Everything about our stay was great, nothing to complain about. Our room was lovely, big balcony on 11th floor facing Quarteira side, partial sea view. The sunrise every morning was beautiful, sound of the waves at night was so calming. Juao at the reception was super friendly and he remembered our names instantly. Pool area and Pool bar really great. Breakfast was amazing. Lots around within walking distance - restaurants and shopping. Taxi to Albufeira was so cheap just 15 euros . Everything was great. Our holiday was amazing.

I rarely leave reviews but felt I needed to to help others. We stayed at the Tivoli last year and it was fabulous but unavailable for our dates. I chose the Crowne Plaza as it’s supposed to be five star but was disappointed from the second we arrived. The hotel is in desperate need of a returb and is simply incomparable to Tivoli. The check in staff did not offer to assist with our bags and the corridors have zero natural light which felt quite oppressive. The breakfast was good but the daytime staff in the pool bar areas were frankly hostile. No smiles, no making you feel like you are on holiday, just silent serving if you could get a drink. The umbrellas can’t be operated manually around the pool, you have to find a member of staff with a drill to do the operation- this took ages and is so inconvenient if you feel like you need a little shade at any point- I had to sit in the bushes until I could find someone. Bar staff refused to give us a champagne glass for the room and demanded we call room service even though we were going to the room- no poolside towels provided unless you give them a 30 euro deposit despite the fact they have your room number for returns! I paid £1500 for 3 nights and came away feeling robbed. No mini bar in the rooms, well there was a fridge but nothing stocked in it. The extra hangers I requested arrived the following day. Despite the fact the hotel is so dated, the staff could have made the difference and every request felt like an inconvenience

Treated horribly - don’t be tempted -
Our stay began badly and only got worse. There was a booking error which created a double booking and the hotel staff could have fixed the issue but decided to charge me for the first night of the other reservsation. Room was filthy when we arrived

We loved our stay here. Service was exceptional! Clean and smells so good. Great bar and pool. Easy access to the beach. A sign at the entrance would be helpful as it appears you’re pulling into another hotel. The boardwalk was nice but I wouldn’t venture to the left as we felt an unsafe vibe, but the Marina area was great.

Not a 5 star experience
I recently stayed at Crowne Plaza Vilamoura for a few nights, and while there were some positive aspects, a few issues left me feeling underwhelmed. To start with, I was disappointed to encounter silverfish in the bathroom on multiple occasions. This made the bathroom feel less clean and put a damper on the overall experience. Cleanliness is a basic expectation, and this was definitely below par. Another issue was the EUR 25 deposit required per towel. While I understand the need for security, this seemed excessive, especially for a standard hotel. It felt more like a hassle than a necessity. Finally, the queue at breakfast was quite long each morning. The food was decent, but having to wait so long just to get seated and served was frustrating, especially when trying to start the day on a good note. Overall, while the hotel had some good points, these issues made my stay less enjoyable than I had hoped.
