Beautiful holiday village with numerous pools, bars, restaurants and even a well stocked shop. Great for tourists if your looking for a relaxing holiday abroad. Location is close to Faro airport so easy access with Uber and walkable to the marina or beaches for days out. All of the staff at receptions and working the pools are really nice too. Reception has information on local days out/things to do such as waterparks, aquariums or a tourist land train. This place is definitely family friendly and has a really safe feel. Lots of children enjoying the pools and even some play equipment dotted around the village. However, I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a more authentic trip to Portugal. Most tourists here are English and it's spoken perfectly by staff (the pool side speaker also constantly plays English pop music). The restaurants mainly sell foods like pizzas and burgers as well as even a full English breakfast in the mornings. This of course is not a bad thing at all, but not representative of authentic Portugal. Overall this could either be the perfect holiday destination for you or the complete opposite of what your looking for. If you want to experience sunny weather, refreshing pools and happy hour drinks without the stress of language barriers or the worry of leaving behind home comforts like English cuisine - booking a trip away here would be perfect for you. But if you are looking to experience the real Portuguese culture and lifestyle I would consider other places, this place would definitely feel like a slice of England just moved abroad into sunnier weather. Even outside of the holiday village (into Vilamoura) finding authentic Portuguese restaurants/food has proved challenging and again there is a very "England if we had better weather" kind of vibe. Not to say the surrounding area isn't stunning, because it is but definitely just lacks authenticity due to the nature of the people who visit here.

What a great place it is clean and safe. The houses are amazing and there are good restaurants and bars here. Also a mini supermarket. You can book trips and tours from here and uber is a godsend Three pools and much more. Food is very good. Would recommend 100%

Absolutely stunning village, pools are clean and staff are great. Happy hour is amazing value and if you want to go around the bars it's pretty much 10am -9pm. At time of writing €2.20 for a pint of San Miguel. The supermarket on site is a decent price and there are Spars within 10mins walk anyway. Very close to the marina, you can be there in 15mins walking or use the train which is €5 return and tours the local area too and is lovely.

Whent here last week, full of pubs restaurants. We went at lunchtime, plenty of people around food top class. Didn't go at evening time but would say it would be a really nice place to be.

You won't find a better looking apartment complex in Vilamoura. Great accommodation, 5 restaurants, 3 pools and a supermarket. Located in the middle of the Pinhal cold course. Walking distance to the beach and Marina. Recommended.
