Excellent hotel
As a family of 4 with 2 teenage children we stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment on a self catering basis. The room was exceptional, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The whole hotel was immaculate and all staff we dealt with were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We visited the snack bar for lunch a few times and the food was both good and reasonably priced. We ate in the restaurant one night and this was excellent. We also did the quiz in the bar a few times which was great with the entertainment team also running various activities throughout the day. We are very well travelled and this is one of the best hotels we have stayed in. Highly recommended

Vila Petra, does not disappoint!
Vila Petra in Albufeira was an absolute dream for our family holiday, exceeding every expectation from start to finish. The apartment felt more like a home than a hotel room—wonderfully spacious, giving our family plenty of room to stretch out and relax. The standard of cleanliness across the entire resort is truly top-tier; every corner of the property, from the spotless living spaces to the pristine pool area, is kept in exceptional condition. What truly elevates Vila Petra, however, is its incredible team. The staff’s attentiveness and meticulous attention to detail are second to none. Every member of the team goes out of their way to make you feel genuinely welcome, anticipating your needs before you even ask and making sure every moment of your stay is effortless. The location is ideal—it sits close enough to the main strip to enjoy all the action, yet remains surprisingly peaceful and quiet at night. On top of that, the resort provided good, engaging entertainment that kept everyone happy throughout our stay. We will definitely come again and would highly recommend Vila Petra to anyone looking for the perfect family getaway in Albufeira!

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.
