At Vale Do Lobo Resort, travelers consistently praise the expansive grounds, beach access, and spacious villas or apartments, while noting dated interiors in places, occasional maintenance problems, construction noise near some units, and extra fees for several amenities.
Many guests find staff friendly and the on-site shuttle responsive, though a few report brusque reception, slow resolutions, and rushed check-out. Cleanliness is generally good, but several reviews cite mould, ants, leaks, and inconsistent housekeeping. Dining options are plentiful on site and nearby, with live music; quality varies and prices can be high. Expect a spacious, amenity-rich stay best for those comfortable with a large, resort-style environment.

Likes: Great beach with plenty of space and sunbeds. Friendly staff at the spa. Great staff (of particular mention, Isabela) at breakfast. Helpful drivers with the free shuttle service which also takes you to the other end of the beach where Izzy and julias restaurants are. Lovely beach walk. Accomodation beautiful and spacious albeit needing some redecorating detail, newer soft furninshings and some electrics unused and no longer working. Outdoor spaces are all kept pristine. The golf greens look immaculate. Safe an secure resort. Variety of dining choices. Entertainment at the square is good. Dislikes: most things other than the outdoor pool incur an additional and sizable fee. One particular reception staff seems unhappy and abrupt in role. Breakfast quality adequate, not 5 star. Spa is dated and I think awaiting refurbishment. The resort is really bursting at the seams and ever growing - this means unless you are staying centrally it feels quite isolating especially with lots of empty properties in September. Definitely one of those places that gets its 5 star from amenities rather than that extra something special. Would recommend requesting accomodation closer to the beach.

Although this was a beautiful property it is currently next to a large construction project so lots of hammering and saws throughout the day. The resort is gigantic, there's only one shuttle van, we waited up to 15 minutes a number of times to get yo various locations. The pool service is the worst on the planet, six male servers wandering about lost. The restaurant prices are very very expensive, the FG ood mediocre however the people are nice. The resort staff were always friendly and helpful. This place is really designed for golfers, spend most of the time on the fairway and minimal time at the room. If you do decide to book here bring lots of cash and good earplugs.

Property at this resort is very large definitely need a car or Bicycle, lots of walking, This townhouse is far walk to beach (we drove) it had 3 floors 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms on 3rd floor and first floor had pullout full couch and 1/2 bath sleeps 6 comfortably lots of space.Modern very clean house, pool was very clean, safe and quiet area, basic stock in the kitchen. Check-in is only after 5 pm Grocery store is nearby In order to access the gym, you need to pay €115 per person per week. Never have I had to pay at a resort for gym access…. Can not bring water or snacks to the pool area! You have to purchase them there no exceptions. You have to pay for beach chairs and umbrella at beach, house does not supply. They do have a shuttle service around the property you can call for. If you drive closer to the beach you will have to pay for parking. In my opinion, you’re really only renting out the property. The resort is separate. Anything you want to do at the property you have to pay for. Pool towels were supplied

Spacious, clean, well equipped and top condition. Our apartment (essentially part of a large villa) was perfect for a week away with a 5 month old. We thought we had to much room but it made the trip so much easier to spread out and not be confined to a hotel room or suite. The finish of the villa was fantastic, kitchen and appliances made it a smooth trip with baby. Plus a private patio and pool was perfect for relaxing there - the resort was walkable (20 mins on average to restaurants and beaches) which was perfect for us as we like to explore by foot and not drive. Use of the facilities was always seamless and guest card discounts were handy. However, when we did use the shuttle it was easy and prompt. Would recommend and will stay again next year!

We enjoyed our week here. Roomy, comfortable, clean accommodation whilst a little dated. Excellent air conditioning which makes such a difference. Great on demand shuttle service which is essential around a huge estate if you have no car. Decent local dining options an enjoyable walk from our apartment. Fantastic local supermarket available by shuttle. Late return of deposit was a little disappointing and we had to ask for our welcome gift offered by Expedia. Excellent pool area but ridiculous pricing for a space at the beach!

