First time at Vila Petra. Visited with 9 of my friends for a golf holiday. Place was absolutely spotless. Rooms were large and we had a lovely view over the pool. Staff very friendly and helpful. We was allowed a very late checkout on 4 of our 5 rooms at no extra cost, the other having already been allocated. Didn't... More

I will get rid of the minus point first, which was the lack of choice on the Half Board Dinner Menu. The daily menu consisted of a soup starter, a trip to the salad bar, a choice of 3 mains, followed by a choice of desserts. Generally the soup was very good, however, if you were not happy with the... More

We stayed at the 4* Vila Petra during the first week of the Easter holidays. We found the hotel extremely clean with well appointed rooms. We stayed on a self catering basis so cannot comment on the food. There are lots of eating places nearby (see our other reviews for these). We had a 1 bedroom apartment on the 1st... More

We went as a family with two kids in april 2013. Excellent location. The strip is 5 minutes walk. Old town is about 30 minutes by walk. The apartment was roomy and clean. Useful kitchen with a neat balcony. The outdoor swimming pool looked clean. Take your own swim hats as that is mandatory for the indoor pool. Air-conditioner was... More

Just back fromsecond stay. Staff are friendly, reasonably priced bar, well equipped rooms. Beds can be hard, just ask for a mattress topper. Indoor pool was warm. Plenty of bars and restaurants in local area, yet hotel is quiet

I had high hopes for this hotel. I read most of the reviews. If you go into it with low expectations you will not be disappointed. The reception staff was ok. Some were nice and others were simply unfriendly and unwelcoming. I asked for a room with a view to the pool and I did not get it. Instead I... More

The best place iin Albufeira , if not the Algarve in my opinion . We do it every April and enjoy it just as much as ever . The hotel is spot on . Clean modern and well kept up to . It's spotless.. Well positioned for the facilities . On other travellers suggestion this year instead of getting a... More

We went in February for a Short break. We had never been to Alburfiera before. We could not have picked a better hotel. Close enough to the strip for a good choice of restaurants and bars. But far enough away that we would be not troubled by noise. The week we where there the hotel was very quiet, in fact... More
