While we usually prefer smaller hotels, this hotel was fabulous. There are two pools to choose from, a myriad of restaurants, shops, gym and beautiful grounds. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. The location is perfect. While they do. Ot have a beach, they offer a shuttle to a beach club. Very very real to explore the algarve region

The overall resort is amazing! We stayed in the Residence building with a garden view and it turned out to be an excellent choice of location. We were right beside the club house where we enjoyed morning breakfast! All of the staff were exceptionally well trained in service and seemed genuinely eager to welcome, aid, and assist with any requests. Our only regret is that we only booked to stay three nights! You certainly need more time to truly experience all that Vila Vita Parc has to offer.

I love it when outstanding hotels give outstanding service, when they know what it means to be a leading hotel, and they do a lot to satisfy their clientele. The hotel is very well located in the middle of the Algarve, away from the mediocre tourist traps. The hotel is like a small village, with several buildings, 12 restaurants and bars, two large pools, a series of luxury shops, ... and yet it doesn't feel at all like a mass thing. Quite the contrary, the exceptional atmosphere and the exclusive vibe is well maintained. There is an un-obliged neither forced elegance, making this hotel stand out. We had a great luxury room with park view (and the sea as well). The room and attached bathroom are simply super. The bed was excellent; the pillows maybe a little too soft; the bathroom products are qualitative (a local Portuguese luxury brand). The buffet breakfast, which we took in the restaurant overlooking the pool and the sea, is top. Really everything is there, and even more than you can imagine. And on top there is a menu with free to choose items that are prepared in the kitchen. The gym is fully equipped and comes with the latest machines. The people go all the way to please authentically their customers. We found it very comfortable to have an elaborate choice of twelve restaurants and bars, catering to each one's taste. We did the Asian restaurant (the rolls were very good, fresh, but not the most exceptional ones we have had; the bun was delicious) and the 2 Michelin starred Ocean restaurant (an experience not to be missed if you are into exquisite fine dining). The hotel has an almost private beach, at the bottom (the property is on a small valleyed hill) and end of the property, where you go down by stairs. And ... the hotel also has there restaurants (each one with a different vibe) at their resort beach, about 10' a drive by a free hotel shuttle (leaving the hotel every hour), and offering free comfortable loungers, quality towels, and also has a generous bar service (at an extra cost). It's not a private beach, but the hotel service is also for hotel guests, making it super cool to order drinks and food, while being at the beach, and having it charged to your room. The way how the hotel has received us in a VIP way to honor us with our wedding anniversary was very generous and elegant. Much appreciated! We have decided that we will go back to Vila Vita Parc within a year, and stay more than 3 nights. Absolutely recommended and absolutely up to the standards of the Leading Hotels in the World!

Lovely hotel. Very attentive staff. Plenty to do on site and a small town within walking distance. The hotel has lots of restaurants catering to all requirements but booking is required and can be done from your hotel room. The only criticism is that we could hear the people in the room above us walking around.

Very nice hotel with friendly people, good service and variety in food and quality restaurants! There are swimming pools for different guests with or without children; it's never crowdy because of the big open spaces with a beautiful garden, and a special calm sphere around the swimming pool.
