I honestly have no idea how this property can be rated as a 4-star aparthotel. What we found was absolutely disgusting and nowhere near the standard anyone should expect from a 4-star property. The apartment was in a shocking state of repair and cleanliness. The bathroom in particular was appalling: the bathtub was filthy and heavily stained, the walls and joints were visibly dirty and deteriorated, and parts of the ceiling were literally coming apart. There were obvious signs of water damage and leaks, including around the air-conditioning unit. The overall condition looked neglected rather than maintained. The walls throughout the apartment showed cracks, peeling and damaged finishes. The sealant and edges around the bathroom and floor were dirty, deteriorated and clearly overdue for proper maintenance. The photographs speak for themselves. And then there was the smell. The room had a persistent sewage/drain smell which made the stay extremely unpleasant. This is simply not acceptable accommodation, regardless of the number of stars. For an aparthotel, the facilities were also extremely disappointing. There was no dishwasher, no washing machine and no oven, which makes the apartment far less practical than you would reasonably expect from this type of accommodation. What makes this even more frustrating is that this is not just a case of an old building or slightly dated decoration. There is a huge difference between “dated” and dirty, damaged and poorly maintained. This place has clearly crossed that line. The air-conditioning appears to have had water leakage, the bathroom ceiling is damaged, the bathtub is in a disgraceful condition, the walls are deteriorating and there is a sewage smell in the room. These are basic maintenance and hygiene issues, not minor cosmetic imperfections. Calling this a 4-star property is, quite frankly, misleading. A 4-star rating creates a certain expectation of cleanliness, maintenance and quality — and this apartment fell dramatically short of all three. My advice to anyone considering staying here: look at the photos carefully and think twice before booking. What you see online does not prepare you for the condition of the apartment we were given. This was one of the most disappointing accommodation experiences I have ever had. Absolutely not 4-star standard.
Reception area is lovely and smells great. On first inspection apartment seemed ok but when you actually look properly its in desparate need of a complete reburb..beds really uncomfortable and bathroom so so bad. Balcony is great size but again floor had broken tiles and the little garden area was a disgrace. I think this hotel is fine for a 3 night stay but definitely not your family holiday. We will not be back. Villamoura is over rated and over priced.
Start with a positive...The location is a stones throw to the marina and if you get a high room you have fab views. Negative...location is where the lady workers do their jobs. We had a 1st floor apartment and the noise of cars pulling up all night and the sound of high heel walking back and forth was such a nuisance. The lobby is lovely and cosy but the landing our room was on was grubby, and I only seen one cleaner. The room itself although spacious is in need of a refurb. The bathroom looked old. The bath has been painted a few times and the shower curtain looked like its there years,the ceiling had dirty finger prints. There was works going on at the pool with a kango hammer. One pool was closed. The bar never opened.
Not a 4 star hotel. Whoever listed this hotel as 4 star needs to be investigated. Awful pool area where the grass is just thistles and can’t walk on without shoes. There was a dead bird floating around on our first day here. Hallways are dark and dreary. Breakfast is awful - nothing else to say about that. Rooms are basis but nowhere near 4 star. Nice location. Very noisy at night as this seems to be a stag/hen party hotel. Often kept awake until 3am with doors slamming etc. A 2 star hotel at best.
The worst hotel that I have ever stayed in. Poor choice of food it was monotonous and boring. Unbelievably did not have a bar, first hotel that I have heard of! The pool was more like a cryotherapy chamber absolutely freezing. The beds were the worst and most uncomfortable that I have ever slept in. The new owners need to spend money and upgrade this establishment not worth a four star rating Just a two star unfortunately.
