Zalamea la Real Holidays

We really enjoyed our stay here! The amenities were excellent, and the location made it an easy home base for visiting Faro and Lagos. Vilamoura itself is also a beautiful town to explore—definitely take an Uber or Bolt to the marina, it’s worth it! The beds were super comfortable, and having a mini kitchen was a great bonus. Our only complaint was the shower drainage, but management was quick to respond and had a plumber in to improve it, which we really appreciated. Overall, a great stay and we’d definitely come back again.

It was cozy and very close to many restaurants and grocery stores The staff were extremely helpful I usually don’t bother with ratings but this place definitely deserves some accolades 👏👏👏

Stayed here in August with my husband and 6 year old for 12 nights. The rooms are modern, clean and beds very comfortable. The pool was the highlight, it's huge, with 2 smaller kids pools. Plenty of sun loungers and nice fresh towels every day - so no need to bring any. The breakfast was fantastic! We paid for the buffet one evening which was very expensive and I wasn't impressed with the food at all. The Italian restaurant was nice but overpriced. The hotel is located next to the beach which is great but we discovered all of the sun loungers had reserved signs on them so we couldn't stay long with no shade. There really isn't much around the hotel at all, we ended up paying quite a bit to go into albuferia in the evenings. Overall we loved the hotel itself but wouldn't go back due to the location and very overpriced food and drinks.

Pros: On a beautiful relatively quiet plaza. Staff is excellent. Restaurant on site had great food with excellent service. In a great central location. Nicely furnished apartment suites with terrace. Cons: There was an odor in building 3- smelled like pipes/sewer. We were moved to building 2; the hotel upgraded us to a larger apartment- No odor there. But you can smell at times it throughout the old city. Overall: Very nice stay. Would recommend.
