Nau Salgados Palm Village - All Inclusive

Hôtel digne d’un 3 étoiles pas plus. Pas de spa, ni salle de sport intérieur, ni piscine intérieur (sachant que les piscines extérieures ne sont pas accessible(sales)). Pas de peignoirs, ni chaussons. Des soucis en arrivant résolu en 2heures pas d électricité ni de douche en pommeau. Gobelets en plastique pour les cocktails comme pour la table, même la tasse de café au buffet du petit déjeuner est un gobelet en carton. L’hôtel a du potentiel car l’extérieur est magnifique et plutôt bien situé c’est vraiment dommage.

The hotel is 4 star but it has the bare minimum. There are no slippers or robe, and there’s only hand soap available. We didn’t have hot water. We left our phone chargers and a set of earrings and when we call the next day to go get them, the reception said nothing was found which means housekeeping by probably kept them. The food is buffet which is not hygienic, I saw a customer picking up pizza with their hands from the buffet. There are 3 restaurants on site which the reception said to book online. We tried but two of them gave an error page. Called reception to book it for us, when we got there the restaurant was closed. The terraces are the best thing of the rooms. Overall it was not value for money as it’s not q cheap hotel and the experience as disappointing.

We stopped at Salagardos Palm Village Apar**ents in early March, as part of a group of 12 ,the weather was the worst I’ve experienced on a golf trip which didn’t help matters, the complex itself is dated with no amenities close by,the rooms are spacious and ok but very dark we looked out on to the pool area which wasn’t very appealing,the staff at the hotel were very helpful, the food in the restaurant is plentiful and decent but it is served on cold plates, you have to put the plates in the microwave to warm them up before putting your food on and this solved the problem, the bar on site is like a works canteen and the drinks are of poor quality but as they say you get what you pay for. If you’re on a budget this is the resort for you, but personally I’d rather pay a bit more, we played golf at Alamos , Margado and Salgardos the later course been the best in my opinion but like I said at the beginning the weather was poor and made the golf every difficult in 25 to 30 mph wind and heavy rain showers.I much prefer Vilamoura as a base and to visit different restaurants on an evening and visit a couple of bars afterwards and the golf courses are close at hand including the Old Course which is always special.

We stayed here for eleven nights with four adults and a one year old, which in hindsight was a bit too long. This is going to be a long review. There are lots of things to like and dislike and I will split this review up in sections. - Accommodation: clean, very spacious, and with lots of storage space. Nice bathrooms with walk-in drench showers that provide instant hot water. Very large balcony, although quite empty, just a table and four chairs. Could use a deck chair or two. The rooms were also very brown. Maybe they could add a few potted plants to bring some green into the mix, or paint some green palm leaves on some walls. There is a large parking garage underneath each building which is quite handy if you decide to rent a car, as you don't have to leave it out in the sun. - Sleep quality: the lobby bar plays unnecessarily loud music every night (karaoke or bands) until 11:30pm or so, and if you are a light sleeper you can forget about falling asleep before that time. We were on the far end of block 7 and we could still hear every word of the songs. They should tone it down a notch for people (among whom many children) who want to sleep. We've also gotten some problems with some drunk tourists in the room above us who would play loud music from their balcony at 4am two nights in a row. We were not aware how to reach the reception from our room phone as this is not detailed anywhere (dial 99, apparently) so we had to get dressed and physically go to the reception to complain about this on the second night. This problem was then resolved by the security, but whether these guests just left or were thrown out, I cannot say. - Check-in/Check-out: we arrived in the morning and we could not check-in until 4pm. We kind of expected this and were prepared for this but it was still a bit inconvenient with a baby in tow. There is a locked luggage room where you can leave baggage. Before check-in and after check-out. We also opted to pay extra to have a late check-out at 4pm (20 euro/hour), however we were dismayed to notice that our keycards had already been deactivated at 11am on our last day. The reception quickly fixed this but their documentation seemed disorganized. - Pools: there are three pool areas, each with three or four round pools of various depths. There's a ~30cm deep pool for infants in each area. The pools use black tiles, so the pools heat up faster from the sun, but it nonetheless makes them look quite uninviting. The main pools by the restaurants and bar was always very loud and busy. If you want a more quiet experience I'd suggest sitting at one of the other pool areas. Early May is probably still the off-season so there were plenty of sun loungers, even late in the afternoon. The sun umbrellas however looked unmaintained and quite a few of them were straight up broken (wouldn't stay up, or upright). This was not a huge problem as there are still lots and lots of palm trees to provide shade. What the pool areas do lack is

Me and the wife came here for 4 days and overall wasn’t impressed. The rooms were spacious with massive balcony space and room service was great with cleaning the room and stocking up cold water for you. The bars and restaurants served everything in plastic cups which is understandable being you are surrounded by pools. The mixed drinks are a gamble, you either get a well mixed drink or dumping it out and getting a different one. The food here is awful and would rather eat at a McDonald’s every night but, unfortunately there isn’t any other accommodations within walking distance to this resort which leaves you paying for an Uber or taxi to the nearest town.

Went on a golf trip with friends, I ended up getting food poisoning from one of the restaurant's and having to go to hospital. Staff in formed but not even a manager called to see if I was ok. The plates for the food were always cold, so after you put your food on a plate it went cold very quick. Rooms were comfortable but having to ask to get fresh towels on a regular basis. No hand rails in shower's, one of my friends slipped and hurt his wrist and couldn't play golf most of the week. Trying to get a drink from the bar when busy was an over 20 min wait. As you can probably tell we won't be back unfortunately because golf courses are great

A group of 8 of us travelled for an all inclusive golf break. On a positive note the appar**ents were comfortable, spacious and the staff kept us well stocked with fresh towels and bottled water. As everyone else points out, the food ranged from luke warm to stone cold, surely given that so many people complain, the management and chefs would address?. The real let down was the bar, understaffed and at some points a 20 minute queue formed only to then be served a beer in a 200ml plastic cup...the end result being that people would order 4 at a time each and further slow down the whole experience. We ended up going to albufeira and villamoura as the holiday went on to avoid the resort. Will definitely go back to Portugal as we love the courses but will avoid this resort and revert to a vilamoura hotel and enjoy the local restaurants, more expensive but worth it.

I stayed with a group of golfers. The location is great as is the all inclusive accommodation. While not luxurious, the serviced apar**ents are spacious, clean and well maintained. Staff are excellent throughout the resort. The food is good for the very reasonable price and, while it could become monotonous after a few days and sometimes the hot food was not quite hot enough, there was a good selection and plenty of it. The pool areas were clean and there were plenty of sun beds. The bar was spacious with a large outdoor area and there was also a pool bar. The beach is a 10 minute walk but check directions as you access through another resort and it can be confusing at first. This is a good three star property and I would recommend it.

This is a fantastic resort with great amenities and friendly service. Food was good and plenty of choice. Pity only one bar open which was always busy. Pool areas clean and tidy but unsure what would be like in mid summer. Overall would definitely come back
