Crowne Plaza Vilamoura - Algarve, an IHG Hotel

We stayed in early October for 9 nights Amazing outdoor pool ( although not heated ) Best breakfast buffet we have ever had - huge choice of both hot and cold breakfast items beautifully displayed and continually topped up. Could not fault anything by about it Room spacious with a view towards Quarteira and the sea - very well appointed with huge comfortable bed and very good size bathroom. Coffee machine as well as tea making facilities. Spa facilities very good and we used for the two days when weather poor. Really lively indoor pool ( this is heated!)

We stayed for 7 days with a toddler and had a lot of fun. The property had a small kids room, which was great during hot days to take some break. Gym was amazing (for a hotel) with a lot of machines, something that is rare for hotels. Breakfast was exceptional! Amazing selection, for all 7 days there were things to try and not get bored. Our room was spacious and comfortable with a huge bed. Pool area was a blessing with a toddler who didn't want to swim in Atlantic Ocean :) It was very large to accommodate a lot of people, so never felt overcrowded and very well maintained. Location of the hotel is also great, close to the beach and to both sides of Vilamoura. Hotel restaurant for lunch had good selection of food.

We’ve been to Vilamoura so many times but this was our first time in the Crown Plaza and it was absolutely fantastic!! The breakfast, the food at the pool and the cocktails were top class. The staff are so attentive and could give lessons to other hotels on how to treat guests!! It was my husband’s birthday while we were there and we came back to our room to find they had left us cava, drinks for the kids and birthday cake…. It was brilliant! Would highly recommend this hotel and we will never stay anywhere else again as the others do not compete!!

Great location, easy to park, clean, great staff, and good food.

Breakfast had lots of variety which I appreciated. The spa staff were fantastic. Philippa and the beauticians were lovely. I still think of the massage and facial. They were gloriously relaxin h and refreshing. Front desk staff were good, Hugo at reception gave us a great recommendation. My room was lovely but could have used some paint above the sliding door to the bathroom and when I turned the fan on there was dust everywhere. Overall the facilities were lovely despite the construction next door.
