Vale D el Rei Hotels and Villas

"We're just home from visiting the hotel for a week as a family of 2 adults and 2 children (12 & 10). Our villa was beautiful and so spacious! Our only suggestion here would be for more kitchen utensils please! We didn't have a chopping board or sharp knives available and we usually ate one small meal in our villa each day. Also no dish cloths or washing liquid was provided so we had to buy both and suspect most of this will have been thrown away by cleaners. Buffet breakfast was great - fresh fruit, cold meat and cheese, cooked breakfast and many bread and pastries available daily. We ate in the poolside restaurant one evening and found this to be convenient but wouldn't necessarily rush back for the price. Velvet bar had a great selection of drinks and snacks available at reasonable prices. We only used the main non heated pool but it was a lovely environment and we never had issues finding loungers available (visiting during May half term) at any time of day. We used the free shuttle bus to Carvoeiro and this was great for us to head out to watch the play off finals! Special shout outs to Telma who organised the most beautiful anniversary arrangement for myself and my husband 🥰 and to Carlos at the pool bar who was my son's absolute favourite when he remembered to ask how his team did in the football ⚽🥰 All in all a wonderful and peaceful break, a welcome change from the AI chaos we've been used to with children for the last few years!"

"Another wonderful stay at the Vale Del Rei, our fourth visit and we just can’t fault it. The peaceful location, the beautifully refurbished rooms, the excellent breakfasts and the most helpful and delightful staff make the Vale Del Rei such a special place and why we wouldn’t go elsewhere, thank you, we look forward to our stay next year 🙏🏻"

"I stayed at Hotel Vale D’El Rei in October 2025 and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. The room was spotless and comfortable, and the facilities were top-notch. Breakfast was fresh, varied, and delicious. When we had a small issue with our booking (our fault), the staff were amazing — friendly, efficient, and genuinely eager to help. Their attitude made all the difference. It’s a beautiful, relaxing place to stay, and I’d happily return. Highly recommended."
