Crowne Plaza Vilamoura

I recently stayed at Crowne Plaza Vilamoura for a few nights, and while there were some positive aspects, a few issues left me feeling underwhelmed. To start with, I was disappointed to encounter silverfish in the bathroom on multiple occasions. This made the bathroom feel less clean and put a damper on the overall experience. Cleanliness is a basic expectation, and this was definitely below par. Another issue was the EUR 25 deposit required per pool/beach towel. While I understand the need for security, this seemed excessive, especially for a standard hotel. It felt more like a hassle than a necessity. The coffee capsules in the room costs EUR 2.5 which I have not encountered at any 5 star hotel I've stayed before. Finally, the queue at breakfast was quite long most mornings. On the positive side, we did get a nice surprise in our room on my birthday with a bottle of sparkling and cake. Overall, while the hotel had some good points, these issues made my stay less enjoyable than I had hoped. I would not recommend or return to this hotel.

We stayed here for four nights with a group of 8. Throughout our stay, the service everywhere from reception to the bar/restaurant to housekeeping was top class. A special mention to Mario who remembered our names and details every time we passed by. Food and drinks were a little pricey as expected, but good. Rooms were nice and clean and with towels changed daily if required. Location is perfect being only a few minutes walk from the Marina. We went the other way for food a couple of nights on the recommendations of the bar staff at the Caddyshack Bar at the end of the road. Overall we had a restful, enjoyable stay and would not hesitate to return.

We spent a week there with our 2 boys. The service was superb and all staff were so incredibly friendly and helpful. The room was nice and light, with a great view. The pool was huge and the boys were happy to play in it all day long. The breakfast and dinner buffets were fantastic and food was absolutely amazing. Would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone

A stunning hotel, which leads directly onto the beach. To the right is the new vilamoura, with the yachts, bars, restaurants, and stunning sunset, and to the left of the hotel is miles of beach + the older town of Vilamoura . The breakfast is delicious, a great variety . The lighting around the entire hotel has been so we'll thought through. It's all very soft lighting, giving everything a calm appeal. On arrival, make sure you have a " spare" €25 per person, as you'll need to reserve a towel for your sunbeds.

Quite underwhelming, I feel like I paid way too much for what was given us. No additional stuff was added to the bathroom, beside 1 showercap and 5 paper tissues, you even get charged for coffee cups in your room. You’d expect so much more from a pricy 5 star hotel. If you think you’re getting a hotel with a beachfront, you’re not, because the beach doesn’t belong to the hotel so there you also have to pay a daily price to use the beds and parasols available. Breakfast for some reason left me with stomach problems every single time, I think it was the fruits since they didn’t taste very fresh either. Besides that, there was a variety of options at breakfast, but also a very long line if you don’t come in early, and if you want still water, they only offer water from the tap which tastes really bad. The rooms are fine, the beds are extremely comfortable which made me very happy, but hygiene is questionable since a lot of things felt really sticky, for example the locker, fridge and balcony doorhandle. The toilet seat also wasn’t steadily attached which made it quite uncomfortable to use. There isn’t any night entertainment or program either, which is the least you’d expect from a 5 star hotel. Overall disappointed, wouldn’t go here again.
