This hotel is beautiful, the gardens and pool area are immaculate with plenty of space and always a comfy sunbed no matter what time of day it is. The staff are very attentive, professional and friendly. Breakfast was delicious with a good choice of hot and cold and cava! and there is a lovely restaurant for dinner and a pizza restaurant next door. The rooms are extremely clean and big, our bed was huge and so comfy! The shower was very powerful and big bath sheets! The resort is very quiet but the beach is just down the road with 3 restaurants/bars. We also found an Indian, Seafood and Chinese restaurant about a ten/fifteen minute walk inland. I would recommend this hotel 100% and would definitely go again!
The pillows were lumpy and I wish I'd asked to replace them. Booking.com advertised a free taxi to this hotel but never included details of how to book and then denied it when I messaged them.

Great hotel, only 40 rooms so feels like you’ve the place to yourself. Staff are lovely and nothing is too much trouble. Room over looking the pool was great, good size and all you need. The spa includes free access to jacuzzi, sauna and steam room and I would highly recommend getting a massage (prices are not too bad)! There’s a chill out area which pool table and cocktails from the bar are fab! Location is great, 3 mins walk to the beach which you pass a fab Italian restaurant and on the beach there are a few bars, the one on the right we had a great fish meal in one of the nights. If you are looking for something a little more peaceful then this is your spot. We got a Uber into Albufeira one of the nights and was so glad we were staying out of that madness.
The bed had a mattress protector made of plastic so when you moved it made noise and was not comfortable as we were roasting with it but easy solution, just remove it and remake the bed. Breakfast options were lovely and tasty but limited so after a few days we were a little bored with it, perhaps maybe it could be changed up each day? Two very small things which would not stop me from recommending this place!

Hotel is is a quiet location which was perfect. Long strip of a beach you can walk. 3 lovely restaurants on the beach, and a few more next to the hotel. you won’t feel you need to go to another town to eat. Best sunset and seafood. hotel is boutique, comfortable room, clean and spacious. Staff is lovely. Grounds of the pool area is beautiful. Plenty of sun beds. There is also indoor hot water big jacuzzi and steam room, sauna. Overall it’s a lovely hotel to relax and enjoy the warm weather. It’s not on the beach but literally less than a min walk to it. sun beds on the beach are for couple 10 Euro. I recommend to use the beach behind the first restaurant on the left. More secluded and quiet. And that restaurant has a bar upstairs. It’s the best spot to watch glorious sun set whilst you sip your delicious cocktails, with lounge music. Just lovely.
Everything was great

Staff were so lovely and accommodating. We were there for our anniversary and they'd surprised us with a bottle of delicious champagne. The hotel is clean, shiny and quiet. Don't bother with local restaurants because the one here is exceptional. The pool and spa feels secluded and a treat. And then you go down the road to reach the beach and sea. Felt like the escape we needed.
We probably couldn't have done longer than 3 or 4 days just because there's not too much to do in the surrounding area. It would have also have been nice to have a coffee machine/kettle in the room already and not have to pay for milk.

Clean rooms, spacious, with balcony, pool, steam room, sauna, jacuzzi, spa, bar and restaurant. The breakfast set up and selection is great. Made use of the spa and it was lovely especially the facials! Left my face super smooth. The best part was I had a surprise from the hotel where on my birthday I was out and came back to a lovely chocolate cake and a bottle of wine for me to celebrate my birthday. The best part was I didn’t tell them but they must have noticed when I checked in and they decided to be intentional. Now that was the highlight of my stay. Can’t thank the staff enough for making my stay here a wonderful one. Highly recommended!!!

Small, modern, stylish, great location, excellent facilities, friendly professional and efficient staff. Superb buffet breakfast with hot food to order. A choice of two excellent restaurants, one more formal and the other casual, pizza pasta etc. Superb outdoor swimming pool with plenty of sunbeds. Also great spa facilities with massage Jacuzzi, sauna & steam. Also a gym and yoga studio.

The sea was very close. Staff was very friendly. They made us feel welcome. Supermarket nearby. When we checked in, staff brought delicious wine to our room. The air conditioning works perfectly and was operable with a remote control.
Nothing actually. Minor remark: distance between city center and hotel is 8 km. Consider this when you book.

Beautiful hotel with stunning grounds. Gorgeous pool and next to sandy beaches. Spotless and modern rooms and facilities. Staff were friendly and accommodating, went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable.
Maybe it would’ve been nice to have a kettle or coffee making facilities in the room (they do supply them at reception though). As it was off- season the hotel was very quiet, so sometimes there wasn’t always someone in the bar/restaurant to get drinks.

Really enjoyed the stay at Vila Praia. Staff were great. The food was fantastic.
The spa was great (albeit the jakuzzi wasn’t warm enough) the only negative I had was the shower in the bathroom. Mine didn’t work well at all. Very slow pressure. Happened all three nights. I should have said something but I didn’t. Apart from that, very nice stay. I would stay again but at £100, it’s quite pricey for ten month of February.

Buffet breakfast was excellent. Amazing location and vibes! Super close to beaches and restaurants. Pool and lounging area were great and amazing staff! Eugenia offered a wonderful massage and Catia and Mr Bravo at the front desk made us feel welcome and served us well. Restaurant staff were also very good!
The bathroom sink did not drain very well.
