Vila Alba Eco-Resort

Superb

Staff such as Vitor were super friendly and helpful. Everyone was on top of their game in respect of covid-19 measures. Spotless with lots of sanitiser etc everywhere. Food and service in the restaurant was excellent. The buffet breakfast was actually delivered to our room due to covid measures. Fabulous location with a lovely but small beach. If you fancy eating out elsewhere then you need a car.

Exceptional

The location of this property is fantastic and the view still makes you catch your breath even on the last day of holiday. It is very quiet making it a relaxing choice and some of the country’s most beautiful beaches are a short stroll away. It caters for families extremely well and the two bed apartments are very spacious.

The restaurant provides some delicious food and the staff are very friendly but you have to be a bit patient as service can be slow and the menu is slightly limited. Breakfast is delivered to your room but some things are missed in translation when you order through the forms each day. We expected some teething problems like this though as it must have been a very tough time for the hotel and it didn’t affect the quality of our stay at all.

The location is very special

Asking for a orange as dessert was 7,--(!) and it was the same for other dessert options. Way to expensive

Exciting and wonderful

- apartment space - jacuzzi in the toilet - surrounding area - comfort room - friendly staff - garden

- have option in the apartment to light the fireplace - restaurant (improve all food and lower prices) - difficult to locate the apartments, the number of apartments should be more visible to those who arrive at night

Stunning setting- peaceful, fabulous views out to see and the hotel is designed beautifully around this. Breakfast buffet was plentiful and varied and the gym and pool facilities were a great addition to our stay. I would highly recommend for families and people who want easy access to the sites and attractions of the algarve but wish to stay somewhere a little off the beaten track with a relaxed and peaceful vibe.

Rooms fit for family, ideal for 4. Excellent breakfast. Beach in front hotel is beautiful and invite for a trekking. Morgadinho, hotel restaurant is very good with a reasonable pricing.

Room was a full apartment! Should spen$ more time here!

Driving in is a little challenging, narrow roads.

Location and friendly personnel. Good breakfast.

Wellness was only for 16+

The place is gorgeous, not only adjacent to the resort, but the beaches, starting with the double beach at the end of the path toward to sea. Then, nice hike to the right along the ridge toward another beach about 20 min along the ridge. Small, lovely pocket beaches. Breakfasts were great. The suite was huge and super comfortable. The spa was good--especially the steam room and sauna. My pedicure was costly but very well done. Staff is nice and helpful.

The dining room for dinner is super fussy in a not so good way. Small portions of over fancy,over-prepared, not so tasty food. It seemed wildly off the mark for the resort which had a number of kids. The dining room was not well patronized at night and for good reason. Off the mark for an otherwise great place.

Surroundings and facilities were top notch

Was a kettle but no tea bags or milk in the room

Nice quiet resort with a good beach just a walk away. Has a heated pool inside in case of colder weather. The resort is far from all the city noise and it is perfect for cozy vacation.

The resort was quiet but really good. The rooms were well equipped and the location was great. The breakfast was 1st class and the beach the kids loved.

Noting but it’s remote and a singular track you need a car to stay here!

The small personal touch. We were there for a birthday with family, when we got back in the evening there was a birthday cake waiting on the table. Well equipped clean and well located. Spa very welcome Monica was adorable.

Perfect hotel far away of the civilization. Beautifull sights

Location and views were outstanding as was the staff and food.

The place for family and couples! The resort provides you an excellent opportunity to enjoy nature, breathtaking views, swimming at the hidden beach( only limited number of people), 2 pools and small kids pool, apartment is very comfortable for 4 persons, kitchen is sufficient, but not for much cooking. The surrounding is very quiet! Hope to come back!

Clean and lovely setting.

Those Portuguese tarts at breakfast were divine !! And, the bed was, in fact super comfy. !!

We could have had daily complimentary water in the suite. Something we expect in a 5 star resort. Also, we had to return two out of date bottles of juice to reception. These were replaced within an hour or two.

We stayed for six nights in a two bedroom apartment equipped with a kitchen and good size bathroom plus a spacious living room. Breakfast and dinner at the restaurant were great. Beds were comfortable and WiFi connection was very good. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The resort has two pools and sufficient number of lounges and umbrellas. It is very close to a beach on the ocean. Nicely landscaped with great views of the ocean from the resort.

There are no restaurants in the vicinity of the resort, and access to the main road is very narrow.

