Very welcoming and in a lovely part of the Algarve that is somewhat protected from overdevelopment. The resort has a small beach, but is a modest walk or an easy drive to many other nearby beautiful beaches. Very relaxing!

The property is gorgeous. However the quality of the food needs to be improved. Also so of the staff needs more training.

While the property was nice and the staff very helpful, it is by no means a five star property. Nor are the ocean view rooms ocean view. This is hype and dishonest. This is a US 3 or 3.5 star hotel. Not bad at all but not a luxury property.

This property is nicely tucked away near the coast. Was only a 45 min drive from Old town. There isn’t much around the resort so I recommend stopping at a grocery store beforehand to grab some snacks and maybe some sandwiches. There is one restaurant on the property but it is extremely over priced and everything we ordered came out wrong. Items were missing from our orders and seemed like they used left overs from breakfast. The front desk staff was excellent and very accommodating, so I was shocked at the lack of oversight in their restaurant. The resort was right next to the cliffs with beautiful views and a small beach. They have a salt water pool and regular pool which I thought was a nice touch. Aside from the restaurant, I enjoyed our stay. Would stay here again.

Very little English spoken by staff, which is amazing for a Spa hotel with international clientel. No Spanish either 50 miles from the border.. Breakfast coffee terrible, made with reconstituted powdered milk. Not the halmark of a health spa. But all very clean and comfortable.

The room were spacious and clean. The pool, restaurant and facilities in general were very good. The resort is quiet and welcoming. Unfortunately, we had an issue with out air-con turning off after a couple of hours, during the night this resulted in us waking up and having to reset it at least a couple of times. After the first night, we spoke to reception who said that it would be looked at. Unfortunately, this was just ignored resulting in uncomfortable nights. In general, the food on offer was of decent quality and a reasonable price. However, on one occasion we ordered a salad with prawns and received a quarter of an iceberg lettuce with 3 semi recently unfrozen (cooked) prawns. A complaint was made to the server who told us this is how it was - which was severely disappointing. On the positive side, we attended a wedding here and it was excellent - the staff were extremely attentive and couldn't be anymore helpful. Generally of an excellent standard.

Nice place to stay near the beach. Good view to the sea from poolside. The jacuzzi area is old, the bubble jet bath non functioning. Spa front desk reception lady may need some guest caring training.

Very remote location but the hotel is excellent. Beautiful rooms although they need some way to keep housekeeping from constantly knocking. Salt water pool is a bit chilly but the view is wonderful. Short walk to the small beach

Beautiful location away from the crowds; great breakfast. Getting there was a bit challenging (curvy two-way one lane road) but worth the effort. If you enjoy cliff hiking, this is for you!

Stayed for two nights at this property, our first stop in Portugal arriving from Spain. A very nice property! Small but cozy, it has everything needed for a great vacation…breakfast buffet, options for lunch and dinner, a small bar, two swimming pools plus the beach is less than a 5-minute walk away. Rooms have been recently updated, very nice decor and comfy beds! Special shout out to all the staff, from the guys at the reception to the staff at the restaurant everyone was great!!

We loved the apartment, though it was a bit too jammed with furniture. Very comfortable. And the location, just a short walk to the dramatic limestone cliffs and a small, beautiful beach in the central Algarve was perfect. Less than perfect? Just getting to and from the hotel on the narrow, winding one lane roads is an adventure. And unless you never want to explore the area, you have to drive in and out since there is nothing nearby. Also, this is a very family friendly resort, which is fine, but it does result in a lot of infants, toddlers and young children running around and crying in the restaurant/breakfast room, so anything but peaceful.

Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2023

We arrived at reception at the time we had specified. First words from a disembodied voice in an adjacent office were you’ll have to wait - this proved to be a potent of things to come. We waited at reception, at the bar and at the restaurant throughout our stay. The staff seemed harassed all the time and to be honest most had little training. As an example on the first night two waiters struggled with a jug of fish soup before depositing its contents all over the table. To get service during the day sitting in the restaurant was not sufficient to get service you had to actually go to the bar each and every time. The pool area could be stunning but the upkeep of the area is poor. Glass around the pool was not cleaned during the 4 days we stayed. Food was ok but not inspiring and generally overpriced. The room itself was dated with the fire extinguisher hanging off the wall ready to fall at any minute - I removed it and placed it on the filler where despite the room being cleaned every day it remained. An iron and a hairdryer worthy of the name were unavailable. I could go on but suffice to say attention to data was non existent and service was at best reluctant.

We arrived on a Friday afternoon and were staying for our son's wedding at the property on Monday. The road to the property is a bit of a nightmare in that it's single track and for a few hundred metres there is nowhere to pass as there are walls on both sides. Parking is good when you get there. Our reception on arrival was disinterested at best, though there was no-one else in reception a disembodied voice from an office called out would have to wait a few minutes. Unfortunately this was symptomatic of the staffing at Vila Alba - beyond slow and obviously a lot of very inexperienced waiting staff some of whom couldn't speak English (this is supposed to be a 5 star resort). Getting service for drinks around the pool and even at the restaurant seating area was next to impossible at times and we and others resorted to going to the bar inside in order to get service. The food at the restaurant was nice enough without ever reaching a memorable level and pretty expensive for what it was. We ate out in Carveiro one night at the Chefs Kitchen which was excellent and attempted to do the same at Benagil but were unable to get an Uber taxi willing to come to the property and we had to cancel our reservation. The two bedroomed apartment was dated with missing cobbles at the entrance and only had a bath with shower. inside. Various cobbles were missing around the resort and the pool also had quite a number gone AWOL. I could go on but I've reached the limit. Very disappointing.

Es war alles wunderbar. Das Resort ist echt sehr sehr schön, wir hatten auch sehr gutes Wetter und es hat alles gepasst. Der Strand ist auch sehr nahe und traumhaft! Das Frühstück war auch sehr gut. Nur die Anfahrt ist etwas verwirrend und die Strecke lang.
