Poor internet service

I loved the property it was dated but lovingly cared for. The grounds were beautiful. My only problem was the fact that the internet and TV service went down on Saturday morning and nothing was done to restore service (despite our complaints) until Monday morning

The staff were great and the area was well kept. The apartment was clean and very well stocked with everything you could need for self catering, in fact it was amazing. Very spacious accommodation indeed. The only thing was the walls were paper thin. You could hear the people next door talking and the music from below. Maybe we just had loud neighbours but it did spoil our stay somewhat.

Beautiful complex, well kept grounds, villa dated in some areas such as the kitchen. Needed to call out maintenance several times as electrics tripped, pool step broken, pool lights broken. Staff in the restaurant were lovely, very helpful, polite and accommodating.

This was our second time to the villas and the space is wonderful, the pool area is great but everything needs an update, the kitchen appliances are old and tired. The area around the private pool now has lots of great foliage but this brings bugs and everyday there where around 100 woodlouse in the pool, that just walk off the edge. It didn’t ruin the experience but they need a pool suction equipment to make this better.
As I say it was our second time but I’m not sure we will be back.

We liked area around- pools area, playground for kids, however in April water seems to be still very cold for swiming, so maybe to think on heated pool (at least for kids) installation.

Minuses-if you want to use kitchen or washing machine you need to buy all detergents or oil for cooking, salt, pepper yourself, which is not very convinient and reasonable in case of foreign travellers staying for just couple of nights.

Overall was a nice stay at Colina Da Lapa Villas. There was a few issues with the booking process that could have been handled better, we was travelling with an 11 month old and therefore needed a highchair and cot but was being passed back and forth between booking agent and the villa itself to confirm availability on this, was a bit stressful trying to sort this, and only got final confirmation a few days before our travel date. Villa was a good size, are quite dated now on the inside and the pool had quite a lot of chemicals in meaning our eyes really struggled after trying to have a swim in them and that limited how much we actually used the pool. Complex itself stated had a supermarket on it but thats now closed down and nearest one was a 10 minute walk along a busy road, not ideal start when just trying to get basics. Villa also doesn't have any kitchen basics in, salt, pepper, cooking oils etc so we had to get all this and leave behind what we didn't use. Overall was a nice week away but a few things to note on the villas. Try to avoid a villa next to the busy road as well as youll be listening to traffic all day whilst trying to relax.

Our vvery special Colina Da Lupa break

Stayed at this resort four times in the past and it has been excellent, accommodation very comfortable however sadly although the waiters/bar staff were very good, the food was very poor on half board basis this time, and disappointing.
For the first two days the breakfast cook didn’t turn up to the embarrassment of the waiter, items like fish fingers and chicken nuggets should remain as children’s menu. I must say the food in the past has been really excellent which has been the repeat booking to the Colina da Lupa. Will we go back again, doubtful with this cooking staff. Understand new regime in progress for kitchen, hope so, otherwise the Colina Da Lupa will go downhill rapidly!!! Good luck...............

A lovely place to stay

We have stayed at Colina Da Lapa many many times and have found the staff very helpful and friendly. One thing we were disappointed with was they’ve had a revamp of their bar, kitchen and restaurant which isn’t as good as before. The layout is better but the choice of bar drinks is not as good with the only draught beer running out for several days. The menu has little choice which is even worse if you don’t like garlic or fish so it’s steak, steak or steak compared to the old one which was fabulous with more than enough variety. Some villas has been updated inside and out including having your own pool and BBQ area. If you stay in the apartments they are more than ample but you have to hope you don’t have noisy or inconsiderate neighbours above or below because that can spoil your holiday. On the very numerous times we have stayed there the majority of it has fabulous but now the restaurant and bar menu is limited we are not very likely to put up with the inconsiderate neighbours and doubt if we will stay again which is a shame because the staff are great.

Lovely area and friendly staff

Great area, not too close to the noisy busy areas but not so quite that you’re in the sticks. Restaurants and supermarkets nearby.
Room was great, huge 1 bed self catering apartment with far more room than was really needed. Well equipped kitchen, bit of a tired bathroom which could have done with a revamp but absolutely functional.
Nice little pool, crap sunbeds!
We didn’t try the on site restaurant but all the staff were extremely friendly and helpful and couldn’t fault them one bit!!

The staff we met were very friendly and accommodating. Nuno was at the front desk both when we checked in and checked out. He spoke excellent English and was extremely helpful, explaining everything very well. Even came to our room via golf cart and running up the stairs when we couldn’t figure out how to open the door. Then he went well over and beyond and translated my parking ticket from the day before and printed out google map address and coordinates of the city hall in Lisbon. Staff at breakfast were also helpful.

Room itself was spacious as it was a full apartment. It’s a bit old but was overall clean and well maintained. The main problem was that one of the beds had black particles between the sheets and seemed really dirty, so my daughter had to sleep over the sheets and was naturally uncomfortable sleeping there.

Stayed in a 2 bedroom villa. This is our second visit. Only reservations was that stayed in this complex about 10 years ago and it does need updating as it is getting dated. We only stayed 6 days but the cleaning service was excellent we had clean towels everyday and the villa was cleaned everyday. The entertainment could improve as the lady running it set up the water polo to only then disappear for a couple of hours before coming back to collect the equipment. Check-in was very efficient, reception team had very good English and were very helpful. However the Manager of the Hotel was quite evasive and did not deal with our complaint. We wanted a full English Breakfast as this was advertised till 10:30am but we turned up at 10:10am to be told that no chef and we could only have continental breakfast and it was too late for breakfast. The lady was very rude and we went to see the manager to explain that we would not be eating at the Restaurant because of this and they had lost our custom for the rest of the holidays. Pool area very good never had to reserve sunbeds or rush to get one on a morning. What would benefit this complex is an indoor pool or a second outdoor swimming pool.

Very spacious n beautiful surroundings

It is a semi detached villa w 2 rooms upstairs n very spacious living room n kitchen downstairs. TV is very small not flat screen. Everyday there are ladies who come to clean the house. However, wifi is weak. It is okay if u are on holiday m spent time w friends n family. You need car to move around. Nearest town is Carvoeiro n very lively at night. It is 5 mins drive there.

Fantastic Resort!

This was a beautiful hotel, in a gorgeous area of the Algarve. The villa style set up made the hotel feel like a little village! Our apartment was spotlessly clean & well equipped for our week long stay. The pool area was perfect, plenty of sunbeds & shade if you wanted it, & the bar & restaurant were open throughout the afternoon so you could have lunch without having to leave the pool. The restaurant was extremely reasonable in terms of cost & the food was delicious! All the staff were very friendly & always willing to help...they even opened the mini market shop for us before opening hours when we had just arrived so that we could buy water! The receptionist was also extremely helpful during our stay...he was more like a tour guide! We frequently used the shuttle bus to the closest beach, Caneiros, & the town of Cavoeiro, which meant we cut down on our traveling costs! Perfect resort for small children, the pool area is safe and they also organise games like water polo. You would probably need a car if you had children & wanted to do lots of sightseeing to the neighbouring towns/villages, & also to get to & from the airport, although our party of three adults managed just fine using the free shuttle buses & taxis which were quite cheap. My only criticism of the whole resort is the very bad female singer, who currently sings each Wednesday....awful!! All in all, a great resort & a great holiday! destination! The photographs here don't do it justice!!
