Pestana Vila Sol

Great looking resort and superb inner pool. The staff: fantastic. The king size bed - beautiful!

All great, just a small remark on: - loudy air conditioning in the room - no fresh orange juice at breakfast

All the staff were couteous, but Fernando (bar) and Ramiro (waiter) were outstanding.

The Pestana Vila Sol Hotel is so convenient for golf at the Vila Sol Golf Club, which is literally a few minutes walk. The courses (3 x 9 hole courses) are great, and the clubhouse, food and staff were excellent. The staff in the hotel were very friendly, especially Miguel, the bar manager, who was always smiling and very efficient. We did not stay in the main hotel, but in one of the rooms in the gardens. The bed was huge and the pillows were perfect. Both were so comfortable. The bathroom was also large. The room had good air conditioning and WiFi, and a patio. We ate out every evening, and it was easy to get a taxi into Vilamoura (10 mins and €10) and back again. Lunch at the poolside was just ok, although the burger with cheese and bacon (which was also on the menu at the golf club) was amazing. We would go again to this hotel if we were playing golf.

The pool was very cold and the sun beds not particularly comfortable The room was not particularly well lit in the evenings when we were getting ready to go out. I would prefer to stay in the main hotel if I go again. We were not keen on the “English” breakfast, i.e. bacon and sausages, but there was plenty of other choices and the coffee was lovely.
