Villas d'Água Beachfront Resort

This hotel is unfortunately not finished and has a serious problem when it comes to bird excrement from seagulls who have claimed some of the properties. The apartment itself was great and modern and clean but the stairs are dangerous as there is no handrail on the lower part and they are slippery tile. The patio doors are also terrible as they don’t actually lock and the shutters are very hard to open. The balcony upstairs also has a large gap where a child could fall through so we had to put our daughter downstairs and my wife slept upstairs on the sofa bed. We only had housekeeping twice in the week (once being our final night which was strange) even though it listed daily housekeeping. There is no pool bar as listed but it wouldn’t matter as the mess and pool is disgusting you do not want to be near it. I have never in all my years travelling witnessed such a mess from wildlife and the smell was revolting. We did flag with the hotel and they attempted to clean it but the swimming pool itself is so dirty it is a health hazard. I over heard a guest say “is there fish in here as it smells fishy”. This could be an amazing place but not at the moment and needs a lot of work and staff to be acceptable as a hotel. The sunbeds are fabric and are not cleaned so you are sitting on beds that other people have lay on, they have to cover the beds at night to prevent the birds relieving themselves on them. I will say the staff are so lovely and pleasant and they were very apologetic.
