Vila Petra

The location is near residential area and is peaceful and quiet. Our room and balcony faces a not very pretty lot but it didn’t matter so much as we weren’t in the room much of the day. The room was clean and the kitchen very well equipped with utensils and appliances. the sofa bed sheets had some hair which was not too pleasant. On one of the mornings, the electricity went out for 30 minutes but luckily it wasn’t too hot at that time. As it was September, the hotel was fairly quiet most of the time although the front desk told us they were fully booked. There were supermarkets nearly so it was convenient to get food and drinks, and there is a couple of very good Portuguese restaurants within walking distance.

The staff were excellent and very accommodating as we were a big group. We were impressed with the facilities and it was perfect for a large family gathering of all ages. Despite it being July, it was busy but we did not have to wait as it was well staffed and a large space. A little noisy outside at times as there were groups going to the nightspot (*****)

Lovely big hotel with friendly staff members. Check in was swift, although room was not available at 12pm but at 1pm. 1 bed room was big enough for 2 adults and 18 year and 16 year old, Large lounge area with TV. Kitchen very well equipped with Bosch branded kettle, coffee machine and toaster. Towels, washing up liquid and sponge. plenty of plates, dishes, glasses and crockery etc. Dishwasher included. Best equipped kitchen I've seen. Cleaning attended everyday with fresh towels. Pool and surrounding area nice and clean. Nice restaurants and bar. I thought i had been sent on a 18-30 holiday (i know they don't exist anymore) There must have been 80% occupancy at anyone time of young adults. Admitted mostly well behaved some swearing poolside. We had some next to us that rang our door bell late at night and then again at 5.30 in the morning. Could her them laughing and shouting. As the young adults are preparing to go out between 9pm and midnight they could be a loud with shouting from balconies and loud music. The security guards do walk rounds and nip this in the bud. I know that groups have to leave a 300 Euro deposit and they get 2 warnings and then the deposit is not returned. This is the hotel policy because it allows so many young adults to book at this Family hotel at anyone time. In my opinion i would not come here with a young family. Its staggeringly very close to the "*****" hence the swaths of younger adults. Of all the rooms i could see from my balcony which was 12 rooms i could see 9 of them filled with young adults. Absolutely surrounded by them. Before 1pm there are enough sunbeds but once the swaths of young adults descend on the pool after 1pm not enough sunbeds for the capacity for the hotel. Had to sit on chairs. I did a head count on one day and there were 40 young people in the pool with more on sunbeds and only about 5 families around the pool. Also there are Pool police, you can only play with a small to medium ball, Anything football sized if confiscated. Any lilo's, Rubber rings are removed from you even before they hit any water. (kids love a rubber ring) On one particular day the pool played the same 2 songs for 3 hours, i had to make a request that we heard some other songs and they did put on some other songs. I can guarantee i will get a hotel response claiming its a "Family Hotel", the only family thing i saw was a room where you children can play whilst supervised at limited times and a small pool area. Oh there is a pool table. TIP: if you have the aircon on full its just enough to drown out the noise when they return anywhere between 4am and 6am. I will not return to hotel and area as more suited to young adults who want to party.

I would not recommend this hotel! The staff were horrible and treated us badly- i’m not sure whether that’s because we are young but me and my best friend were far from relaxed with this hotel. The bar staff by the pool were the only brilliant thing about the hotel! The location is also good. The cleaning was horrible, all they did to our room was change our duvets and sometimes our towels. The food is not what it is described as.. We ordered a pizza for room service and we had to pick it up and it was like a toddler had attempted to make one. AWFUL.

This was the second time i’ve visited vila petra first time in june and back again in july and i will certainly be back and booking in august. The hotel is beautiful loved every second i was there and staff are very friendly big shout out to fernando i think his name was on reception, always a pleasure. The hotel is also makes you feel very safe. Can’t wait to be back- Ruby
