Great apartment, which is very well equipped and has lovely views out to sea and the marina. The balcony is private without being overlooked. The old town is within easy reach - downhill all the way! Katalin and the management team are the perfect hosts meeting us at check-in and check-out.
Rooms are lovely and clean with good air conditioning, exactly as described. The pool was lovely and clean and the staff were attentive and happy to give us recommendations for places to eat etc. Perfect for a chilled weekend in the sun!
We stayed for 7 days at Vila Petra in January and overall it was a very enjoyable stay. The hotel is located at the less busy end of the Strip and the surroundings are quiet and pleasant.
The check-in was effortless and quick, and the email communication before arrival was helpful. The room was good in size with two single beds put together, a sofa (which could be changed to a sofa bed), a dining table with chairs, a separate well-equipped kitchen and bathroom. The covered balcony looked over the swimming pool, with a table and chairs for sitting outside.
The kitchen had a refrigerator (though with a tiny freezer compartment), microwave, oven, dishwasher, toaster, kettle, four hobs, crockery and cutlery, and a coffee machine. The room had a TV (with a few English channels), DVD player and AC. The rooms were cleaned on a daily basis and towels (including the kitchen towel) were changed on a daily basis. The bedsheets were changed once a week. The wifi was not working for the first day but the reception staff promptly responded to our compliant and the next morning the router was mended by the maintenance staff with no further problems with wifi.
The only criticism we had during our stay relates to the beds. The two single beds (on wheels) were not comfortable and we would have much preferred a double bed. The beds creaked a lot too and perhaps need to be looked at by the hotel.
The reception staff were always very nice and welcoming. We will highly recommend this hotel.
We have just come back from a 4 night stay at the hotel, and I can truly say it is one of the nicest hotels we have stayed in. The 1 bed room apartment over looking the golf course was amazing. The room was very modern, and the cleanliness was impeccable. The rooms have everything you need if you want to do your own cooking in the apartment, and the bed was so comfortable.
The hotel was located about a 20 minute walk to the marina, whilst this did not bother up at all, the taxis were only about 6 euros.
The only thing I would recommend, if you have a late check in, I would next time email the hotel in advance, and ask if they could leave some milk in the room, so you can have a hot drink for the morning. We did not realise this could be done.
The hotel staff were really helpful, and polite.
Excellent value for money, and should be a 5 star hotel.
We stayed here in August and loved it so much we returned again in October. Both times we had a wonderful stay, the hoyel was great and the staff were brilliant and very friendly and accommodating. We look forward to oir next visit
This was a fantastic choice of accomodation for our family of 4. Totqlly unexpected! How this is only a 3 star is beyond me. The apartment was spacious and well equipped and the resort was great, with several lovely pools. The walk to the beach was beautiful and a pleasure to do. We will definitely be coming again!
