Everything was absolutely fine - the only negative was that our apartment was a little 'tired', could do with refurbishing to match the standard of the rest of the resort, but we would still go back tomorrow!

Nice apartments, lots of space and very comfortable. Would be better if nearer the golf courses but only a 15-20 min walk

Fantastic complex overall, only blips apartment quite isolated & required us to constantly have to book a 10 mins shuttle ride to get to any of the amenities ie: courses, Praca, & supermarkets etc. Though in fairness the shuttles were very prompt & the drivers extremely courteous. Only other gripe was the pool & gym advertised to us were both closed Would also like to thank your golf travel & Jay Conroy in particular this was my first venture into a golfing break & have to say Jay guided us through the whole process with absolute professionalism & courtesy

The apartment was very comfortable there were 2 bedrooms with 2 twin beds in each room. Very hard to find fault with the comfort levels and the actual location of the apartment.

Upgraded to small Villa with own plunge pool, accommodation was way above what we expected. Drinks obviously expensive. Supermarket on site. Free mini bus takes you around the complex. Everything is extremely well organised. TM M4 & M6 hire clubs. Couldn't fault it.

Great apartment and the transport bus was very efficient. Could walk to and from restaurants.

From the minute we walked through the door, the staff couldn't do enough for us. We arrived early so that we could play a round of golf, but couldn't check in to apartment until 3pm. Put our bags away safely for us and did the paperwork. After golf, collected our key and drove to apartment. Facilities at apartment were 1st Class, better than most hotels we have stayed at. Everything we needed was provided, including a welcome pack of bread, milk, tea, and coffee. Apartment very spacious with big TV and also wifi. Apartment was 15 minute walk from centre, but there was a free taxi service if we wanted it, just pick up phone and it was immediately there. Only used Spikes bar, food was pretty reasonable and varied menu, priced about what we expected. Again, everyone bent over backwards to be helpful. Checkout was very very quick and easy.

What a fantastic location, surroundings and place. From start to finish everything was perfect and as a frequent traveller that is rare. The apartment was spotless and a free private shuttle is arranged from the course to your apartment with no hassle. The club house is lovely, food and drinks amazing though slightly pricey but this can be expected due to the location. Service is quick and always with a smile. The club has showers and free towels so you can freshen up between rounds and everything is spotless. My 3 stars on the facilities is only down to them having a driving range that you cannot hit more than a 9 iron (160m long) and it only has 6 bays. There is one bar/restaurant at the club house which is lovely however is quite expensive. We had 3 bacon toasties and 1 posh greek yogurt with 4 drinks and it was 70 euro. however don't let this put you off.In the evening there is a free mini bus service from your apartment. Simply dial 9 and within 5 minutes you are collected and drop anywhere in the resort. The local square has around 6 restaurants to cater for all tastes. An average meal was around 60 euro per person based on 4. There was no nightlife in Vale Do Lobo in March however I have been in August and it's a complete contrast. If you want something more you can head to Vilamoura in a Uber for 12 euro. All in all it was a fantastic trip and look forward to going back. On a final note we had unlimited golf which was well worth it. We played 18 holes in the morning, finishing around 2.00pm, then had some lunch and a few beers and then played a different course around 5pm and managed to get 9 holes in. Getting back out was no problem and free buggies were always available.

Very clean and tidy everything you need for a golf stay in the apartment sky sports was a plus as well as free wifi. Choice of restaurants was small on site but that was due to all of them on the Praca weren't open yet, food was lovely in spikes bar and staff was brilliant couldnt do enough to help us. Definitely go back.

We stayed in an apartment which was very comfortable and spacious. There was a basic welcome pack sufficient for breakfast which was great. Free resort bus worked really well so all the facilities were readily available

Out apartment was very nice. It was clean and had a basic welcome pack with milk, bread, tea & coffee. All the kitchen equipment was in good working order. The staff at the resort reception were efficient & friendly. The restaurant was lovely & the staff were very friendly & helpful. The breakfast was very good & set us up for a good morning of golf. We did not hire a car so we used the resort bus to get back & fore from our apartment. All the drivers were helpful and friendly at all times. The resort is very large so the bus was vital in getting to the reception were the golf office is situated.

Better than expected.

My group of 12 have just returned from a weeks trip to Vale do Lobo. I have been organizing these trips for over 20 years and I would say that the YGT offer for Vale do Lobo is the best deal ever! In fact I rang Nick Hall direct to make sure it wasn’t a mistake. The deal consisted 7 nights accommodation in a link detached villa, which was very well equipped.We even had a pool! 7 rounds of golf on the Royal and Ocean courses, including buggies. We also had club rental included for Taylormade M4 clubs! Even our two best players who are 6 and 7 handicaps left their blades at home. For those who have not been to VDL it is a large site but the resort has a minibus pickup from anywhere on site. Normally they are with you in 5 minutes or so. There are a few bars and restaurants open in February but if you want a livelier time you may have to taxi to nearby Quinta do Lago. To top it all we qualified for a Taylormade M4 driver which our group had a draw for.

One bed apartment very tired and in need of upgrading, would not choose this option again. Continuous calls made for housekiiping to replace consumables.

Staff at the resort were very friendly and helpful Apartment was great, resort bus to transit you around the resort and only a 5 minute wait.

It was just perfect!

Our accommodation was self catering and we did not use the bars and restaurants so unable to give a rating for them

8 / 10

The apartment was very spacious and had lots of facilities such as dishwasher,microwave, washing machine. The nice touch was the milk, bread, coffee and tea left for us. However, the apartment did look tired and really needed re decorating, especially the bathroom

8 / 10

Quite a large complex, but the internal "resort bus " system works well, and is easy to use. Apartment was spotless, ans had everything one could ask for. Nice outdoor terrace too. Two lovely and challenging but fair courses, with very helpful and knowledgeable staff.

May I say that every body in my group including my self could not fault this trip in any way the Royal and Ocean courses were superb offering us some breathtaking views and good golf all the staff were extremely helpful and polite
