hotéis em Vilamoura

Contras: Not enough direction’s to get to rooms and to reception,, I got completely lost.

Prós: Breakfast was like being in a 3 star hotel.

Contras: The bar was not 5 star ambiance.

Prós: The location: 5mins walk to beach, 5mins walk to bars and restaurants in the marina. The hotel staff: very friendly and efficient service.

Prós: Beautiful, clean, spacious

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Muito bem localizado permitindo ir a pé à marina de Vilamoura e praia. Excelentes infraestruturas, muito bem cuidadas. Várias piscinas e espaços de lazer adequados para hotel desta dimensão. Excente nível de serviço.

Contras: Embora os quartos sejam excelentes, a insonorização não é a melhor, deixando passar barulho dos quartos adjacentes (torneiras p.ex.) e a partir do corredor (desde as 6/7 da manhã que se ouvem os carrinhos da limpeza e os outros hóspedes a sair dos quartos)

Prós: A vista e a cama

Contras: O chuveiro molha o banheiro todo e o ar condicionado não funciona direito

Prós: Loved our stay at this hotel! So relaxing, great location and lovely pools. The rooms are very spacious and the beds are very comfy. Very reasonable priced and this hotel is in the best location, not in the middle of the marina but on the edge so you don’t get any of the loud noises from the multiple Irish bars ha. I would 100% visit this hotel again!!

Contras: Nothing to complain about

Prós: excellent staff fantastic location extremely well maintained facilities very good breakfast selection comfortable bed and good size room First class hotel and we loved staying here!

Contras: can't think of anything I didn't like

Prós: A really good location for the Marina area and restaurants, the hotel itself is excellent and the facilities are exactly what you need to relax and unwind.

Prós: Nice hotel, very nice pool and grounds area and nice that it was within a short walk to the marina with lots of shops and restaurants.

Contras: We were put in a ground floor room right beside the spa that smelled musty so wasn't great.

Prós: Location was good for a short stay. Spa massage was good.

Contras: Breakfast could have been better. The bacon and sausage let it down and it felt more like three star than five.

Prós: We had been to the Lake Resort a few years before and we were pleased to find it was at the same high standard. We travelled this time with our 4 month old daughter and it was ideal for a young baby. We simply just stayed on the resort and enjoyed the pool cabanas and loungers and strolled around the grounds. Villamoura is so close that in the evening you can walk for 5 minutes and be at the marina for dinner. Perfect for our needs.

Contras: There was only 1 onsite restaurant open on Monday evening but we did not know. It was completely booked out despite tables being free in the restaurant. It took some time to persuade the restaurant to take us, even though the it did not fill up all evening.

Prós: Swimming pools and always beds available Great space, quiet and can get an Uber within 5 mins guaranteed. Lots for the kids to do

Contras: Locking random. access to Hilton bars and restaurants after 7pm.

Prós: the suite had everything we needed and more. The room was cleaned every day. Excellent service with exceptionally helpful staff. Had the advantage of the Hilton facilities and free shuttle bus into the marine.

Contras: n/a

Prós: very nice apartment

Contras: overcrowded pool

Prós: We were allowed a late check out on our last day which made it a much more relaxing day. The hotel/apartment facilities were excellent and the staff friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend a stay here

Contras: Noting major but the sofa in our room was a little “tired” and took away from the rest of the area

Prós: Everything was great . Staff were so helpful

Contras: Price range could be a bit lower

Prós: Location is good Quietness is good Offering is good

Contras: Mattresses were very hard Switched to pull out bed in sofa but really only marginally better

Contras: dirty diapers from previous guests were found hidden in drawers in our accommodation yuck :-(

Prós: Estava tudo óptimo

Contras: Não tenho nada a apontar

Prós: Plenty of room in the two bed apartment. Pool areas were lovely with plenty of beds. The marina is a short taxi or shuttle bus ride away and can be walked to in 25 minutes. I had a small issue while there but Dina the hotel manager was very helpful.

Contras: The apartment side of this development is privately owned and needs to be modernised. €50 deposit required in case you lose the keys. No key cards used. Also no facility to swipe and reserve on your credit card so you can charge items to your room. You’re expected to write out your card details and leave them at reception. I didn’t and had some issues. Silly really in 2019

Prós: Location is great - easy to walk or drive to local restaurants etc Accommodation also excellent very much a home from home

Contras: The only gripe for me is that the mats on the beds around the pool have seen better days -many stained, dirty and a number with cuts which should not happenj

Prós: Oferta de serviços excepcional!

Prós: Do complexo em si

Contras: Das camas, travesseiros( muito moles e desconfortáveis)

Prós: Beautiful property, very comfortable and welcoming. Nice rooms and facilities. Very beautiful beach

Prós: Everything

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Very helpful staff, good breakfast

Prós: Nothing

Contras: Everywhere smelt of sewer it was disgusting. Difficult to sleep with the smell and wondering if it was a health risk.

Prós: Location

Contras: Cold welcome & unhygienic

Prós: Simpatia do staff; Conforto; Piscina interior e exterior; Acesso fácil à praia;

Contras: Colchão da cama extra não tinha a mesma qualidade que os outros.

Prós: We have had many visits to Tivoli Marina and location is excellent hotel facilities are excellent.

Contras: Sadly on this visit we made a mistake with the room and didn’t realise the family room wasn’t adequate for 4 as stated, it was the only room left as they were fully booked but sadly we had to book our sons into the hotel down the road. Also bathroom could have been cleaner and blockage in sink cleared which left the bathroom smelly on occasions. General cleaning of the room was not up to usual standard either.

Prós: Do pequeno almoço,e da vista panorâmica do quarto.

Contras: Do tamanho do quarto.muito pequeno.

Prós: Breakfast was good Staff were helpful

Contras: The building is dated and a bit shabby; it’s about theee and a half stars. The locale is v ‘touristy’. Every bar and almost every restaurant has televisions showing sport and groups of lads drinking lager. The hotel attracts chavvy behaviour

Contras: We booked five rooms for three nights .....three months ago.... On arrival the hotel had over booked and told us they had no rooms!!!! not a pleasant experience ......

Prós: Staff attitude and general service was very poor

Contras: Service

Prós: De tudo. Pequeno almoço ótimo, piscina fantástica ! Mesmo em cima da praia como eu gosto.

