“Selling it on the view, but not 5 star quality inside”

Reviewed June 4, 2012

We took a half board package with dinner. We had a wonderful welcome and a fabulous room with a view over the sea leading out onto the terrace and gardens. The room was average, but the bathroom is in serious need of updating. Shower curtains (that don't fit) in 5 star hotels in Europe is an absolute no no. The... More

“Portugese 4 star, American 2 star”

Reviewed March 20, 2012

They get an "A" for effort, but you'll fall in love with what Vila Joya could be, not what it is. Bottom line: 1) The room decor is out of date and feels cheap. The bathrooms are especially inconvenient with outdated plumbing. 2) The staff is top-notch. SUPER nice and accommodating. Food is excellent. 3) It feels like they're going... More

“A fantastic, spot, and the wine seller is a must...”

Reviewed March 12, 2012

Having travelled extensively throughout Europe, and notching up an incredible 21 stars last year, my palette for good food is demanding to say the vary least. I eat at Vila Joya last week with my partner, whist we were staying nearby on business. I am unable to comment on the bedrooms, but if the food is anything to go by... More

“EXCELLENT!!!”

Reviewed March 2, 2012

Having holiday'd in Barbados for over 30 visits we wanted to find somewhere nearer to the UK and get rid of the long haul flight. We went to VilaJoya for Sunday lunch whilst staying last year (2010) at the Villa Vermont, Quinta da Lago and Vila Joya enticed us back for a short 'taster' stay in November 2011 during which...

“Little piece of paradise”

Reviewed February 21, 2012

This is for sure one of the most special places in Portugal. Not only is still a different piece of Algarve, it has one of the best restaurants. We usually go for dinner on 29th August for my wedding anniversary and the endless number of courses in a delight for senses. The place with its priviledged location in the top... More

“Restaurant and staff: worth 5 stars easy. Rooms OK.”

Reviewed February 18, 2012

Many pluses here, a few minuses.... Let's get the minuses out of the way quickly: This is a very romantic place, though while we were on our honeymoon, I will admit that we felt 'underage' ... and we are not even the "go out and drink" type of young couple... we are much more low-key. So in some ways, this... More

“It really is Paradise!”

Reviewed November 6, 2011

They say 'welcome to paradise' and they are not wrong. The only 2 star Michelin Restaurant in Portugal in this really incredible and unique boutique hotel perched on a cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Their Spa is also outstanding and the staff ratio is unbelievable. I am going back for their Gourmet Festival in January where they host over 20... More

“Top notch beach resort”

Reviewed October 24, 2011

I've had the privilege of staying at a few beachside resorts in my time, and Vila Joya has the double distinction of being the best and the first located in Europe. The service is impeccable, bearing a crazy ratio of staff to guests, and the food is dazzling -- it's not for nothing that the place earned the only two... More
