The Campus

Experiência fantástica: Um dia perfeito

Experiência negativa: Great concept, but in need of serious maintenance and investment I spent 10 days at The Campus at Quinta do Lago in October 2025. Overall, it’s an amazing setup with excellent facilities — padel, tennis, gym, pool, and running paths. The concept is fantastic, but it’s becoming noticeable that the place is no longer brand new and could use a refresh. If I were a permanent member, I’d definitely be urging management to reinvest and bring it back to true 5-star standards. The Good Dano’s Restaurant: Excellent food quality and taste. The allergy information on the menu was incredibly helpful — my son has soy and peanut allergies, and this made dining stress-free. Dano’s Staff: Super friendly and welcoming. We went there almost daily for food and drinks. Pool Area: Nice overall atmosphere and good layout. Gym Facilities: Fantastic setup with two large gym spaces (upper and lower level) offering a wide range of equipment. The Bad Gym Equipment: While the gym itself is spacious and well laid out, the standard of the machines isn’t really top-notch. The equipment feels fairly basic, and I’ve been to many gyms with much better, more modern machines. For a place of this level, the gym gear should really match the premium image. Bike Rentals: The cost of renting mountain bikes is 5-star, but the bikes themselves are in 1-star condition. The old KTM bikes are completely worn down and need replacing — even though the bike shop staff were very friendly. Gym Maintenance: Great setup, but several machines are visibly worn out. They started an initiative to improve cleanliness during my stay, which is a good sign. Pool Furniture: Every single parasol at the pool was broken — honestly, all of them! The sunbeds are old and some are broken too. For a place charging premium prices, this really needs fixing. Steam Room: Spacious, but not clean. It felt neglected and a bit unpleasant. Pool & Spa Tiles: Hundreds of missing tiles in the outdoor pool, hot/cold plunge pools, and steam room. This gives a rundown impression. Changing Rooms: In the men’s top-level showers, three weren’t working, and the general condition wasn’t great. Overall The Campus has so much potential and truly great facilities, but it’s time for a serious maintenance and refurbishment effort. With some investment, it could easily be a world-class 5-star sports and leisure destination again.

Experiência fantástica: Academia incrível com novos equipamentos e as aulas em grupos são ótimas e a piscina, sauna e outros lugares para relaxamento também. Restaurantes próximo com alimentação saudável. É realmente fantástico.

Experiência fantástica: Adult playground! Absolutely loved the week I had at the campus. I did the week of Padel group lessons and joined in the cardio tennis as well. The coaches are fun and very knowledgable being able to break down technical pointers in easy to understand instruction. Fantastic vibe around the whole place with happy staff and members. Can’t wait to be back!

Experiência fantástica: Espectacular

Experiência fantástica: Amazing facility.

Experiência fantástica: Like sports? This is the next level experience. Whether gym, pool, ice bath, tennis, or padel, everybody finds their favourite.

Experiência negativa: Booked a sports massage. Paid online. Arrived 5 mins early and checked in. Waited for 20 mins to be told there was a mistake with the booking system. Won’t be back and wouldn’t recommend!

Experiência positiva: Nice place friendly staff

Experiência fantástica: ideal place for training, i always see football squads training there, the Irish team, some of the German teams. Also nice place to have a coffee and watch the world go bye without trying to rip yu off. You can learn tennis, paddleboard & other sports. or just use the gym & relax in the pool afterwards

Experiência fantástica: Campus muy completo y restaurante con u a atención al cñiente muy buena.

Experiência fantástica: Excellent!

Experiência positiva: I got a weeks pass for 125 euro Pedro was super sweet and helpful! The staff were amazing here, at the reception! The classes were absolutely great! I did yin yoga, spin, and booty burn, all great. Spin did have the metrics on the screen though if thats off putting to you. The sauna, steam and heated outdoor pool was great. The Jacuzzi was being rebuilt when I went. Going in March it was quiet as it’s the off season. It closed everyday at 8pm around this time which is quite early imo. They provide towels and robes too which is nice. I can’t lie I was a bit surprised the gym didn’t have everything. It didn’t have a hip abductor machine. Only one stair stepper. For lat pull down and cable row it was just one machine without a seat that can be transformed into multiple ones. For leg press only the elevated one, not the beginner friendly one. It felt quite small considering the price point I thought it would have a better range of machines and more floor space for mat workouts. The female changing rooms were severally lacking amenities given the price point. The luxury gyms I go to in London for £100pm have dyson hair dryers, descent hair straighteners, nice shampoo and conditioner. The female changing rooms only had the basics, soap, one lousy hairdryer to share between everyone. The lotion dispenser always empty too. It’s definitely worth it for the experience it’s a nice vibe, but I think having better amenities in the female changing room would make it a more luxurious experience.

