Murdeira Village Resort

Das ist das schlechteste Hotel, in dem ich je übernachtet habe. Es ist auf keinen Fall ein 4-Sterne-Hotel. Ich war in einem 3-Sterne-Hotel, das einen viel besseren Service und eine viel bessere Qualität hatte. Das Personal ist sehr nett, aber das Hotel ist leider Mist. Das Frühstück war jeden Morgen kalt, nichts im Hotel funktionierte, es gab kein Bügeleisen zum Bügeln der Kleidung, die Klimaanlage funktionierte nicht, das Telefon im Zimmer funktionierte nicht, Kühlschrank und Wasserkocher waren kaputt, Ameisen stecken in uns die Betten. Sie haben keine Unterhaltung, die Getränke und das Essen waren nicht gut und um das Ganze noch schlimmer zu machen, haben sie die Frechheit, den Leuten eine Zimmersteuer zu berechnen. Bleiben Sie diesem Hotel fern, wenn Sie auf der Suche nach dem Nötigsten sind. Eines Nachts fiel sogar der Strom aus, als ich aufstehen musste, um auf die Toilette zu gehen.

Das war einfach schlecht. Das Zimmer sah auf den ersten Blick großartig aus, aber auf der Terrasse flackerte das Licht – das würde laut Rezeptionistin sofort repariert werden, wurde aber nie repariert), die Fernbedienung des Fernsehers war ohne Batterien (das konnten sie reparieren), die erste (kalte) Dusche führte zu zwei Folgen kaputte Teile (Handtuchhalter und Dusche selbst fielen herunter). Dann war da noch der Rest: In der Informationsbroschüre hieß es, dass die Reservierung von Poolbetten nicht erlaubt sei... nun ja, alle hatten „einige“ Reservierungsmarkierungen wie Hüte/Handtücher/anderes Zeug, aber die meisten davon wurden nie benutzt Es gab also das typische lästige Reservierungssystem, das Personal griff nicht ein und ließ los, so dass man sich nur mit etwas Arroganz einen Platz in der Nähe des Schwimmbades sichern konnte. Und dann das Essen. Wir bestellten Pizza, sicher waren sie Minuten zuvor gefroren. Das Frühstück bestand auch nur aus aufgewärmten Konserven. Und das Lustige ist, dass die Zimmer zwar mit Teetassen und Teebeuteln, aber ohne Wasserkocher ausgestattet sind. Wir haben gefragt, sie würden es arrangieren... aber das haben wir natürlich nie getan.

Our second accommodation on the island after Santa Maria. Murdeira Village is the place for peace and quiet, no music in the daytime anywhere… heaven! Our room was at the back of the village, giving us sunshine on the balcony in the morning, out of the wind, plastic furniture is tiny and broken on the balcony, we used the sitting room chairs. The room is big, well maintained, very basic, not really a kitchenette we only had two odd glasses, two odd tiny cups and we had to ask for a kettle. The Fridge is tired but ok, no cooking facilities. No aircon needed for sleeping, I could feel the springs in the bed, slept on a duvet thing did help. Lovely fresh cotton sheets every couple of days. Laundry very clean and the room was cleaned everyday. Blackout curtains. That sand does get everywhere! The shower is very good if you have it before everyone else. A small shop down the road. There is rocky Sandy walks up and down the coast from the village. Average temp was 25 degrees, perfect. Evening cooler and sleep able. Our air cushions came in handy on the sun loungers, there are not enough sun loungers round the pool but we managed to get some most days. The sun loungers are homemade wood and not the ones on the website, no loungers on the beach as in the website images. The cushions mats are spilt and tired but they are comfy if you get out of the wind. Would be great to have loungers on the beach or beach chairs and wind breaks. More wind here as it is exposed, the cove bay is swimmable when the sea is less rough. Some coral and fish here, we did snorkel and you can sea turtles. The hotel beach bar / restaurant and beach bar has good food. We had the b&b options, one of everything off the breakfast list. Dried French bread jams and butter, egg (how you like them), fruit salad, yogart, a ham and cheese sandwich (good for lunch). The pool is busy at weekend. Sunset most nights, depending on the amount of sand in the air. We hailed the local bus at the roundabout into Santa Maria, €1.20 each, cozy hiace vans, very friendly and wonderful people. Very easy to get back too.

Can’t give a review about the hotel, but for the Pool Bar, Baia Murdeira restaurant and Nautical base, and those 3 are just perfect, very friendly team, good and tasty food (from burger to xmas dinner) . Thank you to all of you, I spent a great time with you!! 5*++

all inclusive at half board level. On the hotel beach 4 (four words)! wooden deckchairs and 6 umbrellas... Difficult entry into the ocean over rocks - water shoes required. Overall a boring place - nothing to do here. Older equipment of the apartment. The staff seem to pretend they are there for punishment.

As other travelers have mentioned, I only can confirm this place isn’t really worth the money. We first booked two rooms directly with the hotel but have been told there are no rooms left. Yet on Agoda and Booking still were, so we booked them from there. Once arrived we were not really sure we would get the rooms, given their confusing emails, and the lady at the reception was really rude and impolite, ignoring our questions and just laughing and asking for the money. The two rooms (80$ each) were with no breakfast, at the very end of the village, last row, parallel to the highway Esparagos-Santa Maria. Tea bags available but no kettle. All very clean but shower broken, towels worn out, mini fridge terribly noisy and no way to plug it out. Terrace dirty and yeah, I understand u have 500 rooms to clean but hey, we are paying 😄 Swimming pool near this “restaurant” with really unpleasant staff; they asked us to order at the bar, the bar told us to order at the restaurant, they argued, in the and almost obligated us to pay 15€ and find something heated up in the -almost gone- buffet. Anything we pointed on the menu was “finish” or “tomorrow “ , accompanied by a laugh. As my mum suffers from diabetes and HAD to eat something, they agreed for a panini but 15 min later brought a salad… The FOUR,4!, wooden long chairs on the beach are a joke:) Still, if u enjoy wild beaches and do not need un umbrella, head left or right along the cost and you will find a better place. Also: they charge 15€ for a taxi to anywhere, but just exit the village, wait a bit on the main road and vans will stop and safely bring u for 1€ anywhere.
