Porta da Vila Apartments - Lagos

We revisited Porta Da Vila this October for a 9 night stay and can see how much it has improved since our last visit 18 months ago. Cleanliness is now far better with a cleaner who called 6 days a week and the towels and linen were also changed regularly this time. We had one of the Garden rooms (107) which is relatively quiet and has a roof terrace […] with excellent views across the town and Meia Praia beach. There are no views from the ground floor lounge or bedroom - but the roof terrace compensates for this. Like another reviewer we had a problem with noise on Friday and Saturday nights when some young Portuguese residents returned at 4.00am with a huge amount of shouting and laughing which resulted in no sleep until they finally all got into their apartments and presumably went to sleep. Happily they only stayed for the weekend. Things to bear in mind: kitchenette facilities are basic with two rings only and very cramped. OK for a snack but not too much more. TV - a few English channels, but nowhere near as many as privately rented apartments which usually have the full range of Sky channels. Lounge has just one settee and a dining table and chairs, so you either all sit on the sofa or on an uncomfortable wooden dining chair. Just one additional lounge chair would make a lot of difference. Reception is usually unmanned although the receptionist can be contacted on her mobile if you need her and she speaks excellent English. For us the best thing is the location at the top of town within the city walls. Value wise, it is not as good as some of the apartments we've rented privately in the marina area for the same sort of cost which we've found are generally far better equipped. But on the plus side you are only 5 minutes walk from the city centre with the Porta Da Vila apartments. Read more

Wonderful hotel on the topmost hill of Lagos with a beautiful view of both the large pool and the ocean. Nice large room with everything you need. Staff may not be there 24 hours a day, but they are very friendly and helpfull.