This is a masive resort with two golf courses that look very challenging. The restaurants were great, The Well was our favorite place to eat. The shuttle service is a must and very efficient. They included the Well pool and amenities which are great. We really enjoyed ourselves and would go back for sure.

The property was well appointed and spacious with good decor and furnishings. The property was generally clean, however, the outside terraces were dusty and hadn’t been swept or washed. There was a general lack of attention to detail, eg., a dangerous plank of wood sticking up on one of the terraces and two enormous dead plants both inside and outside the property. There was building work to the right and left of the property which was noisy.

This is a townhouse in a beautiful resort with lots of amenities including golf, tennis, restaurants, etc. the house is in a good shape and fully equipped. The biggest issue was that the basement (where 2 out 3 beds are located) is very mouldy and you can see walls are pealing. That caused us some health problems. For this reason I would not recommend this property.

Our unit was moldy, patched up from water damage, the shower leaked all over the floor, there was no housekeeping so there was a charge (12 euros) for fresh towels. To be fair we were not charged for the fresh towels after I told reception that I had used our towels to mop up the floor after the shower leaks. To top it off- there is charge to use the in-room safe. The resort shuttle (apparently only 1 small van) cannot handle the guest traffic after dinner so wait times were unacceptably long. It's a beautiful resort but needs some service and architectural upgrading. Many rental units are privately owned and offer short term rentals (like ours) so you get what seems leftover. However- the front desk staff were quite accommodating and friendly and informative in addressing our issues even though corporate polices tied their hands on being able to address some of the issues we encountered.

Bed comfort was horrendous… Very basic bedding, two separate beds in both bedrooms and at no point were we asked if we needed a double bed. The mattresses were the most basic you can get. There were some very basic food items provided but not nearly enough. Have stayed at this resort a number of times before and the stay has mostly been acceptable but this time it was not what we had experienced previously.

The property, our apartment was nice, a bit tired and old, and air conditioning units on the balcony that were so loud it made it hard to sleep, when maintenance eventually came out to see it, they just shrugged and said 'they're old, nothing I can do'. The resort is massive and they have a shuttle service to get you around to the beach or supermarket etc...this was very good, very quick, and very needed. The resort has a selection of restaurants by the beach, we hated this area, it was like a bad food court, food was poor quality, the entertainment was bad karaoke and it was just full of young kids running and screaming everywhere. We had a 13 year old with us so we weren't expecting a couples holiday, but this was another level. Overall, the resort is pretty, the apartment/villa was good value, and the surrounding area is great with lots of lovely restaurants outside of the resort.

The resort was way too big for my taste - it could have been anywhere in the world. Not very Portugal-like The service wasn’t great. Shuttle took 30-40 minute to get between places. But the worse was coming home the second night to hundreds of ants in the bedroom and on the bed. Called reception and all they gave me was a can of bug spray to handle myself. I couldn’t even sleep in the room after spraying - the fumes were terrible and ants were still crawling. I slept on the uncomfortable plastic leather couch. In the morning, the receptionist and manager said they couldn’t compensate me and laughed it off. I was furious. If you come to Faro, stay in the city. Don’t waste your time or money on Vale de Lobo.
The resort was way too big for my taste - it could have been anywhere in the world. Not very Portugal-like The service wasn’t great. Shuttle took 30-40 minute to get between places.

Likes: Great beach with plenty of space and sunbeds. Friendly staff at the spa. Great staff (of particular mention, Isabela) at breakfast. Helpful drivers with the free shuttle service which also takes you to the other end of the beach where Izzy and julias restaurants are. Lovely beach walk. Accomodation beautiful and spacious albeit needing some redecorating detail, newer soft furninshings and some electrics unused and no longer working. Outdoor spaces are all kept pristine. The golf greens look immaculate. Safe an secure resort. Variety of dining choices. Entertainment at the square is good. Dislikes: most things other than the outdoor pool incur an additional and sizable fee. One particular reception staff seems unhappy and abrupt in role. Breakfast quality adequate, not 5 star. Spa is dated and I think awaiting refurbishment. The resort is really bursting at the seams and ever growing - this means unless you are staying centrally it feels quite isolating especially with lots of empty properties in September. Definitely one of those places that gets its 5 star from amenities rather than that extra something special. Would recommend requesting accomodation closer to the beach.

