Hotel Quinta do Lago

This is an incredible hotel with excellent service, food and ambience. It was one of the most pleasant and memorable holidays I have ever had!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Quinta do Lago hotel. It really is a very special place but it’s the staff who really make it special. All the staff from reception, concierge, breakfast, spa, pool and restaurants were first class. Friendly, engaging and professional. I’ve rarely seen such a cohesive standard throughout an entire team before. It’s obvious that many of them have been there for a long time and have built relationships with returning guests. Our room was well equipped with a very comfortable bed and a lovely view. You do have to ask for a coffee machine rather than it being provided as standard. Breakfast has a whole array of options and it was lovely to sit out on the terrace in the morning. Barbara and the team provide a great start to the day. The hotel restaurant is excellent with some beautifully cooked food. We liked the flexibility where we had a lovely 3 course meal on arrival as we were hungry but on another night we just shared a starter and a main as we had been out for lunch and we felt just as welcome. We loved the swimming pool and the jacuzzi. The whole pool are was very quiet and there were also lots of loungers available. Its location is interesting as it’s on a golf estate and has a very different feel to nearby towns and villages. The hotel provides a free shuttle within the estate which includes the north and south golf courses but unfortunately not to the local restaurants. There are restaurants you can walk to, but not many, so most diners end up using taxis. We went for a walk one evening and got lost. Even though we could see the hotel the only way to access the hotel was to retrace our steps. Casa Velha and Bovino restaurants are only physically only 100 metres away but it takes 20 minutes to walk around. All the local restaurants are expensive, charging about double what you would expect to pay in Vilamoura. There’s a lovely board walk outside the hotel which goes to the beach and also east and west along the coast so is great for walking or cycling. It’s expensive to stay, eat and drink but it is a fabulous hotel and one i would very happily return to, as we realised many of our fellow guests have been doing for years.

The best hotel experience ever for us and we had an outstanding 10 days at this superb hotel. The staff stand out as the best we have ever experienced however all aspects of the stay were exceptional. First stay however we will be returning .

Wonderful hotel,is a great location. Have stayed at this hotel many times.great service,with friendly and helpful staff.The perfect place to stay,with great local golf courses and restaurants.

This is a top notch hotel. We stayed a week and wished it could have been a month. From start to finish the staff could not have been more helpful. With tasteful decor the rooms were spacious and clean, beds comfortable, food excellent in every way. Toiletries are provided but ask for tea and coffee facilities if you like your morning and afternoon cuppa. If you're fussy about your hair dryer take your own or speak to reception as the one in the bathroom doesn't have a nozzle. USB sockets are provided in the clock next to the bed. The nature reserve and private beach are within walking distance but there was always plenty of space around the pool. The salads at the pool bar were scrumptious - ideal for a light lunch. Faro airport is only a 20 minute drive away and although planes were visible from the hotel they didn't bother us. A shuttle bus from the hotel to the nearest shopping centre operates twice a day.
