Salgados Beach Villas

We have had many holidays at the Vidama resort also our son got married here in 2018 the resort was fantastic also the wedding was faultless We stayed in the villas each time we came So after covid we came back for a family holiday to find that the villas are now a separate business to the Vidamar Hotel Consequently you cannot use any of the facilities like you could before e.g. The beautiful swimming pools ( one is heated) the lovely poolside cafe/bar the sun loungers etc etc I was not informed of these changes so it was a big disappointment I asked if they would let us use the facilities as we had our 3 grandchildren with us and they wanted to go in the pool and meet other children But it was a definite NO even though we had spent thousands here on holidays and a wedding with 100 guests Not much of an apology or any sympathy with us The villas are still very nice although basic but it's clear to see there are big cut backs The villa gets cleaned only once in a week (used to be every day) The gardens and hedges are overgrown and unkept The block paths are all lifting and are very dangerous We had a shelf of glasses fall down in the villa with glass shattering on my husbands arm Fortunately he was OK We enjoyed our family holiday but we will not be coming back to Salgados Beach Villas There are much nicer hotels/apartments in the same area So be aware when you book!

We stayed in Salgados for a week in a 2 bedroom villa. We were attending a family wedding close to this area so was an ideal base. We arrived at the villas around lunchtime and was told our villa would be ready at 2pm. We were able to leave our cases in the reception and went a walk along the beach. There was a €300 deposit on checking in which was returned on our last day. The area around the villas felt secure as there is 24hr security with gates and key card entry. The villa was huge with plenty of space for 4 adults. There was underground parking for each villa with keycard access. The living area in the villa was large and open plan with modern decor. There was an echo downstairs due to the large area and high ceilings. This also meant that we could hear neighbours walking around and closing doors especially at night. The villa had a large dining table which seated 6. The patio doors should have opened fully out to the pool area but ours were broken and did not open completely. The pool area had 4 sun loungers and a dining table with 6 chairs. The pool was bigger than it appeared in photos. The sun was in the pool area until around 6pm each day. Pool is not heated but was warm enough for us. The kitchen was well equipped and had washing machine, dishwasher, toaster, coffee machine and microwave. There was plenty of utensils and a small kitchen pack was supplied with a dishwasher tablet, washing machine capsule and cleaning sponge and cloth. Extra supplies could be bought from reception. There was also an iron, ironing board and clothes airer available. Both bedrooms had large comfortable beds and had air conditioning which worked brilliantly. Only one large pillow for each person which was very soft. Bathrooms were large and clean but not very well lit. Both bedrooms had large wardrobe space. The main bedroom had large balcony overlooking the pool area but did not have any seating to enjoy this area. There was not many sockets in the bedroom and had to unplug bedside lamps to use those sockets. Overall, we loved our stay at Salgados beach villas and would stay again. There were minor negative points but this did not take anything away from the fabulous week we had in Salgados.

I've stayed for one week in a 2 Bedroom Villa with a private Pool in June / July. The Villa is huge, there's plenty of space, you have private Parking in the Garage with direct Access to the Villa - Ground Floor with fully equipped kitchen (also with a toaster, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine) but with no so much storage space, a small bathroom, a big dining / living room and the terrace with four deck chairs, a table with 6 chairs and the Pool. In the Photos the Pool looked a little bit small, so I was really surprised to see that it's actually quite big! The second Floor had one bedroom with two Twinbeds, TV, a small closed and an In-Suite Bathroom with two sinks and a shower + a bigger Bedroom with a Doublebed, TV, small closed with safe, In-Suite Bathroom with two sinks and a bathtub. There are AC's in the Bedrooms but because it was so hot, it did not cool down the bigger Bedroom at all. There's free WiFi in the whole Villa with a really good connection. Because the Villa is so big, there's an echo and you'll even hear the neighbors if they're loud at night. The Villas are in a Residence, so you'll only get in the Residence after passing the Security and with the KeyCard of the Villa (or Check-in in, of course). It was a really nice stay and the Pool is a huge PLUS. Normally (in NOT-Corona-Times) you'll be able to have Breakfast and Dinner in the Hotel Vidamar and even use their facilities, but because of Corona, you can only have Take Away from one of the Restaurants of the Hotel. Depending on where your Villa is, you'll walk about 10 minutes to the Beach (you'll have to exit the Residence and take the Passage between the Hotel Dunas and Vidamar). It was a really lovely stay and I'm sure you'll love it too.