Spa staff were wonderful. Pool and spa facilities amazing. Location by a perfect beach

Accommodation was quite dated.

Great little houses full of everything you need in an amazing location. Very friendly and helpful staff. Close to a cute little beach and incredible cliffs. Highly recommended!!!

Lovely location excellent views

The Location was lovely and quiet, you would need a car to get around. Beautiful Albandeira beach moments walk from the hotel.

Breakfast coffee/ cappuccino was from a machine. We did only find out at checkout that we could order espresso from the restaurant.

Breakfast was great and the location was fantastic, right of the water and a five minute walk to the cliffs and local beach.

The pool area was smaller than expected and wasn't as clean as we would expect for a resort of this calibre (glass balustrades needed cleaning and there were sometimes glasses and plates left from the day before). The room decor was also a bit dated.

The hotel's cliffs lead to the Bengali Caves..what a spectuclar treat to go to the caves on foot

Comfortable beds. Small kitchenette was a plus. Quite luxurious. Not for a budget traveller.

What is it with the swimming caps for the spa?? If we are required to wear please supply!

The meals were delicious and the staff were kind and approachable. The children's menu was incredible!!!!!!!

Nothing!

Comfortable, quiet, charming. Very helpful staff!

Restaurant is overpriced

The setting is gorgeous. The staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good. Great location.

The place just lacks some decent facilities for me to give it a 10 rating. The place is lovely but it needs a decent gym and spa. The gym and spa is a waste of time. No decent machines or free weights. They have so much ground in the estate they could easily build a tennis court, create a games room for kids such as table tennis or pool. Not much to do other than use the swimming pool. The food at night is not good. Trying too hard to look like a Michelin restaurant but quality and selection poor. People are great though but the owners need to invest in the property and the little touches that would make us come back.

Tatiana in the kids club she was awesome with the children.

Great location, quiet and peaceful and very friendly staff. I would definitely stay here again.

Maybe the gym could have a little bit more attention, but apart from that everything was great.

After a hectic few weeks travelling. This was a beautiful place to take time out and relax for a few days. Very quite and peaceful away from any hustle and bustle.

I love the fact that the resort has everything u need, love the cave beaches, enjoyed the food, the staff and the spa. Great resort for who needs a quite place to stay far distance from crowds!!

Wiffi

Coffee machine and 2 capsules in room on arrival. However when asked for tea bags was told they would cost an extra €1.30 per tea bag. very unhappy with this so refused to purchase them

Location.

Could be better if supporting the coffee machine capsula each day and not 2 for all vacation. Very narrow minded on that . Many insects need to better termination.

Clean and spacious

Bit outdated inside and the information booklet needs updating as there is no BBQ option like it advertises

Great exclusive small resort at one of the best beaches of Algarve. One of the best kept secrets. Fantastic restaurant and service. Will come back ! Loved it..

Beautiful location! Access to almost private beach. Unobstructed views of the ocean. If you seek solitude and love to be around picturesque places then this is the place

Everything was fabulous

Established grounds, beautiful views, respectable guests, lovely accommodation and pool areas.

Restaurant needs updating and menu expensive for so little choice and value for money poor.

The breakfast was very good. With the fresh cheese + tomatoes and virgin olive oil we were off to a good start. The fresh fruit was delicious and only seldom do you experience such great selection of pineapple, mango and papaya. Other cheeses were also better than average while the bread selection was not great the croissants were good. The tee was average (simple quality tea bags) but the coffee from the coffee machine was alright. It is not quite a five star breakfast but all in all really good. And yes, they mostly had sufficient supply of pasteis de nata! The staff was very kind and helpful. It is very nice to sit outside on the restaurant terrace with the sea view but on windy days there is regrettably no sun protection. A great setting for evening dinners. We enjoyed the spacious apartment with two bedrooms and plenty of available space. The garden in between the villas is splendid! It was such a treat just to walk between the buildings and enjoy the beautifully kept garden. The pool area has a wonderful view. It is not a particularly large pool but OK for light swim exercises. There are several beaches within walking distance but they can be hard to reach and you always have the potential danger of falling rocks along this coast. To walk along this coast is a wonderful experience. Such a wonderful landscape.

The room was a bit dated in style but it still had its own charm. The bathroom could need an upgrade though. In particular we missed a better and more spacious shower (and not in the bath tub). Overall the buildings look better on the outside than on the inside.

