“Loved Lagos but not Vila Mos”

Vila Mos

Aug 8, 2007

We have just returned from a 7 night stay in Vila Mos. We had a two bedroomed apt. for 4 adults and one baby. The apt was a good size and the beds were extremely comfortable.
The pool was small for the number of people using it and there were never enough beds or umbrellas so we had to go to the beach daily as we needed shade for the baby. The location of our apt was very unsuitable as we had a 14month old baby and had to carry buggy etc up ten steps each time we went in or out of apt. We were very poorly serviced by taxis in and out to town and mostly had to wait for 15 to 40 mins for a taxi to take us in and about 30 mins to get back. The kitchen was very poorly equiped with a kettle that did not turn itself off and no microwave or decent sized glasses or toaster. Every couple of days the bottle bank was emptied at 6am which would wake the dead not to mind a baby! Most times we had to go looking for someone to serve us in the bar for a drink while waoting for the taxi. The short cut to the beach was a 'dirt track'. The shower in the 2nd bathroom was the smallest I have ever seen and an average sized adult could not move in it.. The staff were very friendly and Lagos is a lovely place for a holiday. Nice restaurants and nice atmosphere for a family holiday.

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — comfortable beds and lots of space in the apt
    • Disliked — lack of beds and umbrellas at pool, bottle bank collection at 6am

“Vila Mos Not 4*”

Vila Mos

Apr 10, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

Stayed at Vila Mos first week in April. Location is fine with access to both town and beach. On the down side pool was freezing, apartments were poorly kitted out and in particular kitchen was very poor - no microwave, no kettle no toaster. We were given a toaster and kettle by reception upon complaining but these were very poor quality and did not have auto turn off.

Staff in bar struggled to work till and on one occassion we had to wait 10 mins for change.On the plus side beds are very comfortable, and apartments are of a good size. The previous week i stayed at Jardim da Maia Praia with a gruop of hgolfers an the accomodation was far superior. Vila Mos is at best 3* in comparison to Jardim da Maia Praia.

3/3 found this review helpful

The apartment and staff were excellent. THe gardens, facilities and everything were A1. The only fault of the apartment was the fridge was in the same room as the bed and was rather noisey. We just unplugged thefridge during the night when it was cooler anyway :)
The location is a liitle far from town but near an excellent beach and the price was amazing.

  • This TripAdvisor Member:

    • Tips/Secrets: — Turn off the fridge at night

“Vila Mos - a piece of paradise”

Vila Mos

Jul 31, 2006
23/23 found this review helpful

We spent a week in Lagos in July and were lucky enough to hear of Vila Mos from friends who had holidayed in the area earlier in the year. Vila Mos is a four star Aparthotel with a very exclusive atmosphere but is combined with a friendly and totally relaxing ambience. Staff were so accomodating and genuinely interested in ensuring our holiday was all that it should be. There is some construction going on around you but all seem to be multi-million euro villas so villa-spotting from our terrace was a very pleasant occupation and was in no way intrusive. The views over the Algarve coastline are spectacular and we were only a few minutes from the beautiful beach of Porto de Mos - lots of activities on the beach and a lovely beach bar for that lunchtime beer or freshly squeezed orange juice. Lagos is only a five minute drive away and it's a lovely walled, historic, genuine Portuguese town with plenty of shops, restaurants etc. The new Marina is a joy and has bars and restaurants where you can sit and admire the fabulous yachts etc. All in all a great holiday for all age groups - a car would be advisable unless you want to stay put and use taxis for your nightly visit to the Lagos restaurants (100s to chose from !) or if you just can't move dinner in the Vila Mos restaurant is a great alternative. Will definitely be back !

    • Disliked — Car necessary or taxi to Lagos (ony five minutes)
