Amazing location, very nice SPA zone with a pool and saunas, room had very spacious bathroom. Receptionist helped us to carry out luggage with a cart.

We were confused about working hours of the bar, maybe staff should think of putting a sign which would inform of the opening hours of the bar. Also, restaurant seemed a bit expensive and breakfast could contain a better coffee.

Location: 3 minutes to the small beach, 2 swimming pools, clean room, beautiful hotel, comfortable bed and bathroom. Food was good, and breakfast 4/5.

This is definitely not 5* hotel. First - staff doesn’t know English on a good level, especially guys in the restaurant, you always have to explain them, choose simple words etc. There is NOTHING in the territory: no water dispensers, no shops, no entertainment, no other cafes, NOTHING. Only 1 vending machine with cigarettes!! So if you want just water - you have to buy in the (only one) restaurant, they don’t serve you tap water on lunch/dinner. Towels: you should go yourself to spa to pick it every day, and no one is going to tell you about it. Security: it is easy to access the hotel’s swimming pool from public beach, nobody is checking who is entering the hotel’s territory. I haven’t seen any security guy on the territory.

Amazing location. Quiet, beautiful, remote. Tranquility. Reception staff. Cleanliness and room's design. Not a 5 star hotel but a strong 4 star. It's not a problem if they would fix their restaurant problem.

The restaurant is waaaaay subpar for the location. The breakfast is super varied, but the same every day and the way the eggs are cooked is a disgrace. The menu for dinner is super underwhelming. Prices are high and not worth it. Some of the staff are really trying their best.(Brazilian long haired guy did an amazing job). Some are just cruising. If they fix the restaurant problem, this would be easily a place where I would go on a yearly basis.

It was such a treat to stay at The Vila Alba Resort. The location - dreamy and peaceful, within a coastal conservation area, away from the development of neighbouring towns although they are within short driving distance for a change of evening dinner options. The facilities on site were superb as were the staff. Breakfast choice, lunchtime snacks and service superb too. The resort leads on to what were a couple of our favourite secluded beaches along the Algarve. Newish boardwalks/steps, then rocky access at the end at certain tide times. We came to the area to visit the caves by kayak and it was just a short walk away to connect up with the necessary tour companies and would say we had the best experience from this destination, east of Benagil.

Great Breakfast, Friendly staff. 2 bed Apartment was spacious and airy. Bed was comfortable. The location is superb, although is it out of the way and a hire car is essential, this meant that the Beach and Hotel location were quiet at night. Views are amazing and gardens are pretty. Salt water pool was good.

This is a family hotel, so there is a lot of noise around the pool(s) with kids having lots of loud fun, which is great if that is what you expect on your holiday. It is not a peaceful Spa retreat atmosphere you might expect when booking. If you move to the lawn area towards the beach, it is more peaceful. Did not eat lunch or evening meal at the restaurant as the prices were too expensive. We dined at the local beach bar at Praia de Albandeira, and drove into the local towns for a better well-priced selection of food.

The place was serene and secluded and only a 15 minute ride from the action. The beach and its view was beautiful. The staff amazing!

My room was not top quality. The shower fixtures were hanging off the wall. There was a soon to be leak situation in the ceiling in the bathroom. I had two spiders in my room the day I arrived. The property is located on lush green property, but if insects are in the room and the windows and doors are shut and the fixtures are hanging it tells me the place needs upgrading, a little. The food was subpar.

Good atmosphere and location.

A bit impersonal and prices of restaurant too expensive. The rest was great

Beautiful, beautiful place. The location, the views, everything was perfect. Completely out of the way in the unspoilt coastline of the national park The hotel is designed like a picture perfect village, so it was lovely just to walk around. The food is extremely good.

Decor is a little dated, but everything in great condition don’t didn’t matter in the least. Staff do not speak much English, so ordering food was challenging as we had a serious allergy in our group.

wonderful rooms, comfortable beds, nice breakfast too; I also found 2 pastel de nata in the room waiting for me on the table :) I know you can use the pool and the gym, which is great, but unfortunately I didn't do it... ps: the villa really gives you the vibes of "The Truman Show" village lol

if you don't have a car or if you're not using a uber/taxi, then it's probably more difficult to reach; I've personally walked from Benagil Cave to the Resort (less than 1 hr), but then took a uber to reach my next destination (Lagos); also, if you stay there with a friend, be mindful of the showers/toilet: if I remember correctly, there were only glass doors, so it's all very visible hehe

The staff were amazing and the hotel was beautiful. The views are particularly stunning. The food at the wedding was amazing!

The food in the restaurant was a bit disappointing. We had lunch and dinner there and the food was a bit dry and not very hot.
