Interpass Vau Hotel Apartamentos

super clean and in a good location. we also managed to book the Benagil cave tour with the hotel so that was one less stress. the breakfast was amazing. really good value and lots of things on offer. if you are eating in then the kitchen had everything, including pans. the beach was also ten mins away which is amazing. very pretty beach too and didn’t have too many people when we went. it’s a bit of a walk away from the centre of portimao but that wasn’t an issue for us - Ubers are super cheap in Portugal.

didn’t really get to use the jacuzzi or the pool as they were busy and weren’t big enough to accommodate more than a handful of people.

The hotel is very cozy, well-maintained, has excellent silent location just in a few min from Praia do Vau and a few min from food stores and restaurants. The staff is very friendly and pleasant, the outdoor pool is clean and has a charming area, the indoor one with jacuzzi we didn’t check (the hats are required and if you don’t have one you may buy at the reception), the breakfasts are one of the best I have ever had in hotels (the food is very delicious and every day there are some small changes, therefore I didn’t get bored), moreover you may include dinners for an additional price or simply cook at your room which has a well-equipped kitchen and all the kitchenware you may need. One more thing that I liked is that the hotel provides guests with robes, which are very useful for the swimming pools and just for staying comfortable in the rooms.

We were a day late due to a cancelled flight but reception staff were easy to contact and stayed in touch with us throughout- Brilliant 24hr reception staff (they also helped us with an extra pillow and Landry service). The bar man Francisco was obviously a very experienced bar man and made delicious cocktails. Would highly recommended the pink gin fizz. The breakfast staff were very attentive and kept all the food fresh and well stocked. The property was clean and the kitchen meant we could have lunch on the balcony after a morning on the beach. Lastly the room was very comfortable - lovely big bed and temp could be controlled in the room so we slept well every night.

Very generous room area with large terraces (we had two). Very well maintained pool. Exceptional cleanliness . Very good breakfast. The kitchenette is equipped with everything you need. Free street parking

An iron would have been very useful, even one that can be borrowed from the reception, not necessarily in every room. The bathroom, although generous in size, has a narrow tub and because of this the curtain always sticks to you when you shower. There is an inexpensive solution to fix the problem. The room, although generous in size, does not really have storage spaces for clothes.

The breakfast and the dinner buffet were outstandig with superbe quality and very tasty food thanks to the chef Anna. Our junior suite was very spacious and functional. The balcony had a nice panaramic see view.

The building starts to become a little bit old. The rooms might need a little bit of refurbishing and all the towels were changed every day, which was not necessary. It is not eco-friendly.

Great breakfast, tipical english breakfast + a lot of delicious fruit + sweet pastry + cereal + cheese and ham and so on. I only missed vegetables. Super friendly staff in reception and restaurant made our stay great. Price for such service was extremely good. We liked that we had our kitchen which was well equipped. Pools were nice and clean. In the end of May, the outdoor pool was still quite cold (maybe 20-21 °C). The temperature of the indoor pool was perfect. We only had to buy swimming caps for 4 EUR.

The hotel is ca 400 m away from the Vau Beach. But the Vau Beach is beautiful and calmer than the Rocha Beach. So we liked it.

The staff was really helpful and friendly. The breakfast was really good. With a lot of options and nice food. The pool space was great and calm.

The apartment could have more utilities ( we did not have something to clean the wet plates or open wines for example). The price per night was high

Room was large and comfortable, a little dated but very clean. Nice bar area, lovely pool and outside spaces and the staff were terrific.

Breakfast was just okay. Scrambled eggs cold and rubbery and need to serve better quality coffee. Air conditioner in room was poor, had to sleep with window open

The apartment was spotless and really well equipped. Decent sized fridge, kettle, pod espresso machine and coffee percolator plus hob and mini dishwasher. The pods and filter papers available in the local Spar. The balcony was a really good size and very safe. The pool area was very clean and quiet. Breakfast was great - cereals, juices, pastries and breads, healthy options plus cooked breakfast. The staff members were very pleasant and very helpful. The beach was close by, and was gorgeous. Towels for the pool were provided separate to the white towels and were changed every three days.

The kids bunk beds were not very comfortable and they were very small. The little room they were in was really a corridor to the main door of the apartment. This was the only fault with the apartment, and it wasn't anything major.

excellent breakfast, close proximity to a wonderful beach, friendly staff, very high standards of cleanliness. easy access to both alvor and portimao.

not much at all
