Hotel terbaik di Silves

Having stayed here many times before, I was not disappointed when I stayed again for 9 nights this month. Hotel comfortable, good breakfast and great helpful staff. The hotel being on the edge of the city enjoys views of the castle etc. across the valley. I have never driven in Portugal but there is a railway station only a little way from the hotel, but up a hill, and you can travel to many places by train at very reasonable prices on the Algarve as far as the Portuguese/Spanish border one way and as far as Lagos the other way with many stops in between. Bus services are also quite good.

Malgré un emplacement génial en Algarve, et un personnel attentionné une immense déception pour cet établissement. Nous avons réservé 2 nuits. Le soir de la première nuit nous sommes arrivés tard , nous avons pris possession de la chambre. Le sol était humide ainsi que les draps et la salle de bain. Nous nous sommes dit que le ménage venait d'être effectué et que la chambre n'avez pas été aéré depuis longtemps au vu de l'odeur. Petit désagrément aussi l'eau de la douche était froide. Au petit matin mal à la gorge, de la condensation sur les murs où coulaient des gouttes, nos sacs humides, le sol mouillé, quel plaisir .... Nous avons laissé la fenêtre ouverte en nous disant que le deuxième soir ce serait réglé. Et là surprise! Exactement comme le matin l'eau des serpillères en plus au sol. Nous sommes allés à la réception pour changer de chambre ou être remboursés. On nous informe que l'étage supérieur est en travaux et que ça doit être une infiltration d'eau. On nous propose la chambre à coté, exactement le même problème. Ainsi qu'une troisième chambre. La direction nous propose enfin une suite dans un autre endroit. Nous demandons le remboursement des 2 nuits au vu de l'expérience. Seule la deuxième nuit nous sera remboursé. Nous quittons donc l'hôtel avant la fin du séjour et terminerons les vacances avant l'heure sur cette touche désagréable. Nous déconseillons fortement pour LES PERSONNES ASTHMATIQUES ainsi qu'en basse saison et surtout lorsque la météo est pluvieuse ou humide. Dommage l'hôtel a l'air d'avoir du potentiel pour la belle saison. Pour ce genre d'établissement grande déception. Merci au personnel d'accueil d'avoir fait au mieux pour régler le problème.

This is my 2nd time there and it was another good trip. I can't give it 5 stars for a couple of minor niggles but, overall, it's very good. It's a very nice resort, the accommodation is very nice, if slightly functional, and the people are warm and friendly. The villas tend to have private pools and the apartments share pools, which also have a small bar and plenty of shade. The 'sun loungers' are cheap plastic, which is a bit disappointing, but it's not a big deal. The resort is quite spread out but they offer a free shuttle bus from early in the morning until 11pm at night, so it's not an issue. You phone up from your room and they are there in minutes. Breakfast is very nice and fresh with a decent selection of the usual hot food, cereal, fruit, pastries etc. The lunch menu in the clubhouse is the same as dinner but that's fine as most people either eat in their apartments/villas or go off-site to the multiple restaurants within a 15 min drive. The bedrooms in the two bed apartments are small. We were 4 male golfers and one of the rooms was so small that, with the beds next to each other, you could barely open the cupboards. The other room (the en-suite) was slightly bigger. Our bathroom shower drain was blocked and flooded the room on the last day but I guess that could have been an isolated issue. One thing I don't like is that, with the 3 night package, there is no housekeeping and they don't change the towels. That's very odd to me. I actually called them on day 3 to ask for new towels which they agreed to but they never turned up. In terms of the golf, I know they've had very little rain since April and they are not allowed to water any part of the course other than tee's, fairways and greens. Not an issue I hear you say, but the tees are very lush to the point of ridiculous (they just need to be cut) and anywhere other than the middle of the fairway is very very dry. The plus is that the greens are superb, other than all the unrepaired pitchmarks, but that's not their fault! I was there in the middle of July so it was hot, but the advantage is that it was quiet. I've been there in high season and you are staring at a 5.5/6hr round. This time we were round in 4 hrs. What a pleasure. If you can deal with the 35c, then it's cracking. I will be rebooking for 2025.

Una villa, muy buena y bien situada, muy bonita y agradable estancia, el único inconveniente diría que ha sido el tema del spa, no estaban ni los baños turcos en funcionamiento ni la piscina pequeña, si eso hubiera estado operativo hubiese sido ideal, pero igualmente, todo lo demás un lujo para nosotros.

Don’t believe the negatives, these apartments are new, clean and have all required facilities, kitchen area, shower room and twin beds. Nice sunny balcony. There is a gymnasium on site and two swimming pools. Free shuttle bus to Gramacho and Pinta golf courses. I was on a golf trip, so exactly as i required, these are not really designed as family holiday apartments, albeit that families did seem to be enjoying them. If you want to walk. It’s only 1k to Gramacho club house and the adjacent supermarket, but remember there is the free shuttle. Staff were welcoming and helpful, I thoroughly recommend the Apartments, but if they want to improve things, a bar in the reception are, with snack options would be nice, but its not a game changer.

Absolutely beautiful. That’s the only way I can describe it. Took my boyfriend there as a birthday present. Staff absolutely lovely, so helpful and soo genuine. Rooms are gorgeous, we had a view straight on the bar/pool outside. Had our room cleaned daily spotlessly. No bad words to say. Affordable price as well. Had the staff notify us when our shuffle arrived. Everything was spot on. Hard to tell on the only picture I got off the view because it was dark, but just imagine that view when it was bright and sunny outside. Definitely recommend.

When we arrived at Vale d’Oliveiras we had a pinch me moment. The grand entrance sets the expectations of the venue very high. With a sweeping driveway and circular entrance it feels very glamourous. The staff have all been very helpful and friendly. We arrived at 1pm and had to wait for our villa to be ready and we were given complementary drinks at the bar whilst we waited. Our 2 bed apartment with garden view was very spacious, fresh and clean and the outdoor space is very peaceful. We were pleasantly surprised to have an en suite and a bathroom and the beds are extremely comfortable and the pillows very good for hotel pillows! Our teenagers enjoyed the Wi-Fi in the apartment and the choices of TV channels. We even received vouchers to spend in the bar and restaurant if we opted out of having the housekeeping in every day. We received €5 euros per day we didn’t have the room serviced and chose to utilise this 6 days out of the 10 day stay which paid for ice creams and drinks by the pool for a day! The pool area was lovely however the sun beds were often taken before we were up and out (we have teens!) We didn't get four sun beds until a week into the holiday and we were fortunate enough to have ones with a cushion cover. The amount of beds to resident ratio seemed a little off especially as you need a car to visit the beach so many families stayed on resort. We hired a car via the hotel which was wonderful and made the stay even more enjoyable. We used the gym which was adequate for our needs (running machine & weights) and although we didn’t use the spa we heard good things from those who did. With older kids we didn’t use the kids club but saw many families who did and enjoyed the respite. Overall a lovely holiday had by all of us - thank you!