Contras: Há muito tempo a planear conhecer e finalmente ! Realmente 5 estrelas, desde os funcionários, até às instalações. Serviço irrepreensível e então as vistas do quarto para a marina... Fabuloso !!

Prós: Excellent location & accommodations. All staff was very pleasant and helpful. Buffet breakfast was very nice. Pool area was beautiful & relaxing. Great vacation here in Portugal.

Prós: Gostei de tudo!

Prós: Localização privilegiada, em frente à praia que é linda ! Áreas comuns enormes, muito confortáveis. Café da manhã excelente . O hotel está a 5 minutos caminhando até a Marina de Vilamoura com inúmeras opções de restaurantes e bares .

Prós: Tudo

Prós: Lovely hotel. Massive comfy bed. Room soundproof which helps as there are lots of large groups staying. Good breakfast. Hotel pricey but worth the extra.

Contras: N/a

Prós: The location was great as was the room. Lovely staff. Lovely breakfast.

Contras: Small things needed improving. Staff around the pool could have taken drinks/food orders. The biggest gripe though was that the towel collection area, where you collected towels for the pool, moved to reception. The issue with this was that you were queuing with people booking in/out, and returning wet towels over the reception. Not ideal.

Prós: It’s location , reception staff were excellent.

Contras: After having stayed there on at least 4 separate occasions I have noticed that the overall fabric appears tired. The bar prices were very overpriced.

Prós: Excellent hotel right on the beech. Car staff in particular were superb and couldn’t do more for you.

Contras: Very quiet at night. Too quiet. For early Sept one would have hoped for a little more entertainment.

Prós: Food was very good - if you were allowed to enjoy it Staff at pool bar were excellent

Contras: Too much cleaning products, with chemicals, over powering smell causing you to cough. Staff over attentive removing plates glasses too soon, it felt like you had to rush your food or leave it. Didn't Have the personal touches that suites usually have. Room not cleaned until late afternoon. I loved my first stay at Crowne Plaza last year, unfortunately it fell way below standard this time.

Prós: The breakfast was superb, the highest quality and food beautifully presented.

Contras: We both felt there should be some toilets nearer to the Pool Area.

Prós: Great pool, great beer, grt snacks. Staff friendly

Prós: Good location staff care more offering waters complimentary fruits Breakfast is delicious

Contras: Kids pool need to be heated. And need indoor kids area

Prós: Attentive and polite Staff. Good breakfast with loads of choice. Lovely pool area with poolside bar, clean rooms and bathrooms.

Contras: Location. Very large hotel so lots of walking from room to pool, dining rooms and reception.

Prós: Amazing breakfast, very helpful and friendly staff, great location, great amenities, fantastic room, great view.

Contras: Bed had a bit of a depression. The prices at the restaurant were quite expensive for the quality offered.

Prós: Very large rooms, nice bathroom, friendly staff!

Prós: Large bedrooms, spacious grounds and ample sun beds. The food was fantastic and the staff couldn’t do enough for you. There was a free shuttle service into Vilamoura whenever you were ready to go and also offered a free Tuk tuk ride around the town which was also nice

Contras: The drinks were exceptionally expensive however the staff were happy to provide you with glasses and ice if you took your own soft drinks to the pool.

Prós: Pequeno almoço diversificado e atenção dos funcionários de mesa. A funcionária da recepção Mariana, aquando do check-in (a simpatia e atenção minimizou a espera de 1h)

Contras: Check-in: 1h para fazer o check-in em virtude de ter chegado um grupo de mais de 100 pessoas na mesma altura. Não se admite não haver um funcionário para realizar o check-in de guests que não pertençam a grupos. Quarto: Copos de vinho usados no dia anterior, foram simplesmente virados e colocados no lugar como se estivessem lavados e prontos a serem novamente usados. Lençóis não foram trocados, quando foi expressamente solicitado, pela via existente no quarto para o efeito. Caixote de lixo do quarto de banho não foi esvaziado durante a estadia, ou seja, o lixo higiênico permaneceu no quarto a estadia completa. Comodidades: Num dia em que choveu de manha, foram retirados os colchões das espreguiçadeiras da piscina, o que é normal, mas à tarde já com sol, havia mais de 20 hóspedes deitados em espreguiçadeiras de verga uma vez que não havia funcionários para recolocarem os devidos colchões. Piscina com falhas enormes nos azulejos de revestimento do fundo, existindo o perigo de cortes nos membros inferiores. Ainda sobre a piscina, a mesma carece de uma limpeza mais cuidada, nomeadamente no revestimento superior, porque é evidende o sujidade acomulada. Check-out: Late check-out recusado, mesmo para membros NH alegando falta de disponibilidade, quando o hotel está com 20% de ocupação se tanto. Overall: Longe de cumprir o padrão de um ANANTARA no que toca ao guest service.

Prós: Confortável e calmo

Contras: Gastroentrite para os dois hóspedes em que um deles foi para festejar o aniversario. Os ovos do pequeno almoco estavam mal passados e certamente tambem mal confeccionados. Gatroentrite viral com vomitos, somos do Porto e tive de parar no Hospital S. Jose com urgencia para ser vista. O anantara pagou somente os medicamentos do meu namorado. Apos novo contacto em que falei sobre o meu caso nao se ofereceram para nada, apenas sugeriram para voltarmos que faziam um desconto ou nos faziam um upgrade de quarto!! O justo seria pagar a minha medicacao e devolver pelo menos as ultimas duas noites em que estivemos tao doentes.

Prós: Qualidade do pequeno almoço acima da média. Muito bem.

Contras: Limpeza do WC não estava aceitável. Nível de formação dos funcionários muitíssimo baixo.

Prós: Beautiful views out to the golf course. Wonderful massage treatment in the spa. Valet parking.

Prós: A very good modern resort golf hotel, friendly professional staff and truly excellent breakfast buffet

Prós: O resort é bastante tranquilo, com uma área de piscina muito boa, e sempre um excelente serviço. O café da manhã é excelente, com diversas opcões. Nao fica na frente da praia, porem oferece cadeiras de praia sem custo no Puro Beach Club (vale dizer, aos que nao sabem, que a praia em Vilamoura não tem nada excepcional ou estilo algarve, mas o beach club tem boa infraestrutura e musica). Quartos confortaveis.

