Prado Villas

Would I return? Yes most . Came for a new year break. Site was quiet only a few people staying. Cafe bar was only open on occasion and closed from New Years Day onwards. Used Ubers to and from Vilamoura Marina (about €4/5 Euros each way). We did walk in one day but that was about a 40 min stroll. Villas are lovely and well equipped. The grounds were neatly manicured and the only thing I can see is the pathways are very rustic and very uneven (wear decent flat shoes or trainers do not attempt heels!). Lovely place we liked the quiet as daughter is autistic so perfect for us. If u want to be in the middle of all the action and activities this ones not for you, but if u like peace and tranquility staying in a residential area its ideal.

All great!

These villas are in a lovely location and so quiet, you can hear birds singing and the occasional smack of a golf ball but no traffic noise. The villas are spacious and well equipped, there is a pool bar which is open until approx 7pm, we ate there three times and the food was nice and very reasonably priced also the staff are very welcoming and friendly. Some reviews have criticised the grounds for not being well maintained and this is partly true. The paths are uneven and the gardens could be kept neater. All in all though, these are very nice villas and it didn’t put us off giving it a good review, Prado villas are in a residential area of Vilamoura and although they are a half hour walk from the marina, it is a pleasant stroll and if you prefer not to walk you can order an Uber which takes five minutes to the marina and is less than five euros. There are a few restaurants close by, we only tried Graces restaurant though which was excellent but we only discovered it on our last night. We will definitely go there next time we are Vilamoura. There are also plenty of eating options at the marina to suit all budgets.

Arrived today staying at Prado Villas accommodation nice but there is nothing nearby to do not a great start to the holiday. Marina apparently 35 min walk. Can't find any places to eat near here. We have been to Albufeira and fancied a change sorry we bothered.

We arrived to a lovely warm welcome from the lady in reception who said our room was ready despite us being early and she showed us to our accomodation. The apartment was a good size and modern with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and an open plan lounge, kitchen /diner with a decent sofa bed. The accommodation was quite well equipped with dishwasher, washing machine, iron and ironing board and plenty of utensils. It would have been nice to have a bottle of water and some complimentary tea/coffee on arrival as we had to go out and get some straight away so anyone with a late flight would struggle. The cleaners came to the apartment roughly every 2-3 days to replace towels and wipe round at best. The beds were only changed once during a 14 day stay and not at all if you only stay a week. The patio was a bit disappointing as the furniture was worn and dirty and had not been swept or cleaned. The footpaths around the complex were difficult to walk on and pull cases on as they were not level and a strange design. There was no reserving of sunbeds so there was no difficulty getting one whilst we were there but there was a lack of parasols. Only 6 parasols to approx 50 loungers. The pool wasn't regularly cleaned either, at most places I've stayed they are cleaned daily but here we only saw thfm clean it 3 times in 2 weeks. The snack bar was closed on a Friday and is run by young people who seem to have no clue about cleaning up and wiping tables. I had to ask for a table to be cleaned before I could sit down. They did however have a decent menu and did nice cocktails. The property is a good 40 minutes walk to the marina but is in a lovely quiet residential area so is exceptionally peaceful at night. You can easily get an Uber to the marina for 4/5 euros. There is a small Spar and a handful of restaurants/bars approx 10 min walk away which is useful. We had a good holiday but wouldn't return to the accomodation as the cleanliness and upkeep let it down. Shame really because it could be really nice if the owners would invest a bit more into it.

Friendly staff, great room and views. I would definitely come back. All the restaurants had great food and service was quickFriendly staff, great room and views. I would definitely come back. All the restaurants had great food and service was quick