Great location on the coast. Comfy villas and beautiful facilities.

Our room was not ready till 16.00. The receptionist did not send a golf car to help us with our luggage during check out.

Location. I general we love Algarve.

Wi-Fi can certainly be improved

The location, the atmosphere, the gardens and the proximity to nature

The organisation of the SPA

Beautiful and close to beach

Nothing

Awesome place and very secluded...which we liked!

Nothing

Beautiful area, beach front

Modern villas, beautiful architecture

Brilliant place highly recommended, breakfast was very nice. Coastal walk path right next to property. Stunning beach

Amazing place!!! The staff is very nice and helpful. They really took good care of us and made our days there unforgettable. We couldn’t ask for more.

I've been to Suites Alba before with my mum and wanted to take my boys. It certainly didn't disappoint. The location is marvellous if you like (comparatively) unspoiled beauty, the resort is just lovely with plenty of room in our suite to spread out. The breakfasts are fabulous, with something for every taste and plenty of it. And the staff are just so friendly and welcoming. As for dining in the restaurant at night, it's pricey but that's only right since it's top-class food (my husband was in ecstasy).

Very nice location away on a cliff. Spacious and clean rooms. Very well maintained garden with nice swimming pools.

It’s amazingly good place to spend a romantic gateway

Location, family suites, pool and spa

Beautiful place, friendly staff, great breakfast, beautiful location and convenient to get to from the airport. It was also an incredible deal in February.

nothing to dislike

The location was very peaceful, excellent views, suites were exceptionally clean with everything you needed. Will certainly go back.

Not being able to use the indoor pool without a bathing cap so didn't use it at all.

Everything is perfect except the location.it is a little bit hard to find the hotel.but after u check in.u will find out a paradise

Amazing breakfast, the egg tarts were especially delicious. Great staff. They helped us with hiring scooters and gave us information about the areas. They were always very helpful. The best part is the location. The beach just next to the hotel is so gorgeous! Waking up to see the sunrise and sunsets in the evenings were major highlights of our trip. The rooms are so spacious. It's like having your own house. We were two friends and had loads of fun. There is a functional kitchen as well, in case you wish to cook something light. The spa was amazing as well. We enjoyed the free spa services as well as the spa package. Highly recommended. Would definitely go back to this beautiful resort. Please don't miss out on the beach next to the resort. It looks small from the top but is really a hidden gem.

The bar is very small and the area around the resort after dark hours is a bit remote. But if you're driving that shouldn't be a problem. The roads close to the resort are very narrow, so hiring a very big vehicle could be troublesome.

overall ambience and the exceptional location.

I really loved this wonderful, beautiful place. The staff is so caring and friendly. My stay at the resort was a relaxing mixture of great food, the lovely coastline, horse back riding and spa. Really wonderful.

Nothing to complain about.

The breakfast it is delicious (high quality) The environment it is beautiful The house it is very well equiped

nothing... everything is good

Honestly, we had a perfect trip with Suites Alba Resort and Spa. Before, during and after our stay the staff were so helpful and accommodating to all of our needs. Especially Flavia, one of the managers at the hotel, she was so lovely and made our stay comfortable and relaxed. It was low season so there weren't many people, but it was perfect. We had a two bedroom villa with a fireplace, kitchen and bath tub. We didn't leave the room much! And when we did, the location couldn't have been more convenient. We love hiking so we went on a long walk along the beach to Benagil where we came across some nice restaurants and sites. Would 100% recommend and come again.

Nothing

Spacious two-bedroom suite with separate living area and kitchen. We had good Christmas eve dinner and good breakfast as well. The beach nearby is just beautiful. Wish we had more time to spend.

Good place, with nice view and good furniture. Nice sandy beach. Good restaurant and room service. Big parking place

Price little bit high, due was taken additional money for children. Usually children are free if sleep on existing beds. Road to hotel little bit tricky due a lot of places which suits for one car only. Little bit cold in the changing room in the Spa.

Staff are very nice, lovely people

Indoor swimming pool are quite small

Perfect quiet location. Very friendly staff.

Just perfect everything The breakfast perfect, rooms big and comfortable, inside pool warm wather. And the place is just better like in photos

NOTHING

Excellent place to stay with all required facilities in the flat.

Transport could be daunting if car is not hired as this is far from any main place.
