"The property is expansive, beautiful and well maintained. We were warmly greeted at reception and granted early check in. We were given a tour of the property via a golf cart then deposited at our lovely Elegant Suite. So far so good. One of the primary reasons we booked Vilalara is because of they have a spa. We don't typically book services but we love using the sauna, steamer, and other amenities. We stopped at the spa and were given a brief tour. We were not shown the thalassa features, so I can't tell you what they entail, but we did see the cold plunge tub, a small windowless relaxation room, a small sauna and steamer. This area was not very large or impressive for a spa property and the resort charges 22 Euro per person, per day to use it. No where on their website, or any affiliated sites was this published. We would not have booked this hotel if we had known about the upcharge. Also, their website says they have a jacuzzi but none of the three outdoor pools had a spa. We had beautiful weather and enjoyed the gorgeous beach and pools but a cool day would have been miserable. Other disappointments were inconsistent housekeeping; one night we had no turndown service at all and other nights we had only the delivery of water. We constantly had to ask for coffee pods and/or cream. The gym is lovely and they have high end cardio but need additional free weights, one set of each weight is inadequate. The breakfast staff and food were wonderful, but we will not return."

"We had a full size fridge. Maid was exceptionally good. We left her tips daily. Very clean. Parking was perfect. Under the building. Pool was great, 2 of them outside. Great location. Groceries beside. Beach a walk away and HUGE. Restaurants there were exceptional. Boardwalk to the water and up the beach. Perfect. "

"My favorite part of this hotel was the view. We were fortunate to have a seaview room which had a balcony that we used nightly to wind down. The hotel allow lots of ways to enjoy the beautiful views - poolside and all restaurants. The room was spacious and clean with a seaview from all angles of the room - lloved it. The staff was most helpful when deciding on tour options and all questions we had. The meals where very good with the breakfast assortment being spectacular! The best I have ever experienced. We had the occasional dinner at the hotel which was lovely ($$$$). We also walked into the village and had wonderful meals there, as well. We treated ourselves to spa treatment with a couples massage. Of course this was heavenly! We enjoyed the location which allowed us to walk to beaches, village, tours and hike along the cliffs. We thought we would use a car more but it was parked the entire time we were there (at no charge). This 5 star hotel lives up to its stars. Would definitely recommend."

"Everything met my expectations and go beyond!Good job Porto Bay ,Albufeira!"

"Travelled with a 3 year old, would 100% return to this same location. The staff were amazing, kids were accepted everywhere (except the indoor heated pool sadly, although understandably cause it's a spa). The kids playground was wonderful with daily activities, engaged and kind care staff during the day. I didn't leave her with them unsupervised by a parent, but apparently you can. Loved the facility, our villa was perfect. Only thing that would make this better would be if the peacocks could be quiet at night, someone should let them know! Haha Wonderful experience, thank you for the amazing stay."

"Perfect would go back"

"Breakfast was the best! We loved the staff throughout our whole stay, very nice and informative. Very clean and kept hotel. "

"Fantastic location…great views from every floor. Great pool side staff, especially the magnificent Anil! A perfect location for a short break."

"The hotel is very clean and modern. Our room had a nice view. It's very close to the Aquashow. We were travelling as a group of 3, two adult friends and a ten-year-old child. The 3rd bed in our room was a flop-out chair bed, very unsuitable. This was replaced with a camp bed on wheels, which was, needless to say, also very uncomfortable and unsuitable for an adult. We were allowed to stay on site for the remainder of the day following check out. "
