Cegonha Country Club

A relaxing holiday in a beautiful small resort in Vilamoura. A lovely apartment with a well-maintained garden, it felt like home. The pool and jacuzzi are excellent. Excellent value for money.

I stayed here while attending a wedding at Quinta Dos Netos, which was about a 10-minute drive from the hotel. However, the hotel itself is quite isolated—there are no local restaurants or shops nearby. The only convenience store is a BP down the road that offers snacks. The hotel staff were friendly and welcoming. The property consists of apartments, which was a bit of a surprise for me. I would say this hotel is best suited for families or couples who prefer self-catering, as all the necessary amenities for that were available. The apartment was basic and could have been cleaner, although daily cleaning was offered. I agree with other reviews that the hotel feels somewhat soulless. Breakfast was very basic and limited—I have never seen such a small selection at a hotel. The pool area looked nice from afar, but upon closer inspection, it wasn’t clean. There were dead flies in the jacuzzi and around the poolside, which was off-putting. On the positive side, the hotel has a nice little lake, a children’s playground, tennis court, and a gym on site. Personally, I would not stay here again due to the location and the overall basic nature of the hotel.

Whether or not you enjoy your stay at this place is entirely dependent on two things: 1. Whether or not it you need to or want to sleep much during your stay. 2. luck of the draw. The draw being who you get out into rooms next to and how considerate they are. You will hear everything they do and say, the walls are so thin your neighbours may as well be in the room with you. So even if you are a heavy sleeper, you are toast. Especially if your neighbour with a booming voice decides to call his pal at 5am while taking a shower. As far as everything else goes, the decor is pretty dated and tired and is in need of a refurb. I’m not sure what decade they received their 4 star rating but I’d bet it began with a 19. In summary. I wouldn’t bother booking this place, there are far better options for the same price nearer to Vilamoura or Albufeira.

Great Place to Stay Great quiet place with a nice pool. Friendly reception staff and good facilities. It's a nice distance from Villamoura and easy to find. Definitely recommend.

Large convenient apartment, beautiful and quite place and good available parking

Outstanding service and staff This may sound funny, but I give this place five stars based solely on the quality of their staff. The facilities and infrastructure are in need of updating, and staying there during the off-season during a cool temperature snap didn’t help… but the overall guest experience is excellent. If this staff were representing a brand new resort, they would never have an opening. Worth the stay just to experience what quality service really means.
