Hilton Vilamoura As Cascatas Golf Resort & Spa - Vilamoura

This was a nice hotel. The buffet breakfast (included for me) was very good (included full English, plus typical German buffet, plus a cook to make egg things). The pool was cold (much too cold I thought). WiFi was a very, very expensive 17 Euros per 24 hours. That's just crazy.

This hotel is by far one of the best 5* hotels that I have stayed in while travelling. Everything about the hotel was perfect. The staff was AMAZING, and very helpful/ friendly. The rooms where fabulous, and very clean. The spa was to die for. I couldn't have asked for a better holiday. If there was a higher star bracket for hotels...I would happily […] rate this hotel more. I will defiantly return again, and recommend this hotel to all. Read more

stayed there before when it first opened and if anything I think it has improved. Very well managed hotel

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We stayed for 4 nights from 16th March this year - the day after we arrived the weather was poor - it rained all day and so we took advantage of the spa and spent a very pleasant couple of hours using the pools, sauna's, shower experiences etc in the social area of the spa - all in all a very relaxing day. We spent a fabulous day at the pool the next […] day in lovely sunshine which again was very well laid out and serviced etc but I can imagine that it gets pretty crowded during the peak months. Breakfast on all days was fantastic - we asked for freshly ground americano coffees which we were provided with in minutes, the variety and quality of food was top notch. A huge thanks to Nelson and 'super' Mario at the Rudi bar in the hotel - two of the most friendly, knowledgeable and pleasant guys we could hope to meet, who made us feel at home there. We had a very late flight arriving and Nelson kindly re-opened the bar to accommodate us & over the course of our stay helped us with recommendations for restaurants, activities, places to see etc. Also to all the staff at reception & breakfast who were always helpful & friendly. Had a fantastic few days here, would recommend to anyone. Read more

Excellent place to stay just outside the busiest part of Vilamoura. Perfect location if your going to play golf, would highly recommend this hotel.

This hotel was brill! I would go again tomorrow and very clean and service was 2nd to none! This hotel is across the rd from pinhal golf course which is a great course! The breakfast was a highlight of the day with great staff!

Genuine Expedia guest review

Fantastic hotel. All staff were friendly and helpful with excellent service - helped with organising bike hire and horse riding in local area. Room was modern, well equipped and immaculately clean. Large balcony overlooking the pool and a great bathroom. The pools, gym and leisure areas were all well equipped and very clean. Breakfast was good with […] hot food cooked to order. Pinhal golf course just over the road was very good with well maintained greens and a lovely clubhouse. Didn't use the spa as we didn't have time but the covered outdoor pool was lovely, even in January. The hotel and town are very quiet out of season but perfect for a relaxing break. We had good weather and enjoyed exploring the local area by bike. The marina/town centre is about 5-10 minutes drive away and there is a regular shuttle service from the hotel. Although the service finishes quite early in the evening, a taxi from town is 5 euros. A few recommendations - yellowfish transfers were very good value and reliable. Riding in Sao Bras (leaflet in hotel lobby) was fantastic - about 30 mins away but they will collect from hotel, great horses, beautiful countryside and very reasonable prices. Also, bike hire arranged by hotel (can't remember the name) - delivered and collected bikes from hotel and reasonably priced. Overall a top class hotel and a very enjoyable short break. Can't fault a thing and already planning to return for a longer break. Highly recommended! Read more

We enjoyed our Christmas and New year stay at the hotel, the staff were very efficient helpful and friendly, maid service very good and kept your room cleaned daily.Daily breakfast was excellent and a varied choice for most nationalities.Evening meal was buffet and a good variety to suit all tastes. The seperate restaurant food was poor and expensive, […] most times had skeleton staff who were rushed off their feet, Christmas Eve meal and Christmas Day buffet was not very good and was expensive per couple at 99 Euro's each and certainly not value for money,no atmosphere and poor entertainment. New Year's Eve was even more expensive per person the entertainment was a little better,food was poor except for the deserts which were very good. If we did go back to this hotel for the festive season i would definately not pay out for special occasions and choose to go to the local town for entertainment. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

After reading all the positive reviews and really looking forward to an autumn break in the sun, this hotel was such a disappointment. Pool area was filthy, (over fill dustbins, rubbish around the pools, in the streams and garden paths: disregarded straws, shoe laces and even panty-hose!) freezing cold pools, most of the pools were roped off and out […] of bounds to guests. The pools which were open became a no-go zone after 6pm and the indoor pool after 8pm. Long wait in a queue each morning for breakfast, boring choice in a dull dining room. Luke-warm shower water every day during our stay (cost cutting exercise?). The Rubi Bar and dining room the only two restaurants open for an evening meal in the hotel, seven euros for a small milkshake! Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

