Pool

SPA, the gym, Sauna. The SPA massage was excellent which was really relaxing. The sauna facilities are also well equipped and the indoor swimming pool are very clean and tranquility as you can use by appointment and adult only.
Staff are friendly and helpful.
Our room had a very big balcony with sun beds facing to the main gardenw where we we saw beautiful mornings and evenings sky every day!
The breakfast buffet has a quiet range of food and especially the fruits are so fresh and juicy. We tried the dinner buffet once the it was also very delicious.
Just a few minutes to the marina where many restaurants around. We enjoyed the beach walk every day and visited many fabulous restaurants and bars.
The beach is on its doorstep as well. Fantastic location!
We have stayed this hotel 5 times and are sure we’ll be back soon.

Perfect VILAMOURA holiday in the superb hotel

We have just returned from a week at this hotel with our 13 month old daughter. The grounds are beautiful, so much nature, and well maintained. We ate in all of the restaurants and the food and service are to a high standard. It is in a great location being only a few minutes walk from the marina but still quiet and away from the hustle and bustle. We enjoyed having the choice of chlorine and salt water pool. Nadia (director of guest relations) and her team work hard to ensure guests enjoy their stay and leave feeling satisfied. All of the staff are pleasant and attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and already can’t wait to return! Thank you Domes Lake for lovely family memories.

Lovely family holiday

I had the privilege of staying at three different properties (2 Marriott, 1 Hilton) in the Algarve during June 2024 which is one of the peak season months with 97%+ occupancy rates.  I would rank my stay at the Domes Lake Algarve at the bottom of my list for various reasons.  

At a high level my rating of 3 is due to the following reasons:
- Lack of complimentary upgrades as a Marriott Platinum member.  The room you book is the room you will get so don't expect to receive any complimentary upgrade especially during peak season which was 97%+ occupancy rate at the Domes Lake Algarve
- No late checkout.  I tried many times to secure a late checkout of 2pm but it was denied (normal checkout is 12pm)
- Guests smoking on the room balcony.  I did not realize that guests could smoke at the hotel when there were many signs that stated no smoking.  I raised the issue with the front desk but nothing was done to accommodate me into a new room. 
- Water leaking from my bathroom sink which was fixed within 1 hour.  
- The free kids playground needs a bit of renovation as its kept in an area of the hotel that is not welcoming for any kid unless you want to pay for the kids club.  
- Sun beds taken by the same guests all day even when not occupied.

I chose not to rate the Domes Algarve Lake lower than a 3 for the following reasons:
- As a Marriott Platinum member we were given free daily breakfast and they had many hot and cold dishes.  The egg station prepares any omelets of your choice of toppings.  You will always leave the breakfast buffet fully satisfied.
- Love the natural sand pool if you want to stay at the hotel property without having to walk to the beach with peak temperatures at 27-29 degrees celsius.  
- Large property grounds to walk around lake and easy access to the near by ocean/beach.
- Very nice and welcoming staff.  

Although the property is large and beautiful, the various problems I had during my stay I would rank the Domes Lake Algarve at the bottom of my ranking.  I rank other properties in the Algarve such as the Pine Cliffs and Conrad higher during peak season.

Good Facilities and Breakfast but Avoid during Peak Season

This was our 8th stay at Lake Resort - i think that says it all- the best holidays ever - friendly staff - exceptionally clean - breakfast and buffet are delicious - the grounds are immaculate and only a short walk to marina or beach-  well be back

the best

Our 3rd visit, did not disappoint. Rooms are good, not particularly spacious, but well appointed. Staff throughout were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was plentiful, with many choices. Lunch on the lake was good, service friendly. Choice of food was fairly good and well presented. Since our last visit an adults only area has been added, which is a bonus. However the pool is a little strange. I heard it variously described as a large fish pond and large paddling pool by other guests. My favourite is a large fish pond. I’m sure whoever designed it thought it was brilliant but I beg to differ. It has a strange undulating design and during our stay I witnessed guests of all ages struggle to enter the pool safely and gracefully. The steps designated as the entrance have no safety rail and are not designed for easy entry. The “Food Wagon” serves only Suchi & salad bowls in addition to drinks. A very limited choice in my opinion. As it’s an adults only area why not sign post accordingly, which might stop children using the pool! Rant over, we still love this hotel and intend to be back.

Great hotel, pity about the pool!
