Viceroy at Ombria Algarve

What a gorgeous resort. Beautifully set up and a serene atmosphere. The spa was absolutely lovely. We had a package deal including massage and body scrub which was amazing. What a great way to spend an afternoon

Amazing place! Lovely setting in the countryside with views over the hills. The accommodation, staff, facilities were all exceptional. Couldn’t fault anything. We stayed in a suite which had everything you need. Comfortable, clean and relaxing.

This resort is a home from home. We stayed here last year and it was such a nice surprise to see many familiar faces still working here. Obviously this is a good place to work and the energy and atmosphere is excellent, happy and professional, we loved it. The Ombria Kitchen is excellent, be sure to ask Alex for help to pair wine with your meal, he is very knowledgeable and nice. Food is delicious, service is fantastic. Go to Cafe Central for coffee, gifts and tasty treats, staff there are helpful, friendly, awesome! Golf course is exceptional, staff are fantastic, food is amazing! You cannot go wrong booking this holiday resort, we will definitely come back.

Fantastic resort with the friendliest of staff. Our two bed residence was superb, loads of space and amenities and nice extras (bottle of wine and custard tarts). The gym and spa are awesome. Excellent choice at breakfast with great egg menu. Ombria Kitchen food was excellent. My wife is GF and Anna the head chef spent much time explaining the options. Unfortunately it was low season so the other restaurants were closed except for Cafe Central which didn't have enough choice for GF. But it didn't matter. The golf course was stunning and great team there, keen to help and ensure no hold ups. Final word, all the staff (especially in the cocktail bar and Ombria Kitchen ) made us feel like family - they could not have done more. Very professional and personal touches throughout. Made us feel very special. A visit to Loule and Mar Shopping are recommended if you have a short trip planned.

We visited Viceroy Ombria at a quiet time in January. The staff could not have been more attentive or helpful. From the valet service spiriting our gaol bags away to the clubhouse on arrival to the staff in Ombria Kitchen dealing with all requests with grace and humour - it really was a lovely experience. The resort is about 45 minutes from Faro airport. The hotel will arrange a pick up for you, or you can rent a car. Even without a car, an Uber to Loulé town was about E22 and there are plenty available if you want to look around the area. Our suite was very nice, although the bedroom and bathroom were more spacious and appointed than the smaller living and sitting area. The food on offer was a little limited due to the time of year, but we loved the breakfast at Ombria Kitchen. The food and atmosphere in the golf clubhouse was OK., but probably the weakest part of the offer. Cafe Central provides a nice alternative for lunch. Our only flaw was that the first tee is 7.40am and breakfast does not start until 7.30am, so the first groups to play have to miss breakfast. A smaller food offering in the clubhouse would really make a difference to those playing early. We did not use the spa, but it looked very nice from outside. The golf course was very, very good. It was well maintained and the service from the caddy master and his team was really 5 star. It provides excellent value in the winter at E89 a round. The team will keep your clubs overnight and clean them for you if you are playing several days. The course is challenging with water, hazards and some lovely elevated tees. It is playable for really all levels, though bring plenty of balls to lose in the water :-) A great experience over 3 nights with golf. Would highly recommend for a golf break and comfortable stay.