Experiência positiva: Excellent Tennis & Padel club in Quinta do Lago with coaching, gym, swimming pool, football pitches, cycling & eateries.

Experiência negativa: Instalações top, é pena o staff nao estar ao nível deste maravilhoso ginásio

Experiência fantástica: Top notch, comfortable facility. Sometimes you simply require upscale decadence. Great location to watch sporting events. Fantastic courts. Spotless public areas. Friendly staff. Michelle the GM of the facility replied to my query within 20 minutes, late in the day. Professionalism befitting the elite facilities and brand. First rate experience so far.

Experiência positiva: Signed up for the week's pass while on holiday. The classes were great, facilities excellent, and staff friendly. The steam room and sauna were a great way to wind down and the showers hot. It's a shame that the tennis and padel facilities aren't included in the week's pass as the pay-as-you-go prices are hefty and weekly pass holders are effectively paying the highest subscription rate. However I would still recommend and would return.

Experiência positiva: Quiet good , you can find whatever you working out with ( instead of jump rope for crossfit) friendly staff. Its always cold and windy inside of gym, put your jacket on.. and be aware for mosquitoes they dont have repellents

Experiência fantástica: Alle racketsport en fitness activiteiten bij elkaar inclusief zwembad. Mooi complex!

Experiência fantástica: The best place: facilities, staff, everything.

Experiência fantástica: Impressive facilities, friendly Padel coaches and good coffee!

Experiência fantástica: Been going for a while. Top place with top people. Everything you may want to keep fit.

Experiência fantástica: Excellent facilities, Excellent staff. The swim teachers, especially Thelma, were extremely helpful. Highly recommend

Experiência fantástica: I hesitated before buying an annual membership for The Campus because it’s not cheap, but I can honestly say it’s the best decision I’ve made since moving to the Algarve. Great facilities, super helpful staff and a good crowd of regulars. Feels special every day!

Experiência fantástica: Fabulous facility. I knew Dano when he was a diver but then we spelt his name "Danno"

Experiência fantástica: Absolutely stunning training camp!!!10/10

Experiência fantástica: Great facility.

Experiência negativa: We have been visiting Quinta for many years now and have always used the Campus gym. The facilities are great with a good atmosphere. So this year I decided to take my 12 year old daughter to the gym for an ‘introduction’ as she is very keen. Having spoken to the reception at the Campus yesterday they assured me my daughter can use the gym on a day pass with me, as long as I supervise her. I told them I’ve been a PT for over 10 years so that wouldn’t be a problem. Imagine my anger when we turned up today, having extended our break a little to visit the gym and chill afterwards to be told I could go in, but she couldn’t as ‘the manager’ had informed the staff yesterday that they had reached their junior membership limit?!? I explained I only wanted a day pass, but the ‘rude’ receptionist insisted it couldn’t be done. For such a ‘professional’ facility this is ridiculous. My main problem is the email I received yesterday saying all was good and they were looking forward to us visiting them. The receptionist merely dismissed this contact. Honestly for a premium facility, that’s jokingly charges almost 50€ for a day pass, this treatment is shocking. Also, maybe a little ‘front of house’ training is required for the gym staff/recptionist. In hindsight I should have asked to speak to the manager but I was so angry and felt so let down we decided to leave. Whether I return there at any point we will have to wait and see.

Experiência negativa: The staff member on reception today is rude and unprofessional! Despite being told I could attend with my child by email, the rude staff member refused entry to us and practically made a show of it in front of other people waiting. Not a high class service for this overpriced and unprofessionally run place!

Experiência positiva: I recently joined the campus gym, and overall, it's a great facility with a few drawbacks. The gym itself is excellent, offering a really nice feel with its courts and football pitch. I absolutely love the running track and the gym, though access can be a bit tricky since it sometimes gets blocked off for athletes. I'm not sure how this affects regular members, but it's something to be aware of. The pool is a great size, and using it makes you feel like you're training in an athlete's facility. However, the downside is the staff and the price. The gym is quite pricey, and the staff have been consistently rude in my interactions with them. It’s unpleasant to deal with as soon as you step through the door. Additionally, there's no shampoo or conditioner available in the showers, so make sure to bring your own. Despite these issues, the quality of the facilities makes it a worthwhile experience, and I would still recommend it to others.

