We cannot recommend VidaMar Algarve highly enough — it was truly everything we had ever dreamed of for our wedding. From the moment I first walked into the venue in 2023, I knew it was the one, and seeing it come to life on our wedding day in August 2025 was just magical. The wedding area is completely separate from the rest of the hotel, giving us our own private space, and even the children had so much room to run around safely and freely — it made the day feel intimate and relaxed for everyone.
The food was absolutely incredible. We chose the BBQ buffet option, and every guest, from our youngest at 4 to the adults, raved about how delicious it was. Everything was perfectly catered and thoughtfully planned, making every meal a joy.
George at the venue was an absolute star. He was approachable, attentive, and went out of his way to make both me and my husband feel completely at ease. His support, combined with the beauty of the venue, allowed us to truly enjoy every moment and soak in the day.
VidaMar Algarve gave us a wedding that was seamless, breathtaking, and unforgettable — it was more than we could have hoped for, and we will cherish those memories forever.

Everything is amazing here. My only negative points are the lack of natural orange juice for breakfast - not to the standard of a 5 star hotel. And also that to get scrambled eggs, one had to go to the omelette queue which was always long and took around 10 minutes.
The rooms are are big and comfortable; the direct accesses to the beach is very convenient; the main pool is huge and always enough sun beds for guests. Had a very relaxing family time and definitely plan to return next year.

Excellent resort, right at the beach. The staff were all friendly and helpful.
The pool area is generous and clean with 2 poolside bars that make delicious sangria. The rooms are spacious with a large sized balcony.
We loved our stay here.

really nice and beautiful resort. Good service, great pool area and access to a great beach. Those looking for quiet nights, should note, that the hotel hosts a lot of parties, weddings, etc. which cause noise until late at night. but overall I recommend.

This is not a 5-star hotel. Location is good if you’re looking for something close to the beach, however there are no restaurants close by so you’ll definitely need a car to get to anything worthwhile. We stayed in a Club-room and it was an okay room. It had a nice view of the resort, the bathroom however, isn’t very well planed so you wont be able to get ready at the same time. The hotel does not have irons, they only offer an ironing service. The maids are friendly and clean well but for our 7-night stay they left things in our room three times and took one of our key-cards to the room with them twice. The rest of the staff are not friendly or service minded, only one man working in the Mar Club was able to meet 5-star service. We had lunch one day at the Sunset-restaurant and waited 45 minutes for our food only to be asked what we ordered after that. We decided to not have lunch there again. The breakfast was okay, not much to complain over except again the staff. Once you have gotten your coffee, no one asks if you’ll like more and we were only informed on the last day we could get anything other than brewed coffee. On our last full day we went to the reception to confirm our late checkout that we asked for when we booked and again when we checked in only to be informed we would be changed €50 for every hour we “over stayed”. We decided to leave by the normal checkout time because we felt uncomfortable even though we had confirmed late checkout prior to this. Not once were we asked how our stay was.
I could go on for a while…if you’re a family looking for a beachfront resort this is probably for you. I wouldn’t recommend it to any couple or anyone looking for 5-star service.
