| | | | Review by Diane Asser from London
Vilamoura is a beautiful place and has something for everyone. Whether young or old there are things to do which will fulfill your holiday experience. The Marina with its fabulous boats and chic restaurants and bars makes you feel like a millionaire, and there are also many smaller bars and restaurants to cater for those on a tighter budget. We enjoyed our first visit and will definitely be back.
Review by CLARE CLARKE from PETERSFIELD
THE ONE THING THAT MAKES VILLAMOURA THE PERFECT HOLIDAY DESTINATION IS THE MARINA. WHAT WITH ALL THE WATERSPORTS IMAGINABLE, THE NIGHT LIFE, ALL OF THE VARIED EATING ESTABLISHMENTS. THE ON GOING GROWTH OF THE MARINA. GOLF UNTIL YOU DROP WHEATHER BY FOOT OR BUGGY . OR JUST POP INTO ONE OF MANY OUTLETS THAT WILL ARRANGE YOUR VERY OWN CHOICE OF EXCURSION. FROM HORSERIDING TO A PRIVATE CHARTED POWER BOAT RIDE. A TRIP TO MONCHIQUE/SILVES IN THE MOUNTAINS OR A JOURNEY TO THE END OF THE WORLD AT CABO DE SAO VICENTE.BUT IN ALL OUR VISITS WE JUST LIKED TO UNWIND AND LET THE WORLD GO BY AND IN VILLAMOURA WE FOULD JUST THAT.
Review by Louise Turner from Melrose
We visited Vilamoura in October at the end of the summer season which meant it wasn't too crowded.
Vilamoura is a lovely place to stay. It is clean, family friendly-the kids were treated like royalty in restaurants and it has a really relaxing atmosphere. The marina is great for restaurants and shopping and the beach was clean and safe for the children. We stayed in the Old Town area which is about a 10 minute walk from the main part of town and near all the golf courses. Again the Old Town has a relaxing atmosphere and all the amenities you need a supermarket, restaurants, swimming pools etc. In all, Vilamoura in October is an excellent place to visit for a quiet, chilled out holiday.
Review by John Terry from 22 Moorgate, York. YO24 4HR
Vilamoura is a very cosmopolitan and upmarket place, with lovely atmosphere, very relaxing with lots of good restaurants and shops. The harbour looks beautiful at night.

Review by Lisa Trimble from Newbury
Just a feeling of letting the world go by - boys (or girls) can golf whilst girls (or boys) can drink sangrias looking over a fabulous marina with not a care!
Review by Shona Bowman from Arbroath
Vilamoura is a very family friendly place. There are plenty of restaurants for the kids to eat and are always made to feel welcome. The beaches are fantastic - our favourite was falesia beach which had excellent facilties including a bar/restaurants and very clean toilet facilties. Our children visited zoomarine and slide and splash which are both less then 45 mins away and have free buses running to them. They thought they were fantastic. Myself and husband visited the town of Silves with its wonderful Moorish Castle. vi
Vilamoura is a purpose built resort so lacks a little character but makes up for it in terms of facilties.
Not for children
Have just returned from a week's holiday in Vilamoura we were very lucky with the weather - it was quite hot whilst we were there.
It isn't really a place suited to children although Albufeira is quite close by.
The marina is very nice, full of places to eat. There are also plenty of shops around the marina too.
Lots of places for eating and shopping in side streets which all go off from the marina. The food is very good and very reasonable. We also found the people really friendly.
We liked it so much we have already booked for next year but for two weeks this time so that we can also see more of The Algarve.
