In all my years of travelling, this is the most honest and respected hotel I have come across. I booked 2 rooms, in an unforeseen circumstance, I was unable to use the second room even thou I paid for it and was non-refundable. Despite this, the hotel understood my personal reasons and fully refunded me £1200\. What other hotel would do this without incurring a penalty. The staff are so nice and respectful. I wish this hotel and the staff all the success. Gob Bless you all.

Area around the hotel dead and not much choice for restaurants within walking distance. Rooms clean but show curtain and shower run off taps, roulette whilst showering incase a scolding burst of hot water came your way. Would stay agin but needs updating. ##### D J Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathan Jul 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Super family beach stay Upgraded room was a great success ##### Jonathan Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janet Oct 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Dona Filipa Hotel.

The food was excellent and we would be more than happy to return. ##### Janet Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Peter Sep 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff were a bit grumpy at times and the air con in the room was too loud but otherwise a nice hotel in a great location. ##### Peter Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wayne Sep 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A real Gem of an hotel and our visit was made enjoyable throughout..... The hotel is lovely with a touch of grace and in a great position for acces to the beach and restaurants in Praca The staff are friendly and helpful throughout Our only frustration would be the complex air conditioning in the bedrooms which is a small issue in the entire scheme of things Look forward to our next visit ##### Wayne Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jul 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely hotel in Vale do Lobo Another lovely stay at this hotel. Wonderful view from our balcony. Superb breakfast with very friendly staff and fantastic view across the pool to the sea. Concession on the beach is perfect too. Looking forward to our next stay. ![Wonderful views from balcony](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6FB8D21A595AA29B5B150894DDB92474DA7CD25A1720165128151.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/AFE29D06CC7FBBEFD4639CEA35F7825B70A8AAEA1720165129628.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Gregory Jun 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Nice stay at Dona Filipa hotel. Rooms very dated but there was an option to upgrade at a cost. Breakfast very good and staff attentive. Pool area ok, beach lovely. ##### Gregory Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark Aug 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities We were lucky and had a recently re-furbished room which was excellent. Big room and bathroom. Rest of hotel needs some modernising but llocation and for golf, beach an ideal location. I would recommend this hotel. ##### Mark Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Heyrick Aug 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Very good The staff are brilliant. The hotel is lovely but could do with a little tidying up around the edges, especially the pool which needs a clean as do the tennis courts. Overall a really good stay. The hotel is also in a great spot with lots of activities within walking distance. ##### Heyrick Stayed 12 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lisa Aug 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness A very tired hotel, we stayed in a premium room, shower leaked everywhere. Noisy and old air con Breakfast ok The location is the best for walking to the beach and the praća but everything needs updating unfortunately ##### Lisa Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine Sep 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### A Little Piece of paradise We were greeted at reception by Leonardo, who was exceptional and really took care of us. Melani was also of great assistance during our stay. We however found that some of the pool and breakfast staff members lacked experience. We stayed in a premium room with golf/sea views. The room was luxurious and the views from the small balcony were simply wonderful The super king sized bed was so comfy. Water and tea/coffee were replenished on a twice daily basis Breakfast at the Kamal restaurant overlooking the outdoor pool with panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean was just wonderful The selection of food was fresh, varied and of a very high standard. A choice of eggs was also available to order. Breakfast was available from 7-10.30 which was great The choice & standard of food at the pool bar was good. There were plenty of sun beds available at the pool area and a good supply of towels. Parts of the pool decking were unsafe. The pool was great though a little chilly . Definitely not for the faint hearted. The hotel lobby, bar and restaurant have all been renovated and are beautiful but there are parts of the hotel that need updating. There was no entertainment in the hotel bar and There’s also no gym. The hotels location is fantastic being next to the Praca and a stones throw from the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay The little extras could move this hotel up to the next level ##### Catherine Stayed 10 nights in Aug 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Villa Doris Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Villa-Doris-Suites.h3792325.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Vilamoura - Algarve by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Vilamoura-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Vilamoura-Algarve.h905327.Hotel-Information) > > [Alfagar Alto da Colina](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Alfagar-Alto-Da-Colina.h5448294.Hotel-Information) > > [Conrad Algarve](https://www.expedia.ca/Almancil-Hotels-Conrad-Algarve.h4258018.Hotel-Information) > > [Agua Hotels Vila Branca](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Agua-Hotels-Vila-Branca.h1107570.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Vilamoura](https://www.expedia.ca/Vilamoura-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Vilamoura.h4508056.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinhal da Marina Apartamentos Turisticos](https://www.expedia.ca/Quarteira-Hotels-Pinhal-Da-Marina-Apartamentos-Turisticos.h1748196.Hotel-Information) > > [Dom Jose Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Loule-Hotels-Dom-Jose-Beach-Hotel.h1205390.Hotel-Information) > > [Vilalara Grand Hotel Algarve](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagoa-Hotels-Vilalara-Grand-Hotel-Algarve.h63446.Hotel-Information) > > [AP Eva Senses](https://www.expedia.ca/Faro-Hotels-AP-Eva-Senses.h2828.Hotel-Information) > > [Cerro Mar Atlantico & Cerro Mar Garden](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Cerro-Mar-Atlantico-Cerro-Mar-Garden.h1107680.Hotel-Information) > > [Boavista Golf & Spa - Bela Colina Holidays](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Boavista-Golf-Spa-Bela-Colina-Village.h4241224.Hotel-Information) > > [The Salty Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-The-Salty-Lodge.h45973486.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Sol e Mar - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Hotel-Sol-E-Mar.h1515517.Hotel-Information) > > [Charming Residence & Guest House Dom Manuel I (Adults only)](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Dom-Manuel-I.h1065477.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Indigo Albufeira by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Hotel-Indigo-Albufeira.h2336640.Hotel-Information) > > [Lagosmar Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Lagosmar-Hotel.h1133595.Hotel-Information) > > [Carvi Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Carvi-Beach-Hotel.h1124559.Hotel-Information) > > [Belmar Spa & Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Belmar-Spa-Beach-Resort.h4460904.Hotel-Information) > > [Vila Vita Parc ](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagoa-Hotels-Vila-Vita-Parc.h54345.Hotel-Information) > > [Lagos Atlantic Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Lagos-Atlantic-Hotel.h34890619.Hotel-Information) > > [Alfagar Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Alfagar-Village.h1456107.Hotel-Information) > > [Victoria Golf Resort and Spa Managed by Accor](https://www.expedia.ca/Loule-Hotels-Victoria-Golf-Resort-And-Spa-Managed-By-Accor.h2215702.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Vilamoura As Cascatas Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Vilamoura-Hotels-Hilton-Vilamoura-As-Cascatas-Golf-Resort-Spa.h1671486.Hotel-Information) > > [Grande Real Santa Eulalia Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Grande-Real-Santa-Eulalia-Resort.h1080516.Hotel-Information) > > [Vilar Do Golf](https://www.expedia.ca/Loule-Hotels-Vilar-Do-Golf.h9252065.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Mãe Lagos](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Casa-Mae-Lagos.h17350325.Hotel-Information) > > [3HB Faro](https://www.expedia.ca/Faro-Hotels-3HB-Collection-Faro.h58913383.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Faro](https://www.expedia.ca/Faro-Hotels-Hotel-Faro-Beach-Club.h1079803.Hotel-Information)
