Verdelago Resort

Verdelago is a great 5-star resort in the Algarve, away from tourists and tourist traps. It is a vast resort with many things to do. However, potential guests should be aware it is not fully-open. The resort is under construction even though you would not really notice it. They have done a fabulous and mindful job in protected guests from this. It is a new resort and they are taking guests whilst still working on the other parts. There is also a possibility your stay may encounter some snags. Hot water may run out, or a certain bathroom may not be working 100%. But the staff is the most attentive I have seen in Europe. They are professional, kind, responsive and ever-so accommodating to anything you may need. They are being trained well and that is what sets this place apart. Currently, as of this review date, they are 2 pools available and a beach. The Beach Bar is still being completed (days away I am told) and will be a great addition to those wanting to hang out on the beautiful beach. Every area of this resort is super-clean (it is new!). The food is delicious. The prices are in-line with what you would expect for a 5-star resort but the quality is definitely there. We observed a very active kids club as well. The resort is also super pet friendly. Such a great thing to so if you like pets. Enough parking for everyone, electric car charging for free, free bikes to hop on and off throughout the resort, and very secure resort. Staff are 100% 5-star.
