Hotel Apartamento Do Golfe (ex Vilamoura Golf Hotel)  

Set on the Vilamoura side of Quarteira, about 3 km from the city centre. Close to Vilamoura Tennis Center, the Cerro da Vila ruins and Rocha Baixinha Beach—easy days by the sand and nights in town.

A resort made up of several buildings with a relaxed, apartment-style vibe. Studios come with kitchenettes, fridge, microwave and private balcony or terrace; apartments add a living and dining area, oven, toaster and coffee/tea maker. Rooms include air conditioning, heating and hairdryer, and some amenities (like safes) carry a small fee.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool or the children's pool, lounge in the garden and terrace, or park onsite. 24-hour reception, on-site laundry, bar, restaurant and a café keep things easy. Billiards and a games room are available for an extra charge—perfect for low-key evenings after beach time.

Wireless internet access is available for a fee. Rooms also include a telephone for straightforward connectivity.

An on-site restaurant serves meals, a bar sets a relaxed evening tone, and the hotel café is handy for snacks and light bites.
