Weâve been going to this hotel for years but for the first time in a very ling time, we didnât go there once in 2017. So our first time in over 12 months, we went for new year celebrations.
There has been a change of staff at reception, in the bar and in the restaurant. Apparently the bar staff had been on the fiddle for sometime and so had to go, shame really as they were really friendly and helpful, a lot better than the new people. As for reception, again unfriendly and unhelpful. The breakfast room only has two or three original staff members who know what they are doing, the others, well they may as well not be there.
The worst part of the whole experience are the bar prices. Exorbitant, so much so our party went to the supermarket bought some bottles and we all meg in our rooms and drank there.
This is such a short sighted attitude. Hotels think they have a captive audience and therefore can charge what they like, but high worth guests will not be screwed. We are not stupid, we know how much drink costs and know what mark ups should be, so why go that extra step?
So anyone considering going to the Dona Filipa, you can purchase drink in the arrivals hall in Faro airport and there is a supermarket at the top of the road near the hotel.
Will we return there? It is a nice hotel but is getting expensive, if they continue to screw their customers, they may well find that we will vote by our feet and not go back. The Conrad which was THE most expensive hotel is now looking better value.

The hotel is situated in the Vale do Lobo resort and is mainly for golf. The staff were helpful and responsive.
The hotel has access to several golf courses and these were included in the hotel charge. There is a minibus to and from the main courses.
We had a refurbished room on the top floor and this is probably the best location. The room was large well decorated and comfortable with a view over the sea and one of the local golf courses.
Buffet breakfast was excellent and all the main requirements were available including skim milk and cooked breakfast.
There is a large car park which was not full in the week that we were there.
The restaurant was more variable with one evening where the service and the food was excellent and another when the both were less than expected from this standard of hotel. The bar snack of club sandwich was also disappointing taking 40 mins and was barely warm when delivered. The plentiful staff were chatting during this time.
Nice hotel with some drawbacks.

We had an enjoyable stay over the New Year. The room wasn't luxurious, but was spacious and clean. Excellent buffet breakfast. Friendly helpful staff. A great New Year's Eve party. An added bonus was that the outdoor pool was lovely and warm even though it was December/January. I swam several times during the week.

We have just returned from a week staying over New Year at this hotel. The staff were exceptionally friendly, welcoming and helpful. We stayed in a recently refurbished room which was spacious, comfortable and very clean and had a view over the golf course and sea. Breakfast very good. The only complaint we had was The Grill restaurant where we had to wait half an hour for our order to be taken and over another hour for our dinner to be served. This seems to be a continuing problem and not just a one off. It lets the rest of the hotel down.

What a really pleasant surprise!! We were made really welcome by all staff who went out of their way to be so friendly and professional. My wifeâs birthday was noted and we were greeted after a day of golf by a lovely cake and a bottle of fizz in our room
Breakfast and evening meal were excellent.
Spotless room with espresso coffee machine
We will return
Thanks for a great three days
