Four Seasons Vilamoura

As you enter via the front gate you are drawn instantly to the cleanliness and perfectly maintained grounds. You are given a warm welcome by the staff (it’s unfortunate that there has been such a turnaround of staff in such a relatively short time. There is something reassuring about seeing familiar faces) who efficiently and effectively register your stay and arrange the transfer of your luggage to your apartment. The apartment is always spotless and equally welcoming. The servicing of the apartment is frequent and efficient. I would say that the kitchen and bathrooms are looking a little tired as are some of the appliances. The furnishings are very comfortable and look modern and uplifting compared to the previous style. The restaurant and bar seemed more popular this year. The quality of the food was generally good. The recently refurbished pools and bathing areas are a great improvement and lift the ambience of the whole area. All in all Four Seasons Vilamoura continues to be a lovely place to visit and enjoy the experience .

We had a fantastic stay at Four Seasons Vilamoura and wouldn’t hesitate to return.

Before we arrived, I contacted the hotel to ask if an early check-in might be possible as we had an early flight. They explained that the apartment was still occupied but would do their best to accommodate us. When we arrived, they gave us pool towels and pointed us to the changing rooms so we could get changed and enjoy the pool while we waited. About an hour later, they messaged me on WhatsApp to say our apartment was ready, meaning we checked in around four hours earlier than the normal check-in time. It was a great start to our holiday.

We stayed in a two-bedroom apartment, which was very spacious, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. It was well equipped, even including dishwasher tablets and washing machine detergent, which was a thoughtful touch.

There were lots of little extras that made our stay special, such as complimentary ice-cold flannels and fresh fruit skewers handed out around the pool during the day. The pool bar offered a good selection of drinks and snacks, all at very reasonable prices.

Every member of staff we encountered was friendly, welcoming and genuinely helpful. The whole hotel was immaculately clean and very well maintained.

We are a family of four with two teenage children, and we never had any trouble finding four sun loungers together, regardless of what time we went to the pool. That was a huge bonus during the busy summer season.

The marina was about a 15-minute walk away on a straightforward route. Because it was so hot, we often got an Uber there for around €5, then enjoyed walking back in the cooler evenings.

The breakfasts were very good with plenty of choice, and on a few occasions we had lunch at the hotel, which was delicious and excellent value for money.

Overall, we had a wonderful holiday. The excellent service, spotless facilities, thoughtful touches and relaxed atmosphere really made this hotel stand out. I would highly recommend Four Seasons Vilamoura and would happily stay here again.

We have now been coming here for 31 years and the standards have never dropped. The resort is always well presented and the apartments have everything you need for a comfortable stay. We love the peace in the evenings and you never have a problem getting a lounger. The heart and soul of the place is the staff. Breakfast is our favourite, with everything you need including a fantastic omelet which has been prepared for us every year by the same member of staff. We are greeted every morning by Emily and Punan who feel like old friends and work extremely hard. There is always a warm welcome in reception from Ana Marie and Josias, and it was lovely to meet a newcomer Paul who complimented the team well. The cleanliness in the apartments never falters and the cleaners are very accommodating. We know the area well now and the location is excellent for accessing all amenities. The resort has great general rules which ensure the noise level is kept to a minimum and this all helps to keep the resort to its exceptional standard. If you try visiting Four Seasons Villamoura, you will definitely not be disappointed.
