Murdeira Village Resort

I spent 10 days at this hotel while traveling alone. Overall, everything went well. The pool is saltwater and is cleaned every evening, though the surroundings are a bit dated. The room wasn’t spotless, but it was generally clean, and the bedding was okay. A minor downside is the Wi-Fi, which rarely worked in the room. However, it’s of good quality at the reception and in the restaurant. The restaurant (I was on half-board) offers classic European food (pasta, pizzas, burgers, omelets, etc.) along with two different meat dishes each evening. Breakfasts are very good. The staff is very friendly, though I did have an uncomfortable experience with one waiter who was a bit intrusive, making me uneasy despite my refusals to 'get friendly' with him. But all the other people working at the hotel and restaurant were very professional, caring and friendly. There are security guards who patrol during the day and night, which is quite reassuring. There’s a shuttle to Santa Maria twice a day, but it would be nice if there was an extra trip in the mid-afternoon.

No hot water most of the time. Tv works sometimes Everything closed at 10 and until morning cant drink or eat anything . The rooms are big but old fashion , no kettle. The Hotel is far way from everything . To buy anything we have to pay a taxi , santa maria is 8km away . Not a 4 star at all.

Oh dear. I try and put a positive spin on most of the places I review. Maybe I should just say that being here a day is too long. We were out of here ASAP. Nothing good about food, accomodation, care from staff, architecture, and upkeep. Some views are ok. It you decide to stick out out here, a cab to town is 12 euros and you can stay as long as you like.
