A wonderful place for a relaxed weekend away from the crowds at Vilamoura. The hotel shows all the excellent touches of the Anantara brand, with excellent service and various dining options including the fine-dining EMO restaurant with focus on regional products from the Algarve.
I can really recommend a stay at Anantara Vilamoura and I loved my stay, even though it is noticiable not a newly developed Anantara facility. Loving the brand and in particular it's distinctive style, it was apparent the property was taken over from a different (sister) brand and felt a bit more 'conference hotel' than I'd expected.

Lovely hotel and very friendly efficient staff.
Free Shuttle service to the marina and excellent breakfast buffet, one of the best I have ever seen. very comfortable beds and nice showers.
It was a very long walk from reception to my room, worth asking at reception how near the room is to reception and is there a nearer one.

We were there as guests of golfbreaks.com and Callaway for the Potuguese Open. Most aspects of the hotel were 5* - the people, the rooms, the service, the pool, the view. We were disappointed with the resaurants and were served raw chicken (luckily we noticed). The breakfast choice was great but i encourage you to eat out for your dinner.

Firstly it???s s beautiful hotel. Everything you want if you want to get away from it all and no beach. It backs into a stunning golf course.
You can take a shuttle bus to the marina bug it???s a good 10/15 minutes. Getting there is easy but back is NOT. I had terrible problems as did others with the staff at their sister hotel by the marina. Once they found out you were not from their hotel they were rude and couldn???t care less if you got a shuttle or not to be honest. If you???re happy to catch taxis back then then that???s fine.
The marina is beautiful and lots of beaches around. Lots of fun excursions and the hotel will book these for you. But be aware you need to get back!! They???ll get you there.
Pool was clean, towels freely available. Rooms cleaned every day. No do not disturb signs (odd!) so beware!
Air con eco friendly. Only works with the door shut! Nice furniture on the balcony.
We had a business event at the hotel in their hall room/ whatever they call it. Food was really not good. Many commented on its poor quality.
Breakfast was ok. For a hotel of this standard I???d expect the staff to go out of their way. I had wanted done avocado slices but was told ???it???s only what we have out???. Very limited for gluten free (few breads, cereals). Most waiting staff friendly.
There is one little shop outside. Expensive! Clothes. Souvenirs etc. Other than that it???s in the town.
Nice to walk around the hotel but outside it???s just houses and residential.
Would I go back? Yes but not sure about the location. A bit too remote for me. If you love to see the sea in the morning this won???t be for you.

Positives
-Friendly staff 👍
-Great food 👍
-Outstanding adult pool 👍
-Very relaxing holiday 👍
-A great view of the golf course and if you play, easy access 👍
Negatives
-bar is in reception, so you???re sharing their music (level very low), you can see people checking in and so has no real atmosphere (albeit the staff are great!) ??????
-only 2 nights with any entertainment (which seems to be in the restaurant) so overall it is very, very quite and even if you sit outside, to the side of the bar then it???s very dark, so you won???t even able be able to have a game of cards! ??????
Tips
-Go early to grab the comfy beds in front of the adult pool, they???re FAB!! ???
-Go early to grab a great table in the restaurant ???
-Request a room close the adult pool, given you could be at completely the other end if the hotel and it???s one heck of a walk! ???
