Across reviews of Victoria Golf Resort and Spa Managed by Accor, guests consistently praise the friendly staff, generous breakfast, and relaxing pools, while noting occasional maintenance niggles and that access to the indoor pool costs extra.
Many find the location peaceful but somewhat remote, with a car helpful and the marina shuttle running on a limited schedule. Rooms are generally spacious and comfortable, though dated decor, awkward lighting or fixtures, and occasional noise from events or large groups disappoint some guests. Food feedback varies, with some standout restaurants contrasted by overpriced drinks, high prices, and uninspiring menus or atmosphere. Overall, expect a relaxing stay with strong service and amenities, tempered by a few inconsistencies.

This is a beautiful hotel, although in some places, it could do with some refurbishment. The staff are excellent, very helpful and the pool service was very efficient. We enjoyed the complementary shuttle service to the Marina every night, although it would have been nice if the last bus back had been after 9pm. Highly recommend this hotel.

The Anatara Vilamoura falls significantly short of its purported 5-star status. The disparity between the advertised luxury and the actual condition of the property is evident in many aspects. Coupled with inconsistent and inadequate service, this makes for a disappointing guest experience that does not justify this price point, particularly as a family. The property exhibits clear signs of wear and tear, with poorly maintained hallways, stained or strained furniture, and damaged fixtures. The cleanliness of guest rooms was inconsistent, and the overall ambience is removed from the luxury typically associated with a 5-star establishment. The presence of a construction right next door does not help the situation, as no extra effort seems to be made to clean the red dust from the balconies or chairs. Service levels are consistently unsatisfactory. Poolside attentiveness at the family pool is lacking, forcing guests to actively seek service rather than receiving proactive care. (to be fair to the staff present: there were just too few to cover the whole family pool area and do the towel service and man the pool restaurant, this is a management issue). On the plus side: The family pool is quite warm in temperature which is comfortable for children. There are enough chairs and umbrellas. The hotel's overall management appears lacking. There was no opportunity to provide feedback upon checkout, and the overall guest experience suggests a lack of attention to detail.

Hotel was perfect for short chill out by pool break. Music at pool bar was a bit loud be one day with music that was not relaxing. Some large groups were a bit loud in one day and their swearing language was bot pleasant to hear when they sat may us at the pool . It was only for 2 hours. Not much the hotel can do about that. Bfast was great . Evening bars were quiet and should really have bar near pool in evening to have somewhere nice to sit. Only issue with room was no light that you can see properly at mirror so my wife found it very hard to do makeup. Lights in bedroom badly designed and complex. Too bright or too dark . We had a great weekend and would visit again.

Pleasant hotel, particularly if the weather is good and sun bathing is your goal. In poor weather, problems arise as the indoor pool is chargeable at €25 p.p./ hr. The outdoor pool is heated. A car could be regarded as a must have to get out and about as the hotel is 3 miles out of town. Shuttle bus runs into Vilamoura 3 times per day A few minor maintenance issues with the room. Breakfasts were very good and the Rio restaurant excellent. Staff very efficient and welcoming. Overall we enjoyed our 4 nights there.

Necessitei chamar o diretor do Hotel para mostrar as fotos da suite e do serviço inacabado. Lançaram despesa que nao era de ninha suite e nem ao menos verifivaram o nome e a assinatura diversa.

Toda a equipa do hotel é extremamente educada, atenta e gentil… Desde a super simpática Roberta, à Madeleine, à Bárbara , ao José, ao Miguel, foram todos maravilhosos desde o primeiro momento. O quarto swim-up foi uma surpresa e a nossa filha divertiu-se imenso com a “piscina no quarto”. Genial! O pequeno almoço é irrepreensível e a equipa funciona na perfeição, a meia pensão permitiu conhecer os três restaurantes do hotel… À noite o silêncio, a temperatura e o perfume dos quartos transmite muita serenidade… O hotel é extremamente limpo e bem decorado! Sentimo-nos em casa, foram 6 dias inesquecíveis que deixaram saudades e vontade de voltar seguramente. Até já!

Ein 5 Sterne Hotel, dass mit Ruhe und Erholung wirbt und dann direkt vor den Hotelzimmern Parties/Caterings bis in die Nacht organisiert, erhält nur eine 1 Stern Bewertung. Da das Personal aber wirklich top ist, gibt es 2 Sterne. Das Management sollte aber dringend ausgewechselt werden.

I have stayed in several hotels and this is probably the nicest hotel I have stayed in. The staff are excellent especially those in the restaurants and the reception staff. I even met the manager who was lovely. I plan to return sooner rather than later. There is also a free shuttle that takes you to the Marina and brings you back. All the staff were friendly and were always smiling. They are a credit to an absolutely fantastic hotel. I can't wait to go back.

