9.8/10 Exceptional! (88 reviews)

I can’t say enough great things Vila da Santa! Excellent, helpful, friendly (especially Javier) staff! The restaurant is top tier! Food, service, ambience, and decor. The location is perfect. On the beach and most everything else a short walk. And the breakfast can’t be beat! So many delicious options! Would absolutely recommend!

9.2/10 Wonderful! (433 reviews)

Breakfast menu was unparalleled. So many options on the buffet, all delicious, and the menu items are prepared to perfection. The staff is warm, attentive and kind. The property is beautiful, with superb design and attention to details, surrounded in lush greenery. The pool area is so luxurious, we didn't want to leave it. I would heartily recommend.
