Vale da Lapa Resort & SPA

for a brand new resort vale da lapa is great a few teething problems but nothing major, would reccommend this place for familys couples young and old, lovely resort not to big like some of the golfing resorts but if you want to play golf courses are really close definatly will return here also ths spa is great with lovely treatments

PROS: Nice surroundings, good pool however with no shadow, good spa and excellent, excellent apartments, well decorated and very spacious, nice touch with the children robes. Very courteous staff. CONS: Room equipment: no place for the soap; two very tiny pans to cook (difficult with 3 children); no serving plates; no hair dryer. Cleaning: No cleaning. To be fair, they washed the dishes, which was surprising, and took out the garbage PERIOD I had to call reception two days, since for three days in a row we were given 4 towels... more

We thought the hotel and its facilities were second to none. All villas brand new with luxurious finishes throughout. Staff were extremely curteous and nothing was too much trouble. Location is about EUR5 taxi ride from Carvoeiro where there are numerous child friendly restaurants. Pool was fantastic with a small kids pool beside the main pool but if you like the beach there are lovely beaches nearby but again just a small EUR5 taxi ride

This newly opened resort consists of two storey, two bed roomed townhouses and three bed villas near the town of Carvoeiro. We stayed in one of the villas for ten days with our three young children and had an absolutely wonderful time. The villas are beautifully decorated and well equipped and have everything you could need for a relaxing holiday including your own private pool. We also used the main pool in the resort and there's a children's pool ideally located just next to the adults. We enjoyed the Mediterranean style buffet breakfast... more

Agree with review above, we are staying with our 2 year old in a 2 bedroom villa and have to say the villas are very well kitted out and everything brand new. Fittings are all very luxurious. The plus side of being in a resort is that there is someone come and clean your villa everyday and you also have the amenities of restaurant and spa which you wouldnt in a private villa. My son loved the kids pool although the main pool was still a bit too cold for him. Also no indoor pool. The grounds are extensive but being new everything is... more

This is a very new hotel,. just opened a few weeks, whilst there is some decorating work going on in some of the unrented houses at the end of the complex, this is not a problem, this is certainly a place to recommend if you want a relaxing holiday, The houses are just beautiful, very well fitted and furbished. The complex is located at the end of a small villlage, 2km from the resort of Carveoira and about 2km from a beautiful small beech. The rates currently on offer are excellent value for money. We stayed here 7 nights, the staff are... more
