We will return, very good service and good food and charming staff. A couple of points, one is that out of season which this was although the price did not reflect this only one or two restaurants on the resort were open which was frustrating and often fully booked.  It did feel like a `soft opening` in advance of the season there was much building works happening and quite noisy. Next time we would choose to go in May or June when hopefully all facilities are open and all restaurants on offer.

The best hotel in Portugal…

Vila Vita is probably my most favourite place to go. From the minute you arrive you relax. The staff cater for your every need nothing is too much trouble. It has become a second home for myself and my family. This time I took my daughter and she also fell in love with Vila Vita. I am sure we will return as soon as we can. Thank you Travelbeam for suggesting this gorgeous place to us.