Contras: Fiquei em outros hoteis na beira da praia e achei que sao melhor opçao. Exceto para quem procura o Anantara pelos seus campos de golf, por exemplo. Pelo fato de ser um hotel maior, dependendo do quarto voce acaba tendo que andar um bocado até chegar no quarto. Para usar a piscina aquecida do spa tem um custo adicional de 20 euros/pessoa por dia. O transfer funciona porem ficamos esperando um bom tempo no momento de voltar do beach club.

Prós: Breakfast amazing, luxuriously comfy sun beds. Lovely views. Quiet

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Nothing special to like

Contras: location - approach hotel through a development which was half finished and an abandoned building site Hotel hosted a sales conference when we were there and one as we left and they wanted us gone Food and drink in the hotel expensive and food average

Prós: Paz e sossego. Espaço dos apartamentos. Localização a 10 minutos da marina de Vilamoura.

Contras: A sugestão de pequeno almoço , ser muito cara e em outro hotel.

Prós: Loved the apartment we had, spacious and modern. Great outdoor and indoor pools although some bits needed a bit of tlc in places.

Contras: Some of the staff around the complex were not very welcoming, even a smile or a hello felt like too much trouble for them. Limited choice at the Resturant which didn’t open till 10am for breakfast. Had a bad ant problem in our kitchen and lounge which didn’t bother me too much but had a young baby who was wanting to crawl around which he couldn’t do. Ordering taxis from reception was a problem as they kept ordering a executive minibus when all we wanted was a normal taxi, obviously had a link up with this firm which was expensive. Location was ok if all you wanted was to stay in complex but didn’t think there was enough on site to do this. Hotel opposite which could be used was very expensive.

Prós: Qualidade dos apartamentos. Ótimas piscinas!! Serviço simpático

Prós: Very clean and great facilities friendly staff

Contras: Be nice to have a supermarket close

Prós: Great self catering option with 5 star facilities.

Prós: Apartments quality and large areas! Great Facilities! Breakfast quality superb! Great place for kids to enjoy the pools area!

Contras: Breakfast to be taken on the Anantara hotel which needs you to leave the Residences hotel through the street (3min walk not much but an internal connection between the hotels would be great)! Anyhow this is a minor issue! Was a bit noisy at night but it wasn't hotel's fault, but a large group of guest on a wedding in the Anantara next door hotel…

Prós: Spacious apartment, nice pool area, lovely food served daily from the snack bar ... staff very friendly !!

Contras: About 10 minutes outside the resort in a taxi

Prós: There was nothing to dislike about this accommodation.

Contras: Beautiful and well equipped apartments.

Prós: Gorgeous apartments with lots of space and excellent facilities. Our room overlooked the neighboring golf course, lovely views. We had access to the nearby Anantara hotel facilities, they were stunning. Free shuttle bus into Vilamoura which was handy. Overall a fantastic stay, we will return

Contras: Nothing we didn't like, just a few notes for fellow tourists - Our flight was delayed and we arrived late, reception was difficult to locate in the dark following Google maps. It's just off the roundabout FYI. There were no cleaning products in our apartment - dishwasher tablets or washing up liquid.

Prós: Two room apartment was really nice. Not cheap, but you can tell it is good quality. Nearby pool and parking just under the apartments.

Contras: Washing drying line is really small

Prós: Apartments spacious and clean also good location sister hotel facilities outstanding

Prós: Ótimo pequeno almoço, opções deliciosas e saudáveis.Instalações confortáveis.

Contras: nada de importante. tudo agradavel.

Prós: Location, hotel facilities and the breakfast.

Contras: Had an ant problem in the bathroom but this was sorted quickly by the staff.

Prós: The hotel was lovely - welcoming upon arrival with a bright, airy reception area. The staff are, without exception, very friendly - nothing is too much trouble. There is a huge variety of food available for breakfast (and a lovely mix of juices) although we chose to have a cooked breakfast from the buffet each morning and were able to sit outside if we wanted to. There are three pools - the largest of which has a bar alongside which plays music. What is nice is that you don't have to be too far away from the music in order for it to not be heard i.e. it isn't thumping around the entire complex. We chose to sit around the "romantic" pool. which was nice and quiet with a lovely welcoming pool and comfortable beds. The grounds to the hotel are immaculate and are lovely to walk around even when the sun has gone down. Our room overlooked the pool. It had a really comfortable King size bed and a very decently sized bathroom with a bath and a shower. The people who attend the rooms do a cracking job. We spent a little time in the bar which has an extensive drinks menu and from which you can also order food which was lovely. Location-wise, the hotel is in a very quiet area. There is little if any traffic and the walk down to the marina takes about 30 minutes. It is a pleasant walk however, particularly if you use the park-like strip down the middle of the main road leading to the marina. Can recommend a stay at the Hilton Vilamoura.

Contras: The only thing I didn't like - and I'm really clutching at straws here - was the fact the hairdryer in the room could have done with a clean. You know the way the rubber surround can get sticky with use? Well mine could have done with a scrub. That said, my own one at home is much the same so there was no reason for complaint!

Prós: Adorámos a gentileza que tiveram ao nos presentearem com um apartamento lindo, grande e confortável ! Todos os funcionários foram simpáticos. É ótimo o serviço de transporte para a praia e Marina, bem como as espreguiçadeiras e bar na na praia. Às refeições no bar da piscina e o atendimento foram muito agradáveis.

Contras: Achámos que havia mais espreguiçadeiras na piscina, estando coladas umas às outras, o que não é muito confortável. No local das toalhas, forma-se uma “parede” com 4 e 5 móveis de as colocar , o que é desagradável para os turistas que se encontram por trás dessa zona. Apesar de termos gostado, desejaríamos mais variedade no menu do bar da piscina( Ex: bife do lombo em bolo do caco, vários tipos de omeletes,etc) O que mais nos custou foi o facto de , na terra da laranja, o sumo não ser natural!!!

Prós: The location & rooms

Contras: How we were treated my reception staff at check-in & throughout our stay.

Prós: Good selection, good quality, friendly service

Contras: N/A

Prós: Generally quite an up market hotel with a nice pool area

Contras: The room was noisy, it overlooked the toad and was above the kitchen , some of the staff were less than helpful and thus us a fairly expensive hotel. I would definitely expect a lot more

Prós: The hotel was excellent it was of a high standard and in s great location.

Prós: Loved breakfast, good choices and everything fresh.

Contras: We ate at Cilantro, food was very good but ambience is a bit jaded, would be a huge plus if Hilton would invest in a new look for the restaurant.

