Primula - Wonderful view - Vilamoura Marina

Beautiful location right on the marina, so much space in the apartment. Apartment is fully equipped with every small detail taken care of. Very comfortable bed, lovely sofa, huge balcony x2

The walk to the property from the entrance is quite dark through a long corridor

This apartment was absolutely perfect — the views over the marina were incredible, and having all the bars and restaurants right on the doorstep made everything so easy. Loved the outdoor space - a large balcony with shade to sit, sip wine and watch the boats come into the marina, plus a huge terrace above with 360 degree views. We stayed towards the end of April and the weather was hot, but the pool was unfortunately a bit too cold to swim in. However, the pool facilities and gardens were beautifully maintained, so we still enjoyed relaxing by the pool — and the deli next to the complex was perfect for grabbing delicious sandwiches for a picnic by the pool. The kitchen was fully equipped with every appliance you could need. The complex has numerous entrances and lifts so it was simple to get around. We were only there for a short break so didn't need a hire car - we walked everywhere or used taxis. However, there is easy parking at the complex if you did hire a car. The host company are also able to arrange hire cars. The host who met us was lovely — very friendly and happy to let us check in early after our morning flight. We would have happily stayed much longer and can't wait to go back!

The apartment was amazing overall, so these are only small things that would have made the stay exceptional. The bed was futon‑style and very low, which made it difficult for my husband, who has mobility issues, to get in and out of. An information pack would have been really helpful — things like the nearest food shops, where the communal bins are (as guests are expected to empty them on departure), and suggestions for local activities such as boat trips or descriptions of the nearby beaches. Some cleaning supplies would have been useful to be able to clean the bird mess off the outdoor seats and table. We also had an issue with the airport transfer booked through Booking.com: the taxi dropped us at the wrong end of the complex, and the host had to come and find us, leaving us with a long walk and our suitcases. He showed us a much closer entrance and car park to be dropped off at. The host mentioned this happens often because Booking.com lists the wrong address, so I’d recommend contacting the host company directly for the exact drop‑off point before arranging transfers.

Beautiful view from this 1 bed apt, very clean and well furnished

Tremendous location with the Marina with all of its bars and restaurants directly outside! Stunning views of the marina/ocean. Excellent communication from the hosts right from booking up to arrival. Very quiet at night even when the Marina area was very busy!

Although the Villa was superb, the outside area was little tired as there was a lot of flakey paint and the sun loungers could do with cleaning. That said I would definitely stay here again, as for the cost it was excellent value for money.
