Many things have been written about the hotel location, building works ,scraping furniture etc..so won't repeat it all - except one thing - you must try to request a room that you want before departure-look at what people write here and decide what room/floor you want ,we changed rooms and we had room 116 with a view over the pool...

The location is spectacular. Across from a great little watering hole called Merlin's. The hotel is safe and clean just a little dated. But you don't come to the beach for the room. I think the bar when finished will be great. I like the pool but it is probably more crowded in the high season. If you want more... More

This was our second visit back to this hotel and we enjoyed it just as much. There was building work going on at the front of the hotel but this did not bother us at all. The location of the hotel is perfect - just a short stroll away from both the beach and the Square in the Old Town... More

We booked Mar A Vista but on arrival in the transfer bus we were told we had been moved! This infact turned out to be a good thing as the Mar A Vista was about 15mins walk further uphill from Vila Recife, which was only 5-10mins walk from the old town main square. If you have walking difficulties it may... More

My sister and I stayed here for a short break, got a very reasonable deal, fantastic location right in the Old Town, all staff were extremely helpful and when I forgot an item of clothing, I emailed them and they posted it to me without a problem! Its things like that that would give me no hesitation in staying there... More

We got such a great deal on this hotel paying 10euros pp per night room only. So to be honest I was terrified of what the place might be like. I was for the most part pleasantly surprised.Our room was clean with a view of the pool and old town square. The cleaner was excellent and we had fresh towels... More

Good value for money, basic breakfast in the morning but that is because the hotel is being refurbished @ £12 each per night you can't complain. The room was serviced everyday and the staff were great, we would stay again.

Popped over to Portugal for a five day break. Initially with a £450 budget. Ryan air got us there and a taxi firm got us to the Vila Recife. All in £115 ! So what was the hotel like ? Basic but spotless. In fact the cleaners were fantastic. Picking my clothes up and folding them neatly ! Sadly for... More
