Lovely, friendly & very clean hotel
We have spent 10 nights at Vila Petra. The hotel is lovely & clean. Staff are exceptionally friendly & kind. The apartment was a good size, clean & had all we needed for being self catering. The apartment was cleaned to a high standard daily. The entertainment staff in particular were fabulous - Claudio, Roshan & Mhari - always smiling, super kind, encouraging & friendly especially to the children.

Best hotel ever
This is the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. From the spotless rooms to the sparkling pool and even the delicious food, everything was top-notch. The breakfast was simply amazing. But let’s not forget the staff – wow, David the bartender and his team are incredible. And the entertainment, Claudio and Roshan, is simply fantastic. I’ll definitely be back!
Great
Pancakes were very good for breakfast cluadio is very nice😁😁😁the pool a little cold but every very nice
Honest and Truthful
My husband and I visited in June 26 for two weeks. We're very well travelled and this is a totally honest review. The Good:- Entertainment Team were lovely. Well done to Roshan and Claudio for their friendliness.
The Bar Staff in The Stone Bar. Very professional and friendly and always remembered our drink choice. All the drinks are measured and priced as in the UK., so don't expect large measurements.
Circus Night. The piri piri chicken was great and reasonable pricing. Show quite good too.
The location- Very good. Local to walking to The Strip. An uber ride to Old Town and Marina for around €3. A must to download the user app. Unbelievably cheap and hardly any waiting.
Sunbeds around the Pool: people did save their beds every day with towels then disappeared for hours. We always found two beds though even if we went around the pool for a couple of hours later in the day.
The Bad:- Tui Rep - So unhelpful. Went down for the Welcome Meeting and she'd decided she wasn't going to do one. We booked our trips locally then.
The Maid Service - Terrible! She made the bed roughly. Left toilet rolls and left towels. The bathroom sink surrounds weren't cleaned once during our two weeks stay and stains proved this. We normally leave around €20 tip for the maid/Cleaner but we didn't leave anything due to the poor clean every day.
Stag Party - There was one in particular with around 20 men. Why the "Groom" was allowed to parade around with a large plastic willy sticking out of his shorts, I'll never know. There were lots of young children around. I'm not a prude, but that was terrible.
Worst of All - The Breakfast! Oh my God. It was the worst breakfast we've EVER had at any hotel around the World! The hot buffet was luke warm at best, borderline cold. I asked for warm baked beans. The cook woman came out and tipped beans into the "hot" tray. The beans were literally freezing cold. No heat whatsoever. Coffee and juices were fine though. We went to a small cafe called The Cottage for breakfasts. Beautiful. One thing I absolutely hated at breakfast and is a pet hate of mine. Whilst eating/drinking the young table clearing staff would stretch over you to grab a dirty cup or plate. I had to tell them to leave until we'd finished on many occasions.
Overall I wouldn't return to the Hotel again. I can't believe thst it's received so many good reviews! Honestly, this review is the absolute truth. Good luck to you if you stay here
