Great location,big room

Lovely hotel in a great location. The room was very spacious and cold! The staff on the reception left us with mixed feelings. We have met some fantastic professional staff ....and some cocky young lads that had smart comments to everything. The breakfast was fantastic however the coffee was below average and the pods for the coffee machine in the room were not filled up once over our one week stay. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Gym was very basic and small - but you could pay extra for a much better one! Really expect a decent gym in a 5 star hotel. Lots of things (e.g. coffee pods) are charged as extras - again not necessarily what you expect paying 5 star prices.

Had a fantastic stay at Vidamar Resort Algarve, a really easy and quick check in. Got our room keys, and hired two towels (fee was repaid upon check-out) and the room was spacious, well lit and all appliances worked too! The shower was spacious, and the mirror was well lit. Very comfy bed, and a spare pillow was in the room if needed also. Balcony gave great views onto the golf course next door, with little to no road noise, and even through the massive windows, the sun was well blocked out by the blackout curtains. Breakfast was a very good selection, from full English to meats and cheeses and eggs cooked to your own preference. Didn't try out the buffet evening meal, so can't comment on that. Swimming pool was well attended at all times by life guards, and there were plenty of sun loungers, bean bags and parasols for everyone to have their own space. Staff were always pleasant, and our room was clean. Would come back again, for sure!

Stayed here in August with my husband and 6 year old for 12 nights. The rooms are modern, clean and beds very comfortable. The pool was the highlight, it's huge, with 2 smaller kids pools. Plenty of sun loungers and nice fresh towels every day - so no need to bring any. The breakfast was fantastic! We paid for the buffet one evening which was very expensive and I wasn't impressed with the food at all. The Italian restaurant was nice but overpriced. The hotel is located next to the beach which is great but we discovered all of the sun loungers had reserved signs on them so we couldn't stay long with no shade. There really isn't much around the hotel at all, we ended up paying quite a bit to go into albuferia in the evenings. Overall we loved the hotel itself but wouldn't go back due to the location and very overpriced food and drinks.

No advertised services

Hotel is clean and has a 5 star feel, but honestly misses a huge opportunity for 5 star service. Couple of examples: Gym - you have to have a gym to be 5 star, they advertise one, but in truth the gym is an additional €10 per day. They do have a room to use for free, but all equipment is broken and u safe, but as you are changed and in the mood, you’ll pay the €10 to use the larger facility. Bars/resturants - markets a wonderful sunset bar and restaurant, however, it’s was privately hired out for weddings four of the 8 nights we stayed. Your left with the hotel bar, that is in the lobby and no atmosphere. Overall this is a clean and new hotel, but 4 star at best.

We recently stayed in VidaMar Algarve and it was exceptional. The hotel is top quality in every way. The pool area was 10/10. It was so beautiful, clean and comfortable and never too busy. The adult only area is absolutely stunning and so relaxing. The bedrooms are top class. The layout of the shower and bathroom are very well designed and really modern. When you arrive back from a day in the sun the feeling of a gorgeous air conditioned, spotless clean fresh room is just perfect. The cleaners always set the temperature just right for you. The food at breakfast was out of this world and such a variety. We visited the Primadonna restaurant at the hotel and it was absolutely delicious. The most beautiful beach lies just outside the hotel with a very short walk 2-3 mins along a gorgeous bridge all while looking directly at the sandy Salgados beach. The location of the hotel is just perfect and the surroundings of the other hotels and golf resort is just beautiful to be surrounded by. If you want to travel to Albufeira it is only €7/10 in a Uber. The way the hotel is set it’s just perfect. The staff treat everyone so well in all areas of the resort. We met an incredible guy who works at the VidaMar called Zain. If you stay here make sure to keep an eye out for him he made our stay he treated us with so much kindness and was so helpful. We also met a lovely girl called Sonia from India she was so beautiful and kind. We will definitely be returning to VidaMar it was incredible

Holiday

The hotel is in a very quiet location and if you want to leave the resort you will need a taxi or a car. There are no local restaurants or shops to walk to. There is a small supermarket about 10 minutes walk away which serves good coffee, very cheaply. We had half board and the buffet breakfast is good. The buffet evening meal has a wide range of foods but can feel a bit samey from day to day. 2 nights they had weddings and we were disturbed until about 1am. They offered to move us but we didn’t want the upheaval when we only had 3 days left of the holiday. Also on one day the housekeeping missed our room and we had to request a clean which they did but not until about 8pm Coffee making is available in the room but you need to purchase the coffee pods. They have 2 gyms. One is very well equipped but you need to pay for and is open 10-7. The other is very small, old equipment, no water but open 24hrs
