This was my third very enjoyable Christmas here. They must be getting things right or I wouldn't keep coming back. More

My first visit was in 1982 (so I'm told as I was a baby at the time!) and I've been back almost every year since. At the beginning, the hotel was still in it's prime - 5 star hotel, everyone still dressed for dinner, the cocktail bar was packed every night and it was unusual not to be full board.... More

We spent a week in August at Vasco da Gama. Great location, on the marvelous beach. Two double rooms on the third floor. Very good buffet breakfast. Staff just strictly correct, not kind enough. Some rooms were refurbished and some not, so we got one of a kind. The improvement concerns mainly the bathroom, which now is fine. This one... More

Our first visit was in October 1966 when this was probably the best hotel on the Algarve. Perhaps not now, but still superbly located (it’s worth paying extra for a sea view which also avoids having to overlook the monstrous hotel on the land side - but don’t let them try to fob you off with a side view) and...

This was our first stay here. The hotel is only a 3 star, presumably because it lacks the extensive facilities of other hotels. It does, however, offer family-run friendliness, and even its standard double (we were on the ground floor, sea view) had a reasonably sized air-conditioned room with two huge and comfy "single" beds, a fridge and lovely (if...

This was our third stay at the Vasco da Gama having last stayed here in 2004 and 2009 and again we cannot fault the hotel. The staff are all friendly, helpful and welcoming and the hotel is very clean. Don't be put off by the tired condition of the corridors because the bedrooms and public areas are nicely decorated. Our... More

We returned as usual in June 2011 and once again had a wonderful holiday. The staff of the Hotel are so pleasant and provide good 'old fashioned' service. Lovely and clean and well presented bedroom with some new furniture. Multi choice breakfast foods from the buffet improved again this year with the addition of a good selection of fresh fruit...
