Popular Guia 4-star Hotels

Overall the hotel is good but there are issues. We booked half board with Jet 2 and on check in at the hotel we were told we could not used the Italian restaurant as half board, this is not what jet 2 website on hotel website state, we would not have booked this hotel otherwise. After discussions with jet 2 rep and management we did use Italian 3 times, I think in the future guests will be limited to the a la carte which has very limited menu. The pool area does not have enough sunbeds and parasols to go round plus most parasols are broken, dirty and sunbeds tired. Some people’s towels were left around pool area on the floor for days. There are not enough staff, bar staff have to clear and tidy pool area, it’s not their fault it is managements. The drinks are quite pricey in bar. The mattresses need a topper which I asked for otherwise they are lumpy and have plastic cover. The staff, especially Marco did a great job being so understaffed. There is not much to see in the area so it’s a case of staying in the hotel.

Good service and elegant and recent room. Little reproaches: no gross mirror in the bathroom, nor a available bathroom shirt. Correct breakfast. You are 10 minutes walk from the beach. If not, a vehicle is essential to move because the area is very quiet.

We stayed in this accommodation in our winter break (family of 4). The villa was a little bit confusing to find, but is actually right in front of VidaMar Hotel (turn right from the roundabout as you see the hotel). The villa is located in gated community and the reception is located in 1B area (left hand side as you pass security gate) so you feel extra secure (especially for us who rented a car). As we came in January, it was not really busy and a bit quiet (other than in New Year where some villas nearby having a New Year blast) so it was very relaxing. The villa is huge with dedicated parking in the basement and door direct to the accomodation. The parking is a bit tight though. We picked 2 bedroom-villa and it is a very spacious villa. Very high ceiling and airy with essential furniture. Saying that, as the room is basically quite empty, it is very echoey and a bit hard to hear what other family member was saying to you when you are not in the same room. There is swimming pool in each villa which is clean (1.2 m is the deepest) that we did not use (as it was too cold) and 4 loungers. Outside, there is also a dining table in case you like to dine after swimming. It feels like staying at home away. Kitchen has fridge-freezer, oven, microwave, toaster, coffee machine, kettle, washing machine and dishwasher. Dishwasher tablet and washing powder is not provided as part of your stay, but you can easily buy them in nearby supermarket 2 roundabouts away (Coviran). They also have an ironing board with iron, broom/dustpan/mop, etc. Wifi is strongest downstairs and TV is not very entertaining as not all channels work and they are either in in local language or dubbed. There is also TV in master bedroom and both bedrooms have AC (we don’t need that though). Master bedroom has ‘his and hers’ sinks and there is bidet in both en-suite. The only thing weird thing is that there is no shower screens so water would splash like anything every time you take shower so extra bathroom mat is absolutely needed. Comfortable beds and there is balcony in master bedroom facing the pool downstairs. Beach is only about 5 minutes away from villa, clean and quiet, maybe due to winter. If you feel like cooking, there is Coviran/Ocean Supermarket that has almost everything. It has an attached cofffe shop with some nice pastries. But if you don’t feel like doing anything, VidaMar Hotel could sort you out. We had our breakfast and brunch there and it was really good. Villa does not actually provide housekeeping, but there was staff came inside our villa when we were in to check if we need one. All staff were very friendly and helpful, we were allowed to have a late check-in as our flight was later in the evening. We were really grateful with that. We are thinking to come again very soon, maybe when it is a bit warmer so that we would be able to use the swimming pool outside.

This was my second time back in the this property with my family and I found there was a few things that needed to be updated and could have been a bit more cleaner this time round.

The apartment is located in a holiday resort where almost only Portuguese were. It is located directly to the pools and the beach can also be reached in 5 minutes on foot. It is well equipped and very quiet. Only the mattresses were too hard.

Very good stay, the staff made us feel welcome and the organization was perfect. The villa is fully equipped and there is everything for a good holiday. Frankly nothing to add except that I recommend if you want a good holiday in the sun.

Villa Arribas is beautiful clean, spacious, well equipped. Set in a residential area it does not feel touristy. We walked to several beaches, all within 20-30 minute easy stroll. There are supermarkets within 15-20 minute walk. The swimming pool was great
