Top 25 Luxury Hotels in Portugal


During the last week, the leading hotel review website, “Trip Advisor” published their lists of the 25 top luxury hotels in various countries under the title “Trip Advisor Travellers’ Choice 2013”. 

It is with great pride that the Dunas Douradas Beach Club is listed among Top 25 Luxury Hotels in Portugal. Of the 25 luxury hotels listed for Portugal, there are only six in the Algarve, with the Dunas Douradas Beach Club being the highest ranking of them. We are the only resort listed in the Almancil / Quinta do Lago / Vale do Lobo area. 
The Dunas Douradas Beach Club has received 69 reviews from clients, 58 excellent, 10 very good and 1 satisfactory, giving a ranking of nº 2 of all hotels in the area. 
Nowadays, the power of the internet is tremendous. Nearly all of our new bookings are derived, directly or indirectly, through this medium, with our website www.ddbc.pt at the centre of attention. The last two months has seen a dramatic increase in “clicks” on our site with most coming from traditional markets, but with a high level of interest coming from Germany and France, as well as the British, Irish and Norwegians.
At Dunas Douradas Beach Club the great reason for success is a combination of the unbeatable location and exceptional quality of the apartments and villas, but clients also give us great reviews because of the sympathetic welcome and efficient services that are provided. 
We are very proud and delighted to be given this very special accolade. We would like to thank all of our guests and travellers for such a great honour.

Almoço em homenagem à D. Fernanda Coelho Vidal

A Directora Geral do Dunas Douradas Beach Club, Sra. D. Evy Ougendal,  organizou um almoço no dia 1 de Fevereiro, em homenagem à D. Fernanda Coelho Vidal que, após quase 20 anos de trabalho e dedicação à esta empresa, reformou-se no final do ano de 2012.

O almoço foi realizado no Restaurante Monte da Eira em Loulé, onde estiveram presentes muitos colegas de trabalho que quiseram assim, conviver uma vez mais com a D. Fernanda e desejar-lhe as maiores felicidades nesta nova etapa da sua vida.
O discurso proferido pela D. Evy foi o "ponto alto" da almoço, no qual não faltaram flores, uma singela prenda oferecida pela D. Evy e pelo Sr. Per Vibe Amundsen, de um modelo de uma "embarcação Viking" e, até uma sessão de fotografias improvisada.
A D. Fernanda trabalhou no Departamento de limpezas por alguns anos até receber a promoção para a posição de Chefe da Lavandaria. Nos últimos três anos, era responsável pelo controle e distribuição de roupa no aldeamento. Sempre foi uma pessoa muito dedicada, responsável e considerada pelo colegas e pela gerência.
Queremos deixar aqui os votos de felicidades e saúde para esta nova fase de sua vida.
