This is NOT a review of the hotel, just the golf course attached to it. Vila Sol is a relatively recent addition to the Vilamoura golf scene, compared to favourites such as The Old Course, Vale de Lobo and San Lorenzo at least but despite it's relatively young age, it's probably past it's prime and the experience is one that...

We stayed a week for golf on several courses of the Pestana Group. Arrival was cumbersome, as we were placed in a room type we didn't book. As the hotel was "fully booked" there was no alternative but to accept the "garden room", away from the main building, somber, dark and no view at all. We were promised that the... More

Spent a week here in Mid October. Stayed in one of the small villa/chalet on the grounds. Very quiet and peaceful indeed. Overlooking a beautiful garden with pounds and water-features. I’m not sure all these villas/chattels have similar views so its worth making an enquiry when booking. The chalet was close to a little indoor pool/Jacuzzi whit huge window overlooking... More

This Hotel has recently been taken over by the Pestana Group and has improved no end since the take-over however beause of the location (approx. 10 minutes drive from Vilamoura and Vale Do Lobo), the Hotel needs to have better service and cheaper prices to entice more people to use this lovely facility. 15 Euros for a glass of champagne...

We returned here this February for the 2nd year running. The staff in the hotel are very helpful and friendly and the rooms and service are a good standard. They have started to offer a daily special in the Club House each day which includes a drink and seemed good value.The hotel has lockers for your golf clubs and we... More

My wife and I have been regular visitors to the Vila Sol for a number of years. We have just returned from a week long stay and are now considering whether it is time to find another venue. The hotel location is excellent but many of the common areas are now in need of refurbishment. Especially the restaurant where the... More

In February I organised 2 seperate trips to Pestana Vila Sol, taking 8 people on the first trip and 16 on the second to coach them golf and take them round the golf courses, I had doner the same in October last year. The hotel was superb, the staff were really helpful and friendly and the garden rooms were perfectly... More

Mistakenly the booking agency has promised a brandnew SPA, but the SPOA was clsoed down one year ago. A small indoor swimming pool, but this was not nice at all. Summer facilities might be nice, but in February everything was in maintenance status, did not look very nice. Breakfast excellent, personnel very nice and helpful. AC / heating in the... More

What can i say...Fantastic. 5 twin rooms shared between 10 lads on a fun filled trip over four days, included 2 rounds of golf on an excellent course (albeit tight in places, and super quick greens) with a superb buffet breakfast (to soak up those bleary nights). Staff were only too pleased to help, and the facilities are second to... More