Prós: The room was clean and staff was friendly

Contras: They took 47 € for god 2 kg , spa is not included in the room rate, so they took 40 Euro pour spa and 10 euro for 2 caps plastic for the pool

Contras: Used the spa and was told we not allowed to use lockers for our stuff as there for visitors only. Also cost us €50 jus to use the spa facilities, example steam room jacuzzis, didn’t include any treatments. Which I found bizarre paying to use the leisure after paying 1200 to stay there. So everytime we wanted to use steam room, or jacuzzi etc we had to pay €50 Spa was not what was advertised at all. Very disappointing. Also was over charged €600 and had to call to rectify this.

Prós: Friendly staff and very comfortable bed

Prós: Location was reasonable, need a car or taxi to centre

Contras: Pool area not got sun all day in some areas Breakfast was good but not spectacular like some others we have stayed at in Vilamoura

Prós: Quarto confortável, muito espaçoso, boa limpeza, tranquilo e bem decorado. Hotel bem localizado com boas instalações.

Prós: Nice size boutique hotel, very clean,?large room and comfy beds. Not far from Marina about 15 min walk, nice walks round about.

Contras: Background music around pool required. Snack menu quite expensive for a sandwich.

Contras: Quartos de 3 estrelas e não 4 estrelas

Prós: The staff were very helpful, friendly and made our stay very enjoyable. They arranged bike hires for us.. the courtesy bus to the beach and Marina is free and runs every hour. The hotel was spotless. We had a late flight and got to keep our room until 5pm free of charge.. definitely recommend and will be back.

Prós: Staff. Room was very large (big enough for a family) cleaned every day to the highest quality.

Contras: The pool area was not as big as it looks in the brochure, due to the trees and the building the sun went down very early in the day by the pool hence there is no real sun in the afternoon. The Breakfast was OK, due to the taking of orders for eggs and the waitresses not keeping track of who was ordering etc every morning was a bit mix up in many of the guests breakfast order (that i could see). Coffee in the machine at breakfast was undrinkable.

Prós: Everything the staff were excellent from the moment of arrival. Food was really good also. Lovely big room overlooking the pool. Quiet resort which suited us.

Prós: The hotel was lovely. We had a fantastic stay. We had a lovely room and they were very accommodating providing us with a cot for our 7 month old. The pool was also lovely, while a little small, it is perfect for the size of the hotel. There were always plenty of loungers available. The real highlight of the hotel is the staff, always friendly and helpful. They really help make the stay enjoyable.

Contras: There is very little I can pick at here. If I am being really critical, the menus are a little limited. Don't get me wrong, the food is very, very good. But the menu felt a little lacking in variety. The breakfast options didn't change for the week we were there and with a baby, we ate lunch there nearly every day and you quickly ran out of different options.

Contras: The pool area was rather small & didn't get the sun in certain areas for much of the day

Prós: Clean room, nice atmosphere.

Contras: Waiting along time for food to be served.

Prós: Lovely hotel and excellent front of house staff, (reception staff).

Contras: Or room was on the outer side of the hotel, overlooking the road and other houses

Contras: Could have had fresh milk as there was a fridge and a few biscuits

Prós: It was fine

Prós: This was our 6th stay at Dom Pedro Marina - Always a joy to stay there. The staff always remember us and are super friendly. We finally got a pool view after asking every year and made a lovely change from the 'carpark view' we usually get lumbered with - so thank you for that :) New sun loungers which were great as you get a shade with them which made laying in the sun that more bearable. Never a struggle to find a bed. We loved it.

Contras: Breakfast - not the best, I feel this goes more down hill each time. It's fine, but could do with a bit of improvement. Drinks / Food from the bar, little expensive. Otherwise, can't fault much else.

Prós: Breakfast was the same everyday which was very boring

Contras: Drinks at the bar are very pricey €15 for a double gin and tonic!

Contras: pool was a little on the small side

Prós: location spot on, breakfast great value, quite location and yet only 2 minutes to the Marina

Contras: nothing

Prós: Location. Second visit. New patio area is very nice round the pool area. Nice to see a bit of the beautiful garden has been left. Lovely new sunloungers. Very comfortable room, lovely view over the pool.

Contras: Didn't like the nespresso machine in our room. Would prefer a kettle.

Prós: Tudo

Contras: Nada

Prós: Excellent buffet breakfast. Great location for the marina and its shops restaurants and bars. Good buffet dinner. Excellent staff.

Contras: Large parties of male golfers were occasionally noisy.

Prós: The bed was really big and the room size was really nice too. Easy to use AC. Good location, close to both the marina and the beach.

Contras: The bed was not particularly comfortable. One of the windows had no net curtain so I could be seen by guests in the pool. The breakfast was average at best - the eggs looked disgusting and wet/slimy. The paintwork, etc. in the room was outdated, as was the general feel and decor of the room.

Prós: Da localização

Contras: por vezes do staff.

Prós: Very Nice and Very Clean Hotel with Exellent Location located nearby Villamoura Beach and Villamoura Marina. Very Nice View from the Balcony. The room had large size and was very clean. During the breakfast time all the food in a wide range were Exellent. We did spent few days in this Nice Hotel with a Great Pleasure ! My positive recommendations to all types of Travellers.

Prós: Very friendly staff! Clean rooms and excellent breakfast.

Contras: There are a lot of drunken golf player during the evening in the lobby, it can be really unpleasant.

Prós: Bastante espaço relvado ao pé da piscina. Os clientes não têm que ficar todos em cima uns dos outros e há muita sombra de árvores ou espaço ao sol por onde escolher. O pequeno almoço também me pareceu muito completo e variado para o que é normal encontrar num 4*

Contras: Os duches de cortesia junto à piscina podiam ter melhores condições para as pessoas se vestirem.

Prós: Location is very convenient Breakfast is good Plenty of sun loungers by the poolside

Contras: Overpriced for the room and facilities Bar service day or night was slow even when quiet Terrace bar food is basic and overpriced Gym facilities are very poor-3 threadmills and 1 bench with a couple of bumbbells! No atmosphere in the hotel inside lounge areas

Prós: The staff were very courteous but not to in your face. The location is amazing short stroll to marina but has a few bars, restaurants and a spar straight across the road. Also the bed was extremely comfortable

Contras: Receptionist

Prós: Lovely pool and gardens, good location, great staff and breakfast was good

Contras: The rooms need a revamp - a bit tired

Prós: The pool is massive, great chill out areas

Contras: Fantastic hotel, great breakfast. Stunning location, fabulous beds. All round amazing!!

