Villa VIK - Hotel Boutique

This is a very quiet and tranquil hotel no hustle or bustle. Just the place t o recharge your batteries. There is a lovely sea front very close to the hotel and one can walk briskly or stroll towards the town. The staff are always trying to please you and make your stay enjoyable. The menu , though limited is nicely cooked and presented. Sadly some of the guests smoked in the semi enclosed area near the dining room.

Spent 4 nights here and really enjoyed it. Staff couldn't do enough for us and despite a few previous negative reviews about the food, we found it to be tasty and well presented. Breakfast was excellent, evening meal choices were however usually limited to 3 starters and 3 mains - no surprise in an hotel of just 14 rooms though! Our bedroom was well appointed and the free Wi-Fi in both bedrooms and reception area worked well. Our twice-daily maid service was thorough and our room was kept spotlessly clean. Choice of TV channels was poor - but not a deal-breaker for us. You definitely need a car when staying here as there is little within walking distance to visit. As stated, the hotel is situated in a residential area, so may not be for everyone.

We were fortunate to have been allocated the best room In the hotel which was beautiful and spacious with a fantastic balcony and jacuzzi looking out across the garden to the sea. All the staff were eager to please and warm and friendly. The decor was complimented with interesting and aesthetically pleasing art. Whilst the menus were limited in choice the quality was good for the size of hotel. The free bike hire was an unexpected benefit too.

Staff were always willing and smiling.Nothing was too much trouble. Hotel is very comfortable.

Being such a relatively small Hotel it was like staying in a private Villa. In a quiet residential location the skillfully laid out poolside areas allow privacy or a more communal experience where you can chat with other guests if you so desire. The staff are good humoured and friendly and made one feel very at ease, the service good but relaxed without the tip seeking over attentiveness one can experience elsewhere. Worth the slightly higher price for an up market experience.

Very pleasant small hotel - more of a 'villa with staff'.

Wonderful staff & personal service. Quiet location & perfect if you want to get away from the hustle & bustle, but plenty of bars & restaurants within walking distance. However, although indicated as 5 star it is not that and I think someone used to 5-star hotels would come away disappointed, but it is a very good 4-star. The one area that does let the hotel down is the food, it is of a pretty poor standard and you are better off just having breakfast and then eating out

Not truly a 5 star but very good4 need to upgrade the menu

Hotel has only 14 rooms all excellently maintained and cleaned daily including new sheets etc and towels. Towels were also changed in the evening if used. Small staff, very discreet, and capable. Excellent meals with choice of 4 starters, 3 mains and 4 desserts including cheese. Wine and drinks reasonably priced, clearly displayed on the wine list. Excellent local wines also available. Recommended. Gardens and pool area well maintained although the jacuzzi was not filled, not a problem for us. Clean beach towels laid out each morning on the numerous sunbeds. Drinks served around the pool during the day. Although a bus could be taken to either the local capital town or beach area and tours could be arranged by the hotel, a car proved much more practical for sight-seeing, again arranged by the hotel.

The hotel is remote. It is a brisk 25 minute walk into Arrecife and a 30 minute walk in the opposite direction to Playa Honda. There are no bars or places any nearer than this. The hotel itself lacks any atmosphere, albeit the rooms and general setting are acceptable, but certainly not five star. Breakfast is poor, we had no bread for toasting or beans until we complained. Evening menu is restricted with a choice of three dishes only, often two fish and one meat. Quality of food was average. The staff were pleasant but obviously under pressure as management visited one day with a letter of complaint which seemed to put them all on edge.
