Good for a Base
Overall we enjoyed our stay at Prado do Golf but there is definitely room for improvement. First of all, the reception is unmanned from 6pm so if you arrive after that, all you get is an envelope stuck to the door with a map to get to your room and instructions. There is no-one to speak to should you need anything. The bar also closes quite early (around 10pm I think) so if you arrive after that and want food or drink, you'd have to go out of the accommodation and look for something local. The rooms are very dated and could look so much better with a bit of modernisation. Our villa had broken tiles and cracks in windows that really should be fixed and my Mum & Dad's had a patio that had clearly been broken into but never repaired. Our door handle fell off on the first day so had to be fixed then a few days later, our key would not come out of the door when it was unlocked, only when it was locked?!? I reported it to reception but they could not do anything about it as it was a Sunday and we left the next day. Other than that it is a decent base, the bar served decent food but mainly pub grub typed food and the pool was nice and well kept. Overall we enjoyed our stay but it really needs some money spent on moderinising and repairs.

Not the place we throught we booked
We originally thought we had booked the Prado Do Villa's which we have stayed in a number of times, the pictures do not differ too much at all. This is the sister site and is apartment blocks of 4 instead of individual apartments. The roads around the site are poor and need of resurfacing, the apartments are all very dated and in need of a refresh. The site does not have a fence around it allowing wide life in and out, which is also not ideal for families with children who want to play outside the apartment. Although the apartment is kept clean and tidy there is a number of issues with vents being clogged with bird nests, apartments having a damp smell about them, bathrooms not having suitable vents, kitchens require an update, beds were horrendous to sleep on, TV was from the 90's with a very poor signal that no channel was worth watching. The site did have wifi but very intermittent and could only really be used stood outside the reception block. Disappointed with the apartment overall but the services like the bar, cafe, pool were very good and the staff at the bar were very helpful throughout the holiday.

Intruder in the night
We found the whole stay unpleasant / The lady at the reception was not helpful or didn't seem to be bothered with showing us where our room was . The villa was freezing and when we put on the heating we found we couldn't turn on the kettle at the same time . When we rang the manager Isobelle to see what was going on she was dismissive and informed us we couldn't do the two things at the same time due to lack of power We found during the whole stay the fuse kept on going off if we used two appliances at the same time However our worst experience came couple of days before leaving We got an intruder in the middle of the night ! ! At about 1.30 am a person broke into our villa and STOLE money from my husbands wallet whilst we were asleep . I woke up whilst he was doing this and he quickly scurried away I woke my husband up and we called the police immediately When we informed Isabelle about this she was not only unsympathetic but her whole attitude was uncaring and unresponsive . She couldn't be bothered it seemed This has to be the worst place I have stayed in on holiday as it turned out to be more of a nightmare than a holiday !

Comfortable apartments close to Golf complexes
Chose Prado do Golf as it was central for Golf, next to Old Course, and within a few minutes taxi ride of all other courses in the Vilamoura area. The apartments were clean and spacious, staff were friendly and accommodating. An ideal base if you are looking to play Golf or just relax Would recommend

Hotel convenient
Hotel was convenient for golf tournament held on the Victoria course. Walking distance to Spa shop and multibank. The Bistro bar served good meals and was in a pleasant area by the pool. Apartment was practical for self catering with all kitchen equipment available. Maid came every other day to clean the apartment, perhaps the hotel might consider having recycling facilities as nearest ones were at or by the Spa shop. Location just outside Vilamoura town was good for larger shops and the pharmacy. Pleasant visit to the marina with all the restaurants. Would consider staying there again.

Very comfortable dated but just as it always, excellent space in the villa, clean all you need really. Could just do with some updates in some parts furniture, the only real miss for some could be lack of Wi-Fi we all need contact at some time and this would be my only minor problem, excellent pool bar with great hosts and great food very pleasant place to relax.

Nice place, no stress!
Arrived about an hour earlier then planned but no problem - checked straight in, no fuss. Villa was basic but comfortable with everything we needed. Maid came in twice in the week and the place was spotless! We didn't spend a lot of time at the pool or restaurant but they both looked nice and seemed popular with other guests. Great location, easy to find- definitely recommend it.

basic accommodation, excellent value for money
The accommodation was fairly basic but represented excellent value for the price. The room upon arrival was clean and tidy but not so easy to find as we arrived late in the evening and the directions somewhat vague, some areas of the complex were in darkness understandably in consideration of other guests but a simple illuminated sign stating which block you were looking at would have helped as a white cube looks the same as any other white cube on the complex. Plenty of room inside and a nice balcony to sit out on with a meal or drink with a reasonable amount of privacy afforded or a large dining table inside to suit. All the kitchen items were fully serviceable, crockery, glasses, pots and pans etc and an iron and board to take out those suitcase creases! Clean bath and hand towels provided in the bathroom and a very good overbath shower, never any issues with hot water either!! On the downside the TV was a very old model with limited reception, no problem if your out and about during the day but should it be raining and you were inside for a length of time not so good. A couple of the kitchen floor tiles needed replacing and the bathroom could do with a lick of paint but overall you could not fault it for the price paid. The swimming pool and area were clean and tidy and plenty of loungers but a few more umbrellas would not go amiss? The bar and bistro provided good food and drinks, value for money and the hosts were very pleasant to the customers.

