Nau Salgados Palm Village - All Inclusive

We stopped at Salagardos Palm Village Apartments in early March, as part of a group of 12 ,the weather was the worst I’ve experienced on a golf trip which didn’t help matters, the complex itself is dated with no amenities close by,the rooms are spacious and ok but very dark we looked out on to the pool area which wasn’t very appealing,the staff at the hotel were very helpful, the food in the restaurant is plentiful and decent but it is served on cold plates, you have to put the plates in the microwave to warm them up before putting your food on and this solved the problem, the bar on site is like a works canteen and the drinks are of poor quality but as they say you get what you pay for. If you’re on a budget this is the resort for you, but personally I’d rather pay a bit more, we played golf at Alamos , Margado and Salgardos the later course been the best in my opinion but like I said at the beginning the weather was poor and made the golf every difficult in 25 to 30 mph wind and heavy rain showers.I much prefer Vilamoura as a base and to visit different restaurants on an evening and visit a couple of bars afterwards and the golf courses are close at hand including the Old Course which is always special.

The golf aspects of our holiday were fantastic, Golfbreaks ensured everything ran smoothly and that all pick ups were on time. The accommodation was fine, but the food was not. We did not consume any hot food once. The restaurant was exceptionally quiet, which suggests that the other guests swiftly decided to eat elsewhere after using the restaurant once. The bar staff were great but the facilities were poor. I am not sure why beer is served in a plastic cup inside of such a highly rated hotel.

We could not fault the organisation of our golf tour by Golfbreaks. Everything ran smoothly & very efficently. The accommodation was excellent, however the food was not. We did not have a hot meal once. The choice was good, but everything was tepid at best. The Sports bar was shut and the lobby bar was like a school canteen. I will admit that we had less than clement weather, so sitting outside was not an option. The staff were good and very helpful. So, in summary an good resort spoilt by the catering and the bar facilities.

We wouldn’t even rate this a one for this review as it’s a zero! On arrival about half a dozen people behind reception all looking glum including the girl who checked us in. No warm welcome. We were told we were in a refurbished room on 4th floor. If this room was refurbished I’d hate to see the ones that weren’t refurbished! On the way to our room we noticed a sun bed in the middle of a swimming pool. That was there for at least two days! Our hand soap dispenser in the bathroom had fallen off the wall and no attempt during our 5 day visit was that sorted. The shower was so dark we couldn’t even see whether it was shower gel or shampoo in the dispenser! As we had issues with the safe not working and the television the security guard accompanied the maintenance person and he was able to tell me it was shower gel. So a supposedly 4 star hotel with no shampoo! The only mirrors in the room were in the bathroom so if you wanted to use your own hair dryer there wasn’t a mirror in the any of the rooms.The room or suite as they call it was very dark and dismal and quite depressing. The old settees were so uncomfortable. Only paper cups for coffee and tea and plastic cups for all other drinks. The only time we had proper glasses was when they had a group in for a conference and the tables in the evening had glasses for wine and for water! The food was grim. Never piping hot and nearly always cold! The only bar was very rowdy at times and was the only public seating area and the toilets were outside. The golf course was good but the staff working in the Pro Shop not at all helpful or friendly. Although there was a girl working one of the days after our round who was very helpful. Carrying golf clubs the 10 minute walk to the course wasn’t good. We did ask about transport and got a no! When leaving as the luggage person didn’t start until 8 am we had to take all our luggage to the basement car park and drag it to reception! No comments from the staff when we were waiting on transport. A ‘hope you had a nice stay’ would have been good! Anyway, we won’t be back. It is never a 4 star hotel. Even outside the lift broken tiles and no lighting in the hallway and cracks on the wall in the balcony! Would definitely not recommend this place.

The food although having a good choice was cold, the serving area heaters appeared to be not working and cold bacon beans and fried egg are not very tasty this was also the case with the lunch and dinner meals there is a microwave just the one, you can use if you can figure out how to work it . there is also a scarcity of toilets being only one in each restaurant,there are 2 in some of the rooms but it can be a bit of a walk so plan your meal times carefully, this could be a good holiday improvement is needed all round, this is not just my opinion but of a party of 12

Amazing place great apartments 9 of us in 3. Food great staff great great golf all inclusive great entertainment bit ropey but ok. Went off complex most nights all in all great 4 days. Was that good going back this year roll on nxt month carful of sangria you will end up drunk
