Parragil Vacations from ￥309,619

Hotel is away from most amenities. To stay here, a car is needed. Bolt was a savior. Beach is down a set of steep stairs with broken steps. Hotel messed up on an order for vegetarian Caesar salad when it was served with bacon and chicken. Lounge entertainment was a nice diversion.

Visited Four Seasons Vilamoura with my partner over the last week or so but this was actually my 10th time visiting the hotel (though my partner's first!) Four Seasons is an absolutely stunning hotel and, as the title suggests, is a true home away from home without being a cliché. The staff are all so polite and professional from check-in to check-out and everything in between and their English is impeccable. Breakfast buffet has a good selection of hot and cold options, tea, coffee, juices and all the condiments you could want. The pool bar too is great for food and snacks during the day with the option to pay as you go or add it to the room tab to be paid on check-out. We didn't eat evening meals at the hotel and I haven't tended to over the years, no fault of the hotel just prefer to have a change of scenery for the evening and head to the marina which is a 20 minute stroll away or even shorter taxi ride, or even the local Old Village which has a small selection of bars and restaurants. Four Seasons is one of the safest and cleanest hotels I have stayed in, staff are always on hand and rooms are tidied/cleaned every day, there is barrier entry to the hotel requiring a fob you get on your room keys. The rooms are the biggest in any hotel I have stayed at - whether the studios or one-bed apartments (I've not stayed the 2 or 3 beds). They are well equipped with everything you could need (ran out of characters!)

Amazing property, well maintained and felt very safe. Location is just okay, unless you’re planning on staying on the resort only. I would recommend renting a car if you’re a tourist to go out for dinners and amenities as they are approximately 15 minute drive away

Nice hotel, pity about the building site opposite our room! Noisy!!!
