Vale Do Lobo Golf Resort

8 / 10

Really pleased with the trip. We all loved it

10 / 10

We had a brilliant experience staying at the Vale do Lobo resort apartments. On arrival around 1pm we were told our room would be ready by 5pm, but to our delight we received a text at 3:30pm letting us know we could check in early. The apartment was spotless and very well presented, with thoughtful touches such as tea, coffee, bread, and jam provided on arrival. The facilities were excellent — strong WiFi, a safe for valuables, and even an alarm for added peace of mind. The shuttle service around the resort was outstanding: extremely quick, reliable, and very convenient. A special mention to the reception staff, who were friendly, professional, and couldn’t do enough to help us. Overall, a fantastic stay and we will definitely return.

Incredible

I booked a standard 2 bedroom apartment with twin beds in each bedroom. We ended up being given a 2 bed apartment with a twin and double room ! on the first night one of the party had to sleep on a sofa and then they put a camp bed in with the double which was not great and very uncomfortable !! overall the complex is nice just a shame that the basics affected the overall enjoyment

We stayed in apartment which was fine, the only small negative is we had to utilise shuttle bus and at times was busy once we adjusted to this and used a combination of shuttle and Uber it was fine

8 / 10

Apartment was spacious and clean. Only slight issue was water leaking onto balcony but otherwise excellent.

10 / 10

Unreal place. Few small issues with staff but overall an incredible experience

10 / 10

Lovely resort with lots of amenities you don’t really need to go off site, but if you do it’s a €15-20 taxi ride to Vilamoura. The apartment was large for a 1 bedroom with everything you needed for a 5 night stay. We used the free shuttle bus every day to get from the apartment to the courses which was excellent. All the staff were super efficient and friendly.

Extremely frustrated that having booked this break with Yourgolftravel, that when we arrived in Faro around 09:20 for a tee time for 8 players at 13:10, we could not access our apartments until 17:00 (after our round of golf). Thus we had to change and store our clubs in the clubhouse changing facility.

Very good resort. Added bonus was the resort shuttle which was very useful getting around the resort including the restaurants at the beach. Bradley Allmark gave us lots of information when booking this trip and nothing was a problem.

Accommodation was spacious, clean and comfortable

All great. Service in spikes was very slow at times, and it wasn’t busy !!

Fantastic development with two outstanding golf courses. Everything was seamless - from the service at the golf club and bar, to the shuttle bus and reception staff.

10 / 10

A 4 day stay in a wet March so didn't get to use some of the facilities but they looked good. Golf was 5* with really friendly course staff. Good buggies and facilities. Room not available until 17:00 on arrival at 11:00 was a little disappointing. Only used The Spikes club house bar and restaurant which was excellent. You pay top price for this 5* resort so it is not a tight budget option.

10 / 10

The whole experience from start to diminish was excellent and the staff were all friendly and very helpful.

8 / 10

probably a wee bit far from the golf centre but the shuttle bus was quick and efficient and accommodation clean and comfortable

6 / 10

Apartment is in need of maintenance/decor. Staff at the resort were of a mix some really helpful others not so. I would rate it only a 3star overall.

On arrival one miserable, extremely unhelpful receptionist. Our villa had been cancelled by mistake by tour operator and this person was extremely unhelpful in wanting to help resolve situation. - rest of reception staff very helpful and friendly as well as shuttle staff. Spike Bar - amazing food and service from all its staff.

8 / 10

This is a great place to stay, within walking distance of a lot of good restaurants and has fantastic golf. The kitchens are ill equipped but other than that a great experience

10 / 10

Accommodation was excellent. It was spacious and good condition. The shuttle bus service that runs 24/7 was quick and reliable.

10 / 10

Hotel complex was spectacular and a perfect match for a long weekend for our group. Hotel staff were attentive, friendly and always went the extra mile looking after our group throughout our stay. Only negative feedback would be the late check in of 1700 on the day of arrival which resulted in the group having issues settling in, playing golf and checking in very late that evening.

