Very clean hotel, excellent location, big rooms, nice pools, Sauna/steam room good.
Breakfast good. Evening buffet average.
Very busy with golfers, so not ideal for non golfing couples.
Excellent coffee shop.
Rooms, particularly bathrooms need updating.
After an issue checking in where our booking was lost Jose placed us in a fab Junior Suite with kitchenette, sofa and bed. All hyper clean with great view of the beach and harbour entrance. Breakfast was the best with great choice from cooked to fruit & yoghurt to pastries. Always love coming to stay and never let's us down. Always recommend Vilamoura and especially the Ampalius.
Great location for marina and beach but next to a beach club which pumped out loud music into the early hours of the morning. Reception and bar staff were very friendly and helpful.
This hotel is one of the best in Vilamoura. The staff are very attentive, the food is excellent with a wide variety of options, and the accommodation is exceptionally clean. We were so impressed that we’ve already booked our next stay.
Very clean and helpful stuff. It is a mixed golf and family hotel so if you want a mostly family environment this is not one for you but the mix worked well for us.
Great location on the beach and 5 minute walk to the harbour with restaurants and bars. The hotel is big with 2 adult pools and a kids pool. The pool is busy but nice to relax in. Staff are friendly and helpful.
Breakfast was good. Hot and cold food available.
The room was nice and clean and comfortable. Air con was great as the weather was starting to get hot.
I felt it was a little pricey for 3 nights. Also I booked a sea view and my room was located more to the side facing the hotel and harbour more with the sea to the left. I would have labelled the room as partial sea view. It’s a solid hotel to stay at.

The room and hotel are very nice. The location is also great. The only issue I had was
Fabulous stay. Room was lovely. Very clean, good size, amazing sea view! The small kitchen area in the room was somewhat of a surprise! (If we had to be picky, an electric kettle would have been useful) Communal areas- pool area, gardens etc were well maintained. Breakfast was great. Good variety, and fresh. The omelette and egg lady was skilled! All of the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful.
