“Would love to go back...”
Excellent suites, friendly staff, would go back tomorrow. I would still like to know what the strange animal noise was at night though, weird!
“Recommended!!!”
The hotel was a lovely surprise! The villa was spotless and serviced everyday. Breakfast very good, lots of choice and no complaints there. I have read other reviews and yes, would definately recommend a car. Our weather was not good so it was great to see the surrounding area. Silves is well worth a visit, even in the rain! All the staff at the hotel were lovely and we will definately book there again. Final comment....the frog chorus on an evening was unbelievable!!! Thank you.
“Will definitely return”
This was our second stay at Vale de Lapa and the place seems to have maintained the high standards we found after its opening in 2010. There is no sign of any dilapidation in the fabric of the resort, the gardens are becoming more established, and the staff were as friendly as before. I would be as happy to recommend a stay here to a couple - old or young - as to those with young children. For those who like to venture forth, there are plenty of excellent beaches and restaurants within a 20 minute drive.
“Excellent, luxurious accomodation, but car is a necessity.”
Luxurious and very spacious self contained 2 bed townhouses with modern appliances (including dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, flatscreen tv's etc.). All the extras with heated bathroom floors, robe and dressing area, upstairs balcony, automatic roller shutters etc. Was so impressed we cancelled other accomodation to stay 4 extra nights. Wired internet is ok. Activity room with pool table and playstation would be handy for the kids. BYO tennis rackets for half court on site. No running track as the website claims, its just a path through / around the facility! A car is a MUST. Supermarket is 5km away (if you have a full kitchen, you may as well use it!). A little off the main area, but the accomodation more than makes up for it! Highly recommended. Hire a car from Inter rent and it works out cheaper than transfers! Off peak rates make it an amazing place to stay!
“Fabulous accommodation”
See above
“nice family place”
We had a great time in Agua Vale da Lapa hotel. The apartmets are huge great kitchen siting are and 2 rooms. Good place for family. The minus is that we went in october and the water in swiming pool was bit cold, there are only 2 adult swiming pool and one kidsone for about 100 appartments and breakfast bit pricey (was told is 15 euro pp).
“Agua Hotels Vale da Lapa”
The spa and indoor pool area was rather small and unattractive given the size of the complex. Travellers should be aware that the complex is quite a long way from the beach and amenities. A car is is a must.
“Mixed Feelings”
My three-star rating may give the impression that I think this hotel is poor, but that's not so. It has many good points, notably its staff and accommodation. But I have a couple of complaints. First, it's not a hotel. It's more like a housing estate, with 85 luxury houses in gardens around an area with reception, bar, restaurant, and pools, so you could face a 20-minute walk if you want to eat, drink, or swim. But you might not need that. The houses are fully equipped. Our villa had a living/dining area 12 m long, with a six-seater dining table and chairs, plus two huge bed-settees. The kitchen was superbly finished in black marble with cooker, washer, fridge, and dishwasher. Upstairs, the main bedroom had a double bed, a walk-in wardrobe, and an en-suite bathroom with tub, shower, and even bathroom scales. There is a second bedroom with two beds, so that each dwelling is a luxurious house where you can live in self-catering comfort. But there's another problem: the hotel is a long way from anywhere, too. It is not ‘close to Carvoeiro Beach’ – unless you think 5 km is ‘close’. So you need a car, because taxis are costly, especially at weekends, and there is nothing of interest within walking distance. That said, you don’t need to go outside. There are many facilities, including a covered, heated pool, and the restaurant is good and fairly inexpensive. The Algarve gets a lot of winter sunshine, and I always managed to find a sheltered spot to sit in the sun and read.
