"Perfection in this place’s simplicity. It was an idyllic vacation spot. Walking distance to the village but removed enough to be ultra peaceful. The free parking, pool and breakfast were all a huge plus. We were surprised how close we were to the boardwalk walking trails and really cool cave hikes. Sunsets galore and wonderful restaurants and shops near by. Loved it!"

"The breakfast included in the stay was excellent and the outside seating was also very nice with a great view. Short walk to many restaurant options. Loved the location."

We booked the hotel as it was on the beach and had nearby restaurants. However, the food in the hotel was so good we soon upgraded to half board. Check in was easy and Ana on the front desk was great and helped us with booking tours as her local knowledge and contacts were invaluable. We chose a room with a sea view as it is a great view of the beach. Overall a great experience and no hesitation in going back.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The rooms got cleaned every day. Breakfast was a good variety and even Pastel de Nata. The place was very clean. There is a bus stop outside the hotel. We really enjoyed our stay.

We enjoyed staying in an apartment on the 24th floor with amazing ocean views. Very clean and had everything we needed to cook meals in - home away from home style. Surprisingly, considering the hotel was fully booked with families (July booking) it was very quiet and calm. The housekeeping staff and receptionists were very helpful. The hotel is literally minutes to walk from the beach, and there are several mini supermarkets to buy supplies from at the door of the hotel. We didn't use the pool...

We were here in October so it was still excellent weather. Perfect room with a balcony. Bloody Cockerell was a pain but just shut the bathroom window and door.
We had a breakfast,€14, bit pricey but did the job and was hot, two teabags in the pot would be an idea.....
The room was super clean and maintained every day.
It is at the top of the town but they provide a free shuttle to the beach and town.
We will definitely come back as it certainly suited our needs.

This hotel has to be up there with the very best. Absolutely fabulous. Spa centre and gymnasium were also good. Very warm indoor swimming pool if required for later in the year when a little cooler..

This hotel is clean with large well equipped rooms with air con, wi fi, hairdyer and tv. The staff are friendly. The only negative is location but this was no issue for us having a hire car. There is a lovely restaurant Quintinha just a few mins walk.

After much searching for a hotel that fit the bill along the coastline and around Albufeira, we settled on the Baia Grande. I must say for the week we wanted, it was also the cheapest !
Having looked around the town after we had I checked in, all I can say is that I am glad we stayed here rather than noisy crowded rooms or apartments in close vicinity to pub after pub and the crowds. I can't understand the people who marked the place down because the entertainment was more suited to older...

We stayed for 7 days at Vila Petra in January and overall it was a very enjoyable stay. The hotel is located at the less busy end of the Strip and the surroundings are quiet and pleasant.
The check-in was effortless and quick, and the email communication before arrival was helpful. The room was good in size with two single beds put together, a sofa (which could be changed to a sofa bed), a dining table with chairs, a separate well-equipped kitchen and bathroom. The covered balcony looked over...