We enjoyed our week here. Roomy, comfortable, clean accommodation whilst a little dated. Excellent air conditioning which makes such a difference. Great on demand shuttle service which is essential around a huge estate if you have no car. Decent local dining options an enjoyable walk from our apartment. Fantastic local supermarket available by shuttle. Late return of deposit was a little disappointing and we had to ask for our welcome gift offered by Expedia. Excellent pool area but ridiculous pricing for a space at the beach!

Location
Situated in a large, high-end estate by the beach and golf, with restaurants and supermarkets accessible; many places are walkable but distances can be long, so the shuttle or a car helps. Construction near some units affected stays.

Property 1243 is a very nice 2 bedroom town house in excellent condition but is currently surrounded by major construction works and therefore is extremely noisy from 8-5pm except Sundays. They are building new pavements and roads outside the property and it’s also an entrance to larger construction site and therefore is used by large JCB’s. We booked a 3 night stay and were informed by reception at Vale de Lobo that we would have been made aware of the construction site on our booking with Expedia. However this is not true. Please avoid property 1243 during these major works. Vale de lobo did very little to help with this situation and just blamed us.

Although this was a beautiful property it is currently next to a large construction project so lots of hammering and saws throughout the day. The resort is gigantic, there's only one shuttle van, we waited up to 15 minutes a number of times to get yo various locations. The pool service is the worst on the planet, six male servers wandering about lost. The restaurant prices are very very expensive, the FG ood mediocre however the people are nice. The resort staff were always friendly and helpful. This place is really designed for golfers, spend most of the time on the fairway and minimal time at the room. If you do decide to book here bring lots of cash and good earplugs.

Property at this resort is very large definitely need a car or Bicycle, lots of walking, This townhouse is far walk to beach (we drove) it had 3 floors 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms on 3rd floor and first floor had pullout full couch and 1/2 bath sleeps 6 comfortably lots of space.Modern very clean house, pool was very clean, safe and quiet area, basic stock in the kitchen. Check-in is only after 5 pm Grocery store is nearby In order to access the gym, you need to pay €115 per person per week. Never have I had to pay at a resort for gym access…. Can not bring water or snacks to the pool area! You have to purchase them there no exceptions. You have to pay for beach chairs and umbrella at beach, house does not supply. They do have a shuttle service around the property you can call for. If you drive closer to the beach you will have to pay for parking. In my opinion, you’re really only renting out the property. The resort is separate. Anything you want to do at the property you have to pay for. Pool towels were supplied

Spacious, clean, well equipped and top condition. Our apartment (essentially part of a large villa) was perfect for a week away with a 5 month old. We thought we had to much room but it made the trip so much easier to spread out and not be confined to a hotel room or suite. The finish of the villa was fantastic, kitchen and appliances made it a smooth trip with baby. Plus a private patio and pool was perfect for relaxing there - the resort was walkable (20 mins on average to restaurants and beaches) which was perfect for us as we like to explore by foot and not drive. Use of the facilities was always seamless and guest card discounts were handy. However, when we did use the shuttle it was easy and prompt. Would recommend and will stay again next year!

