Fantastic location in the heart of Vale de Lobo. THe public areas are very nice and look to have been refurbished recently, the rooms though are very tired and in need of upgrading. The showers are over bath and very old, no hot water at busy times in an evening. The curtains didn't close properly so the room was very light early in the morning, the door to the balcony didn't clock as the mechanism has seized, not worked for a very long time. Air con was ok. Breakfast was very good - wide choice and nice location overlooking pool and sea. Nice poolside bar, loungers etc but the pool was dirty with bits floating in the water which we and several other guests complained about, it appeared to be from growth on the grout and tiles on the pool side. They did get someone in on our last night which improved it but I've never seen a pool anywhere in this poor condition.

The hotel is very good with great location being next to bars and restaurants. We had a room on the 5th floor which although very clean and good facilities with safe in the room was in need of refurbishment : the bathroom was small with poor extraction and the shower was poor and difficult to get a decent flow of water unless cold! Also the air con was quite noisy if left on overnight. The included transfers to the golf course was excellent

Breakfast was a real treat with maximum choice including creamy porridge. Hotel were very good and even treated us to drinks in a cocktail hour. Only issue was asked to provide a fixed sum credit to use which I cannot understand why they simply use a credit card swipe on register like any other hotels. Doing a credit entails more transactions and possibly credit back which takes time and possibly exchange costs. I explained to a manager that this works against them and we used outside facilities rather than get involved. Other than this thoroughly recommend your golf travel and Dona Felipe.

Hotel dated but still ok. Ideally placed for playing San Lorenzo or the Vale de Lobo courses and right next to Montys for a great night out. San Lorenzo is a fantastic course offering a great challenge for golfers of all abilities. Several holes require length off the tee, however some of the longer holes have narrow fairway targets or doglegs which means it's not necessarily a driver off the tee at the par 5's. Water comes into play on a number of holes and 18 in particular has you driving down the left of a small lake to leave yourself a wedge across more water to the green. Well worth a visit for the hole alone.<div><br></div><div><div><b>My Caddy Tip - <i>"</i></b><i>Accuracy off the tee is a better strategy than distance."</i></div><div><br></div><div><b>Stableford Score</b> - 34<br></div><div><br></div><div><b>Handicap</b> - 12</div></div>

Definitely worth playing it twice as you learn do much from the first round. I was 6 shots better on day 2 even after beer.<div><br></div><div><b>My Caddy Tip - </b><i>"Keep your driver in the bag for most holes, you don't need it."</i></div><div><br></div><div><b>Stableford Score - </b>33 Points</div><div><br></div><div><b>Handicap</b> - 17</div>

My wife and I had a nice break at Doña Filipa for our Silver Wedding Anniversary. Hotel was lovely, although not quite as plush as we expected. The shuttle between the hotel and golf course was a bit hit and miss. Some people ended up getting taxis to the course as bus filled up very quickly. Would definitely go there again.

There are few courses in the world which offer so many holes with outstanding views as well as quality fairways and greens. Each hole has different challenges with water coming into play on many. The 18th is as tough a finishing hole as you will find. The hotel is newly refurbished with good food. The adjacent private beach is pristine and the location is ideal.<div><br></div><div><span><b>My Caddy Tip -<i> </i></b><i>"Keep clear of the water."</i></span></div><div><br></div><div><span><b>Stableford Score - </b>30 Points</span></div><div><br></div><div><b>Handicap - </b>13</div>

First few holes are good openers to settle you down, from the 6th on you know you are playing in a special place.<div><br></div><div><b>My Caddy Tip - <i>"</i></b><i>Don't expect to par every hole."</i></div><div><br></div><div><span><b>Stableford Score - </b>39 or more</span></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>Handicap -</b> 7</div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b><br></b></div>

A very nice drive down to the beach. The Hotel is fine and they looked after us very well. My favorite hole is the 17th.<div><br></div><div><b>Stableford Score</b> - 31 Points</div><div><br></div><div><b>Handicap</b> - 13</div>
