Apartamentos Clube Vilarosa, ปอร์ติเมา

With its friendly staff and the way the apartments are spread on site, Clube VilaRosa succeeds in offering a pleasant stay for a successful holiday. Being situated just a short walk away from Praia da Rocha, it does make life easier to any holidaygoers who prefers a quiet area surrounded by everything within short reach. On our 4 nights stay, during New Years Eve, we had an enjoyable time apart from the WiFi which did not work at all, as our devices could not be connected whatsoever, so there is room for improvements on this part, as Clube VilaRosa advertises itself as a facility that offers WiFi services. It goes without saying that it most likely requires a much more powerful WiFi router. The kitchen had decent utensils but no detergent nor sponge have not been provided for washing up the dishes, so it needs attention on this bit. Clube VilaRosa does provide air con, so anyone may cool down or warm up when cold, which is good but not ideal nowadays. In terms of having a shower, our apartment had a boiler that was not able to cope with our demands on some occasions, meaning that if someone wants to have a longer shower or a soaking bath, the hot water will run out shortly. All in all, for a hassle free holiday, I would personally go for another accomodation, as Portimao offers a great variety of places to go for.

We stayed in a superior 2 bedroom self-catering apartment, which had all facilities required, including coffee machine, teapot, microwave, pots, pans, crockery, corkscrew, wine glasses, chopping board, utensils. We just had to buy washing-up liquid and food. The apartment has a large living room/front door entrance wirh a separate kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom. The twin bedroom has a door leading to a patio area, as did the lounge. We had a large patio area with table, 4 chairs and 2 sun loungers. I would recommend Clube Vilarosa superior 2 bed apartments to families. It is worth paying a bit more for all the facilities for an enjoyable holiday. It was fairly quiet when we stayed in October. It is a ten to fifteen minute walk to the beach, restaurants and shops. A taxi costs only four to five euros each way. Most days we walked and returned by taxi.

Great place to stay for a beach vacations and some cliff exploring

We stayed at the Vilarosa hotel in August and had a generally great time! The hotel is well located (c10 mins from the beach) and is ok to get to without a car. The pool is great and is very suitable for kids though it was very busy - understandable given it’s August. In summary it’s a decent hotel but not exceptional

Arrived 4hrs before check-in time, however the receptionist was extremely friendly and helpful. Offered room to change and store luggage and arranged for our room to be ready in a hour's time. Stayed self-catering and kitchen area was well equipped, although did need to buy washing up liquid and sponge. Room was serviced and bin emptied daily. There was a charge for use of room's safe but it was only 2.5 euros per day. 2 pool areas were quiet, with no scrambling for sun beds, although this may be different in peak season. Praia da Rocha a 10 min walk with wide choice of bars and restaurants and Portimao 15-20mins walk.
