Barrocal Scuba Diving Holidays

We had a wonderful stay at Flamingos Solgados. The accommodation was beautifully presented and very well equipped. Staff were all very friendly.

Stayed here in August with my husband and 6 year old for 12 nights. The rooms are modern, clean and beds very comfortable. The pool was the highlight, it's huge, with 2 smaller kids pools. Plenty of sun loungers and nice fresh towels every day - so no need to bring any. The breakfast was fantastic! We paid for the buffet one evening which was very expensive and I wasn't impressed with the food at all. The Italian restaurant was nice but overpriced. The hotel is located next to the beach which is great but we discovered all of the sun loungers had reserved signs on them so we couldn't stay long with no shade. There really isn't much around the hotel at all, we ended up paying quite a bit to go into albuferia in the evenings. Overall we loved the hotel itself but wouldn't go back due to the location and very overpriced food and drinks.

Amazing staff. Clean. Vibes.

The resort was very nice, right on the beach. Pools were nice. The pool chairs were kinda old and worn out. The place was full of 18-20 year old british kids who treated the pool like they were the only ones there. You could tell the other guests were not happy about it too. Food at the resort wasn’t great. We went to the a la cart breakfast which took forever because they had one server and the kitchen was in a separate building. The other restaurants on property were not rated well so we ate elsewhere.

This is a beautiful hotel in a great location. On arrival Delphine at reception was very warm,friendly and helpful. He greeted us warmly each day. The other reception staff were also wonderfully kind and helpful. The room was sparkling clean. The cleaners work particularly hard to maintain the cleanliness of the rooms daily. Janeth from the dining hall greeted us with a warm smile every morning that we went for breakfast. There is a great breakfast selection but will be slightly limited for those who are vegan. The pool isn’t huge but didn’t feel small either. Even with multiple families, there was enough space for everyone to have fun and play. I would say, they could do with having a few more sun loungers though.

Staff amazing excellent breakfast very comfortable

The room looks old, old TV but surrounding the hotel is great

One night stay at Pestana Alvor Park. Staff were prompt and polite, and the room more than we needed

We really enjoyed our stay here! The amenities were excellent, and the location made it an easy home base for visiting Faro and Lagos. Vilamoura itself is also a beautiful town to explore—definitely take an Uber or Bolt to the marina, it’s worth it! The beds were super comfortable, and having a mini kitchen was a great bonus. Our only complaint was the shower drainage, but management was quick to respond and had a plumber in to improve it, which we really appreciated. Overall, a great stay and we’d definitely come back again.
