Deterioration of Dom Joao II Beach Club apartments. (Now part of Dom Joao II Hotel)
Reviewed 6 march, 2023
The Dom Joao Beach Club apartments have deteriorated and have many maintenance issues including the lift, lights, locks, toilets and smell from drains. The cleaning is very poor, not done properly and the towels are in a very worn and damaged state. The curtains at the window are ripped and dirty. The kitchen equipment is no longer complete, items are missing and not matching. The apartments are now being used by the Dom Joao II hotel instead of Vacation Club members. The Dom Joao is a 4 star hotel but the apartments are certainly not 4 star. I have stayed in an apartment in the Dom Joao II Beach Club for some years and have never had such a bad experience as this.

the villas were top! clean, spacious, well equipped. The breakfast at the hotel was amazing and the staff is polite, professional and attentive. This was a family vacation that was amazing. 50 meters from the beach!

Old buildings, less m2 than promised. 25 euro extra per day for a dog! Power error 6 times in 5 days. Bad smelling airco. Inside pool with cold water. 30 euro for a buffet per person. Will not return here! Beds so hard, that we both nearly have a hernia....

Damp and smelly
Reviewed 15 january, 2023
The first villa we paid for was dark with a really poor seating area do we asked to move. We paid for an upgrade to a bigger villa which looked better. Unfortunately within a few hours it was obvious that it was damp, the heating didn’t work and the sofa was damp, smelly, and really needed to be thrown out. The bed in the double room was like sleeping on a wooden board so we moved into the room with 2 singles which was at least comfier. Luckily by now it is just the .2 of us in a5 person villa, as the double bed wasn’t comfortable enough got sleep and the sofa bed I think a dog would have turned it’s nose up. I took a list of maintenance problems to reception as without the heating on it really wasn’t habitable due to the damp. It was December that we stayed however being British and used to the cold we have never used the heat previously. Even in December we normally have the air conditioning on, but in here it felt like the damp was chilling you to the bone. The staff were lovely and they did fix the issues that could be fixed. The bath was peeling, the shower flooded the bathroom, the fridge wasn’t very cold, the patio door was broken, the worst thing was the awful awful smell from the sofa bed, even after they’d covered it when I complained. I was offered a 3rd villa but by this point we were sick of moving and I had no confidence this would be any better after already trying villa 52 and 63. The location is wonderful and I’ve stayed at the hotel many times. Unfortunately I made the Mistake of thinking staying at the villas would be a treat. The cost was far higher and what we stayed in was a rundown apartment at best not a villa. Would not recommend these to anyone. Save your money and stay somewhere else.

Fantastic stay. Pedro was so obliging and he really listened to us and gave us the perfect accomodation for our needs as a large family group with children. Much appreciated. Breakfast was excellent with patient and friendly staff. Everything ran smoothly. Villas were spacious and confortable. Extras such as the coffee machine really helped. Cleaning staff were accomodating and proffesional. It was so enjoyable that we will definitely return. The 3 bed villa perfectly fit two families with kids. 3 bathrooms in the villa helped. The indoor pool was great during our winter stay as well as such close proximity to the beach and a 10min walk to town.
