Colina Village

Spencer Weedon-Hedges

This is our 2nd time staying at Colina Village the apartments are very spacious and have everything you need some of the furniture is a bit tatty. The pool is great and never a shortage of sun beds. The staff are very helpful especially the bartender who works days and is from Napol (didn’t catch his name) he made my son who is on the Autism spectrum very welcome and was very kind to him this encouraged my son to attend the bar on his own for soft drinks and ice creams etc something he has never done before. Would like to thank him for making my son feel confident. Would highly recommend Colina Village and advise to use the shuttle bus to go to the shops and beach, as the hotel itself is not really close to anything.

We just returned from a truly memorable holiday at Colina Village and can't recommend it enough! From start to finish, our experience was fantastic, largely thanks to the incredibly friendly and helpful staff. The restaurant and bar staff consistently went above and beyond, always greeting us with smiles and ensuring we had everything we needed. Their attentiveness truly enhanced every meal and evening drink. But what truly made our trip unforgettable was the incredible Elsa! Her energy is infectious. She led fantastic bingo sessions that were a riot, got us moving with her engaging yoga classes. Elsa's enthusiasm really made the resort feel vibrant and kept us entertained. Overall, it was a holiday filled with great memories, largely due to the wonderful atmosphere created by the exceptionally friendly team. We're already looking forward to our next visit!

This was such a gem to find. The staff are all excellent, very friendly and eager to please. The Boss deserves a pat on the back for having such an amazing team behind him. The location is quiet, but if you have mobility issues, you'd be stuck, or would need transport. I can't wait to go back again!

A charming collection of villas that reflect the price you pay. My partner found a great deal for here so we decided to book. Our overall sentiment is that Colina Village is a very good budget option to visit the Algarve although done expect the Ritz. The apartments are very spacious with good utilities although they are very outdated. Most utilities and furniture are in severe need of an update or regular maintenance and better cleaning. Our AC and boiler packed in (thankfully on our last night). The pool area could do with a massive renovation as big tiles in the pool were missing and the ladders out felt like they could snap on your own weight. The sun loungers are extremely uncomfortable and found ourselves in the lacking pool most of the time. The location is very good. A 20 minute walk to Cavroeiro that boasts some amazing restaurants and some beautiful scenery with tours of local caves on the water. Takes around 4-5 mins in a Uber/Taxi which the reception can arrange for you. They also run a free mini bus service with return into town 3 times a day but unfortunately it isn’t very punctual with time. The restaurant is nothing special food wise but like other parts of Colina Village it could do with a serious update. The bar I couldn’t really fault, the prices of alcohol reflected what we found in the local area. Most staff we dealt with were very polite and helpful and was only a handful that let them down. We stayed at the end of April where a weather event caused a multi nation outage. We initially weren’t too fussed about this as we had stocked up on food and water the day we arrived. We inquired as to when the power was expected to return as we did not have any signal or power for around 4 hours at this point and had no idea what caused it or if it was a regular occurrence. We were told that a Russian cyber attack had knocked out a large part of the European power grid and they were not sure when it would return. We obviously had no way of confirming what the reception staff told us and naturally took his word for it. We were also informed that a dinner service would be available for guests at the restaurant due to the inconvenience. This was untrue. We arrived at the restaurant at 6:30pm sharp to a closed restaurant and bar. We observed several staff members taking water, food and other provisions into personal bags and even cars. In a nutshell it is perfect placed in a picturesque part of the Algarve only an hour away from Faro airport and really not far from a very beautiful town. We did feel it was very family oriented. The walls are very thin so hopefully you’d be lucky to have quiet neighbours. Colina village does have a certain charm but don’t think we will be returning unfortunately.

We had problems with the AC but got swapped into another apartment in the end where AC was better. Rooms were clean and comfy We had a kettle! Pool was good Not too far from town
