Vila Baleira Suites

The suites are located on southern beach ***** of the island, accessible by 2 buses or a taxi from the ferry port. Staff was very friendly, although not always aware of things when we asked some questions, but they did endeavour to find out. The bathroom does not have an exhaust fan, and needs some work and the rooms could do with some fresh paint. But overall very nice and comfortable, clean large outdoor pool, plenty of send beds, and umbrellas and beds directly on the beach with lifeguard on duty. The breakfast was tasty too with plenty of options. Would stay again

I am currently enjoying my last full day at the hotel with my family. It was the ideal location and hotel to spend family holidays with a 3-year old toddler. The hotel itself is conveniently located a few meters away from the beach. The apartments were renovated recently and are well equipped with 2 lcd big screen tvs and AC. The bed itself is super comfortable and there’s a sofa bed which is handy. All of the ambience is super relaxed and calm. All of the staff at the reception, bars and restaurant is very friendly and welcoming, always doing their best to accommodate their guests. Just to give one example, one of the pool bar attendants went to the breakfast kitchen (which was closed in the afternoon) just to get a yogurt for our toddler. We also had an issue with our room and were promptly given the option to move. The meals are one of the best things in this hotel. Every lunch there are freshly grilled fish and meat options by the pool. They also have other a-la-carte options throughout the day. Dinner is superb, every night a different 3 course gourmet meal, served at the restaurant. They cater different meals for the kids as well, if necessary. The all inclusive plus option is definitely worthy, because it gives us access to all of this and much more, like access to the spa, sun beds at the beach and late checkout (still to be seen tomorrow). For those who look for more animation and fun, there’s full access to the Vila Baleira Hotel which is at a walking distance. I definitely will recommend Vila Baleira Suites to my friends and family, and hope to return in the future.

Me and my family stayed at Vila Baleira Suites in an 'All Inclusive Plus' scheme, between the 14th and the 21st of August. It was great. We give 5 stars to the reception support and to the waiters at the restaurants in Vila Baleira Suites. Dinners at Restaurant Grão, with 'Menu Degustação ' were absolutely supperb. Some parts of the hotel have been redecorated and look great. Corridors and bedrooms still need to be improved. In any case, bedrooms are acceptable with minimum confort.

Very quiet because it was the shoulder season. This meant a few amenities weren't available (restaurant closed so no breakfast or dinner options for example). Location is removed from town but beachfront was completely empty as a result. If you want peace and quiet, this is the place.

Great hotel right on the beach, accommodating staff, amazing beach, small supermarket on the premises with surprisingly affordable prices. Overall a great experience!

Lovely place to stay, great views and right on beach. Hotel have free shuttle to restaurants around the island, would definitely stay again, dream destination.

Amazing staff, amazing place

Outdated and expensive. Funny smell in bathroom, doors not closing.

Great access to the beach, friendly atmosphere and great staff.