Prós: Ótimo pequeno-almoço. Gostei de tudo

Prós: Great location great staff I think a noise from a nearby building site or air conditioning from another hotel but this was not the fault of the excellent Dom Pedro would stay again

Contras: Nothing

Prós: The BED AND PILLOWS. The quiet peaceful nights sleep. Great staff, always happy to help. The breakfast. Room facilities. Basically EVERYTHING!

Contras: Having to leave and go home ☺

Prós: Da tranquilidade, do espaço da piscina, amplo e com espreguiçadeiras suficientes, da qualidade e variedade das refeições, da proximidade a pé da praia e da Marina, mas sem estar “no centro”.

Contras: Nada de importante a apontar, sendo que alguns colaboradores necessitariam de mais algum “tato e discrição”; contudo, de salientar a simpatia e a prontidão que todos demonstraram.

Prós: Boa localização. Bom pequeno almoço. Execelente limpeza dos quartos e zonas comuns. Hotel ganhou bastante com a remodelação das instalações.

Prós: Great location near the beach and Vilamoura marina.

Contras: Poor air conditioning system in the room. Extra fee for gym usage.

Prós: Super comfy and big bed, pool, not too crowded, good breakfast, parking, awesome villas.

Contras: The resort was slightly run down and the staff a little careless but overall very good and beautiful resort.

Prós: the hotel was excellent with the room being exceptional, the room was clean and well decorated, the pool area was very pleasant and the amenities provided were good.

Contras: the service from the restaurant staff was poor with only the manager being able to respond to any requests, there seemed to be a shortage of numbers both within the restaurant and the bars

Prós: The whole experience of a nice hotel in Vilamoura.It was nice to have the golf course swimming pool or within a short stroll. Also having an inside and outside bar with light meals being served all day long.The Buffett breakfast was also very enjoyable sitting by the pond with the Swans and ducks swimming around.

Contras: Some staff where very rude.

Prós: Espaço calmo. Muito verde

Contras: Um pouco longe da praia.

Prós: The hearty breakfast choices and gorgeous pool area

Contras: The cottage rooms are really outdated and very dark rooms...needs a revamp!!!

Prós: Pequeno almoço Localização Piscina interior e exterior

Contras: Os quartos o colchão fiquei toda mordida Não fazem a cama de lavado todos os dias Para um hotel de 5estrelas

Prós: The Pestana Vila Sol Hotel is so convenient for golf at the Vila Sol Golf Club, which is literally a few minutes walk. The courses (3 x 9 hole courses) are great, and the clubhouse, food and staff were excellent. The staff in the hotel were very friendly, especially Miguel, the bar manager, who was always smiling and very efficient. We did not stay in the main hotel, but in one of the rooms in the gardens. The bed was huge and the pillows were perfect. Both were so comfortable. The bathroom was also large. The room had good air conditioning and WiFi, and a patio. We ate out every evening, and it was easy to get a taxi into Vilamoura (10 mins and €10) and back again. Lunch at the poolside was just ok, although the burger with cheese and bacon (which was also on the menu at the golf club) was amazing. We would go again to this hotel if we were playing golf.

Contras: The pool was very cold and the sun beds not particularly comfortable The room was not particularly well lit in the evenings when we were getting ready to go out. I would prefer to stay in the main hotel if I go again. We were not keen on the “English” breakfast, i.e. bacon and sausages, but there was plenty of other choices and the coffee was lovely.

Prós: Um pequeno almoço bom e variado Conforto da cama excelente sem igual O quarto que nos foi oferecido foi fantástico, o maior e melhor do hotel! Com uma vista única, cozinha, sala, duas wc, vista para o campo de golf e para o lago, muito bom! Piscina exterior muito boa! Adorei tocar no piano do bar

Contras: Os funcionarios da cozinha e buffet ( nao todos) sao antipaticos e pouco colaboradores, podiam esforçar se mais. Dou o exemplo que queriam fazer pagar um litro de água para dar leite ao meu bebé, nao gostei da atitude. A sauna, banho turco, precisa de obras, muito antiga e em degradação. O bar da piscina precisa de algumas obras também.

Prós: Not being able to accommodate guests.

Prós: Simpatia do staff. Quartos amplos e limpos. Cama bastante confortável.

Contras: O facto de ter de se pagar 15€ de taxa de serviço pelo Room Service, a meu ver, um hotel desta categoria nunca deveria aplicar esse montante para usufruir do serviço. O pequeno almoço não era nada de estupendo.

Prós: Everything was good and nice Just all holiday I was complaining about air conditioning ( doesn’t work properly and very noisy) Excellent food

Contras: A/c

Prós: Os quartos e o espaço exterior era agradável

Contras: Pequeno almoço num Hotel de 5* com croissants brioche e paes de leite de pacote? Não é admissível. A limpeza é pessima. As toalhas e roupa de cama nunca devem ter sido renovadas. Estão gastas e encardidas de tanto uso.

Prós: An amazing retreat,focussed mainly on health and well-being. Exactly what I needed! I slept for over 12 hours each night, tried the fitness classes on offer and ate the healthy food. A brilliant trip if you want to return home fitter and healthier than when you left!

Contras: I would love the check in time to be earlier to make use of the time there better as I was only on a 3 day trip. It needs heavier weights and mirrors in the gym.

Contras: The hotel and the staff was really nice however, we have booked this wellness/spa relaxing hotel to enjoy our stay in a calm place, but you should know that a disco is just around the corner, and it is really-really loud, some days we could not sleep till 6 am in the morning. That a little bit distroyed our stay and relaxation. The restaurant is very small, sometimes you need to wait for a free table, but the staff is really nice and helpful.

Prós: Quiet, relaxed, spacious rooms.

Contras: Remote, expensive to get into Vilamoura.

Prós: The pool and spa area are lovely. M

Contras: The room was quite basic could do with modernising.

Prós: O sossego e a tranquilidade é essencialmente o que se destaca; longe da confusão de Vilamoura e pouco movimentado; ideal para estadias em família ou escapadinhas românticas A simpatia dos funcionários A tranquilidade da piscina

Contras: O pequeno almoço merece um reforço e os quartos uma renovação/facelift

Prós: Das comodidades do hotel (ginásio, campo de ténis, spa, piscina) . Da simpatia dos funcionarios da recepção.

