Basic requests like kitchen equipment (chef knife or any other than bread knife, manual orange juice squeeze) were neglected several times. Those are not expensive. Service and staff not on a good level. Didn't feel like Portugal 😒 e.g. In a bar i ordered and paid for fresh squeezed juice. Instead I got carton one. When complained i got response - yes but then I would need to take more time to squeeze it! Sic! Isn't that what I paid for?

For a 4 star hotel, the decor and maintenance (especially of the rooms) leaves a lot to be desired. I have been in this hotel ha + - 15 years, and the decoration / presentation of the rooms is the same, being that the maintenance conditions are weak, the bathroom is flushed down, lavatory without furniture only with support of lavatorio and tubing in sight, cracked tiles and very out of fashion. Compensated with the friendliness of the staff, the quality of the pool, and the memory of the visit and memories of years ago.

Lovely lay out, comfortable and relaxing. Not too crowded or on top of each other.

Enjoyed our stay at Estrela do Vau.The staff were friendly and helpful and the hotel itself was excellent value for money in a wonderful location.. Our only concerns were the beds which we felt were not up to standard and if satellite tv is promoted then you would expect something more than just Sky News . Allowing for these concerns we would willingly come back to Estrela do Vau again.

Wifi not included in rooms which is a bit outdated but otherwise ok and friendly staff.

Mixed feelings about this place. Hotel was clean and well maintained. 2 bed apartment was a great size and very comfortable and very clean. Hotel staff were very professional and friendly and interacted well with the kids and laid on as much entertainment as the kids were interested in. Hotel grounds however, were a little bit on the shabby side, (as was the general neighbourhood to be fair) no Mini golf course as advertised and two tennis courts were unusable due to lack of netting and dirt. Still expected to pay €10 per person to use them though. Pool area was clean and well maintained but merely functional. Biggest problem though was the food. For a four star hotel the food was disgusting. Buffet breakfasts were cold and unappetizing as well as the buffet meals in the supposed restaurant. Only way to describe the food there was "thrown together" I have to stress the point that I was not the only guest to feel the same was. most of the guests we chatted with felt the same way. "Great hotel, shocking food for 4 stars". Guests staying in the hotel on a full or half board were disgusted by the food on offer.

We enjoyed our stay lovely holiday, the hotel could do with some updating in most areas i.e. bathrooms. The staff are excellent especially front desk so helpful in every way. A refurbishment would send this hotel to ten out ten again.

A great place to stay. Its away from all activities and noise. If you want to relax stress free then this is the place for you. However to go anywhere like restaurants, nightclubs etc it is 2km from everything then you will need to get taxis. The staff are very polite and helpful. Overall I will go there again and again.

We stayed at Estrela de Vau 4 years ago and we were pleased to see that the hotel had been very well maintained since then. There was an indoor swimming pool under construction during our visit and we were accommodated well away from any potential disturbance.Staff throughout were very friendly and helpful. Our 1 bed apartment was spacious and nicely decorated, with daily cleaning service and towel change. The only drawback was the location, 10 min walk to beach and half hour walk to Alvor,a car would be best, although taxis are readily available.We are very happy to recommend Estrela de Vau.
