Fabulous hotel for a fabulous holiday
Just got back home after a fantastic weeks holiday at the AP Victoria. The hotel is modern and clean. The food was delicious and there was plenty of choice, the desserts have left my clothes feeling a little snug. We were all inclusive and definitely made the most of it, a great choice of cocktails and other drinks available. My eldest had a fantastic time utilising the football pitch, along with a large group of other children of the same age. We never struggled to get a sun bed and were pleased with the rule that sun beds couldn’t be reserved until the pool opened at 9am, there were usually still sun beds available until at least 10am if you didn’t mind being in a slightly shady spot. Sometimes you weren’t served immediately at the bar, but during the whole week we never waited for longer than 5 mins even at the busiest time. We never struggled for a table for the evening entertainment either, which was varied through the week. We would definitely bring our two boys back here, the only negative I had was that I didn’t book ten nights as I wasn’t ready to come home.
10 fabulous days in Portugal! (Family of 7)
We have just returned from 10 days of pure luxury. Should be 5* Our holiday was made perfect by Gustavo who helped us in every single way. We have been to many countries on holiday but have never felt so welcome as we did here. Gustavo was fun, cheerful and always happy to help! The hotel was very clean, comfortable and fairly quiet, with entertainment if you wanted it. Magic show was worth going to, he was so funny! The food was good, especially the deserts which were the best we have ever had in an all inclusive. Soup was amazing every day. Only criticism would be that we had to sit separately from our grandchildren and daughter as they only had tables seating 4, that said, on a couple of occasions waiting staff put tables together for us where possible, again Gustavo went out of his way to accommodate and it didn’t spoil our stay, just something to consider if you are a larger family. Football pitch was enjoyed each day by my grandson! Pool constantly cleaned along with the pool area, nothing left untouched. Beach was a pleasant walking distance, although no toilets or shops and expensive parasol hire. The reception team ( Pedro) arranged a boat trip to Bengali caves and we were lucky enough to see some dolphins-what an experience! Overall we would definitely recommend and return….Obrigado to all at AP Victoria! Ken Oliver and family.xx
Brilliant family holiday
Lovely hotel-spotlessly clean, great food. Small and friendly atmosphere. Entertainment team fab- we will miss Marta and Jojo! Close to a stunning beach. First family holiday where we are considering returning next year. Perfect! Thankyou.
A fantastic stay!
We have just come back after a week here. We had a fantastic time!
The rooms were plenty big enough for a family of 4 and the cleaning staff were great - making beds, swapping towels and providing bottled water each day. We had a room facing the gardens so it was quiet.
We stayed half board and enjoyed the breakfast. The kids especially liked the pancakes every morning.
The entertainment staff were great. They remembered the kids names each day and there was a lot of activities that our kids (and us) enjoyed taking part in.
There wasn't always enough sunbeds but we were still able to grab a couple if we were patient and waited.
Location was perfect for us as we didnt want to be too close to Albufeira. We used Ubers when going out for the day and the walk to the beach was quick and easy.
Overall we had a brilliant time here and would definitely come back again! 😊
Review by Alice H The Hague, The Netherlands
Ok.
The location is great, close to local beaches and only a short drive from Vilamoura etc. The hotel itself is incredible busy, and being able to find a seat by the pool can be a struggle. The photos on the website make the pool look much bigger than it actually is. Certainly not big enough for the number of visitors they have.
The food and drink is very expensive. I ordered the same 3 drinks from the pool bar on 3 different occasions and was charged a different price every time!
The rooms are clean and tidy, but small. The room I booked was advertised as having its own kitchen with microwave, oven etc but there was no microwave (only a small issue). It is supposed to sleep up to 5 people, but that means 3 people have to sleep on a sofa bed in the middle of the lounge, which can cause problems. The wardrobe in the bedroom can only really store clothes for 2 people so no idea where they expect the other 3 people to put their clothes!
It can get very noisy, especially in the evening. Don’t expect to get any sleep before 10:30 as there is always entertainment going on at the pool area, which for a family oriented place is great, but if you have young children don’t expect them to get much sleep.
