We stayed during late June 2008 and were actually quite impressed given how much we spent on the trip. I've written a longer review here: http://tinyurl.com/62traw The apartments were clean and airy and the kitchen even had a dishwasher. The bar was reasonably quiet and served food and drink pretty much whenever we needed it. Most guests appeared to be... more

Stayed at Terracos last week in June with my wife and two kids (13,10) for a week. The actual resort appartments are in two blocks at the top of the drive, our appartment was actually to the left at the top of the drive before reception etc. We were told Terracos owns half of the appartments in this block, the... more

I can't believe the most recent reviews are so negative! We visited in May half term for a week with our two kids age 6 and 11. The weather wasn't the best, but we were always out... Praia do Vau is between Alvor (we walked there several times..it takes about 1 1/2 hours with kids!) and Praia da Rocha. We... more

We booked a one bedroom apartment at the Terracos Do Vau about 6 weeks after reading the excellent reviews on Tripadvisor. I have to say, it was not what I had expected. The rooms are large, but rather basic. There appears to be no standard with the rooms, as the two next to ours (we were on the corner) had... more

just got back from a 10 night stay at these apartments. think the biggest down fall from our stay was the weather which meant us staying in and around the apartments for most of our stay which wasnt good. the apartments were clean inside, from the outside the building could do with a lick of paint. they look like they... more

Having read the reviews for Terracos do Vau we expected it to have been better than it was. First impressions of the hotel albeit in a 'very' quiet location looked nicely kept, clean and very quiet. The one bedroom hotel room was spacious and clean but not very well equiped. We where woken daily anything from 4.30am from the not... more

We stayed at Terracos Do Vau in mid October this year. We had never been to Portugal before, we just chose it as a last minute holiday as we had heard the Algarve was lovely. On arrival in the dark we were initially disappointed with the location of the complex as it appeared to be up a long sloping driveway... more

We travelled on 30th August 2007 and booked the Terracos Do Vau Apartments as an extra holiday so we had a limited budget in doing so, particularly travelling at any point during the school holidays so we were prepared to get what we paid for. Upon approaching the hotel our teenage boys looked in horror initially as the hotel complex... more

We have just returned from 11 nights stay at Terracos do Vau and it was fabulous. Clean spacious apartments that had maid service daily Mon - Fri. Pool was great and well used by my 9yr old! The bar staff were second to none especially Pedro, Fernando and Rui. Bar meals were very good and very well priced. Nothing was... more

We booked a 2 bedroom room way back in june 06 with thomsons in the expectation of ensuring a place here in july 07 but got told in march 07 that there had been a room allocation reduction by the hotel and we were to be moved or given our money back. All thomsons could say was that hotels can... more
