Vale de Carros Hotel

Just arrived back from Portugal, Stayed at the Valle de Carros.
Rooms were clean maids visited every day except Thrsdays and Sundays. There are two Pools neither of which are attended, however this is identified in the literature and by the Pool, so not really a problem. The Pool is close to the bar so easy enough to summon someone should there be a problem.I had already read the reviews regarding noise before I went and to be honest didn't find it any more of a problem than other apartments Ive stayed in. Just luck whether you get noisy neighbours or not. und the staff very helpful. The beach is beautiful but there are just a couple of bars and it is a good walk away, however there is a hotel shuttle twice a day which will take you and pick you up from the beach. Also Olhos do Agua a slightly larger resort has a god bus service to various locations including Albufeira.There is a regular bus service to here and to Albufeira. I went for a quiet relaxing holiday and thats exactly what I got. More suited to couples and families as opposed to those looking for night life!! And Ive had far more noise for far more money so all in all very good value and a beautiful place!!

Went for the week beginning 15th Sept 2010 with my husband.Paid £200.00 for the accommodation as we were on a budget and were a little concerned after reading some of the less positive reviews.Arrived early afternoon and were promptly given the keys and directions to our one bedroom apt.Pleasantly surprised by the very large and clean accommodation with a lovely patio area over looking the quieter pool(no childrens section).
We visited Acoteias last year and stayed in the La Falesia Hotel,very expensive.When I return I will definitely return to Vale de Carros instead.The grounds were well kept,the bar was well priced for food and drinks and there was entertainment most evenings ranging from bingo to a magician.The resort itself is quiet quiet,but there are adequate restaurants locally and more in the vicinity of the beach area around 15 minutes away.We ate out a different place each evening and enjoyed lovely meals and wine.
The beach itself is beautiful and we enjoyed long walks
there everyday stopping off for a drink on the way back.
One word of advice,invest in some insect repellant as many people were bothered by mosquito bites in the evenings.All in all the Vale de Carros apts provide clean and spacious accommodation for a relaxing break in a beautiful area.Go and enjoy.
