The resort has its highlights, like clean villas and a well-equipped kitchen, which made it easy for us to enjoy home-cooked meals. However, we faced challenges with the check-in and checkout times, which felt quite inconvenient given the resort's size. While we enjoyed some delicious seafood dining options, noise from nearby traffic and noisy neighbors detracted from the relaxation we were seeking on our holiday.

My experience at Vale do Lobo was a mixed bag. While I enjoyed the spacious and well-equipped townhouse, I found the overall service to be hit-or-miss, especially with the late check-in policy and some staff interactions. The proximity to the beach and quality of local dining really stood out, but there were aspects of the resort that felt neglected, particularly in the less central areas.

The resort offers a charming ambience with nice villas, but there are several issues that bring down the experience, such as cleanliness and maintenance. Additionally, the pricing feels steep for what is offered, especially with the extra costs for beach amenities. If you're seeking convenience, you'll need transportation due to the resort's size and distance from main attractions.
