The Village – Praia D’El Rey Golf & Beach Resort

Modern after renovation with full facilities. Plenty of space

Very comfortable

Very expensive the restaurant

We were upgraded to a larger apartment so there was loads (possibly too much) space - 4 beds and 4 baths for 5 of us. Pool was large and pool area was well structured. It’s quite a large resort but we were well situated on the far end, overlooking fields which was nice.

Furnishings were sparse and a little dated - bit of a 90s IKEA vibe. Not really a problem but could have been beautiful with a little more thought/ investment. Other smaller places we stayed in on the same trip felt more relaxing due to better overall design.

The clubhouse.. our waiter Pedro was fantastic!!

The resort is very secluded and only one restaurant outside of the resort.. no close grocery store nearby. Although we were early the receptionist said our room wasn’t ready but would be ready in about an hour.. we came back 2 hrs later and were told she didn’t promise us that and we would have to come back after 4.. When we got into our room we were greeted by a mop and bucket and the room smelled of mildew. We tried to air it out but it stinks.. No bags in the garbage.. no paper towels.. no Kleenex. We will NOT be recommending this place..
