Nau Salgados Palm Village - All Inclusive

Hotel verdient keine 3 Sterne mehr. Kein Spa, Indoor-Fitnessstudio oder Hallenbad (in dem Wissen, dass die Außenpools nicht zugänglich (dreckig) sind). Keine Bademäntel oder Hausschuhe. Probleme bei der Ankunft in 2 Stunden gelöst, kein Strom oder Duschkopf. Plastikbecher für Cocktails ebenso wie für den Tisch, selbst die Kaffeetasse am Frühstücksbuffet ist ein Pappbecher. Das Hotel hat Potenzial, denn das Äußere ist großartig und ziemlich gut gelegen, es ist eine Schande.

Das Hotel hat 4 Sterne, aber es hat das Nötigste. Es gibt keine Hausschuhe oder Bademäntel und es gibt nur Handseife. Wir hatten kein heißes Wasser. Wir ließen unsere Telefonladegeräte und ein Paar Ohrringe zurück, und als wir am nächsten Tag anriefen, um sie zu holen, sagte die Rezeption, dass nichts gefunden wurde, was bedeutet, dass der Reinigungsservice sie wahrscheinlich aufbewahrt hat. Das Essen ist ein Buffet, das nicht hygienisch ist. Ich habe gesehen, wie ein Kunde Pizza mit den Händen vom Buffet abgeholt hat. Es gibt 3 Restaurants vor Ort, die laut Rezeption online gebucht werden sollen. Wir haben es versucht, aber zwei von ihnen gaben eine Fehlerseite aus. Rief die Rezeption an, um es für uns zu buchen, als wir dort ankamen, war das Restaurant geschlossen. Die Terrassen sind das Beste an den Zimmern. Insgesamt war es kein gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, da es kein billiges Hotel ist und die Erfahrung enttäuschend ist.

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.

Best room ever had ! Free upgrade! Great food and staff very friendly! Room had hammock and two bathrooms! Very clean complex with many cupboards for storage! Had a great time here - hopefully return in the future! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend! Entertainment in the evening and a special mention to the kids club who work tirelessly every day! Our 5 year old daughter had a great time!

We have visited four times in recent years and this place has gone down hill !! 28 of us to play golf on the course and away most of the day. First we found the staff very unhelpful They wanted us to pre book meals in an all inclusive buffet We didn’t know what time we wanted to eat 24 hours in advance! When we did use the restaurant the food was cold On the last day we went to breakfast as they opened at 7am and the food was stone cold ! There was only one bar open and that had only one person serving half pints ! The que was horrendous. We went to get water from the bar for the room as we have done in previous years and they wanted us to pay €6 in an all inclusive resort They blamed the cost of water in Portugal How come the shop up the road can sell for 30cents then ???? Will not return

As an all inclusive resort the place really is terrible but I’ll start with the positives, the accommodation is absolutely fine with big spacious room all cleaned daily, there are plenty of pools with ample sun beds available. Check in is so painfully slow with only one member of staff checking in a group of 28!!!. The food is absolutely terrible on one day I was the first into breakfast and everything was cold and that is the general theme throughout, the salad bars are good as are the sweets, but please ensure that the hot food is what it’s called……hot!!!, the beer in the bars, once you’ve queued, is terrible and served in 1/2 pint plastic glasses (I understand the health and safety aspect of this around the pools) but at night time??? And finally we have been to this place as a group for 4 years and this is the first year we have had to pay for water!!! An all inclusive resort where you have to pay for water!!!!! In summary we won’t be returning!!!!!

We were a party of 28 golfers the rooms were absolutely spot on, BUT the breakfast was absolutely awful NUMBER ONE , cold every day, which in this country (Uk) you would get in trouble for ( hot food on display should be 63 c or over ) anything below and you run a risk of bacteria, evening meal was better the grill bar i personally loved , unfortunately we will not be returning as breakfast before golf is quite important

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.
