A really lovely stay! The hotel is located in a quiet, safe area but only a 15 minute walk to the old town. We walked this twice most days and found it to be fine. Ubers are also extremely cheap if needed. Staff were professional, helpful and friendly. Very clean but some cleaning staff who cleaned our apartment each day were definitely better than others. Our apartment was modern, bright and incredibly spacious. AC worked well. Great to have two bathrooms and two bedrooms rather than having to use a sofa bed in a living room. Huge fridge & freezer. Great to have a balcony. Very handy having two pools. Lovely waterfall shower. Great supermarket just across the road which we loved. Airport transfers well organised. Grounds are really well kept and very clean.

Sun loungers could do with being updated. Balcony furniture could be better as it was old & a bit grubby & doesn’t really match the modern feel of the apartment.

Great stay at Vila Branca, we had a one bedroom apt and it was huge! Clean and spacious with all kitchen facilities, except an oven. Everything looked very new. Reception staff very helpful, rooms serviced daily with a mid-week change of towels. Very peaceful area with 2 pools to choose from. About a 20 min walk to Lagos city centre with some hills, not ideal in the heat but we had a car. Convenient small supermarket just across the road. Would stay again and definitely recommend!

Very few sunbeds and the ones that were available were old and tatty, some even broken. Need replacing urgently. Hotel guests should not be allowed to reserve, most had towels on them by 8.30am! Not a problem for us as we went down to the pool in the afternoon after sightseeing, but not very fair. No clothes drying rack in the balcony, not ideal. Note that hairdryers are only available at reception for a €20 deposit. Take your own travel one like I did! Pool towels also require a deposit. Bed and sofa bed a bit hard for our liking but not a problem, would not stop me from staying there again

Hotel is located at the end for dead end road, thanks to which there are only guests cars. Are a lot of parking spots, always easy to find one close to the bungalow. Hotel surroundings are clean, well maintained and modern. Swimming pools under the palms were cool, nice to take some rest and cool down from the sun. Our room was quite big, with a big bathroom, step-in shower. All new and modern, including AC. It was clean and kept that way during the whole stay. I liked the idea of custom dinners, e.g. a barbecue evening where you would pay fixed price and eat whatever you want.

The only thing I missed was lack of vegetables for breakfast - at least there should be some tomatoes, cucumbers or salads available. The custom dinner could be better announced, e.g. like the drink of the day on the stand in front of the reception/restaurant.

Very reasonably priced and included breakfast. Breakfast was small but there was a little hot selection included. Staff were friendly and helpful. 25 minute walk into the old town/marina area or bus available from near the hotel. Walking in the opposite direction takes you to the coastal boardwalk. Fridge and safe available in the room. Room was very spacious.

Facilities are very basic, no toiletries except for hand soap. No kettle or tea/coffee making facilities. Not necessarily a bad thing, just an fyi really, but the room is not in the same building as the reception area. You have to walk out of the building to get to your room on the grounds.

Spacious, light and airy apartment which was always spotlessly cleaned each day. Breakfast was plentiful and very good. The Italian restaurant in the hotel was excellent. The staff were always smart, professional and friendly. The pools were clean and well maintained. Hotel was close to a good local supermarket.

It was approx 20 mins walk to the town or beach (however this did mean it was a nice quiet location) but it wasn’t a problem for us. There were some hotels being built nearby and there were cranes working on them. It wasn’t noisy at all but did spoil our view from the room a bit (obviously not the hotels fault and it certainly didn’t stop us enjoying our stay!)

The hotel was approx 20 mins walk to the local beaches which were lovely. The apartment was clean and spacious, had everything you needed Pool area was as it appears in the photos. We didn't use the restaurant as we went to the old town in the evenings which is approximately 30 mins walk or €4 taxi. There is a small supermarket very close to hotel which has fresh bread/other essentials/fruit etc. Would stay here again, good value for money.

The safe in our room was broken prior to our arrival, and although we raised this with reception this was not fixed during our stay. Deposit needed for iron / board

The apartment was quite spacious, very clean, the hygiene team called several times during our stay. The breakfast was great value for money, €10, a grood selection of food and drinks. The location was also good, only a 15 minute walk to the beach, all down hill. There is a supermarket nearby. The complex rented out both beach and pool towels for €10 which was refunded when you returned them, the same applied to hairdryers.

Only a small complaint, the couch was a little bit uncomfortable to sit on.

Lovely clean,modern and spacious apartment with bedroom,kitchen and sitting area and balcony. Apartment has, all necesary amenities. Bathroom is big. We enjoyed our stay.

Hairdryer,iron or drying rack would be handy. Also paper kitchen towels and brand new dishes spongie would be great but would rather prefer a dishwasher.

The location is superb, within walking distance to a coastal cliff, perfect for watching sunsets and moonrises. The apartment is nice, with a pleasant swimming pool and quiet, friendly neighbors. The balcony is great to enjoy the breeze in the evening. Apartment is simple but comfortable and spacious, with a helpful staff. We had an issue with the Wi-Fi, but the staff offered us an upgraded apartment as a solution.

The service could be improved. We were a bit surprised that the welcoming card in our apartment did not have our names on it. However, this was not a big issue. And we booked an apartment for a swimming pool view ,but the apartment is in the ground floor, the pool view is a bit limited.

The room is very spacy and has a small refrigerator. The first thing in the room description was a safe, but we didn't have one (it was ok though) Amazing big shower Many parking slots We gladly used one of the swimming pools Very close to the nearby breathtaking beaches and to the village center too

Some comfortable basics were missing, like a cup for brushing teeth. But all in all it was a very pleasant stay. In lots of reviews I read that the breakfast is perfect and has a lot to offer, but in my opinion it was very basic, no changes, and no some much choice. To get the hair dryer, we had to leave 20 euros deposit at teh reception. Same goes for the pool towels.
