Just returned from a 7 night stay at Vilarosa- what a disappointment it was! Booked half board to stay in a studio room working on the principle that to offer half board there must be plent of people to make it viable in the winter. Arrived at 9pm and everything in darkness, had to find security guard in grounds as... More

When we booked we were told about all wonder facilities.they did not tell us the bar restaurants or main pool were closed and wouldn't be open till April!very disappointing.staff had no real suggestions of where to go to eat/what was on.yes they were friendly.kitchen facilities were poor.no tea towel to dry few plates!

had a 5 day break here over a weekend with my sister and a friend because it was cheaper than going to scotland for the rugby...............wish i had gone to scotland now!!!! Maybe if we had gone in season it might have been different as there was no other people there or if there was, we didn't see them. Shop... More

Vila Rosa provided a comfortable base for a cheeky 5day winter getaway. No luxury, but wouldn't expect it for the price! It's modern (enough, tv aside.. but didnt go there to watch it!) and kept to a very decent 3+ standard. Bear in mind that Portimao itself isn't the prettiest of locations - the whole seafront is built up with... More

Two years ago in September we were staying in that hotel. Hotel is very nice, clean room, friendly staff. Neighborhood is peacesul. A lot of things to do over, beautiful beaches, wonderful views so we recommend renting a car.

I stayed a couple of years back with 2 friends and we loved the place. It was great for a cheap and cheerful get away, although don't expect luxury. You get exactly what you pay for, but this is clear before you go. Lovely area too, although a little too hilly if you're not very mobile. Quite a walk down... More

Upgraded to single bedroom apartment as the studio apartment we booked was on the ground floor and was was far too small for two adults to be comfortable for a ten day stay. We were lucky that there was availability. Both apartments were spotless and although basic were fitted with modern appliances and comfortable furniture. We had maid service every... More

Stayed Sept 14 - 21 with friends/family....LOOK NO FURTHER!!! EXCELLENT value! Great location - 5 minute walk to unbelieveable beach! Walking distance to restaurants, cafes, bars, clubs & the boardwalk but far enough away that you don't hear the noise at night. Older resort but grounds are well kept, 2 great pools (clean!), lots of loungers, bar, restaurant, a/c, wifi,... More
