Vila do Bispo Hotels

Great historical location with fabulous views of ocean

nice big baths,

could have done with a few little things fixed in the room and the fires on in the main rooms in the evening

Room at back of hotel was quite and did not have road noise

Price perhaps in recession times

This place is excellent, we felt almost as being at home! Everywhere clean and well maintained, the pool area is really nice and the service excellent.

If you don't have a car it might be tricky to stay here as it's located between Lagos and Sagres.

clean and tidy ,great staff, in particular the female receptionist Felipiana ? good food and a very good location, we would go again

no

thta you have to pay for the pool towels

The location to one of the more beautiful beaches in Portugal

n/a

a lovely garden and warm welcome

Big hotel with all the facilities you would wish for. Not too crowded when we stayed there. Very friendly staff, who were always ready for us. Nice swimmingpool, if the beach is too windy

We got the room with the nice ocean view. The room itself was comfortable and clean. Good value for the money

Location

NA

the rooms and the location close to beach and restaurants

nothing

Ideally located intimate hotel in the real south-western edge of Europe, beautiful cliffs and a direct descent to the beach, which is unique in this area.

Unfortunately the tiles in the bathroom should be refreshed!

View from the room was absolutely breath-taking. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

The spa was not operational at the time

Lovely ground floor suite - nice people - great breakfast and good service. A place with feel good appeal.

The location was fantastic and the staff very attentive. I would recommended it to any of my friends.

The atmosphere of the resort is wonderfully relaxing - probably because we went in the off season - but still lovely. Can't say what we liked the best as everything was first class - the room, the view, the food, the staff!!

The only thing that we did not like was that we only stayed one night.

we were in a sea beach appartment and could walk straight out of our pattio doors and were right .... i mean right on to the beach. very very romantic

i didnt like leaving ........

I could see cape St Vincent from my balcony as I enjoyed the afternoon sunshine there.

One receptionist was a bit grumpy but the older man was veery pleasant. THey was always someone there and they were efficient enough.

Our room was very spacious and clean with access to the nice pool area. We were there in September and it was very peaceful and quiet. The reception is open 24 hours. It is a short walk to the beach and the main road of bars and restaurants. Also free parking available.

The shower was not attached to the wall in our room but staff were so surly we were afraid to ask about this! One member of staff was on duty the entire time we were there, both night and day which may have explained his grumpiness. Breakfast, although edible was not very nice. Although clean, there were ants everywhere in the hotel. Rooms could do with air conditioning.

The people were friendly and it was a lovely quite hotel. You do need transport though to benefit from the excellent beaches and surrounding countryside...a very pleasent place to stay

the pool area - full stop.

we asked for a quiet room. it was noisy. the room was not ready upon arrival at due time - 1.30 hours late! no refund!the breakfast was plastic ham and cheese and fermenting fruit.insufficient sun beds. no beach towels. no double beds in the hotel - all twin.

the villas were serviced to a very high standard and were very clean

The view from the villa.

Upon arrival at the Quinta Da Encosta Velha Resort, reception staff informed us that they did not have the accommodation which we had booked with booking.com ie 3 bedroomed deluxe villa. However they wanted to 'upgrade' my family to a luxury villa with a private pool. They failed to tell us however, that the villa was about 5 miles away from civilisation across a dirt-track road on the side of a mountain. We arrived in 35 degree heat after travelling for 8 hours, and discovered that the nearest shop was miles away. Therefore as we had arrived by taxi, we were abandoned in a remote area without basics such as water and food. Reception staff did not provide any 'induction' information or advise that a car was essential.

It was a hotel with a very accessable price, and the room was very clean with a gorgeous view. The mattress was in excellent condition, also! The staff was nice and helpful and I felt I made the best choice in staying here!

There really wasn't anything I didn't like.

Location wonderful, apartment good, breakfast ok, staff friendly, restaurants within quarter mile.

Some things in room a little tired

The setting--beautiful, rolling hills in the western Algarve. The staff--friendly, professional, with a "can do" attitude. The villa--enormous, clean, well-equipped with every kitchen amenity and several gorgeous balconies. The pool and spa area was beautiful and large. I could go on about how amazing this place was, but essentially it was the highlight of our entire trip to Portugal!

They didn't provide any shampoo or soaps, but this was a minor point as most of the guests there stay for longer periods so therefore probably bring their own.

While we were vacationing in Spain we took an over-night trip to Portugal. The views from the room were beautiful We actually had such a great time and were so impressed with the Spa and services that when we got back to Spain we recommended Parque Da Floresta to acquaintances who were also staying at the same hotel in Spain and they went for a couple of days.

There was no blow dryer in the room, a minor inconvenience.