Gorgeous 5 days ,i was recuperating from a hip replacement 5 weeks before, i had my hip destroyed by Covid and my surgery had already been cancelled twice that summer because i got Covid in June ,3 days before my original operation. In summary we were desperate for a short flight,my husband wanted to join a tennis camp. Everyone, Everyone was so love,in particular our driver Jose,a complete gentleman. It was incredibly relaxing even though it tortured me not being able to swim. 2 comments,Well is crazy overpriced food and not brilliant, a caeser salad for 20l8 euro,crazy. Smash was beautiful, elegant staff and well priced delicious food,Montys staff also lovely. We were really impressed guys . The major thing, i was on 2 crutches as a young man after major surgery and the access to the Well was terrible but the worst was the awful smelly dark toilet in Well. No changing rooms,ot always smelled it was dark and Well pool and bar etc is really expensive. You guys need to sort thst out. We met loads of people with plenty of money who chose Smash instead! Staff in smash elegant and food half the price and lovely toilets

Une vraie belle découverte ! D’autant plus que nous y sommes allés durant la saison basse donc les prix étaient modérés et le resort était relativement peu rempli. Un immense et impressionnant resort. La maison était juste immense pour trois personnes (3 chambres, 4 terrasses & balcons), spacieuse et très bien équipée. Les bars et restaurants sont également agréables. Plage privée également. Nous n’avons malheureusement pas pu utiliser le golf ou club de tennis.

The property, our apartment was nice, a bit tired and old, and air conditioning units on the balcony that were so loud it made it hard to sleep, when maintenance eventually came out to see it, they just shrugged and said 'they're old, nothing I can do'. The resort is massive and they have a shuttle service to get you around to the beach or supermarket etc...this was very good, very quick, and very needed. The resort has a selection of restaurants by the beach, we hated this area, it was like a bad food court, food was poor quality, the entertainment was bad karaoke and it was just full of young kids running and screaming everywhere. We had a 13 year old with us so we weren't expecting a couples holiday, but this was another level. Overall, the resort is pretty, the apartment/villa was good value, and the surrounding area is great with lots of lovely restaurants outside of the resort.

Dining at restaurants along the beach and to the east and west of VDL was excellent. Highly recommend were Bold Octopus, Passeo2, Bovino, Brooks, and the Cheeky Pub and for fun was BJ’s Beach Club. Live Music everywhere. The Villa was equipped with small but full kitchen, washing machine, iron and hairdryer. Shuttle staff was always on time and most courteous. Ubers were great as well! A yes, we must return!

Apartment 848, clean and spacious. What was a really nice touch arriving after 10pm was fresh bread, butter, jam and milk. Thank you! Wifi in apartment n restaurants. Close to the Tennis club but we choose to use our breakfast voucher in the Doce cafe which was a 1k walk, which was lovely but u can use the resort shuttle taxi. The 3 staff in Doce were brilliant each morning, Fantastic cocktails in beach club too, it was quiet in October but great music by DJ pool water is cool but refreshing! We enjoyed watching the tennis & Paddle and would definitely book if we were back. The beach is flawless and lovely to watch the golfers. Really nice wide spread resort, the hire car was handy when we decided to eat off site.

Overall, would recommend. A few things that could have made things even better - the resort is so huge, it can be confusing to figure out where everything is (there is a paper map provided during check in, but think an interactive/app would be much easier to navigate). It’s not always clear what is/isn’t included when staying at the resort (lots of things are discounted, but lots aren’t). The pool is a beach club. Not always suitable for children (we had our 2.5 year old with us and it could be a little rowdy in the afternoons/evenings. V quiet in the mornings. Also worth nothing that a DJ starts in the afternoon and the loud speakers are beside the kids pool making it unsuitable for young families in the afternoon/evening). The beach loungers are cash only - not a problem other than we didn’t know and had to trek back to our villa to get some as only had our phones for payment. Pristine accommodation with exceptional amenities. If returning, would get a villa with a pool next time. Parking meters at beach were broken in lots of spots so could be hard to make payment to avoid any fines. Staff in reception a little cold at times, but overall in the restaurants, beach club etc friendly and helpful. Prices reasonable for an upscale location with lots of choice for meals (of varying quality and choice). We didn’t use the shuttle as we had a rental car, and we were glad we had it as with a small child waiting up to 30 mins (as quoted at check in) would not have worked for us.