basic
Stayed here for 10 days and arrived at 10pm. The reception was closed (closed every day at 6pm) and on the front door was attached a note, the key and a map to the villa. In the dark we searched 20 mins for the accom. The villa was ok, basic with a kitchen and bathroom (hot water every day which was great). The view to the 'garden patio' was dissapointing. A 10ft mound of sand outside our window and the grass was scorched bare. Poorly maintained grounds looked shabby to be honest. Our bathroom smelt of urine when we arrived and we soon discovered that the toilet leaked to the extent that it flooded the entire bathroom leading to the bedroom. The pool area was attractive but as we didn't ever see anyone maintain this area, I was reluctant to swim in the water for fear of picking up an infection which has previously happened on holiday due to dirty pool water. We decided to go next door to the apartamento do golf where the grounds and pool area are top notch and maintained daily having stayed there four years earlier but unfortunately it was booked up this year. On the plus side, the bar area at Prado do Golf was housed by an English family and the food was delicious and inexpensive. 7 euros for a full Greek salad. Drinks from 2 euros. However, the bar closed 11pm every night, 9pm on Sundays and there is absolutely nowhere open in Vilamoura after these times. You need to catch a 10 minute cab to the marina to enjoy more nightlife. Bus stops are located outside which take you to the marina, Faro and Albufeira (upto 6pm running). Albufeira is great for the 18-35 age group and has a wonderful beach. The marina in Vilamoura is also packed with restaurants and bars and a lovely beach. Overall, if you want very basic accom where there are few facilities and you know you will be travelling elsewhere, the Prado will do to rest your head. It would suit someone who is experienced with backpacking as the accom is basic and not the cleanest.

Peaceful quiet large apartment, excellent pool, bar, bistro, in a lovely area of Vilamoura. The apartment was large and roomy clean, Staff obliging and helpful.

Very quiet complex and nice and peaceful. Villas were a little dated however they were clean and tidy and had everything in them that you needed and plenty of room. Parking was easy and nearby and it was quick to drive into Villamoura and to get to the main highway.

Basic facilities.
We were greeted by a friendly young staff member and given our key. The apartment was very basic. The bed cover had to be washed as was very dirty. The pillows were very small but they provided extra pillows when asked. The kettle and can opener were replaced when asked for replacement items. The room was furnished with broken furniture. We put two arms on the very low armchairs to make two completed ones, leaving the spare chair without arms. The apartment was good for a basic accommodation stay. The staff were helpful. The appearance of the site is abit untidy, but had a pool and bistro which we did not use. The bed was comfortable, which was good. Excellent airconditioning units, which did heat and cool. The telly was very old, but had alot of English speaking TV channels.

Basic comfort but really nice and quiet location
A really nice villa in a quiet area with comfortable beds. We were really missing a washing machine and a larger drying rack. The fridge and TV were old. No freezer either, but I could see them changing appliances in the villa next to us. Overall however we spent 2 really nice weeks there. The place is 3km from the sea so would recommend a car, there's also a lot to see around.

basic accomodation
This is not a hotel, but a selection of holiday apartments. Our apartment was 1 bed with kitchen/ lounge/ diner and bathroom. The whole place is a bit tatty and needs a makeover. There was no breakfast offered (unless you were prepared to wait until midday). It is some way out of the centre, which is 7 minutes or so by car and far too far to walk. We had our beds made on the 3rd of our 4 night stay. Price was very good, but next time, we will find somewhere nearer the sea and pay more.

Lovely small villas in peaceful area.
Prado villas are in a very peaceful area, as a regular traveller to the algarve thought I would try prado villas , they are nice small villas a little oldsyworldy don't expect modern. But do expect clean and every thing you would need for self catering. A car is a must if you want to get around , walked to vilamoura fast speed took 45 minutes , read review before booking and someone wrote 20 mins must have been that bolt fella ! There is a bar in complex with bistro, and pool. So not a problem for snack. A perfect place for a relaxing holiday but a car will help as not much in surrounding area. The best place to eat is a place called cabana in quarteira taxi would know ( the main restaurant with long wooden tables) .closed Sundays. If you like bars noise etc nearby this is not the place. As a peaceful base away from the bright lights it's perfect.

Budget accommodation, clean but tired and does really need some investment throughout, including pool and bar area. Quiet location, easy to find, easy to access centre of Vilamoura etc and close to golf courses. Ample free parking. Ideal as a budget base but not really if you want to spend time at the villa as little furniture, and this was basic / broken but for budget price cant expect 4*.

The staff were really friendly and helpful, especially Luciano in reception who couldn't have been more kind and helpful. The shower needed fixing and, when reported, was fixed within the hour!! The food in the Bistro was great, the atmosphere nice and relaxed. Loved sitting out on our patio, not overlooked by anyone and enjoying a peaceful breakfast or drinks in the evening. Just our type of place, no concrete jungle, just relaxed with beautiful shrubs and greenery to enjoy. We would certainly recommend this place!

good considering the price.
The hotel was good considering how much we paid for it- everything was a little dated but clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. There were little niggles such as windows not locking properly, bbq grill missing, teapot lid missing, t.v remote missing not much in the way of utensils etc in the kitchen but otherwise was a pleasant stay- pool area was nice although only three parasols to go rounds between everyone- more would have been nicer. Poolside bar/bistro was really nice with lovely staff. We had a car but within five minuet walking distance of small supermarket and bus stop right outside if you didn't have a car. Wi-fi only accessible in very limited areas and no air conditioning but all in all a lovely week and good for what we paid for it.