Experiência negativa: I went as a guest for the day and although the sports facilities are excellent and I was very surprised and disappointed at the lack of cleanliness of the changing rooms. There were paper towels lying strewn in the WC area and used towels in the changing area. The locker room area did not look like it had been cleaned for a few days. I didn't feel comfortable to shower there and chose to go home to shower. Not what one would expect when paying €50 euros for a workout. Please improve this aspect as would be keen to use Campus regularly

Experiência fantástica: Great Tennis being played at this great facility

Experiência fantástica: All you need !

Experiência fantástica: Probably one of the best gym resorts in Europe. Superb facilities and staff

Experiência positiva: Way too pricey for Padel…. Almost double the Vilamoura prices which are already expensive

Experiência negativa: This place is a “ no go” ! Imagine you close a full membership deal and they block you from using the areas you are paying for - in advance- for deals they make with clubs without reimbursing you! It is the definition of crooked management. It is us, the members that entertain the management actions and is time we either stop membership and asked for our money back or take legal action. I will.

Experiência fantástica: A great place to play padel. Plenty of courts and organised games and facilities are maintained to an excellent standard. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Danos is a great place for a bite to eat and drink. Highly recommend.

Experiência fantástica: Great facility. Bit pricey. Love the gym area. I wish it was a bit bigger. Many courts for tennis and Paddle. Sports bar is great. Nice food, many TV s to watch games. Only down side is sometimes they book the downstairs level gym for teams that coming for training. So you cant use it for certain hours.

Experiência positiva: Good place to sport

Experiência positiva: Tried to book a padel court on line which proved very difficult so gave up and phoned instead. I phoned and after going through a call forwarding system to the correct language and court bookings the phone was answered by someone who could not take a booking and gave me no information so I gave up and just went down to book in person. Although the lines of communication to book a court was bad the centre itself is a fantastic facility and the covered courts are excellent. The lady who took the booking at the booking point was very good but some of the other staff could do with some customer service training. I would say it's a fantastic facility but the communication and customer service side of things need more time to bed in and get better.

Experiência positiva: The croissants and croissants and coffee were delicious as we enjoyed watching and listening to the very young receive food coaching from the tennis coach. Plenty of top class facilities for all sports.

Experiência negativa: Super crowded

Experiência fantástica: My eldest son (16yrs) had a week's pass (100eur) and loved the gym and facilities.

Experiência fantástica: Joined the gym for a week to continue my rehab after a hip operation. Not cheap. But fantastic. Wolves were here training this week, so one of the gyms was out of bounds for the morning. A genuine bit of luxury.

Experiência fantástica: Excelente espaço para praticar ténis e ter um bom convívio

Experiência fantástica: Dana is fantastic! Love her classes, the yoga classes are fabulous

Experiência fantástica: Really nice gym. Staff are nice. Only thing is the split level gym, also it should have more equipment for the price they charge, it’s no way a power gym, sadly people have no gym etiquette and the dumbbells are never out back correctly, ants are an issue & id your taking a class the next group rudely just walk in before you have finished instead of waiting quietly for your class to Finnish, the instructors need to get on that! However it’s a lovely setting, football grounds are immaculate so are the tennis facilities. Coffee is good but needs to be serving before 9am as the gym is open from 7am

Experiência fantástica: Superb performance area, clean and secure. Lovely coffee and snacks area. Fabulous smoothie

Experiência fantástica: One of the best sports facilities in Europe.

Experiência fantástica: Great facility for kids and adults alike tennis, soccer and swimming whilst we were there, flowed by chicken wings and vino in Danos, a perfect day

Experiência positiva: Fantastic facilities, amazingly helpful staff, tremendously poor IT, the website interface and booking system crashes a lot, isn’t user friendly and doesn’t quite match up to the world class nature of The Campus.

Experiência positiva: Good

Experiência fantástica: Incredible facilities. Sauna, Steam room, outdoor pool, Specialist Gym, Main Gym, tennis courts, football pitches. Expensive (140€ for two weeks) but worth the price! Also has a huge selection of classes every day. Everytime we’ve been we’ve seen professional athletes training including PL football players and Olympians.

Experiência fantástica: Really nice sports facilities with classes such as yoga, Pilates, spinning and boxfit everyday. Also it has a really nice outdoor pool, and indoor jacuzzi, sauna and steam room. Also, it has 2 different gym facilities with high-tech machines that you can even watch TV on whilst working out! The only downside is it's slightly pricey, at €45 per day and €90 for a week pass, but that's reflected in the quality, cleanliness and really kind and helpful staff!
