Lovely hotel, perfect with the two swimming pools especially if you have children. Staff are lovely and helpful. Only a 15-20 minute walk to the beach and approx 10 to the strip area. Shops very close by. Hotel very clean and studio apartments are great for babies. I would recommend this property.

The hotel gets the job done. It’s a bit outdated for a 4 star hotel. The walls are very thin and the twin beds pushed together to make a “king” do not work at all, they split apart while sleeping. The beds are also not comfortable. I went with my partner but for a family I can see how this hotel could work with the kitchen it has and the pools. They do some shows as well in thr evenings, again more family friendly. The 4 stars I give it is for the location close to the strip and walking distance otherwise I’d prefer a little more luxury.

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 (Strip)

This was our first trip to Portugal. I would definitely recommend Vila Petra for adults and families. Immaculately clean, well maintained, quiet (expecially in the annex buildings) with excellent staff everywhere. It has gained it's star rating honestly and would not disappoint anyone.

Really lovely apartment. Location: Close enough to walk to the busy part of Albuferia, but far enough away to not hear it! 20 min gentle walk to the beach. 45 min walk to The Old Town. Food and drink: restaurant was beautiful, but very close to lots of bars and restaurants. Uber’s are ridiculously cheap and always available.

Hotel was great. Didn’t use all of the facilities or entertainment as we were out and about most of the time. Entertainment area was busy but relaxing in the evening. Pool is excellent and no bother getting a sunlounger. Spacious rooms and good air con! 300 euro or pounds cash security deposit for groups. We didn’t have to pay it though - be mindful you might be asked to if a few of you check in together.

It would have been nice not to have any young families above us. Babies crying and parents rushing to take care of the little ones. The hotel was not at capacity we could have been given another room. The entertainment group was great for having activities every night.

Easy check in and check out. Pleasant and accommodating staff. The property and room were clean and comfortable. Several food options at the hotel as there aren’t many restaurants around the area unless you walk to the strip. Aldi’s grocery store close. Uber and taxis made it easy to get around but we walked around town and the beach for the most part. All in all a great stay for the price.