The presence of a construction right next door does not help the situation, as no extra effort seems to be made to clean the red dust from the balconies or chairs. Service levels are consistently unsatisfactory. Poolside attentiveness at the family pool is lacking, forcing guests to actively seek service rather than receiving proactive care. (to be fair to the staff present: there were just too few to cover the whole family pool area and do the towel service and man the pool restaurant, this is a management issue). On the plus side: The family pool is quite warm in temperature which is comfortable for children. There are enough chairs and umbrellas. The hotel's overall management appears lacking. There was no opportunity to provide feedback upon checkout, and the overall guest experience suggests a lack of attention to detail.
The Anatara Vilamoura falls significantly short of its purported 5-star status. The disparity between the advertised luxury and the actual condition of the property is evident in many aspects. Coupled with inconsistent and inadequate service, this makes for a disappointing guest experience that does not justify this price point, particularly as a family.

Location
Guests like the peaceful, scenic setting by the golf course, though the property sits a few miles from town. The marina shuttle helps, but several note that a car is useful due to limited schedules.

This is a beautiful hotel, although in some places, it could do with some refurbishment. The staff are excellent, very helpful and the pool service was very efficient. We enjoyed the complementary shuttle service to the Marina every night, although it would have been nice if the last bus back had been after 9pm. Highly recommend this hotel.

The area was very beautiful and tranquil, the resort was first class, staff were all friendly and very accommodating, always eager to help. They had free shuttle rides into the Marina and back which was so convenient, with lots of activities on offer. Beaches, shopping malls and supermarkets nearby and a lot of other nearby towns to visit. I definitely will be going back and will recommend it to my friends.

I have stayed in several hotels and this is probably the nicest hotel I have stayed in. The staff are excellent especially those in the restaurants and the reception staff. I even met the manager who was lovely. I plan to return sooner rather than later. There is also a free shuttle that takes you to the Marina and brings you back. All the staff were friendly and were always smiling. They are a credit to an absolutely fantastic hotel. I can't wait to go back.

Pleasant hotel, particularly if the weather is good and sun bathing is your goal. In poor weather, problems arise as the indoor pool is chargeable at €25 p.p./ hr. The outdoor pool is heated. A car could be regarded as a must have to get out and about as the hotel is 3 miles out of town. Shuttle bus runs into Vilamoura 3 times per day A few minor maintenance issues with the room. Breakfasts were very good and the Rio restaurant excellent. Staff very efficient and welcoming. Overall we enjoyed our 4 nights there.

Dining
Breakfast is consistently praised, and several guests highlight excellent on-site restaurants. Others report limited choice or atmosphere, an underwhelming Italian outlet, and overpriced or low-quality drinks, with overall prices feeling high for some.

A very nice hotel with high level of service. What really stands out here is the top notch restaurant down by the hotel. It’s truly amazing. A mix of steaks and seafood, and traditional Portuguese as well as different European courses. Highly recommended.

The hotel staff is very friendly, but the hotel lacks atmosphere and looks dated and kind of depressing, especially inside. It shows non soul, apart maybe from the newly refurbished bar. We where there before main season, mid May, and felt a bit lost in that hotel. Restaurant choice was limited and the menu at the main restaurant was absolutely uninspiring, as was the athmosphere.

Hotel was perfect for short chill out by pool break. Music at pool bar was a bit loud be one day with music that was not relaxing. Some large groups were a bit loud in one day and their swearing language was bot pleasant to hear when they sat may us at the pool . It was only for 2 hours. Not much the hotel can do about that. Bfast was great . Evening bars were quiet and should really have bar near pool in evening to have somewhere nice to sit. Only issue with room was no light that you can see properly at mirror so my wife found it very hard to do makeup. Lights in bedroom badly designed and complex. Too bright or too dark . We had a great weekend and would visit again.

Wir hatten uns sehr auf unseren Aufenthalt im Anantara gefreut, da wir regelmäßig und weltweit in Hotels dieser Gruppe übernachten. Das Zimmer mit direktem Poolzugang war großzügig geschnitten und entsprach größtenteils unseren Erwartungen. Leider wirkte der Rest der Anlage deutlich in die Jahre gekommen. Die Restaurants boten wenig Atmosphäre, und die Küche war eher durchschnittlich – es fehlte an Raffinesse und Feinschliff. Man spürt, dass das Hotel einst ein Top-Haus war, doch heute kann es mit vergleichbaren Spitzenhotels nicht mehr mithalten.
