Will do when the time approaches. Lisbon is also on the list.

We are targettimg 2022. Any building / rooms better to request?

Any don't miss sights to see? We are considering April/May or Sept/mid Oct as best times to visit? Do you agree?

Hi there..we prefer ground floor but to be honest pool view or golf course are best. It's a real nice resort and we were here last in 2011 and it's still well maintained. Would recommend Sept through Oct or May. April can be cooler but still pleasant. Sights? We drove the whole coast different days. Faves include Carvoeiro, Faro, Tavira, Lagos, Alvor. This resort may offer day trips in small mini Van's. Cool tours also does some nice day trips and you really see more if your time is limited.

I think I saw more than one timeshare in Portugal with "Four Seasons" in the name, but none of those have anything to do with the Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts chain, correct? Just a similar name?

Yes that's correct. This resort has no affiliation.

Hi again... I looked up the Hilton Villamoura...looks very nice and refurbished! Here the units are spacious. I know there is an ongoing refurbishing and updating. In all honesty I find everything in the unit just fine. Washer, dryer , dishwasher, patios, balcony...we love it here. It's right next to the old village and Pinhal golf. P

Drove by Hilton today and it's very close to the Dom Pedro Pinhal golf course. Very big and looks new on the outside. Didn't go in. It's in the old village section of Villamoura and there are nearby restaurants as well.
