Hotel Apartamento do Golfe 

We stayed for five nights in a standard apartment. There was a separate bedroom, bathroom and open plan kitchenette/lounge area. The bathroom came with a walk in shower, bidet, double sink, hairdryer, body wash and hand soap. The lounge area had a tv, aircon, wardrobe, and sofa bed. The bedroom had two twin beds pushed together, tv, aircon, wardrobe, sliding doors to the balcony (with two outdoor seats and a table). The kitchenette had a microwave with a grill function, a hob (we didn't use these), kettle, toaster, fridge, various kitchen utensils. Washing up liquid/sponges were not provided. I found the apartment overall to be very comfortable and relaxing to be in. The housekeeping was very good, the staff came in discreetly when we were out to make up the beds and freshen towels. We spent a few hours relaxing by the poolside in the sun, a treat for Brits in November. We didn't bother with the breakfast on site, instead choosing to have toast in the apartment or getting breakfast out at the marina. We did have a portion of chips on the first night as we'd arrived late after the Spar had closed and neither of us wanted a heavy meal after a day's travel. The hotel food menu is quite limited for any dietary requirements. The hotel is located in a quiet area north of the marina. Bolt/ubers are in good supply. There's also a shuttlebus that goes to and from the marina twice a day, although we didn't end up using this. Buses do exist in the Algarve, but they aren't regular and there's no information at any of the bus stops, so you'd be reliant on the terrible Vamus app. The ride apps work out reasonably if there's two or more of you. However, if you are keen walkers, the marina is a pleasant and safe walk on a major cycle route, which includes outdoor gym equipment. I'd recommend a trip into Quarteria as well as Vilamoura marina, there's some great restaurants there. Closest to the hotel is the Spar and United Kitchens of India. Spar has most essentials, although the Intermarche closer to the marina is better. United Kitchens of India is a top rate Indian restaurant which I'd highly recommend, it caters well for various dietary requirements.
