On the whole, the hotel is ok and the staff are reasonably friendly. The breakfast is good. Cleaning services are a little mediocre. The gym is well equipped. The pool is a bit cold. Charging for the use of the balls for the pool table and for coffee pods in the rooms (for a 5 star hotel), really leaves a bad impression. A very basic knowledge of behavioural science should tell the management that these practices should be revised, as should asking for a deposit to use the towels at the pool. I don’t think customers will have a terrible experience at this hotel, but I personally wouldn’t visit again, or to the Faro region for that matter. Andalusia is much better (far more culture), and cheaper.

Our experience at the Crowne Plaza, Vilamoura, was generally positive. The staff demonstrated friendliness and helpfulness, and the hotel offers comprehensive facilities. However, there are notable areas for improvement: Despite its 5-star rating, the hotel’s cleanliness fell short of expectations. Notably, the outdoor pool requires attention (there was even a deceased fish at the bottom). Frequent calls to reception were necessary due to housekeeping oversights. Insufficient towels, face towels, and water bottles were recurring issues, although room cleaning remained satisfactory. The restaurant’s dinner service left room for improvement. Fortunately, the abundance of dining options in the area mitigated this concern. The kids’ pool was uncomfortably cold during cooler days, prompting us to use the larger pool instead. On a positive note, the hotel’s location is exceptional, mere steps from the beach and a convenient 15-minute walk to the Marina. The breakfast selection is commendable, and the Spa, while pleasant, could benefit from additional attention, similar to the outdoor pool.

Overall a very pleasant stay. We will definitely recommend to friends and hopefully come back in the future if we get to visit Portugal again. My highlight of the visit would definitely be the Spa facilities. The outdoor pool was lovely, and very attentive staff, even offering complimentary fruit and drinks. The marina is in perfect walking distance, so many restaurants and bars to choose from.