Contras: Do pequeno-almoço, porque tinha muito poucas opções e só era reposto algum elemento quando os hospedes solicitavam. O número de mesas disponiveis também era reduzido e muitas estavam ao sol. Os quartos apesar de bastante agradavéis estão mal insonorizados. Não só do ruido exterior (proximidade da vida nocturana) mas entre quartos. Dado que acordava todos os dias as 8 da manhã com as crianças a correr no quarto de cima.

Prós: Tranquilidade do espaço e a integração na paisagem.

Contras: Na chegada quiz fazer um lanche no bar, mas como já passava das 20h, não podia ser... Porque era hora do jantar, mas o bar estava deserto... Não entendo este tipo de gestão, mas é lamentável... Tive que ir ao lidl comprar o lanche.

Prós: Swimming pool

Contras: Old fashioned hotel/furniture

Prós: Welcomed my mum on her honeymoon and add extra details such as petals etc .

Contras: Mum explained the hotel was 4 star with 2 star furniture maybe in the future it can refurbish with up to date furniture .. she explained the furniture and look of the hotel was very old school !

Prós: An amazing stay! Every thing was perfect from the staff through to the food. Can not fault a thing!

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Piscina muito boa

Contras: Apartamento pobre. Wifi não funciona Pequeno almoço pobre Funcionários simpáticos mas nota se que não percebem muito de hotelaria

Prós: The gardens were lovely and we received excellent treatments in the spa

Contras: The room was a good size but it looked a bit tired and possibly needed a revamp

Prós: Um hotel agradavel perto do centro hípico de vila moura, sossegado com empregados simpáticos e atenciosos. A tolerancia a animais de estimação é bastante positiva.

Prós: Área do apartamento. Sala muito espaçosa. A relação qualidade/preço não está mal em época baixa. Em época alta é demasiado caro para o nível de conforto/modernidade.

Contras: O relvado deveria ter ligação para a piscina. O sofá da sala apresenta manchas. Algumas paredes apresentam sinais de tinta a descascar. O apartamento necessita de uma remodelação para ter uma apresentação mais moderna e confortável.

Prós: quiet place, near VilaMoura,

Contras: Very old furniture, bad mattress, 16h check in is very annoying

Prós: Muito acolhedor

Prós: Fundamentalmente os espaços verdes e as areas dos apartamentos.

Contras: A necessitar de obras de renovação pois tem instalações envelhecidas e os gatos vadios que circulavam no jardim. Para quem crianças pequenas pode ser perigoso.

Prós: Sossego com jardim e paisagem muito agradável

Contras: As escadas à volta da piscina e muros na mesma com "efeito cascata" pois, apesar de agradável ao primeiro olhar pode tornar-se perigoso para crianças e adultos

Prós: The swimming pool was lovely and a good size, with friendly bar staff and very convenient from the room we were allocated. the room was clean and the air conditioning a bonus.

Contras: The room needed a coat of paint, and they seemed suprised that we wanted to eat a meal there! I had expected to be able to play golf within walking distance of the hotel - you need a car to stay here really . A lot of facilities are advertised but are not on site. I had thought we might use a bus but there were no timetables for the bus which was a bit inconvenient.

Prós: Pool Bar and swimming pool

Contras: Rooms are very shabby,badly overdue a refurbishment

Prós: The location is great even though its far from shops and beaches.Room is nice,very english style.Swimming pool is situated beautifully,the whole territory is clean and green.

Contras: The staff is very unfriendly,poor english.Cleaning was careless.No additional soap and shampoo is strange for 4 star.Luck of facilities-no possibility to get proper food.Tennis court without lights while the dark time is best to play,when its not so hot.

Prós: A very nice hotel for a low price. Great to spend holidays with children.

Contras: The cleaning could be better and the room should be redecorated. Didn't understand why it is necessary to go to the reception to ask a hair-dryer. The check-in only at 16.00. Had to wait 2 hours for it.

Prós: A paisagem e o sossego

Contras: Cama e almofada mais confortável. Almofadas eram bastante duras

Prós: Swimming pool is very convenient. Space of the rooms was excellent.

Contras: The cleanliness was poor and the cleaning service also poor. Some details of "cheapness" as for example the fact that there was no soap in the toilet. The little convenience store was more than poor with no selection of products whatsoever. Decoration could be improved. There is a disco very close to the hotel and the noise level was such that we had to close the windows to sleep.

Prós: A localização era perfeita, o serviço do hotel é 5 estrelas e o café da manhã foi ótimo!

Contras: Os quartos estavam sujos! As paredes pareciam que não eram limpas há tempos. Os tapetes do lado da cama pareciam que não eram lavados há anos. Este definitivamente não é um hotel 4 estrelas, no máximo é um hotel medíocre de 3 estrelas.

Prós: Breakfast was good. Perhaps a better fruit selection

Contras: Bathroom was a bit small. Lots of steps which could be dangerous for some people.

Prós: The location is hard to beat, right by the beach and five minutes from the marina. The staff were helpful, breakfast was plentiful, the spa had constant offers on and was a great place to relax even more. I would definitely book again and aim for the same room - superior twin with sea view. Our room over looked the main pool and the beach. A beautiful view every day. Pools at the hotel are lovely, especially the smaller, quieter one near the hotel entrance.

Contras: The music played at the main pool was sometimes too loud. We moved to the smaller, second pool and could relax better there.

Prós: The hotel is very well situated, 5 minutes from the Marina and almost directly on the beach (many rooms have a view of one or the other); there are plenty of bars, restaurants and other attractions close by. We booked a 2-bedroom suit, and it was quite spacious and well-appointed (small cuisine, 3 bathrooms, balconies, etc.). Staff at reception were very friendly and gave us great suggestions for activities.

Contras: The place you want to avoid is the breakfast room: while it is spacious need for all the guests, and there is enough to please everyone, it is also very chaotic and tends to get dirty after a while. It takes forever to make coffee with their espresso machines, so on the second day we decided to go to the hotel bar and pay for some good Portuguese espresso instead.

Contras: Check-in took an age (45 minutes). Not a good impression for our client guests!

Prós: Big clean room and very friendly staff

Prós: Location and facilities

Contras: Building works at the front and side of the hotel

Prós: Location room with sea virw

Contras: All the noisey golfers The building site

Prós: Great location very clean beds comfortable great breakfast

Contras: Absolute nothing to complain about

Prós: Breakfast was very good. Plenty of variety.