We used the hotel as a base for visiting potential wedding venues along the Algarve coast and it was great for that purpose. Not really a hotel I would go to for a week's holiday as you need to drive everywhere or get a shuttle bus. Also the pool area would struggle to accommodate everyone in peak season (it was very busy when we were there late October!), […] but I imagine the majority of guests are out playing golf most of the time! Overall, a lovely, clean and comfortable hotel. Recommended. Read more

Great service, very comfortable public areas and a great apartment. Pricey in restaurant and bar but nice atmosphere. 15 minutes walk from Vilamoura. Overall I would recommend if you have plenty of spending money!!

We staying at the end of September 2012. The holiday is excellent and very conveniently located for the coast and golf courses. I have marked a 4 for the condition/upkeep of the otel as a lot of the fountains etc within the grounds were not working. It had an end of season feel about the place.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Spent 8 wonderful days in the Hilton Vilamoura and I could not recommend it more highly. The staff were very friendly, the hotel was very clean and comfortable and the amenities were fantastic. We never had an issue getting a sunbed at the main pool, contrary to some reviews I've read.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Hotel was lovely and would easily rate it a 5 star. We went the last week of the school summer holidays and it was busy. Biggest down fall was getting a sun-bed in the morning and we hated having to get up early to wait for one. Very comfy sunbeds and staff very friendly and helpful. Would go again to the hotel. The marine was exceptional and spoilt […] for choice with restaurants each evening. Read more

Beautiful hotel. Spotlessly clean, staff very friendly. Stayed in a King Deluxe room. Beautiful bathroom! My 9 year old girl loved the pools, the kids club area is well kept, breakfast was lovely every morning, shuttle to the Marina and Beach every day/evening, had a fantastic holiday there and would definatley return.

Genuine Expedia guest review

very nice hotel , better than i expected !!! service around the pool a tad slow at times ,but it was the last two weeks in august and the hotel was at 100 % capacity. very helpfull at front desk , quite a long walk (a good 20 min adult walk) to the marina , they run a free bus from the hotel every night but it stops around 21.30 , a cab back is only […] around 4 euros !!! just not worth the effort on holiday. i would stay there again , my only other remark would be to keep an eye on your room / credit spending if your on a tight budget. we were ok but i did see another lady that got a bit of a shock !!

Genuine Expedia guest review

Our overall experience of the hotel was a great one! The staff were attentive and friendly, and the rooms comfortable and clean. The pools were beautiful, although busy, and I would recommend getting a sunbed before breakfast by the main pool - or else you won't get one! The only real negative was the price of food and drinks at the hotel - four euros […] fifty for a hot chocolate! However it was easy to get to the marina for food instead (a half hour walk or 3 euros by taxi). Read more

Hotel is geared towards families, for couples don't expect peace and quiet as kids have access to everywhere. The staff are friendly and provide excellent service, however there is no free wi-fi and the 24hr charge is very expensive. Room service is reasonable, and there are supermarkets 10 minutes walk away. Overall, enjoyable stay but not the usual […] standard of a Hilton hotel. Read more

Nice hotel. A bit noisy by the pool as there were lots of kids with floating beach toys etc. And it is listed as a dog friendly hotel but this was very difficult at check in. Apart from this the rooms were very nice, terraces spacious. Recommended to have a view away from the pool if you don't want to be waken up early.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We were there on a spa break for a weekend and the spa treatments and service in the spa were very good. It is a very family friendly hotel and we don't have children and to be honest don't like them to dominate our vacation time. But as it was the school summer holidays we did expect lots of children around the place and they certainly were. But one […] thing about taking a spa break in July is that we had the lovely spa hydro facilties totally to ourselves one morning which was bliss. The separate pool for adults only was a great idea too as you could relax, swim and read in peace without being splashed or disturbed by little ones. And to be honest the queuing and sun bed run for the main pool area at 8:30am sharp by families was rather off putting. We ate in the poolside restaurant for lunch a couple of times and also had drinks in Rubi bar - very friendly and welcoming service throughout the hotel. Good transfer time from the airport too and the hotel organised transfers were professional and friendly. Would suggest they extend the shuttle return times to from the Marina in the evenings as we would have paid for that to run longer as stood in the taxi rank queue for over 30 minutes one night. Would return particularly out of school holidays and good value for money. Read more

