This hotel is a very good standard compared to others similarly priced around the same area. We stayed in studio room 142 in third block and we could not believe the size of the space. By far one of the biggest studio rooms I have stayed in. Our balcony had sunlight in the morning and was shaded in the afternoon, this was ideal for us given the temp was +30 most days. The only thing I will say is like most hotels the rooms are not sound proof, we had a family stay next to us and could hear the baby cry early in the morning. This cant be helped though. The cleanliness of the hotel is also incredible. The cleaning staff seem to work around the clock. The pool area is large and has plenty of beds for all. We never had a problem in securing two beds regardless what time of the day we went to the pool. The only thing missing from the pool area was entertainment, I think it would be great to play a bit of music around the pool area all day, not just when the entertainment team are there. We ate in the snack bar twice during our stay and were pleasantly surprised with the food. Would recommend the BLT! The hotel location is less than a 5 min walk to the strip where there are plenty of bars and restaurants. There is an Italian restaurant, Nosolo just before the strip, I would recommend going there for a nice meal. The old town is about a 7 min tax from the hotel which costs about €7. There is also an Aldi about 5 min walk from the hotel. All in all we had a great stay in Vila Petra and I will be returning again!

More music around the pool

Could not rate this place higher if I tried the entertainment staff and amazing they are the only people who have managed to get my 6 year old to get Involved they where patient and encouraging the girls generally care about each of the kids and appear to really enjoy their jobs. I can not find a fault with anything in this hotel its clean friendly and the staff will bend over backward. We loved it that much we ended up extending our trip a extra 2 nights cause we didn't want to leave. The price of drinks was reasonable I asked for a double pink gin and the bar staff told me I wouldn't need a double has they are strong enough therefore saving me money this is something you would not find anywhere else and I highly appreciated it the cocktails looked so good. We ate a few times at the hotel and the food was always freshly made and spot on.

The only thing I didnt like is that I had to leave

the hotel was impeccably clean and well kept, staff were friendly and helpful and made our stay so lovely. we stayed in a pool view one bed appt and it was good with our two boys. cots we’re provided free of charge and a high chair for the room.

our beds were uncomfortable and creaky, could probably do with new mattresses. the area around hotel seems to have been affected by Covid and a lot of businesses have closed down. it is a 40-45 minute walk to old town but you can get a taxi.

Just returned from a 7 night stay. We're a family of 4 with 2 older teenagers. We loved everything about Vila Petra! The staff are so welcoming and friendly, every part of the hotel is spotlessly clean, the entertainment team is brilliant. The location is great for accessing both the strip and Old Town, so there are plenty of places to eat. We stayed in a 2 bed room with a pool view, and it had absolutely everything you could think to need, including a tea towel. We spent a lot of time in the pool and loved that there was no rush to reserve sunbeds as this was not permitted or tolerated by the pool side staff. Entertainment was fun, and the personal favourite was the quiz (which we won). The Bellux team worked tirelessly to keep everyone engaged and do a brilliant job. The entire site was immaculately clean. The pool was cleaned every night, the grounds were kept in great condition, and our room was serviced with new towels and a full clean every day. Would 100% recommend Vila Petra, and we will be back!

Nothing to not like!

Our 2 bedroom apartment was spotlessly clean and perfect for a larger family. We were self catering but used the hotel restaurant sometimes, the buffet had a nice selection. Indoor swimming pool was handy, as in May the outdoor pool was a little bit too cold for my children. Hotel is in a great location just off the main strip, so easy to walk to shops, restaurants and mini supermarket. Entertainment staff were excellent offering lots of activities for children & adults. We really enjoyed the karaoke evening. Overall we had a great stay and would return.

The pillows weren't good, either quite hard or lumpy. However we did manage to sleep ok. More comfortable pillows would be an improvement.

Group booking so needed to pay deposits. Everyone received their deposits back with no issues. Breakfast was very good. Apartments were very spacious even with 4 people. Good atmosphere around the pool with the entertainers. Close enough to the strip to walk but far enough away that you don’t hear the noise. Very impressed with the hotel overall.

It was very clean and the apartment was spacious. we stayed early June and always plenty of sun loungers by the pool.

The bar by the pool opened late, around 12 or 12:30 and closed early around 5pm. it would be better if it stayed open like the pool opening hours. we had a room in our apartment that we didn’t use because it just had a couch in it, yet two of us had to sleep on sofa beds in the kitchen. it would be better to put two beds in that room instead of a couch.

I really liked the apartment, it was on the third floor over looking the pool. The apartment was spacious, clean and had all the facilities we needed. I also really like the pool. The staff were very friendly and the hotel had excellent facilities. The food at lunchtime was really good and I loved the morning yoga sessions under the trees. The kids had a really lovely time and loved the hotel.

The breakfast was good but there could have been more variety, it was pretty much the same thing everyday. The pool was great however we were told not to play with a ball in the pool, this was confusing because there was no sign saying it was prohibited. The sun loungers were a little uncomfortable. I think there could have been more evening entertainment. I particularly did not like been woken everyday at 3am by the cockerel that lives in the farm next door. I will be back when the cockerel is gone.

Well organised, friendly reception.Really nice atmosphere.A great place to relax and if you wanted some lively nightlife then that is close by as well.Really impressive pool and some great facilities available as well.

Struggling to think off anything.All my group complimented me on my choice of resort..but it's the resort that deserves the praise for the excellent way they run the resort and take a pride in their hotel.

Huge rooms, great staff and great value for money! Restaurants do really nice food, pool lovely and bars great! In a brilliant location!

You had to put a deposit down imminently when we arrived in cash only. This was early in the morning and they expected the money there and then - not really what you want. If there's an option to take card or even be a little bit more trusting to guests to pay the day after, that would be much better
