The Ampalius is a great hotel for food, service and facilities and is in an ideal location for the beach, bars, restaurants and the marina, not to mention the golf!

The staff in this hotel are most helpful, polite and communicate effectively with all nationalities - hotel staff in the UK should visit this hotel for training!

Lovely hotel set right by the beach. Reasonable size outdoor pool and small outdoor children's pool, too cold too use in November. Indoor pool (must wear bathing cap) with Jacuzzi and sauna - did not use these.

Good size bar with great service. Small coffee shop, open until 1am.

Entertainment every night, but not of the highest quality.

Fantastic breakfast from 6.30 to 10.30, catered for every type of diet - fruit, pastries, cereal, full English and more.

Hotel is extremely clean, any spillages wiped up immediately.

Room was a reasonable size, good size bathroom. Maid service every day.

Couple of small shops, hairdresser & beautician on site. Internet available.

Buffet style dinner 20-25 Euros each, did not try this, but a good selection available.

Staff were friendly and helpful.

Third time on the Algarve in the last year. 1st time at Vilamoura and it won't be the last. Really can't recommend it enough. Hotel was excellent. Clean & tidy but a little 1970's. Other reviews have said about the indoor pool and having to wear a cap, well the answer is don't use it. Your on hoilday Go Outside and use the beach!
Breakfast is excellent with plenty of choices and quantity
Seaview is recommended. Cleaners every day in a week long stay
Perfect for couples of any age but possibly not the best for young children or teenagers as resort was fairly quiet
Weather was Fantastic Again (3rd time running)
Will definately revisit and would use this hotel again

We are just back from 3 days here.Lovely hotel, decor a bit dated but it is very clean. Friendly staff- hilarious entertainment in a very tongue in cheek kinda way.Food is ok- there is plenty of it- although the usual smoking allowed anywhere can be a bit much at breakfast-time.Pool is quite cold but there is a neat indoor pool- but you must wear a swim hat!
Plenty of sunloungers and just 2 mins from beach. 5 mins max. walk into town with loads of places to eat but not much in the way of nightlife otherwise.
We would definitely come back- not for a full week but as a short break hotel it was perfect.

We stayed for two weeks and found the hotel to be perfectly placed for the beach and restaurants. We didn't use the indoor pool because of the bathing cap rule - my three daughters refused to wear them!
We had two rooms, i would recommend the seaview rooms as they are much bigger and brighter.
