Hotel berhampiran Parque, São Bartolomeu De Messines

Be aware before you travel that this hotel has five stars on the basis of its leisure facilities. It is not a five star, but a good three star at best. The hotel is spotlessly clean though, and both the rooms and the apar**ents are of a good size. Be aware that you will be presented with a set of rules suitable not for adults paying for an all inclusive holiday in a five star hotel, but for recalcitrant twenty somethings - no drinks in the lobby, no food or drinks may be taken from the restaurant, and best of all, no drinks may be brought to your room and no room service is available. The vaunted selection of restaurants available is in fact, the restaurant of each of the sister hotels with different themes on different nights, including several which are actually benches underneath awnings in a green space although they are styled as separate restaurants. All of the restaurants are not open all of the nights. You will have to pre book to get a table or otherwise will have no choice but to eat in the underwhelming and understaffed in-house restaurant. In counterpoint to this the staff are without exception - hard working, helpful and pleasant.

moderno, com uma vista incrível da praia dos salgados, alojamento impecável e ímpares infraestruturas de lazer, lugar para relaxar e ter momentos inesquecíveis.

Just returned from a 3 ball golf Trip. Played Faldo and O'connor twice each. First off, this place isn't perfect, but value for money you cannot have any complaints. We were more than satisfied. O'connor was a decent resort course. Tee boxes on some holes were poor and some of the bunkers are not up to scratch. Tee boxes do not stop you hitting a decent shot. Crap lie in a bunker with no sand?.... Move it! who cares, this isn't a professional tournament. Overall the O'connor is not bad. I wouldn't include it on my trip back if wasn't already part of the package but still good. Shout out David from Denmark who joined us on our last day and participated hugely in a 4 ball scramble. 9 under. Not bad Faldo Course. This course is fantastic. Much better maintained to that of the O'connor, although still some ropey tee boxes. Very tough course in 40 mph winds and even more difficult when still slightly drunk from the night before. This course I would Happily detour off and play again. True test of golf that will hurt complacency on the back 9 especially. Hole 10 the one of the toughest holes I have ever played. 495 yards par 4 that is usually into wind. We were very lucky with Buggies as clearly they do not have enough. On 2 occasions we got the last two buggies which meant anyone booking in their round after us, would have had to wait. Pace of play was always very good. Surprising really but only got stuck once on the Faldo after we caught up on the 12th hole. After a really poor 14th by us, everyone dispersed again and smooth sailing there on after. For the most part you feel like you are the only ones on the course. Shuttle service was good, although only one driver most days but wasn't really an issue. Resort itself - 2 bedroom apartment we stayed in was excellent. Really well looked after and modern throughout. Staff couldn't have been more helpful. Some more quieter than others and some clearly new to their jobs but the intent to help was always there. We managed to move one days golf and bring it forward as weather forecast for the Thursday looked miserable. Lady in pro shop was very helpful and happy to accommodate. Luckily we did as Thursdays weather was horrific. Food decent enough and not bad value for money. Lunch we had at resort but for dinners we went into Albufeira or Vilamoura. Top tip - Download Uber and use these for travel, much cheaper. Breakfast was nice. Lots to offer and no complaints here Negatives - No supermarket on site. For a self catering resort, this is stupid. Pool closed October. Not sure we would have made the pool anyway as weather wasn't the best. Location - Middle of nowhere. Will need cabs and Ubers for travel. Bunkers on O'connor in particular are poor. Tee boxes on both not great on some holes. Some cabagey rough areas around greens, not many. For all he negative reviews knocking about, I was very nervous about this place as it was me that picked and organised this trip. I didn't want to let the boys down

Ottimi i servizi e le indicazioni del personale, tutti estremamente cordiali e gentili con il loro sorriso, sempre pronti ad esaudire ogni richiesta.

Just got back from a four night stay in this lovely hotel. The staff where very friendly & helpful. The pool is amazing, just a little cold for us to use this time. No fights for sun loungers, towels provided and a pool side bar. Lovely and quiet, very relaxing. The room has a massive bed which was very comfortable. The only thing I would say is the toilet situation is a little odd. There’s little privacy, it’s a glass box situation. Also if you’re on the ground floor there’s no private balcony. It’s shared. Again I can see there being a bit of an issue with privacy but we had it to ourselves. I would say the room could do with a bin and some sort of screen for the bathroom. If you pull the door for the shower then no one else can use the toilet as it’s only one door for both. Other than that it really was a lovely break and we will be back.
