Vale Judeu Holidays

Lovely little hotel tucked up side street minutes from the square but far enough away to not be disturbed by night life noise. The hotel is a little dated but it was spotless the water was hot air con and WiFi was excellent. Lovely little pool on the roof with a few sunbeds you can basically do what you want. Breakfast is very basic it’s fine for me as I don’t really do breakfast but if you like your traditional fry up then there are plenty of restaurants in the square to chose from. We hired a car and parking was tight near the hotel but at the top of the road was two large carparks. The owners fernando and his wife are lovely and helpful I will be returning later in the year. Good restaurants are ones in the square and through the tunnel to catch the little train go to the end of the beach and go up the escalators the train stop it at the top. They do take cards.

I liked having the adult only pool area.

A beautifully situated and well appointed boutique hotel graced with courteous, efficient, multilingual staff. The pool and decking is framed with magnificent Mediterranean pines and rosemary. Gym is well equipped and the breakfast buffet abundant. Bedlinen is the finest, softest most silken cotton and the pillows provide a sweet slumber. Clientele in July was a mix of Portuguese ( a good sign when you stay in a country that its own people choose it) and some English, Irish and Italians. Guests were mostly well behaved.

We had a lovely time at Longevity Health and Wellbeing. The staff were incredibly helpful however, when the Spa receptionist was asked if there was a lift, she abruptly said no, as Longevity is trying to encourage people to exercise. We totally understand this is the theme of the hotel but it felt as though those who are not as able or fit were not welcome. The breakfast was lovely, with lots of choice and lovely fresh ingredients. The rooms were also really well presented. Thanks to everyone at the main reception who always made us feel welcome. And the lady with the beautiful smile who greeted us in the breakfast area, thank you. Susan
