I recently stayed at Crowne Plaza Vilamoura for a few nights, and while there were some positive aspects, a few issues left me feeling underwhelmed.
To start with, I was disappointed to encounter silverfish in the bathroom on multiple occasions. This made the bathroom feel less clean and put a damper on the overall experience. Cleanliness is a basic expectation, and this was definitely below par.
Another issue was the EUR 25 deposit required per towel. While I understand the need for security, this seemed excessive, especially for a standard hotel. It felt more like a hassle than a necessity.
Finally, the queue at breakfast was quite long each morning. The food was decent, but having to wait so long just to get seated and served was frustrating, especially when trying to start the day on a good note.
Overall, while the hotel had some good points, these issues made my stay less enjoyable than I had hoped.
