About the location
The jewel in the Algarve's crown, Vilamoura is a vibrant and cosmopolitan seaside town where life revolves around the spectacular coast. Two long, sandy beaches, both backed by a lively waterfront promenade, provide the perfect spot for swimming, watersports and flopping down on a towel. At the town's heart, you'll find the marina. Filled with gleaming white yachts, it's something special, offering a huge choice of elegant bars, Portuguese restaurants and even a casino. It's not all about the glamour, though - a fascinating history has left a wealth of sights, including Roman remains just a stone's throw from the marina, at the archaeological site Museum Cerro da Vila. Vilamoura is also a hit with golfers, thanks to an incredible five 18-hole courses.

We stayed for a week 7-14 August 2018 and have nothing but praise for the hotel. From our arrival in the vast reception area to our departure things could not have been better. the staff were all incredibly welcoming and helpful. They gave full and helpful advice about the hotel and the area. They organised car hire, airport transfers and anything else which was needed. We had excellent weather throughout our visit and so sitting outside for breakfast each day was a treat. Whether sitting by the one of the pools by the hotel or taking the complimentary bus to the beach there were always sufficient loungers. The room was large, very comfortable and kept spotless by the housekeeping staff. We tended to eat out and this was a bit hit and miss. Other reviews had suggested that eating at the hotel was overpriced and disappointing. On our last night as we had an early flight we decided to eat beside the pool and we are so glad we did - it was the best meal of the week by a distance. the hotel has a gym, games room, separate spa and access to numerous golf courses including one (Penhal) on its doorstep - which does a good snack at a lunchtime.

One week in Hilton Villamoura.
We were 2 familes and had booked double rooms. The rooms are realy big: rather appartements with 2 rooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen and living room. Nice terras also with view on the pool (the other family had golf course view: also nice.
We received upon check-in a voucher for a bottle of wine (rather bad housewine, but OK).
The hotel has 6 swimming pools, in 5 of which the children can swim and play as much as they want! one pool is completely in the shadow in case you had enough Portuguese sun. There is not really a good pool for who wants to swim lanes, but that was not our goal.
There are 3 restaurants and a (snack)bar, but it???s a pity that the best of these restaurants is closed during summer (?). So almost daily to that buffet gets boring. Lukily, we booked one dinner at the good Michelin starred restaurant Willie???s around the corner!
This hotel is OK for one week with the children, but brings not a wow experience. Except maybe for the excellent wellness.
Improvement point: get a good coffee machine in the breakfast restaurant.

Spent 5 days at the Hilton Vilamoura to wrap up a family trip to Portugal. It's not a massive or sprawling resort, so everything felt close by - restaurants, pools, and other amenities. There was a free shuttle to the marina area for dining and shopping with another stop at the beach - neither are far away and we walked it one evening, with an option to rent bikes with pickup and drop-off locations along the way. The resort has a private area of the beach with lounge chairs and umbrellas along with a bar and restaurant that you can use and charge to the room. Didn't have a problem getting chairs before noon, but they start to fill up after that before emptying out again midday. The hotel has multiple pools and none ever felt over crowded, but it was tough to find chairs together at any of them by noon, although they did open up again later in the day which was perfect after spending the first half of the day at the beach. Definitely a kid-friendly resort with plenty of floats and toys in the main pool, but there is an adults-only pool that is fairly secluded.
Our room was a nice pool view with an extra bed brought it. Clean and comfortable.
The breakfast buffet (comped for HH Gold+) provided a good selection and there are some good restaurant options for lunch and dinner onsite. Prices for beer and wine seemed reasonable, but one could run up a pretty hefty bar tab if you're not careful, as cocktails and frozen drinks were quite a bit more. There are also several markets nearby, which came in handy.
The marina area was touristy with some decent but pricey restaurants - check with the hotel staff about reservations at some of the nicer places. Still not a bad place for an evening walk. Shuttles back and forth to the resort run every 30 minutes at night, but a cab can make the trip for about 5 euros if you mistime it or don???t feel like waiting.
We had a rental car which came in handy for day trips to some beautiful nearby beaches (Barril Beach near Tavira with a

Really good hotel currently writing on our last day and have had a great stay. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and clean. the food at the restaurants and buffet is delicious and the pools and gym are great too. the location is excellent with a 5 minute drive by the shuttle bus (which runs every hour and after 7:00 every half and hour) to the marina and a 10 minute drive to a marvellous beach. the staff are nice and are playful amongst kids which is also another reason why its 5-star. my two sons and i (aged 11 and 6) are leaving today and will miss it. i highly recommend this hotel especially to families with kids.
