Loule Jardim Hotel

Loule Jardim Hotel

8/10 Good
"Beautiful place in the City of Loule which is a nice relaxing spot not too far from the popular location Vilamoura. Staff are extremely helpful and the rooms are lovely and comfortable. The gym needs a bit of an update, and the pool area. But all facilities are there and functioning . The staff are helpful and well informed of the area and the best places to visit. Will visit again. Nice, calm, simple and value for money"

8/10 Good
"I would’ve given this hotel a score easily if 5+ if I wouldn’t received a better response at 3am, an intoxicated man hammering the door to my room for about 20 mins, called the front desk and the phone was just put down on me. After that, the balcony chairs were scrapping and banging above the room due to a couple having some midnight fun! Otherwise, this hotel has an excellent location, service, amenities and staff (1 exception as noted above). The atmosphere is lovely, breakfast highly recommended but I do think the evening costal steakhouse is significantly overpriced."

"Lovely hotel! Friendly and helpful staff. We had a fantastic room - think it was a rooftop studio (?). Modern room with kitchen area (microwave, kettle, toaster and dishwasher). Nice balcony with table and chairs, loungers and egg chair. Clean. Small outdoor pool and sitting area. Great location…..few minutes walk to centre. Would definitely return for another stay!"

"Good clean basic hotel with a nice small pool. Near the airport but not easily accessible. Taxis don’t want to go the short distance so charge accordingly (€20 at night) Not an easy walk with luggage through a car park and across a busy road."

"A great all round stay. The staff are lovely and all talk English. The room was clean and the air conditioning helped it stay cool. I spent most of the time by the pool but it looks out over the beach. They have their own bit of beach where you can hire towels and beds for the day."

"Highlights - Excellent breakfast, piano player creates great ambiance - 15 parking spaces directly at hotel, unlimited parking at back of the Marina - ask hotel for details - 15 min speedboat ride to the beach; Captain slowed down to film/take pictures of wild life - Location excellent - Room and balcony with marina view highly recommended - Staff arranged a surprise gift for my partner's birthday Lowlights - Shower screen not long enough - bathroom floor gets wet - Pillows to thin (personal preference) - very little space to store bathroom toiletries"

Aquashow Park Hotel

Aquashow Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This place was great. The staff were super friendly. The Hotel was perfect location to reach everything we wanted to reach. We had a rental car which opened us to explore what the local scene had to offer. Beaches, Night markets, Supermarkets, Late night local Ice creams shops, Festivals, the lot! Underground parking was excellent at keeping the car cool. Rental towels (10 euro Cash deposit each) were very convenient as we were travelling very light. The Aqua Park was great fun. Be sure to check your child's height. 140cm + gets you full access to everything. Sub 120cm excludes some of the rollercoasters and big slides. Sub 110cm excludes a lot of the slides. Only a few Kiddy slides left to explore. A quick 5 min walk to the park. Wrist bands get you straight it. You will have to leave your stuff unattended if you plan on moving around the park as a family. Or you can rent a locker for 10euro per day. But everyone leaves their stuff on the grassed area and there seems to be a level of trust amongst everyone. We left our towels, phones and flip flops and never had anything missing."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Ilha Do Farol?
The best area to stay in Ilha Do Farol is the main village area, near the lighthouse.This charming, car-free village is the heart of Ilha Do Farol. It's a small, relaxed community with a few local restaurants, cafes, and small shops, all within easy walking distance.

The main beach runs along the ocean side, while the Ria Formosa lagoon is on the other.Couples looking for a peaceful escape will find this area perfect. You can enjoy long walks on the beach, dine at waterfront restaurants with fresh seafood, and simply unwind to the sound of the ocean. The lack of cars adds to the calm, allowing for truly relaxing days.Families will also appreciate the village for its laid-back atmosphere and easy access to the beach. Children can play freely on the sandy shores, and the shallow waters of the lagoon are ideal for paddling.
When is the best time to go to Ilha Do Farol?
While Ilha Do Farol is lovely year-round, the best time to visit for ideal weather and a full experience is typically from late spring (May) to early autumn (October).During these months, the weather is consistently warm and sunny, superb for enjoying the beaches and outdoor activities.
