferences, you may want to bring along a few. Towels are provided. There are heaters, however one did not work in Villa no. 13 where we stayed, and we did need some heating at night considering the time of year. The swimming pool is very clean but not heated, so not ideal at this time of year. Isabel on reception is lovely, and does her best to accommodate any requests that you may have. There is also free wi-fi access in and around the reception area. We braved it one day, but said that was enough for the rest of the holiday. It is a little far from the shops and marina for litlle legs, but he did well to walk down every down most days, and then we got a taxi back for around 5 euros. There are plenty of buses that can take you to Faro or neighbouring towns. All in all, we had a lovely time, and cannot complain. We would return again.

Perfect for a getaway on a budget!
Second time we've stayed at Prado Villas, it's not the Hilton but it is round the corner! Villas are clean but basic with full kitchen facilities, they can get chilly at night out of season so extra blankets are a bonus. Close to the centre of Vilamoura but the lively resort of Albufeira is just a 20 minute drive away. As a golfer you are perfectly placed to get to any of the area'scourses. Overall very happy again with our stay, Isabel (the manager) is very welcoming too.

A 'Get away from it all' holiday..
Peaceful, Beautiful and spotlessly clean. Yes, a few things need attention but the important things are right. We enjoyed ourselves and intend to return. Half an hour on foot to the marina. Quarter hour to the nearest supermarket. We felt a car was necessary, younger, fitter people might disagree.

Excellent value!
Staff were friendly and helpful, especially Isobel in the office. The villa was spacious and included good features ie family bathroom had 2 washbasins, bidet, wc and bath with shower. The villa needs some TLC having faulty mirrored bedroom door, cupboards in kitchen need readjusted and needs repainting. However none of these faults were major and didn't stop us having a wonderful holiday in Villamoura.

Excellent value for money
Although some of the fixtures and fittings are a little worn this is reflected in the price, the villa was spotlessly clean and very well equipped although you may want to bring soap, flannel and a hairdryer. This holiday accommodation is for people who enjoy peace and quiet and enjoy entertaining themselves. Reception is open during office hours, if you arrive after it closes your instructions will be in an envelope on the door. There is a supermarket a couple of minutes drive away where you can pick up drinks and snacks to enjoy by the large pool which is surrounded by well kept gardens. A family of friendly black cats visited us daily and brought us luck in the casino at villamoura! The casino is open from 3pm no membership required and no dress code, plenty of 1c, 2c, 5, and 10c slots including cleopatra, white orchid and many british favourites. This is an ideal place for a relaxing out of season break and electric fires are provided for the cooler evenings.
