Best hotel in Albuferia
Absolutely fab. Rooms so spacious and clean. Pool is lovely and also really clean and no problem getting sunbeds. Staff are so friendly and welcoming, especially David in the bar, he makes the best whiskey sours and such attention to detail, we look forward to seen him every year we come back. This is our fifth time and we enjoy it every as much everytime we come. 10 out of 10 for us xx

Thoroughly enjoyable stay!
We spent a lovely 10 days at Vila Petra. The hotel was incredibly clean with very comfortable rooms. The separate kitchen area was very well equipped. The safe in the room does not come at an additional cost. The staff at the hotel are all welcoming, polite and helpful. The pool area was also very clean with attendants on hand collecting glasses frequently and although sunbeds were being reserved there were still ample beds available with spaces throughout the day. The entertainers were fantastic, Claudio and Roshad have energy that is infectious but not intrusive and they really make an effort with the children in particular, always including those that want to join in. Although a short walk away, the main Albufeira strip was not for us although as some have mentioned, the old town is a short Uber away. All in all a faultless stay, we would happily return, thank you Vila Petra!
Great hotel in a fantastic location
We have recently returned (21-30th july). We were a family of 4 with 2 older teens, and stayed in a 1 bed apartment with pool view. The apartment was very spacious, with large bathroom and a separate kitchen. Would've been handy to have a blind in the kitchen, as when opening the door in the morning to make a coffee the light did wake the teens. The kitchen has all appliances and utensils you need. For the first 6 days the pool was idyllic. Plenty of sunbeds, even at 1030hrs. But then the cohort of guests changed, they were queuing at 9am when the pool opened, reserving sunbeds with towels, and disappearing. Hotel really needs to clamp down on these guests. Hotel is spotless and in a great location. Walk- 6min to Aldi and Tourist train stop , 5min to strip, and 15min to beach. Uber approx £3 to old town and £12 to Vilamoura. The cave and dolphin trip is worth it, we booked this online. There are plenty of local restaurants in walking distance. Can recommend Copos Peticos (tapas), which is excellent but booking advisable as very small. Steak Farnell, very good steak and very reasonable, Jardim Rustico (fish) and only 2 min walk. We didn't pay and watch the evening entertainment and it was disappointing that the bar closed at 1130pm. Would recommend this hotel, which is very quiet.

Excellent & peaceful family hotel with great staff.
Location less than 5 min walk to Aldi/Spar & the quieter end of the main strip. Old town 5 mins away in an uber/bolt. Rooms were spacious and spotless, cleaning every day if wanted. Pool atmosphere was great & well stocked bar. Opens at 9 and no need for the ridiculous bed running there’s always beds available. Adult & Kids pools are on the cold side but you have the option of the warmer indoor pool which our 2 year old preferred. Poolside entertainment throughout the day & kids club. I feel if the kids disco changed from afternoon to evening you’d get a lot more staying in hotel for dinner. Shoutout to David in the Stone bar, an absolute gent & wonderful service. Golden Garden, Urban Indian & Villa Carmela (a small family run Italian beside hotel) were by far the 3 nicest meals we had. Plenty of bang average steakhouses on our end of strip.
