Staff were lovely, particularly around the pool & pool bar area.
Reception & Shop all very good. Setting was great and the resort had a really good feel about it...
BUT...
The villa (No.26) was shocking.
It was dull, dark, had no useable outside area and was simply somewhere you do not want to spend time...;
Very old fashioned, terrible lighting, really dull and just in need of a revamp...
I spend a fair bit of time in this region of Portugal (Almancil, Quinta do Lago & Vale do Lobo) & have been fortunate enough to stay at Four Seasons Country Club, Four Seasons Fairways, the Conrad, all of which are within walking distance of Vilar do Golf.., and all are infinitely better. Okay, I hear you say, maybe they cost more, well not necessarily
We booked a premium room for 3 nights and the per night rate was equally matched by 2 of the previously mentioned resorts.
Further try the Wyndham, across the road next to Fairways. Offers alot more for your hard earned money....
We were booked in to Four Seasons Country Club for a week, but decided to travel over three (3) days earlier....
I had heard good reports about the newly refurbished villas at Vilar do Golf so decided to test them out, specifically asking for one these new ones...
However, despite the resort appearing, at least to be quiet we ended up in Villa 26, an old fashioned, drab and quite frankly depressing place to stay...
I know that there are better villas, but this review is on my stay...
Will I stay here again...No
