Being low season it was very quiet, there were some lovely walks, the beach was raked daily, the people were very pleasant and it was easy to get around by taxi. The indoor pool and jacuzzi were great and when the restaurant was open it was very good. We heartily recommend this hotel.

We enjoyed our stay in our very spacious two bed/two bath! We didn’t have a view of the ocean but it was a short walk around the building in front to the coastline. The area is pretty busy, several dining options available.
This is an amazing location. The units are nice, and the pool is excellent. The parking is good.
We had an issue with the air conditioning in our unit, they transferred us to an another unit. Everything was fine then.

The hotel is an older style, but exceptionally clean and the beds were so comfortable. We were in D block by the road and yes there is some road noise but this gets less late eve. Still had best sleep in a long time. Saw many staff throughout our stay checking and cleaning all areas, all seemed happy in their work and were friendly.
Pool area had plenty of beds and umbrellas and beach is 2 min walk. Thanks for a lovely break.

Pros:
Property is at an excellent location 🙂 The beach is really good. We had an excellent time this summer. The property also has multiple swimming pools both outdoor and indoor. Indoor ones are warm and also has a Jacuzzi. Hotel staff was also very helpful. We truly enjoyed our 4 nights stay at Jardim de Vau.
Cons:
I had booked this property through Expedia but one small concern from my end was that our room didn't have washing machine. Rest all room seem to have it. Otherwise, everything was good 👍

Highly recommended
Hotel is in an ideal location. It is quiet but there are several nice bar/restaurants within 2mins walk. Beautiful pool which is spotless clean. Pool bar is excellent with reasonable prices.The whole property is very clean, inside and out. Gorgeous beach is a few steps away with 3 bar/restaurants on or overlooking beach. About a 20 mins lovely walk along the prom with stunning views, into centre of very lively portimao.
Brilliant place! Great people. Great facilities.
Rooms all face south so balconies (equipped with sun beds) catch any sun.
Huge indoor pool. Well stocked library. Good gym.
100% recommend this hotel/apartment complex to even to most picky traveller.