Excellent hotel in fantastic grounds, about 25 mins walk to marina. Hotel shuttle bus seats 12 to beach and marina in the evening, you may have to wait like we did. Taxi 3.90 euros. Still queues for sunbeds from 9.00am and towels left on. No beds by 10.30am so would'nt like to go when the kids break up.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I only stayed for the weekend, just in search of some sunshine, and it was perfect. The staff was friendly and helpful, the grounds were lovely and having the easy shuttle access to the beach was fantastic. The only negative was the early hour at which the shuttle stopped running to the marina. Not terribly helpful for anyone who just wanted to go in […] for dinner and come back at a reasonable hour.

Have stayed here before only minor faults could be location as in you need to get a cab or courtesy bus anywhere outside the resort. Also charging each day for wireless is a bit mean

This was our 2nd stay a the Hilton and it matched our expectations. It was just as good as the 1st stay. A very friendly hotel that seems to attract nice people. Facilities are great and well maintained. Will not hesitate to stay again.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We loved everything about the hotel itself. Staff are friendy and helpful. The rooms are clean and well planned with comfortable beds, good sized balcony. A privacy curtain covers the glass walled, well appointed bathroom. We needn't have brought a hair dryer as the one supplied was powerful enough for us (which was a pleasant surprise) . It was also […] a nice change to have decent lighting and mirrors, which are a must for female travellers!!! Breakfast was a great start to the day with a wonderful selection of hot and cold food and fruit. Bottled water is provided at breakfast but costs about five euros by the pool. Food and drink is not cheap but this is to be accepted. The hotel operates a shuttle bus to the private beach during the day Nd the Marina in the evening. This is very handy as there is not much else nearby. We did not use the Spa so cannot comment on that. Read more

The rooms here are the big plus as for a Hilton its actual surroundings are a bit suburban. But the rooms are very large and the housekeeping is excellent. A 20 minute walk to the Marina is fine although we were warned not to walk back late at night but during day it is very pleasant surroundings through an open space fitness trail - taxis are very […] cheap less than 5 euros. Don't eat at the marina but go to restaurants behind the marina buildings - cheaper and nicer - would recommend the Cataplanca which is small, great service and excellent home cooked food - extremely good value. Would also endorse using Yellowfish for transfers to airport for 25 Euro one way - were on time and very efficient. Read more

I would recommend this hotel both for families and couples as there is an adults only pool, so you can have peace and quiet if you want it.

Our late March 2012 visit benefitted greatly from a superb coincidental spell of good weather but even had this not been the case, in my view the facilities at this hotel were excellent and I must especially praise the staff in every area for their friendly nature, helpfulness and courtesy. Reception (Patricia) and all breakfast staff really good. I […] also stupidly left some credit crads and UK cash in the room safe and the staff who found them, contacted me and then brought them to the airport for me in time for me to catch the flight back. That was exceptional whether it is charged for or not! My wife enjoyed the Spa which she said was "the best ever" and good value for money. One tiny crticism possibly beyond the hotel's immediate control. Our room was on the golf course side and without fail every night over five nights at around midnight to 0100 am a dog started barking in the distance and this went on for half an hour at a time! Doubtless a guard dog doing what it was trained for but nevertheless - annoying! Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel was very good but the charges for internet and bar are very high , so this lets the hotel down. I agree that the hotel needs to address these, particuarly the internet as there is no free WIFI and even MacDonalds has that so something needs to be done as in the long term this will just upset guests and be counter productive. The hotel also […] charges guest 15 Euros ( As at March 2012) to enter the Spa but this is free if there are treatments. The treatments are at or near central London prices so this may come as a shock so its helpful that guests know this before hand. Guests should also be aware that the hotel is correctly stated as in the middle of a housing area and not near the Marina. This is partly compensated by the bus service but I can imagine this gets very busy in the season so may be a problem for some. The attitude of the staff is however quite incredible and pretty near faultless which makes for a great stay. Read more

From arrival to departure the whole experience was really impressive.Staff professional but friendly and helpful. Breakfast was amazing. Also had dinner in the restaurant one night and a lighter meal in the bar once - both were excellent. The spa was so relaxing. I wonder if i get more fussy as i get older - i cant find a single fault here.
