We were a group of four lads and visited here last week. We all came home wanting to go back which says it all. This is a world class golfing resort so everything is geared up around golfing. The club house is fantastic with excellent changing and storage facilities, a good bar with an amazing outside balcony, restaurant and two fantastic courses plus a range of other sports facilities such as paddle, tennis and football and rugby pitches. The two courses were in very good condition despite the high usage. Yes, there are parts of the courses that were a little worn but the greens and fairways were in excellent condition. Most of the tees were in good condition and if a little bare then we decided to tee up on a nice part. The greens were slick and true. The only niggle was that the bunkers on the Faldo course had way too much sand and were full of footprints (footprints are hardly the resorts fault) but the bunkers on o’conners were superb. The resort promises unlimited golf but this needs to be booked in advance at the time of booking the holiday. We found there was no slots on the day if you wanted to change tee times or courses. We cannot fault the service or food in the bar area. There is also a free shuttle bus to the villas/apartments but generally it’s a 10-15 walk. Our apartment was superb - way too big for us - with 3 twin rooms, 3 ensuites, lounge/dining area and big kitchen. The resort is 20 mins via an uber to the night life in albufeira and 35 mins to villamoura. We found ubers to be half the price of normal taxis.

Having stayed here many times before, I was not disappointed when I stayed again for 9 nights this month. Hotel comfortable, good breakfast and great helpful staff. The hotel being on the edge of the city enjoys views of the castle etc. across the valley. I have never driven in Portugal but there is a railway station only a little way from the hotel, but up a hill, and you can travel to many places by train at very reasonable prices on the Algarve as far as the Portuguese/Spanish border one way and as far as Lagos the other way with many stops in between. Bus services are also quite good.

Ater eventually finding the apartments (only due to local roadworks), Paula greeted us and showed us to our room. Spotlessly clean, decent size studio apartment. Thanks to Google translate, Paula explained everything about the complex, and also suggested a couple of local restaurants. We saw her several times throughout the 5 days we were there, she always had a smile and asked if all was OK. We found the bars/cafes in the village to be really cheap, but if you wanted a 'proper' meal, head to the seafront for more choice of restaurant, and only slightly more expensive.

A great apartment with everything you need,really enjoyed our stay here, even so much we extended our holiday by another 12 days 😎, The apartment is very clean, with everything you need for a self catering holiday, The reception staff are very friendly and helpful.There are cleaners who ring door bell everyday and provide clean towels, clean tea towels & toilet rolls if required and mop the floor & empty bins, it's a gated premises with plenty of parking right next to your apartment and it is budget friendly aswell, okay it is November and out of season but weather is still very good 20 degrees and mainly sunny. There is also a laundry service or do it yourself, again very reasonable prices & a pool which all balconies look over, it's got everything and I'm very happy I booked ”Villas Barrocal”. Plus air-conditioning in the living room & bedroom if needed.

I think there should be thorough cleaning at each guest change. The towels and sheets have many dirty stains. There is little cleaning in the corners of the houses, we always find cobwebs, dead spiders and other animals. In 7 days, we were told that there would be a change of towels every other day and that did not happen. They only changed towels once, and we had to go to reception to ask for new ones. We didn't have a carpet at the entrance to our house, which meant we brought dirt from the street inside. The staff are very helpful and attentive, the pools are wonderful and the location near supermarkets is very good.
