Just returned from our annual golfing holiday with like minded friends, this is our umpteenth stay at the Dona Filipa Hotel and I cannot speak highly enough about the situation of this hotel, close to the fabulous beach at Val de Lobo with fantastic views along this beautiful coastline, restaurants close by and the Vale de Lobo golf course within...

May 5 - 9th 2013 4 night BB, 4 ladies golf break. This hotel is lovely, although in need of a refurb which was taking place whilst there, did not interfere with the holiday. Incredibly clean, very attentive staff, we stayed in room 518, balcony overlooking golf course and to the right the ocean, second window overlooking pool and ocean.... More

this hotel caters to golfers and has an excellent course, the San Lorenzo, which is worth the price of admission. They run hundreds of golfers through this facility - mostly from the UK. We were on a 2 week golf and culture tour (4 couples from Calgary, Canada) organized by Seamus at golfexperience.net, who did an excellent job. We (the... More

Stayed at the Dona Filipa at the end of April, been going on and off for 20 years. The hotel is of a very high standard although is lacking one or two basic amenities such a tea/coffee making facilities and Sky TV. Having said that the location is pretty special and the whole area breathes quality. Food is pretty good... More

This hotel is 5 star. So you wouldn't expect the hotel managers to put paying guests in rooms which look out onto a building site with workers in masks to protect them from the dust ( no such protection for the holiday makers). We arrived and were shocked by what we saw from our balcony, to the credit of the... More

We returned here as a group of sixteen golfers after a gap of seven years and were a little surprised to see little change in the fabric of the building, and furnishings since our last visit. The hotel was tired then and is even more so now. Yes there is evidence of an external repainting but methinks this looks like... More

Having returned from the hotel in April, I was delighted that everything is as good as our September visit. Friendly, dedicated staff are always at your service and the restaurant is of a very high standard-the vast menu includes 8 fish dishes! A hotel that is a joy to visit.

Stayed here from 12th to 15th April with 3 other friends. Good weekend playing golf and relaxing. Stayed here a lot over the years (last time 2007!!). Got a great deal for the weekend for golf and accommodation. The hotel hasn't changed much since my last visit. I did notice they were doing a bit of refurbishment work to the... More
