Pousada Vila do Beco

Great would recommend all my friends to stay here!

Stayed here for three nights with family and friends. Despite it being a bank holiday, the room rates were reasonable. The good: Location is perfect for the nightlife and restaurants but so quiet at the same time that you don’t believe the village is round the corner. It’s a bit of a walk down to the beach and the climb back is a bit of a challenge in the heat. The Mucuge beach is a bit busy with a lot of beach restaurants but we walked towards Pitinga beach and it was much quieter and nicer. Parador 7 was our favourite place to eat and drink - see my separate reviews on them. Inn’s buildings and rooms are charming, with wood, hammocks, fruit trees, birds etc and swimming pool is lovely. View of the coast is spectacular. Our bedroom was very spacious and clean, it had great storage too. We were close to the pool area which was very quiet at night. Front desk staff very helpful and kind. Housekeeping very efficient too. The ‘need to improve’: Pool area: more umbrellas and sun loungers needed, there aren’t enough. Despite having some nice wooden tables and chairs, the majority are plastic tables and chairs give the place a ‘cheap look’. Breakfast: poor selection, a bit repetitive, servers not very proactive, quality of some products not great. This place has potential with a few adjustments it could be wonderful.
