5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 May 2013 NEW

We have just stayed here for four nights, two adults and a 16 month old. The 'villas' are lovely, very well equipped with full kitchen utensils, tea towels, microwave, dish washer, washing machine. You do need to provide your own washing up liquid/dishwasher tablets/cloth which is fair enough. Bathrooms have bath towels, hand towels, and face cloths, and free mini... More

We have just returned to the UK after 10 days at Vale Da Lapa resort and we were not disappointed at all, recommend to us by a friend and we would return! A lovely resort but it is the staff that go out of the way to ensure you have a nice relaxing and trouble free holiday!

You wont be disappointed staying here. The 'Deluxe suites' really are 'Deluxe houses' plenty of room, fitted kitchen, tv's in lounge and each bedroom, dining area, 2 en-suite bedrooms with robes, towels ( changed daily) & toiletries provided. Balcony up & down makes this an ideal place to relax. However, the frogs from the stream & lake are really very... More

We arrived for a five day break with two small children, on an all-inclusive basis. The hotel is a 40 minute drive from Faro airport. It was possible to park the car outside our villa. The complex is made up of villas, most of which do not have their own pool, and share a larger pool and children's pool. We... More

We stayed in a 3 bedroom villa. There were 3 adults and two small children. Lots of space outdoors in a safe environment for children to play while the adults could relax. The villa was claned every day and the staff were friendly. The facilities on site were adequate but not extensive and there was a real shortage of staff... More

I keep reading other trip advisor reviews of this resort and I am not sure those people have stayed at the same resort, it is truly superb. We were all inclusive and the service, food quality and presentation was faultless. I certainly did not experience any comical activity anywhere, perhaps it would be useful to learn some of the language... More

The Hotel more than surpassed our expectations and we would return to this resort, without hesitation. After a simple and efficient check in, we were given a 'resort map' to guide us to our accommodation. We were in a car and the road system on site is one-way, so it's virtually idiot proof! We stayed in Suite 21 and it... More

We booked a short stay on what was our first trip to the Vale da Lapa and we were both absolutely delighted. Firstly upon check-in the guy on reception was really polite, informative and willing to help. Then upon viewing our accommodation we were stunned at how nice it was. Not only clean but everything was to a high standard.... More

Husband and I also had the great deal of 4 nights - so good we are thinking of going again. Very quiet at this time of year but the temperature was great for someone who loves sunshine without being burning hot. Accommodation is terrific, just small niggles which we could put up with, and reported when we left for them... More
