“cases not included”

Cases not included!! upon arrival at Manchester airport check in we were told that our baggage wasn't paid for, £76 later we were on our way. Verbal confirmation of baggage inclusion was given by Expedia before travelling. Monarch were usual solid performers with both flights on time. Prado villas was perfectly pleasant although very basic but comfortable enough. The TV didn't work very well and kitchen appliances could do with updating. That said i'm not sure you will find better value for money anywhere on this site and the staff were very friendly. A car is a must as would be a good 20 minute walk to marina and central Vilamoura.

“Excellent value”

We have just (Oct 2010) spent two weks at Prado Villas. It was our third visit and will not be our last. A very pleasant site, spotlessly clean site and villa. Well equipped and comfortable, it would be very difficult to beat at or near the price. 3/4 mile from the centre of Vilamoura, a car is, if not essential, very advisable.

“Very enjoyable”

We spent two weeks at the beginning of October. For a quiet relaxing holiday It would be difficult to beat except at a much higher price. It was our second visit and we will probably return next year. In view of the distance to the marina and beaches a car is desirable. There is a supermarket , a couple of snack bars and a small restaurant within easy walking distance but the supermarket is very limited in scope.

“prado villas”

excellent value for money, loverly gardens with pool, we were there in early october, the weather was great and hardly anyone around the pool, a car is a must. Villa was clean and spacious, everyone very friendly.

“We would certainly go again!”

Isabel who greeted us at Reception was extremely professional, helpful and kind. The pool was beautifully maintained and clean. The villa was slightly tired-looking and would benefit from a refurbishment, and either air-con or fans. The maids/cleaners were excellent and friendly. It was a pity that the bistro/restaurant weren't open, as we feel they would do good business selling drinks, ices, breakfasts, etc.. Nice restaurant/meal at Prado do Golf, with nice staff, doing good business at Prado Villas loss... but still a car drive away. Car is essential for easy access to shops, town etc..

“impressed”

a nice place to stay, if you have a car. the poolbar was not open during our stay in July. no shelter on private terrace. having breakfast (35) in the sun was the hardest part of our holiday. anyway we had a great stay at our prado villa.

“Very quite villas”

Too far from anything. Bar and bistro not open and havn't been open for at least 4yrs. We where not told this before we went. People should be informed about this.You need a car to get anywhere.No aircon which you need because you can not open your windows at night because of mozzies.It gets too hot and stuffy in the rooms at night. Would not go back again.

“Value For Money”

Lovely quiet place to stay although not that straight forward to find. We hired a car so we were able to explore the surrounding area without any problem. On arrival no-one was at reception but there was a mobile number on the door which we rang and a maid soon appeared with our key. Basic accommodation,bathroom a bit tired looking but spotlessly clean. The sprinklers were annoying as they went off at what seemed 3am every morning and were very noisy. No AC, but felt safe enough to keep windows open at night. Not sure about the security on doors and windows was adequate enough though but there is a safe in the room for your valuables. We were a little concerned about this as there was some building work going on nearby with people coming and going. Very friendly staff and would use again as so cheap and good value for money.

“Great Value, Good Location”

Fantastic value, well equipped villas, need a car to get around and there are some great beaches and places to eat within striking distance. Is a bit of a place to find so hopefully this will help follow signs to Hilton, as you approach roundabout directly in front of Hilton hotel take the 3rd exit ( Caminto dos golfes) so the Hilton is on your right, then take the first left opposite the rear entrance/exit to the Hilton (caminto dos pinhais) then take the right turn approx 150 yards onto (caminto do miradouro) then prado villas is approx 100 yards on the right ( volta de manha)