Contras: The bar in the hotel was dated. Only had superbock on draught which is to strong to drink a lot.!! Nit picking I know but you could sell a lot more in a nice bar with more variety.

Prós: Conforto e proximidade da praia. Pequeno almoço variado. Simpatia do pessoal da recepção

Contras: Alguns funcionários da sala de pequenos almoços mal educados, muito ruído de pratos e demora na reposição de comida e bebidas. Pouca prática

Contras: Obras em frente ao hotel com início muito cedo de manhã.

Prós: The room was nicer than in the pictures. Breakfast had a lot of options. Reception staff were very accommodating.

Contras: The breakfast was understaffed so most tables weren’t turned over and so people were fending for themselves for cutlery/napkins/cups. The coffee machine also broke down most mornings.

Prós: Location was excellent just a short walk to the marina with views of the marina, staff were friendly and hotel spotlessly clean, pool dining was very good.

Contras: Pictures show a different light to reality, no sun at pool until after 11am, swimming pool freezing , no happy hour or drinks promotions, rooms felt cheap for cost of hotel.

Prós: The staff were amazing, so helpful and friendly. Location excellent, close to marina and beach.

Contras: The room could have been a little bigger and the internet was a little bit intermittent.

Prós: The location

Contras: Bathroom wasn’t that fresh, toilet area needed a good clean with strong bleach - very unpleasant smell of urine.

Prós: The pool area was great, but overall great location and staff were very helpful, with checking in, checking out and any question you asked.

Prós: Lovely staff, food really gud at pool bar loads of choice, so near Marina just loved it

Contras: I had to go home !!

Prós: The reception staff were extremely friendly... even giving us an upgrade on our room so that we got a better view of the marina.. the view is incredible! We stayed bed and breakfast and each morning had a large range of choices to choose from to eat... the pancakes were particularly delicious and the bacon was more like English bacon than any other hotel I’ve stayed in abroad before (crispy and meaty)! The food was constantly replenished until the very end of breakfast opening times.

Contras: The sausages at breakfast were garlic flavoured so not my cup of tea to eat first thing in the morning. It’s a shame the sun lounger area is in the shade a large part of the day as the hotel is very tall and wraps around the pool meaning you have to keep moving to get them let from the sunshine. During the slightly colder months the pool could also do with being heated so that I could have actually gone in it without getting hyperthermia!

Prós: Pequeno almoço e jantar bom e alojamento compatível com o preço de época alta.

Contras: Animação deficiente ou nula.

Prós: Location excellent

Contras: Breakfast time a bit too busy

Prós: This is the second time I have stayed here. Location was great. Close by to restaurants and shops. Clean rooms and staff very friendly and helpful.

Contras: Nothing.

Prós: Brilliant location, good choice at breakfast including show cooking of omelettes. Everywhere very clean

Contras: We had to chase the sun due to it being late September (obviously not the fault of the hotel!). Pool was freezing!!

Prós: Localização

Contras: Quarto

Prós: Muito bom e variado.

Contras: Nada me ocorre.

Prós: Proximity to Browns where i was playing in a tournament, friendly staff comfy bed!

Prós: Da recepcionista Oksana uma simpatia e sempre pronta a ajudar

Prós: Very good value for a one bedroom apartment. Didn’t have breakfast but think it would have been good as pool bar food for lunch was very good.

Contras: Beds a little firm

Prós: This hotel is fantastic. A little old fashioned, but the pool area is great and so peaceful. I will definitely return next year. Staff are friendly and pool bar is great.

Contras: Few ants in room but can be expected.

Contras: the beds were really hard and also the pillows

Prós: Helpful reception and free taxi service to vilamoura marina

Contras: Nothing

Prós: The resort is well-maintained and pleasant. The staff — from reception to housekeeping— was accommodating and gracious. Overall, a very good value and experience.

Contras: There were a few ants in the bathroom

Prós: Room was very spacious with a balcony. The garden and swimming pool area was fantastic lovely comfortable beds to lie on and catch the sun

Contras: Liked everything

Prós: Ótima cama, larga, confortável e lençóis limpos!!

Contras: Sem comentários

Prós: A simpatia dos funcionários, o quarto, o estacionamento, uma boa piscina, limpeza! Gostamos muito.

Prós: Dimensão do apartamento. Estacionento coberto.

Contras: Wifi pago à parte.

Prós: Location amazing but if this was a 4* it was a very long time ago, it just needs updating, new sunbeds, towels and the beds and pillows are also not the best but the location is a dream and it was very good value for money.

Contras: Dated, sunbeds old, towels literally threadbare.

Prós: Breakfast very good

Contras: Hotel a bit dated

Prós: Good pool area. Good central location

Contras: Two days of no not water in the shower Bland reception area Poor breakfast

Prós: Excellent Location. Staff very friendly. Breakfast good with plenty of choice. Lovely pool. Plenty of sunbeds.

Contras: Rooms need refurbishing especially bathroom

Prós: Hotel muito bem localizado, mas a precisar de umas obras de melhoria para manter o nível que se exige a um D. Pedro.

Contras: O hotel precisar de um pouco mais de atenção em relação a alguns aspetos, nomeadamente no grau de limpeza dos apartamentos e também no material do mesmo. O nosso quarto tinha um candeeiro de mesa de cabeceira partido e não havia produtos de banho, provavelmente por esquecimento.

Prós: Very clean, well located and friendly staff

Contras: Heavy apartment doors make a slamming noise which is load, especially at nighttime

Prós: Hotel location was spot on .staff really friendly and helpful .nice pool. Breakfast and lunch time food really good . Very clean everywhere. Will definitely book this hotel again great value for money.

Contras: I thought the hotel and rooms were very worn and dated .the shower was hot but the water didn't drain away very fast.the sockets in the room where a little out of the way so a pain to get to, to plug in .

Prós: Da localização,serviço e higiene, do jantar e do preço.

Contras: As instalações necessitam de uma renovação e o pequeno almoço mais variedade.

Prós: staying there for the last 5 years or more... location and staff are great..... so friendly especially the restaurant staff and bar staff. Restaurant is also fab - Luis is fantastic. Breakfast is work having feeds you for the day!!! love the Dom Pedro Portobello!!!!