10 / 10

For a cheeky getaway, with 3 rounds of golf included, we were very happy with the accommodation provided and package as a whole for the price. One small issue was we were a couple and the bed was 2 single beds pushed together (kept falling in the crack!). The facilities were great otherwise. Full kitchen, with inside and outside table. Good wifi. The restaurants and bars do the job and if you are with a lads or girls group and are likely all you need. For a romantic meal, we headed inland slightly to Restaurant Florien, which was a great setting for a romantic meal and the food was spectacular (rather than just good/very good). Overall, a great time. Staff friendly and happy to help! Good supermarket on the site also if you want to cook a few meals instead of eating out (or stock up on birdie juice for the back 9).

This is the 4th time we have traveled with YGTravel and once again everything was excellent. The courses were superb but could you slow the greens down please!😀. We will definitely travel with you again

10 / 10

The accommodation was spottless and well maintained

10 / 10

Self catering rather than a hotel but acomodation was excellent in a prime location for the courses we were playing

8 / 10

A great resort that has everything within walking distance or or short resort provided shuttle ride away. Biggest criticism is that the golf provision does not include a full size driving range. There is a range provided near the first tees, but you are limited to using a 9 iron at most due to its short length.

8 / 10

Nice apartments lovely people.

10 / 10

excellent venue and very nice personnel - the amenities are outstanding (e.g. free shuttle bus in the whole campus) and you don't miss anything.

Everything was absolutely fine - the only negative was that our apartment was a little 'tired', could do with refurbishing to match the standard of the rest of the resort, but we would still go back tomorrow!

8 / 10

Nice apartments, lots of space and very comfortable. Would be better if nearer the golf courses but only a 15-20 min walk

10 / 10

Very clean and comfortable

8 / 10

Fantastic complex overall, only blips apartment quite isolated & required us to constantly have to book a 10 mins shuttle ride to get to any of the amenities ie: courses, Praca, & supermarkets etc. Though in fairness the shuttles were very prompt & the drivers extremely courteous. Only other gripe was the pool & gym advertised to us were both closed Would also like to thank your golf travel & Jay Conroy in particular this was my first venture into a golfing break & have to say Jay guided us through the whole process with absolute professionalism & courtesy

10 / 10

Everything was fine as in the previous visits to vale do lobo the accommodation was excellent staff on and off the course were very friendly and helpful we will definitely be returning

10 / 10

The apartment was very comfortable there were 2 bedrooms with 2 twin beds in each room. Very hard to find fault with the comfort levels and the actual location of the apartment.

10 / 10

Upgraded to small Villa with own plunge pool, accommodation was way above what we expected. Drinks obviously expensive. Supermarket on site. Free mini bus takes you around the complex. Everything is extremely well organised. TM M4 & M6 hire clubs. Couldn't fault it.

10 / 10

Great apartment and the transport bus was very efficient. Could walk to and from restaurants.

10 / 10

From the minute we walked through the door, the staff couldn't do enough for us. We arrived early so that we could play a round of golf, but couldn't check in to apartment until 3pm. Put our bags away safely for us and did the paperwork. After golf, collected our key and drove to apartment. Facilities at apartment were 1st Class, better than most hotels we have stayed at. Everything we needed was provided, including a welcome pack of bread, milk, tea, and coffee. Apartment very spacious with big TV and also wifi. Apartment was 15 minute walk from centre, but there was a free taxi service if we wanted it, just pick up phone and it was immediately there. Only used Spikes bar, food was pretty reasonable and varied menu, priced about what we expected. Again, everyone bent over backwards to be helpful. Checkout was very very quick and easy.

