What guests think

Travellers describe Vila Alba Resort as a scenic, quiet clifftop retreat with easy access to a small beach and coastal trails, appealing pools and spa, and generally spacious rooms, though its remote setting makes reaching other amenities and restaurants inconvenient.

Breakfast is frequently praised for quality and variety, while on-site dining is considered expensive and uneven, with some bland or incorrect dishes. Many note friendly staff, yet service and maintenance feel inconsistent, including dated areas, broken or missing pool items, a nonfunctioning jacuzzi, childcare supervision concerns, ignored do-not-disturb, and slow follow-ups. Some reviewers dispute the five-star claim or feel certain “ocean view” rooms are misrepresented. Expect a tranquil coastal base with memorable scenery and amenities, but variable dining and service.

This property is nicely tucked away near the coast. Was only a 45 min drive from Old town. There isn’t much around the resort so I recommend stopping at a grocery store beforehand to grab some snacks and maybe some sandwiches. There is one restaurant on the property but it is extremely over priced and everything we ordered came out wrong. Items were missing from our orders and seemed like they used left overs from breakfast. The front desk staff was excellent and very accommodating, so I was shocked at the lack of oversight in their restaurant. The resort was right next to the cliffs with beautiful views and a small beach. They have a salt water pool and regular pool which I thought was a nice touch. Aside from the restaurant, I enjoyed our stay. Would stay here again.

This is not a 5 star hotel. The service is almost non existent and the facilities are tired. The breakfast is extremely limited to the extent that we brought our own fresh vegetables from the supermarket. The kids club has no working toilet and the supervision is so poor that my 4 year old managed to leave alone and found us in the restaurant. There is no pool service and in order to get fresh towels you have to change them at reception. Half the sun beds are broken and missing their cushions. Our shower gel ran out 3 days before our leaving and was never replaced - instead we had to call every evening for some small bottles. It is a real shame because it is a stunning piece of real estate with incredible views. But we will certainly not return and discourage anyone who is considering staying.

The room were spacious and clean. The pool, restaurant and facilities in general were very good. The resort is quiet and welcoming. Unfortunately, we had an issue with out air-con turning off after a couple of hours, during the night this resulted in us waking up and having to reset it at least a couple of times. After the first night, we spoke to reception who said that it would be looked at. Unfortunately, this was just ignored resulting in uncomfortable nights. In general, the food on offer was of decent quality and a reasonable price. However, on one occasion we ordered a salad with prawns and received a quarter of an iceberg lettuce with 3 semi recently unfrozen (cooked) prawns. A complaint was made to the server who told us this is how it was - which was severely disappointing. On the positive side, we attended a wedding here and it was excellent - the staff were extremely attentive and couldn't be anymore helpful. Generally of an excellent standard.

Absolutely stunning location surrounded by nature and right on a lovely little beach. The on-site spa is free for gusts to use and was spotless, and three were three swimming pools to choose from. There was a wedding and quite a few families with young children during our stay but it never felt overcrowded and was very peaceful. We didn't have a car but it was very easy and cheap to order taxis to and from the hotel for day trips. The food at the restaurant was also really tasty! Overall a fabulous location, would highly recommend and would visit again.

They had a great design idea but poor execution or maintenance. Shower walls with mold and water build up inside, broken drain slab. All minor things, but it made this 5 star hotel feel like 4 stars. Food wasn't the greatest, but not bad. The only thing I was upset about was them ignoring the "do not disturb" sign, as they got in the room regardless to make the bed and touched our stuff that was on top of it. We were there for only 2 nights and didn't need room cleaning, so we kept the "do not disturb" sign on. Thankfully we weren't in the room when they came in, but I was still upset to find out they ignored the sign.
