This year is the second time we've stayed at Vale do Lobo, we stay at a friends' villa so don't use the beaches too much but they are beautiful, well kept and not too crowded. The praja where the restaurants are is perfect, wander down for evening cocktails (watch out, bit pricey!) and then enjoy a meal. Most evenings there's... More

There are several splendid, scenic courses in the area. Not only challenging, but also manicured and empty. Quite nice to be able to golf in the morning, beach comb in the afternoon, and dine out on seafood in the evening. I think the whole area is an under-rated tourist destination. More

Recently played both the Ocean and Royal courses and both were excellent. The Ocean course, in particular, has some lovely holes by the Ocean. Quite expensive relative to some other courses in the Algarve but a must for any serious golfer visiting the area. More

McGinty's Bar is a new addition this year to the Vale do Lobo social landscape and what a welcoming haven it is. Located by Barrington's hotel and driving range, this is a simple, unpretentious bar with a log stove, a couple of TVs and attentive, friendly hosts in Brian & Christine. A standard draft lager for 2 euros attends to... More

The resort is beautiful, the golf courses are great, the beach is nice and I would definately return to this resort, however you get charged for everything from beach towels to lounge chairs for example. All in all, nice place but for what you pay its annoying to have every little thing be an extra charge. More

We stayed at Vale do Lobo close to Barringtons for a week from 02/09/2006 and enjoyed a great week of sun, golf, great food, plenty of beer and wine and great nightlife. The area is very well maintained and the whole site is safe and secure. Great for families for the beach holiday and obviously fantastic for golfers with some... More

Vale do Lobo - I know it well having spent most of my holidays there so I know it is a great place, however this time it was a nightmare. Having spent a lot of money for a villa through Design Holidays - we found ourselves on on the edge of a building site and next to a very busy... More