10 / 10

What a fantastic location, surroundings and place. From start to finish everything was perfect and as a frequent traveller that is rare. The apartment was spotless and a free private shuttle is arranged from the course to your apartment with no hassle. The club house is lovely, food and drinks amazing though slightly pricey but this can be expected due to the location. Service is quick and always with a smile. The club has showers and free towels so you can freshen up between rounds and everything is spotless. My 3 stars on the facilities is only down to them having a driving range that you cannot hit more than a 9 iron (160m long) and it only has 6 bays. There is one bar/restaurant at the club house which is lovely however is quite expensive. We had 3 bacon toasties and 1 posh greek yogurt with 4 drinks and it was 70 euro. however don't let this put you off.In the evening there is a free mini bus service from your apartment. Simply dial 9 and within 5 minutes you are collected and drop anywhere in the resort. The local square has around 6 restaurants to cater for all tastes. An average meal was around 60 euro per person based on 4. There was no nightlife in Vale Do Lobo in March however I have been in August and it's a complete contrast. If you want something more you can head to Vilamoura in a Uber for 12 euro. All in all it was a fantastic trip and look forward to going back. On a final note we had unlimited golf which was well worth it. We played 18 holes in the morning, finishing around 2.00pm, then had some lunch and a few beers and then played a different course around 5pm and managed to get 9 holes in. Getting back out was no problem and free buggies were always available.

10 / 10

Very clean and tidy everything you need for a golf stay in the apartment sky sports was a plus as well as free wifi. Choice of restaurants was small on site but that was due to all of them on the Praca weren't open yet, food was lovely in spikes bar and staff was brilliant couldnt do enough to help us. Definitely go back.

8 / 10

We stayed in an apartment which was very comfortable and spacious. There was a basic welcome pack sufficient for breakfast which was great. Free resort bus worked really well so all the facilities were readily available

10 / 10

Out apartment was very nice. It was clean and had a basic welcome pack with milk, bread, tea & coffee. All the kitchen equipment was in good working order. The staff at the resort reception were efficient & friendly. The restaurant was lovely & the staff were very friendly & helpful. The breakfast was very good & set us up for a good morning of golf. We did not hire a car so we used the resort bus to get back & fore from our apartment. All the drivers were helpful and friendly at all times. The resort is very large so the bus was vital in getting to the reception were the golf office is situated.

10 / 10

Better than expected.

My group of 12 have just returned from a weeks trip to Vale do Lobo. I have been organizing these trips for over 20 years and I would say that the YGT offer for Vale do Lobo is the best deal ever! In fact I rang Nick Hall direct to make sure it wasn’t a mistake. The deal consisted 7 nights accommodation in a link detached villa, which was very well equipped.We even had a pool! 7 rounds of golf on the Royal and Ocean courses, including buggies. We also had club rental included for Taylormade M4 clubs! Even our two best players who are 6 and 7 handicaps left their blades at home. For those who have not been to VDL it is a large site but the resort has a minibus pickup from anywhere on site. Normally they are with you in 5 minutes or so. There are a few bars and restaurants open in February but if you want a livelier time you may have to taxi to nearby Quinta do Lago. To top it all we qualified for a Taylormade M4 driver which our group had a draw for.

One bed apartment very tired and in need of upgrading, would not choose this option again. Continuous calls made for housekiiping to replace consumables.

8 / 10

Staff at the resort were very friendly and helpful Apartment was great, resort bus to transit you around the resort and only a 5 minute wait.

It was just perfect!

8 / 10

Our accommodation was self catering and we did not use the bars and restaurants so unable to give a rating for them

8 / 10

The apartment was very spacious and had lots of facilities such as dishwasher,microwave, washing machine. The nice touch was the milk, bread, coffee and tea left for us. However, the apartment did look tired and really needed re decorating, especially the bathroom

8 / 10

Quite a large complex, but the internal "resort bus " system works well, and is easy to use. Apartment was spotless, ans had everything one could ask for. Nice outdoor terrace too. Two lovely and challenging but fair courses, with very helpful and knowledgeable staff.

10 / 10

May I say that every body in my group including my self could not fault this trip in any way the Royal and Ocean courses were superb offering us some breathtaking views and good golf all the staff were extremely helpful and polite
