The property was located right on the beach with a beautiful walkway. Our room was adequate. We found our hallway very dark at night as there was no lights operating

Pros: Property is at an excellent location 🙂 The beach is really good. We had an excellent time this summer. The property also has multiple swimming pools both outdoor and indoor. Indoor ones are warm and also has a Jacuzzi. Hotel staff was also very helpful. We truly enjoyed our 4 nights stay at Jardim de Vau. Cons: I had booked this property through Expedia but one small concern from my end was that our room didn't have washing machine. Rest all room seem to have it. Otherwise, everything was good 👍

Highly recommended
Hotel is in an ideal location. It is quiet but there are several nice bar/restaurants within 2mins walk. Beautiful pool which is spotless clean. Pool bar is excellent with reasonable prices.The whole property is very clean, inside and out. Gorgeous beach is a few steps away with 3 bar/restaurants on or overlooking beach. About a 20 mins lovely walk along the prom with stunning views, into centre of very lively portimao.

We were upgraded to a 2 bedroom apartment which was very nice and quiet. Some room service every day was nice but not necessary. It was a bit strange that we were told that we had to buy our own dish soap to wash our dishes. Now we have a large amount left over. Otherwise it was very lovely. Beautiful pool.
