The property is nice and clean with good buffet option. Since we stayed in the apartment block we didn't experience the hollow walls or the loud corridor noise which many other guests had complained about. A big shout out to our cleaning lady named Sonya, who did an excellent job. She even checked on us if we needed new towels when we had the do-not-disturb sign on.There is free parking on property (12 spots) and on street all around. Pretty safe to park.The beach which is a block away is a tiny bay beach, so no waves and full of algae. If not for the bad check-in experience, I would have given this place a 5 star rating. I would not stay here again due to the bad first impression at check-in.

Horrible Check-in experience -- on arrival to the Vibra Riviera hotel, we were told by the manager named Beatrice that we cannot check in as the number of guests exceeded the max allowed for the 2 bedroom apartment that we had booked for 5 adults and 3 kids aged 5,6 and 9. She was rude and was not ready to listen or willing to see the confirmation email we had received from booking.com (that's where we had made this reservation), stating the updated number of guests as 8. This email was dated June 6, more than a month before arrival date at hotel. She had printed a portion of my communication with hotel stating the policy of 6 guests per room but didnt print the relevant portion which said that we should contact booking.com to make any changes to the reservation, which we had done successfully. Ofcourse all her front desk staff was singing her tune and told us that they cannot help and we need to contact booking.com. Imagine the experience after flying in from Lisbon and told that there is no room for us with 3 young and tired kids. We left the property and called booking.com and spoke to the agent who tried to reach Beatrice who was unavailable at the time so the agent promised us to follow up shortly and resolve the issue. To help expedite the resolution we drove back to the hotel again and this time we were told that we can check in. Apparently booking.com had gotten hold of the manager and told her that she was wrong and asked her to accommodate us with an additional room or additional bed. Beatrice never came to us to apologize for the way she handled the situation. Clearly someone had dropped the ball. What was more appalling was when I had asked the front desk agent for her manager's name, she refused to give it to me. Only when I pressed her that I'm going to find out anyways, she complied. So it's not only Beatrice who needs some training in customer service, but her staff too..

difficult to park at times.

Excellent value for money, location was brilliant only a 2 minute walk from the beach. Quiet location but with plenty of amenities nearby. The hotel had 3 pools which we loved!

Nothing. If I’m being picky the apartments could do with some renovations they don’t appear as new as the pictures but still comfortable and spacious!

The manager at Apartamentos Vibra Riviera is fantastic he went above and beyond to assist me with the issues experienced during my stay. The staff are helpful and pleasant... he is like a 5 star hospitality/ hotel manager stuck in a 3 star establishment - he deserves a nicer place to run

They need to look into their cleaners...check what they do and how thorough they are. I went with a group and ended up with a room that smelt so badly of urine I could smell it as soon as the apartment door was opened. The bathroom smelt so bad it stunk out the whole apartment and the smell was so strong I couldn't sleep. I complained about it as soon as I arrived (1:30am!) and was told the place was fully booked so they couldn't do anything until the next morning. The bathroom door was faulty and when I closed it to keep the smell away it was stuck jammed for at least 10 minutes. whilst the bathroom appeared relatively clean to the eye...the smell was stomach churning. When I went to lay down..the sheets smelt like someone had slept in them and the bed sheets hadn't been changed (sweaty smelly feet). Poor cleaning in rooms and laundry...however the other member of my group, no smelly room..but did also have smelly stale sheets. The manager changed my room and sheets (that smelt fresh and clean) were put on the beds in my new room, so rhey did fix my problem but that was a terrible start to my holiday and there really is no excuse for a room and sheets smelling foul.

apartments were brilliant. very roomy. can’t complain at all. pools were good. we only had breakfasts there and plenty of choice for 10euros.

liked it all.

The apartment was lovely!! Very spacious, clean and modern. The receptionist were all absolutely lovely and super super helpful.

Absolute nothing!
