Hilton Vilamoura As Cascatas Golf Resort & Spa

We stayed for 10 nights in the Hilton and enjoyed a well run and immaculate hotel. Great bedrooms, wide balcony and lovely bathrooms. All very new and well kept.
Breakfast was excellent, a really lovely choice, lunch and dinner were expensive in the hotel and the food quality not fantastic, but ok.
Staff we encountered were very professional and smiling - we met a lovely family who had 3 children around our daughter's age and that made the holiday for us. Pools were good, could have been bigger and better designed, but we did go in August, so lots of fellow Brits and children but all nice. Not sure I would have enjoyed it as much had we been childless.
Kids' club facilites were great, but I was rather dubious about the quality of child-care; it was more suited to 7/8year old boys rather than 5 year old girls.
Shuttle bus to beach and marina bit hectic, bit of a wait in the early evening but we were relaxed - if you like to stroll out of your hotel to a restaurant, then this is NOT the hotel for you, too far out of the town centre.
Overall, a lovely hotel that I (as a fussy mother) would definitely recommend.
