Property 1243 is a very nice 2 bedroom town house in excellent condition but is currently surrounded by major construction works and therefore is extremely noisy from 8-5pm except Sundays. They are building new pavements and roads outside the property and it’s also an entrance to larger construction site and therefore is used by large JCB’s. We booked a 3 night stay and were informed by reception at Vale de Lobo that we would have been made aware of the construction site on our booking with Expedia. However this is not true. Please avoid property 1243 during these major works. Vale de lobo did very little to help with this situation and just blamed us.

This is a masive resort with two golf courses that look very challenging. The restaurants were great, The Well was our favorite place to eat. The shuttle service is a must and very efficient. They included the Well pool and amenities which are great. We really enjoyed ourselves and would go back for sure.

Property at this resort is very large definitely need a car or Bicycle, lots of walking, This townhouse is far walk to beach (we drove) it had 3 floors 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms on 3rd floor and first floor had pullout full couch and 1/2 bath sleeps 6 comfortably lots of space.Modern very clean house, pool was very clean, safe and quiet area, basic stock in the kitchen. Check-in is only after 5 pm Grocery store is nearby In order to access the gym, you need to pay €115 per person per week. Never have I had to pay at a resort for gym access…. Can not bring water or snacks to the pool area! You have to purchase them there no exceptions. You have to pay for beach chairs and umbrella at beach, house does not supply. They do have a shuttle service around the property you can call for. If you drive closer to the beach you will have to pay for parking. In my opinion, you’re really only renting out the property. The resort is separate. Anything you want to do at the property you have to pay for. Pool towels were supplied

Vale do lobo is a great resort. Very high end. The apartment was standard so not the most plush. It was clean and had all facilities required including air conditioning Everything was functional but may benefit from a refurbishment. Neighbours were quite noisy but we were only staying for a short period. Reception did apologise but couldn’t do anything as we had not reported to them so were unaware. Service and resort facilities are excellent.

A beautifully furnished and spacious apartment. Very well equipped. Comfortable beds and all equipment needed for a pleasant stay. Disappointed that we had to pay 9 euros each to use the pool. Otherwise very happy with the accommodation and resort. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful part of the world. Friendly and welcoming staff. Everyone I spoke to from the staff, reception, restaurant staff, shuttle drivers and many more were incredibly friendly and warm. The Wellness area is a very nice. A perfect balance to the constant sun, sea and crowds. Thank you for a great visit!

Property was lovely and in a good location , however the villa next door was being refurbished and they were using a disk cutter throughout the first three days. The hotel did give us access to the wellness centre and gym ( saunas and steam rooms were out of use) as a guesture. I think when I booked I should have been advised. The spa and gym gesture was nice and as the villa was privally owned they have little control over this but even so it affected our stay.

Liked: Amenities
The property was well appointed and spacious with good decor and furnishings. The property was generally clean, however, the outside terraces were dusty and hadn’t been swept or washed. There was a general lack of attention to detail, eg., a dangerous plank of wood sticking up on one of the terraces and two enormous dead plants both inside and outside the property. There was building work to the right and left of the property which was noisy.

Ants in the bedroom
The resort was way too big for my taste - it could have been anywhere in the world. Not very Portugal-like The service wasn’t great. Shuttle took 30-40 minute to get between places. But the worse was coming home the second night to hundreds of ants in the bedroom and on the bed. Called reception and all they gave me was a can of bug spray to handle myself. I couldn’t even sleep in the room after spraying - the fumes were terrible and ants were still crawling. I slept on the uncomfortable plastic leather couch. In the morning, the receptionist and manager said they couldn’t compensate me and laughed it off. I was furious. If you come to Faro, stay in the city. Don’t waste your time or money on Vale de Lobo.
Hundreds of ants
Bug powder on ants to kill them.

A mix bag!
Nice rental well appointed.. however there is a lot of construction going on which spoils the view and can be a nuisance. The resort tried to compensate us with a late check-out and access to the spa. Several amenities were not in working order (hammam and sauna). Nice try but we will leave very disappointed…. Bottom line: guests’ stay vary vastly depending on the location of the rental…something to think about when booking a stay at Vale do Lobo.

Our unit was moldy, patched up from water damage, the shower leaked all over the floor, there was no housekeeping so there was a charge (12 euros) for fresh towels. To be fair we were not charged for the fresh towels after I told reception that I had used our towels to mop up the floor after the shower leaks. To top it off- there is charge to use the in-room safe. The resort shuttle (apparently only 1 small van) cannot handle the guest traffic after dinner so wait times were unacceptably long. It's a beautiful resort but needs some service and architectural upgrading. Many rental units are privately owned and offer short term rentals (like ours) so you get what seems leftover. However- the front desk staff were quite accommodating and friendly and informative in addressing our issues even though corporate polices tied their hands on being able to address some of the issues we encountered.
