The hotel is an older style, but exceptionally clean and the beds were so comfortable. We were in D block by the road and yes there is some road noise but this gets less late eve. Still had best sleep in a long time. Saw many staff throughout our stay checking and cleaning all areas, all seemed happy in their work and were friendly. Pool area had plenty of beds and umbrellas and beach is 2 min walk. Thanks for a lovely break.

Pros: Property is at an excellent location 🙂 The beach is really good. We had an excellent time this summer. The property also has multiple swimming pools both outdoor and indoor. Indoor ones are warm and also has a Jacuzzi. Hotel staff was also very helpful. We truly enjoyed our 4 nights stay at Jardim de Vau. Cons: I had booked this property through Expedia but one small concern from my end was that our room didn't have washing machine. Rest all room seem to have it. Otherwise, everything was good 👍

Hotel is in an ideal location. It is quiet but there are several nice bar/restaurants within 2mins walk. Beautiful pool which is spotless clean. Pool bar is excellent with reasonable prices.The whole property is very clean, inside and out. Gorgeous beach is a few steps away with 3 bar/restaurants on or overlooking beach. About a 20 mins lovely walk along the prom with stunning views, into centre of very lively portimao.

We were upgraded to a 2 bedroom apartment which was very nice and quiet. Some room service every day was nice but not necessary. It was a bit strange that we were told that we had to buy our own dish soap to wash our dishes. Now we have a large amount left over. Otherwise it was very lovely. Beautiful pool.

Amazing for a family, immaculate outside pool, great inside pool, everything well taken care of, and friendly staff always eager to help. just 1 step from the beach, with a cat colony outside the gate eager to be pet'd - could not ask for better place. will definitely return. Only thing that needs urgent uplift and improvement is the wi-fi - it is impossible to work from this location with the wi-fi provided.

Easy access to the seafront. Lovely walks around. Very comfortable beds. Every single person working there was very polite and helpful. We love swimming and indoor pool was fantastic, apart of opening times 9-7, . And also when we booked, it was including steam and sauna, but you have to pay for it and pre-book it now:-{ so not very happy about that.