Contras: nothing...,.although they could possible do with a re-investment for new towels... :)

Prós: Outstanding location. Excellent friendly staff Good size rooms Clean and neat. It oozes potential but requires update and refit. Don’t believe it is 4 stars. But we had an enjoyable stay

Contras: The property is dated with fittings old and tired The king bed was two separate beds side by side but made up as single beds. No washing and self laundry facilities. Kitchen appliances dated. No instructions booklet re the unit and facility.

Contras: Too close to the centre. TV didn't come on properly without a log on

Prós: Continent spacious

Contras: Looking a little old

Prós: Bedding very good & staff very helpful.

Contras: No scart socket for DVD player. Initially put in the worst apartment in the building...dark & above two noisy bars, one of them a karaoke bar. The lovely receptionist swapped us into an apartment higher up. Awful balcony furniture.

Prós: Da situação e da simpatia dos funcionarios

Contras: Tive de mudar de quarto porque o ar condicionado nessa divisão não funcionava As luzes do banheiro eram muito fracasnecessitava de lâmpadas led

Prós: View over the marina and the large balcony

Contras: There was quite a lot of noise from below

Contras: Instalações precárias para o nível do alojamento Pessoal antipático e nada atencioso, será a confirmação da máxima que os atendentes no Algarve são mais simpáticos aos estrangeiros que aos portugueses? Não volto a repetir e não aconselho, pelo menos a portugueses

Prós: Big rooms. Great location. Good facilities in the property.

Contras: Bathrooms are in need of major upgrade. Old shower. No pressure. Old fittings

Prós: It is easy to get to marina and restaurants, can be a little noisy if you overlook the marina.

Prós: Really enjoyed our stay, it’s in great location, the apartment was really nice and the beds were so comfortable. We’ve booked for next year.

Prós: Very spacious apartment with a nice view of the marina and a very short walk to the beautiful beach.

Contras: There was no washing machine in the apartment, they did have a laundry service which I am sure was excellent but it was very expensive. The location was very central and as a consequence was a bit noisy at night.

Prós: Location was very good

Contras: Could not find any fault

Prós: Location is excellent

Contras: No staff at bar or pool bar. Both were closed during our stay

Prós: Fab rooms. Clean. Good view

Contras: Pool

Prós: No complaints at all

Contras: Fernando on reception was excellent

Prós: Friendly staff good location

Contras: Kettle did not work

Prós: The apartment was very clean and spacious. There was lots of storage and it had everything we needed.

Contras: It could get quite noisy in the evening but only what you would expect from an apartment block.

Prós: Location space and pool perfect. A few mins stroll to spar shop and down to marina another 15. Lovely clean pool and quiet setting. Apartment had everything you need.

Prós: You get what you pay for that’s all a can say Quiet stay tho

Contras: No staff Never seen a maid the whole week we were there Very very dated

Prós: The Lazeria apartments offer everything you need for a great stay! Adequate facilities and a very welcoming and helpful host!

Prós: Sr Fernando e top

Prós: Pool mainly to ourselves, nice quiet place, manager was friendly.

Contras: Rooms all need redecoration and new furniture, very dated, these apartments have not been updated since the 1980s or 70s, very old furniture. It's about a 25 minute walk to marina which is not a problem, not 15 as advertised.

Prós: Location good, quite area near to supermarket and cafe bars, just a 20 minute walk from Marina. Pool area clean and quiet. Man in charge very helpful. No charge for safe key. Nice balconys, apartments are spacious and well equipped. Excellent shower pressure. There are two lifts.

Contras: Whole complex is tired and in need of a revamp. Damp smell on entering and in some hallways. We had 3 apartments, again quite dated but were well equipped. Stayed one week, apartment only cleaned once, bins overflowing by time we left and no fresh towels. No bar/cafe.

Prós: Nice clean apartments, nice location, thank you Fernando for making us welcome. Recommended !!!!

Prós: O apart é muito confortável. A piscina top. Gostei da experiência.

Prós: Staff were brilliant

Contras: So peaceful

Prós: The air conditioning system was decent.

Contras: Very basic hotel. The reception desk is only open for a few hours each day, and doesnt have any information on taxis, buses, maps of the place, etc. Our room was only cleaned once during our 7 night stay, bed linen and towels also only replaced once. Very outdated. Sockets hanging out of the wall which is quite dangerous. Beds were so uncomfortable. The balcony was tiny, only really room for one person on it. The pool was quite small with very little room for sun lounging around it, there was only about 5 deck chairs. A good 20 minute walk into vilamoura marina.

Prós: Good pool, clean and tidy, easy to reach most places, stayed here on several occasions and its great value for money, staff are friendly and helpful. Restaurant poolside does a good breakfast and the bar is open everyday except mondays, live music is often played in the bar area.

Contras: No full-time staff so if arriving late then you have to wait until they get there, understandable, but not ideal when you have been travelling all day, other than that its a really good place to stay.

Prós: A cozinha tem todos os recursos necessários.

Contras: Muito limpo com funcionários simpáticos. Penso que é tempo de fazerem umas mudanças, umas obras nos quartos. Substituir as madeiras dos quartos, o azulejo da cozinha e o sofá que existe na sala de jantar é urgente. Bar do hotel com gente simpática e produtos de qualidade.

Prós: Cleanliness

Contras: Restaurant closed on a monday

Prós: Localização e limpeza.

Contras: Pouco isolamento nas habitações, piscina pequena

Prós: Hotel staff and bar / restaurant staff were great friendly and very helpful

Contras: Beds not very comfortable, but your not gonna get absolute comfort for €40 a night good value if your just looking for somewhere just to lay your head

Prós: Clean,comfortable beds good shower, twice a week towel change kitchen adequate Bar and restaurant very good with excellent friendly staff Steak on the stone highly recommended Reception girls efficient swift easy check in All in all great value for money

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Location was good, nice area, walkable restaurants, pool side dining. Spacious apartments. Nice staff.

Contras: Paving slabs around the pool uneven we all tripped over them and my son got a cut and infected foot. They are dangerous and someone could sue. Pool could be cleaner ( grimy sides and surface debris)

Prós: Clean, and the staff was very pleasant

Prós: WiFi was good and worth getting router despite the deposit required

Contras: Photos of pool deceptive. Area smaller than appears. Not much space around same. Insufficient sunbeds and always seemed to be "reserved".

Contras: pool area paving in very bad condition

Contras: Longer reception time
