Agua Hotels Vila Branca

A really lovely stay! The hotel is located in a quiet, safe area but only a 15 minute walk to the old town. We walked this twice most days and found it to be fine. Ubers are also extremely cheap if needed. Staff were professional, helpful and friendly. Very clean but some cleaning staff who cleaned our apartment each day were definitely better than others. Our apartment was modern, bright and incredibly spacious. AC worked well. Great to have two bathrooms and two bedrooms rather than having to use a sofa bed in a living room. Huge fridge & freezer. Great to have a balcony. Very handy having two pools. Lovely waterfall shower. Great supermarket just across the road which we loved. Airport transfers well organised. Grounds are really well kept and very clean.

Hotel is located at the end for dead end road, thanks to which there are only guests cars. Are a lot of parking spots, always easy to find one close to the bungalow. Hotel surroundings are clean, well maintained and modern. Swimming pools under the palms were cool, nice to take some rest and cool down from the sun. Our room was quite big, with a big bathroom, step-in shower. All new and modern, including AC. It was clean and kept that way during the whole stay. I liked the idea of custom dinners, e.g. a barbecue evening where you would pay fixed price and eat whatever you want.

Spacious, light and airy apartment which was always spotlessly cleaned each day. Breakfast was plentiful and very good. The Italian restaurant in the hotel was excellent. The staff were always smart, professional and friendly. The pools were clean and well maintained. Hotel was close to a good local supermarket.

The apartment was quite spacious, very clean, the hygiene team called several times during our stay. The breakfast was great value for money, €10, a grood selection of food and drinks. The location was also good, only a 15 minute walk to the beach, all down hill. There is a supermarket nearby. The complex rented out both beach and pool towels for €10 which was refunded when you returned them, the same applied to hairdryers.

The location is superb, within walking distance to a coastal cliff, perfect for watching sunsets and moonrises. The apartment is nice, with a pleasant swimming pool and quiet, friendly neighbors. The balcony is great to enjoy the breeze in the evening. Apartment is simple but comfortable and spacious, with a helpful staff. We had an issue with the Wi-Fi, but the staff offered us an upgraded apartment as a solution.
