“The Resort was amazing, lovely gardens, spa, pools and good beach access. There are two very good restaurants and a pool snack bar so you really don't have to leave the Resort if you don't want too. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were looking for a relaxing long weekend away and that is exactly what we got. There is no real town or city center right next to this hotel, however there is a small town close by and easy to get to by car or you can hike along a coastal trail, which we did do.” Read more

“Where do I start? One of the most amazing resorts we have stayed at. The staff, the service, the amenities, the rooms and everything else was exceptional. Ines at check in was wonderful and helped us with everything we needed. Everyone for breakfast, lunch and dinner were amazing. Fabio X3 and everyone else in the dining room and pool patio were exceptional. The Dive bar attendants were awesome too. If you want to have an amazing time when visiting Portugal, this is the place to stay.” Read more

“Staff was lovely. Super relaxing from beginning to end. Fantastic big rooms, giant towels, rain shower, fluffy robes and slippers. Lovely big balcony with comfy couch and table and chairs with great view. The woman who cleaned our room anticipated our needs (noticed we brought a cover to the balcony from the bed one evening and so the next evening gave us a proper blanket to use, etc.). Nice pool and beach. Well located to go exploring to nearby towns.” Read more

“Our stay at the Vilalara was first rate. Although not inexpensive, given the location and amenities, this is a value. Breakfast each day overlooking the Atlantic was excellent. Beach was clean and organized. Three pool options. We did not eat dinner at the resort; we choose to sample the dining options around the area, all of whom where very good to excellent. Several Michelin rated options to choose. Fresh fish each day. The locals are proud of their wines and it shows. Best to sample wines from Portugal, as there are many choices. A couple of things to note- if you have limited abilities for walking, this may not be your choice. 120+ steps from the beach to the main level, then a continuing climb to the suites. Also, water temperatures were cool during our stay(late Sept/early Oct)19C/67F. Pools were 22C/72F. Other than those two issues, I suggest you go to the Algarve, and this resort in particular. ” Read more
