September 2025 - enjoyed our stay, very very peaceful, staff warm and welcoming, the half board meal selection was very limited, there was a choice of two starters, three mains and three desserts. Most of the food was absolutely lovely but sometimes you just wanted something different and fish or a bowl of pasta just wasn't it? Be warned chips is crisps not fries! My husband's face when he received a tuna steak in a bowl covered in crisps when he thought he was having chips was a picture!
The apartment and room service was very good, our views in our premium apartment were very nice.
Now the biggy, (the elephant in the room) that god damn hill..... It's horrendous, especially if you're not fit, have any health conditions or in some cases, non of the above! It's horrendous, especially when it's hot which it was for us.
The best thing to do is leave Vitors, turn left, turn left again walk towards the main road, and turn left again. The road is fast, loud and very busy but the views over the harbour and Ferraguddo are beautiful. You can walk all the way down into Ferraguddo market square and walk back the same way. We got really fit doing this walk twice a day.
Will we go back to Vitors, I think we might ☺️ Ferraguddo fishing village is old & absolutely beautiful ❤️

We've just returned (Wednesday) from an eight day stay via a Jet2 B&B package in a one bedroomed apartment.
The location, facilities, staff, service and food was excellent and the staff were all very helpful and friendly and went out of their way to make our stay even more enjoyable.
We stayed on a Bed & Breakfast basis, and the breakfast was excellent each morning and on the two occasions we ate in the restaurant, the food again was excellent 👌
Highly recommended whether as a couple or family.

Lots of "Pros" but quite a few "cons". Firstly the staff are really helpful and the rooms are clean. We went in October 25, the resort was quiet with very few kids (woo hoo). The apartment had a good sized bedroom, lounge/kitchenette, bathroom and balcony. The kitchen is poorly equipped with just a two ring hob, a toaster and a microwave from the Ark. No mini oven or grille. Beds are rock hard and pretty uncomfortable. Also we could hear most conversations from next door when in the bedroom.
The pool area is really chilled. No loud music or kids club. Nice bar and seating area, it's more expensive than the local bars, although still reasonable. The pools (2+kids) are really cold. The main pool looks lovely and is a nice place to relax, but not a comfortable swim.
It's a short but steep walk to the local bars and restaurants. For food shopping, we would recommend an Uber to Lidl. It cost less than 4 euros each way.
We took river taxi to Portimao for 10 euros return p/p. It's supposed to be great for shopping. However we must have gone to the wrong areas as it all seemed quite grim. Another couple we met called it 'Porti-Slough".
Overall we had a good time and enjoyed it here, but would we come back... No, probably not.

We had a nice stay at Viator Village overall. The reception staff were very welcoming and helpful – we arrived late on the first night, and they kindly kept food and snacks aside for us, which we really appreciated. The place was relatively clean and comfortable, and the atmosphere was relaxed.
The only downside was our experience with one of the bar staff members. We asked if we could sit at one of the empty tables by the windows during dinner (our stay included dinner), but the bartender told us those tables were for “bar only” guests. Unfortunately, no one sat at those tables for the entire evening, so it would have been nice if there was a little more flexibility instead of such a firm “no.”
Aside from that, it was a positive experience, and we enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic staff, rooms,maintenance and wonderful restaurant. Pool looked great but we didn't use it as we are not 'pool people' 🤣
It's convenient to have a car for shopping,traveling around groceries etc. If you are planning to stay in Ferragudo, Continente for groceries is a short Uber ride.
The Ferragudo strip is a 10 min walk down hill to many restaurants. If you are not inclined to walk back uphill, Uber is around €5.
