it is not easy to see how much I was charged but the cost of the holiday versus the cost of the hotel as per Booking.com suggests large mark up. Also when I booked weeks before the trip I was told only suites available. The hotel appeared to be half empty. The food in bar was awful and the beer overpriced compared to Quatiera

Hi for golf only at Vila sol ok Our room in the chalet was in darkness all the time we had to pull sun beds from the pool area to our front door! We paid 45euro each for the Christmas dinner which they have on Christmas Eve and again this was very disappointing, we expected to be served a three course meal for that price but no, same as other evening meals, serve yourself and not very hot at that! Breakfasts were just ok the guy making the ommellettes took about 5 minutes for each one nothing to do with a queue just he was useless Staff were quite good and bar staff helpful Certainly nowhere near a five star hotel and I have stayed in hotels all over the world! Overall we quite enjoyed the stay because of the weather Unfortunately I was not aware of how far away the other golf courses were, nearly an hours drive each day! In fact we gave up the last venue Silves and changed to play again the Vila sol course on the Monday horrendous... we were of course a two ball sqeezed in beyeeen four balls especially the group in front despite my protestations looking for lost ball for about 10 minutes refused to let us through. Fortunately our day at Gramacjo was great as we met and played with a lovely couple from Germany Alto was ok but the rough was so long difficult to find a ball just off fairway However all transfers were spot on.

I would like to thank Nick Bishop at Your Golf Travel for organising my latest coaching trip to Vila Sol in Portugal. From putting the package together initially through to the completion of the trip, Nick and his team were helpful, professional and adaptable as changes to the itinerary became necessary. We stayed at the Vila Sol resort for 3 nights and as well as using their academy to do the coaching sessions we also played the 9 hole course on the Friday and the 18 hole championship course on the Monday. Sandwiched between these were 18 hole rounds at the beautiful Vale Do Lobo Royal and the Qunita Do Logo North course. The organisation of the trip was first class, all the different transfers were always on time and even when I needed some changes made they were done seamlessly. My customers were really impressed with how smoothly everything went, from when they arrived at Faro airport to when they returned there, they had to think of nothing as it had all been taken care of. Having used Vila Sol several times now for these golf coaching trips, the service they gave was also outstanding. They upgraded all the guests rooms to suites and allowed us all to have a late check out on the final day meaning that we could play the Vila Sol course, return to our rooms and shower and change before heading off to the airport, a service that really helped make the customers experience special. I would thoroughly recommend both Your Golf Travel, and in particular Nick Bishop, and the Vila Sol resort and area for a golf break, you will not be disappointed.

We were a bit disappointed as we had asked when booking if we could play all three 9's but this didn't happen we played 19-27 and 1-9 twice. As we were staying on the complex you would have thought they would have used their common sense and booked us different 18 holes any way. We have played here before on two occasions and played the same 18 holes, it would appear that they keep holes 10-18 free for members.

With this being 3 nine hole courses and during SEP/OCT/NOV their peak golfing period the course is fully booked. That being the case they do NOT have sufficient buggies to service the course. We were told that our party of 12 could not have any buggies as they were all being used and given an ultimatum either use a pull trolly or don't play at all. Half our party were pensioners and to pull a trolly round this course in 28degree heat is ridiculous. There was bedlam in the clubhouse with a number of parties all experiencing the same problem. Not the first time we have had this problem at Vila SOL. Trust me, give it a miss. VERY POOR

Vila Sol is a great test of golf off the white Tees but only players who drive the ball 250 - 300 yards should play off the back. The yellow tees give normal single figure players an opportunity to play mid and short irons to greens. The greens were in excellent condition but the fairways appear compacted and a lot of work is required to bring them back to a good condition. Many fairways were bald and muddy with little growth despite warm temperatures and reasonable rainfall. 3 great 9's however and always enjoy the challenge! John

Considering the weather it would have been helpful to get some drinks during the back 9 especially. - The kitchen closed at 6pm.

a great course , good layout, very good greens, very fast, hard to read. very well kept. we would play there again. I know its expensive to keep a good course up to scratch, but the green fees a rather high.

Range facilities are ok. Balls,basket and dispenser need attention. Practicing of the grass is good but not much grass to hit off. Greens very good.

Lots of trees to hit into. Some really tight fairways so you need to be straight off the tee. Holes 1-18 are lovely but 19-27 not so much. Great club house and range though.
