West Cliffs Golf Course

DO NOT PREPAY!!The staff were rude and dismissive, and the only reason they even deal with you is for your money. They also charged us for premium club rentals, and gave us the lowest level of clubs, found out when we golfed Praia D'el Ray a couple days later. Unfortunately the weather was really bad while we were there, so the course was saturated and in poor condition (footprints on the greens and standing water on ever fairway) with constant rain and thunder showers. The greens and fairways were so wet that the water would spray off the ball any time it was moving. The only way they let you cancel a prebooked reservation is if the course is closed, asked when they would close and they said never just wait it out. We made it to hole 13 in 6hrs, and they still wanted us to wait it out.

Extremely disappointing experience. The villa was dirty, the service was uncaring, and staff were dismissive and, at times, deceptive. From arrival it was clear that guest care was not a priority. Despite this being marketed as a five-star experience, there was a lengthy walk to the accommodation with no offer of assistance or transport, which is well below what you would expect at this level. The villa itself was as poor as the service — tired, unclean, and not properly checked. Items were definitely missing from the villa, yet this was simply denied by the hotel with no meaningful investigation, which was both frustrating and upsetting. The hotel trades heavily on the reputation of the golf course, but the villa experience does not live up to that name. Reviews for the villas should be clearly separated, as they are not comparable to the main facilities. The only redeeming feature was the restaurant, which was genuinely good — unfortunately, it was the sole positive in an otherwise very poor stay.

Monday 8 november we did a 18 holes which was great. Weather was very good. After the golf we are in the restaurant. Spent 34 euro’s on a bottel of wine that was 5 euro in the supermarkt. Margin is fine but this is rediculous. I felt robbed

Really enjoyed playing west cliffs. The front nine is defo harder than the back nine but what a challenging course it is! The wind is definitely the third player in the game. Course condition is good and the grass is just velvet to the irons. Views are Stunning. Overall, a pleasure to play there! The team was very welcoming and helpful. We felt very welcomed from the moment we arrived. Clubhouse felt spacious and modern. V thankful for the experience! We will be back!

0 Stars!! Deeply Disappointing Stay at West Cliffs Golf Resort – Sadly Put Us Off Portugal We booked West Cliffs Golf Resort for what was meant to be our first ever trip to Portugal — a peaceful, relaxing getaway in what looked like a luxury setting. Sadly, this experience has completely changed how we feel about visiting the country again. The villa we were given looked and felt abandoned. Bare walls, half-hanging curtains, and a damp, musty smell as soon as we walked in. It was cold, lifeless, and nothing like what we expected. The whole place just felt neglected and forgotten. The worst part, though, was the attitude of the staff. The reception team clearly do not want to be there. They were rude, uninterested, and dismissive from the moment we approached them —even upon check in. No one offered to check the villa or even apologise. It was shocking and honestly uncomfortable to deal with. As this was our first experience of Portugal, it’s heartbreaking to say that it’s put us off coming back. The complete lack of friendliness or care made it hard to enjoy the rest of our holiday. The location itself is beautiful, but the resort is so poorly run that it completely ruins it. Misleading, overpriced, and nothing close to five-star. Avoid.
