皮河瑞斯達巴拉亞別墅飯店

I traveled with a young child and the mezzanine wall at one point is only 79cm high. The drop below is over 25ft and there are no safety rails or barriers. The manhole cover in the children’s park kept coming off, due to damage to the casing underground, exposing wires. Some of the complex is not fenced off and there are sheer drops. All these hazards meant we had to constantly vigilant of the child. The nearby beaches are 1.4 miles, 1.8 miles and 1.9 miles and also involves a lot of hill walking. To get to the main road from the villas is 0.5 miles. This road has no pavement and uneven in parts. If you have transfers as part of your holiday package, you have to walk to the pick up point, on the main road where there is no shelter, because a coach cannot get down this road. The garage door to the villa was left wide open, allowing anyone to access the villa via an internal door. We were told this was due to the key of the villa next door which had been programmed to open ours, as we did not have a key. The bathroom and toilet have no privacy lock. The only person you can speak to regarding problems is the receptionist, the management are only contactable by email. Limited staff, badly managed 2* at best

Fantastic place to stay. All the staff were brilliant. Very nice and clean. Probably one of the nicest we have been too. We did use the bbq and had a nice evening used the bar and restaurant couple of times however we booked with easyjet and there was no mention of the 700mtr walk from where the coach dropped us of at 10.40pm. And the same walk back to be picked up at 5.50am. We were a party of four pensioners two of us with walking difficulties. But this should not reflect on the place itself as our stay there was fantastic.

Receptionists are so rude and entitled . Laughed in our faces when came to them about problems. Tried to make us check out at 5:30 am when check out starts at 8am. Said they where going to call the police as we tried to say we won’t be checking out then

Arrived early Saturday evening, check in was quick and painless. Villa is spotless and very well equipped. We were fortunate to have a roof terrace which was great to enjoy a drink and catch some sun. There was a BBQ in back terrace but we never used it. Ate in the onsite restaurant 3 times for breakfast and 3 times for dinner, I must say really good quality, no complaints. We spent most of our time down at the old town. Uber approx €6 very reasonable, loads and loads of pubs and places to eat, wasn't overly keen on the staff at each place vying for punters but, it's kind of expected abroad nowadays. We did have a family bereavement whilst we were away so, did change the holiday mood significantly. Please don't expect much close by as there isn't, the Aldi is a good 15 min walk and if returning with shopping Uber is probably your best bet. Would i return ? Definitely.

1 key card!!!!! 5 individuals sharing a room and 1 card is not sufficient- different agendas different sleep routines how is one card acceptable- it’s not. 40 years od age not a party head but only one key between 5 people not good enough asked for second key and told no. 5 diffdwrner. Individuals at least 2-3 let’s required. For example 2 of us want sleep tonight 3 want to go out this is a disgrace !

My husband,myself and 17 and 20 year old son stayed for 5 nights. The villa was absolutely stunning, the place is very clean with a beautiful pool. The staff were so friendly particularly the lady in the bar/restaurant The food is fabulous ate a few times there and all enjoyed every meal. Beds so comfy and only a nice short away from bars and restaurants. Also new town( but tbh it's a dump) however old town is lovely especially on Halloween night, wow the Portuguese put on an amazing night. Highly recommend these villas
