Vila Vita Parc Resort & Spa

We stayed at Villa Vita Parc for four nights after visiting our daughter in Lisbon for five nights and it was wonderful to arrive at this beautiful paradise. We had one room in the main building and my daughter had a villa. The property is stunning but the real gem of the resort was the fabulous team that we experienced from the valet to when we checked out. I made a point to talk to many of the team members and they were all so pleasant. We started our day with the best breakfast buffet on the balcony before we went to relax on a beautiful beach which was five minutes away on the hotel shuttle. Upon return, we relaxed around the many pools and grassy lounging areas with a glass of fine wine. We stayed on property and thoroughly enjoyed the many wonderful restaurants for dinner. I spoke with George,a member of the manage team, and told him how exemplary our whole experience was and that we look forward to a return visit next September. Portugal has so much to offer but this resort is at the top of my list if you are seeking beauty and relaxation.

This hotel was amazing. So beautiful. Fabulous views from the property. It was an oasis on the sea. The staff was very attentive. Food was good. Service was excellent. I don’t know if we will ever make it back to this part of the world again, but if we do, we would stay here again.

We were a little apprehensive as the thought of pre-booking restaurants and the pre-arrival check in process both seemed out of keeping with a 5 Star experience. On arrival our concerns were allayed. The staff were simply lovely and the thought of too many rules evaporated quickly. Our Oasis Suite was a great size, immaculately clean, fully equipped, a bluetooth speaker, good TV channels, and a most magnificent view of the gardens and the sea. We felt very at home almost immediately. Our room was quiet, with no noise from above. It would have benefited from some improved blackout. Of the speciality restaurants we found Atlantico to be our favourite with a nicely balanced simple menu. Adega, Bella Vita, Nana, Whale all had great evening menus. The food was superb in every restaurant we ate in. The BBQ at Adega simply fabulous. One amazing thing was that the management were hungry for feedback, we gave reviews in all the restaurants and the restaurant managers read them every day and often chatted to us about our views. The duty manager sought us out to discuss a number of things and we found the open attitude to ideas and feedback really refreshing. The beaches are not mediterranean or caribbean (obviously) and a little disappointing as they are either so exposed or have overhanging cliffs, few facilities and rough waves. The beach club area seems an hourly journey away and a costly add on for the facilities there. This said, the main hotel complex is so well served with various pools and little areas to hide away, eat drink, chat - we would go just to use the facilities in the hotel complex. This resort is really made by the staff who are superb and so relaxed and friendly, but at the same time attentive and service oriented. We chatted to cleaners, florists, gardeners, waitresses, waiters, security staff, managers and the culture pervaded all roles - it was truly excellent. The only person who did not respond to my LinkedIn request to communicate was the Managing Director ! We really enjoyed our stay and came away feeling relaxed and very well fed !

Gorgeous resort with excellent food and services.

From start to finish, this resort was spectacular. We were warmly greeted upon arrival and escorted in a golf cart to our villa. We stayed in the Oasis Suite with rooftop terrace. The room was very large, very clean and quiet. The terrace was nice and we could see the ocean in the distance. The resort is sprawling and we felt like we were the only guests there at times. Breakfast was superb. The gym is extremely nice and clean. We ate at Giardino and Adega. Both were nice - the outdoor dining at Giardino was relaxing and had an intimate feel. The service is really part of what stands out at this property. Would highly recommend! *they have a falcon that scares away the seagulls! *highly recommend the spa!!!!!
