Alcoutim Vacations from $818

The resort from the outside is beautiful, but it’s the details that count. To start, the lobby is quite busy, but there is only one or two people staffed at any given time so even if you have a simple question, you will wait. The suite is beautiful when you first walk in. However, there were many inconveniences. There are no hooks in bathroom to hang towels or robes. The shower glass door is 1/3 size so it water covers the floor when you are done showering. Then your towels are soaked because they are on the floor because no hooks or place to hang towels. It also takes 10 minutes for the water to get warm. You have to bend low to adjust where water sprays from which is under a bar, so prepare to smack your head a few times. Once done, also prepare for the humidity to last about an hour. You can open front door to lessen the time to 45 minutes. There are very few outlets so don’t have more than one phone to charge. The air conditioner was very unreliable and shut off in the middle of the night every day. You have one bottle of water and if you ask for more water, you will be told to go to the bar to purchase it. If the single bartender is busy, you will wait until he finishes making drinks until you can buy your water to bring upstairs. The bed is very uncomfortable and you have tiny pillows. They are also very uptight about the towels. I am giving 3 stars because overall the staff is kind and because of the beach access. The beach area was fantastic!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at the newly opened Viceroy Ombria Algarve, and it exceeded our expectations in nearly every way. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome—genuinely friendly, attentive, and always eager to help without being intrusive. The architecture is truly a standout feature: modern yet rooted in the local aesthetic, with beautiful design touches throughout that made the entire property feel luxurious and unique. The pools were absolutely incredible—serene, well-designed, and perfect for relaxing under the Algarve sun. The entire hotel is spotlessly clean, and every space feels modern and updated, clearly reflecting the care that went into its recent opening. We also spent some time at the spa, which was nothing short of perfection. From the ambiance to the quality of treatments, it was a top-tier wellness experience. The on-site restaurants were also excellent. Each meal we had was flavorful and beautifully presented, with a variety of options that catered to both local and international palates. One important note for future guests: the hotel is located in the countryside, so it’s a good 30–45 minutes by car to the coastal Algarve towns and beaches. A rental car is definitely recommended if you plan to explore beyond the resort. That said, we actually appreciated being away from the busy tourist areas—it made for peaceful evenings and a more authentic connection to the region. We used the hotel as a relaxing base for day t

A great 5 night holiday. Location around the marina was perfect with great dining options. The hotel was perfect , we had an interconnecting room and pool area was social.

Amazing staff. Clean. Vibes.
