Villa Vik was a great place for a peaceful holiday with excellent accommodation, food and staff. Swimming in the pool was a real pleasure. Our only reservation was that there were too few staff on duty; often it appeared that just one person had to set tables, staff reception and serve drinks at the bar / pool. They did so cheerfully and helpfully but were stretched.

Quiet, peaceful hotel.
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.

Relaxing Break
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.

Lovely boutique hotel with warm welcoming staff
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.

Very exclusive, a private villa with staff!
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.

Lovely private small hotel
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

Excellent hotel
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.
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.

Home from home
Staying at the Villa Vik is like being invited to the home of friends. The staff are very friendly and helpful, but unobtrusive. The food was excellent. The hotel is in an area of exclusive villas and there are no tourist amenities, but that suits us. We walked miles in both directions along the promenade. We will be booking to return soon.

Villa Vik-Tory a true gem and great fomat
Tend not to believe reviews, but in this case it was all true. Our stay was everything we wanted and more, hotel is private and staff superb in every aspect. Menu in Restraunt somewhat limited but adequate, wine excellent choice and fairly priced, try the local wines which where a nice surprise and great value. Will we return? a resounding yes!!!!

Sauber, gutes Essen und ruhige Lage sind die positiven Aspekte des Hotels. Leider beschränkt sich der Service darauf, daß den Gästen zu den Essenszeiten die Mahlzeiten serviert werden. Die Rezeption ist nie besetzt, für Checkin/-out und Fragen muss man nach Personal suchen. Die Steingartenanlage wurde von einem Gärtner in Ordnung gehalten, aber leider ist die Poolanlage in einem äußerst schlechten Zustand. Außerdem wird der Pool nicht geheizt und im zerschundenen Whirlpool befand sich kein Wasser.

Hotel muy tranquilo en una zona bien comunicada
El Hotel está en una urbanización muy cerca de la ciudad y de Arrecife. Con coche es muy fácil ir a cualquier dirección de la isla, estás muy bien comunicado. Es un hotel muy pequeño y tranquilo frecuentado por parejas. Dispone de una agradable piscina con un entorno muy cuidado. La cena es de buena calidad. El personal es super amable y atento con los huespedes. Si he de encontrar algún fallo es la decoración de la habitación, para mi un poco obsoleta y cargada. El desayuno también tiene una pega, los embutidos, son de poca calidad, aunque todo lo demás es muy bueno y te cocinan lo que te apetezca. Nuestra habitación era muy amplia y disponía de jacuzzi, aunque estaba un poco deteriorado. De todas formas no dudaría en volver a alojarme en este hotel, estuvimos muy comodos

FANTASTICO. PREZZO/QUALITA = OTTIMO
Fantastico Hotel Appena fuori del centro popolato ,a 50 metri dal mare è ben collegato alla rete urbanistica. Personale gentilissimo e disponibilissimo. Cucina più che degna di merito sia a colazione che a cena. Camere ben arredate in stile locale ma moderno; dotate di connessione internet buona, servizio in camera efficiente e rapido. Qualche piccolo dettaglio sulle dotazioni personali trascurato e qualc'un altro su piccole riparazioni/difetti delle camere, che comunque si tralasciano una volta trascorsi i primi 2 giorni Great Hotel near the downtown ,at 50 meters from the sea is well connected to urban net. Staff very friendly and proffessional. Kitchen eccelent for the breakfast and the dinner. Good rooms design in local style but oriented to modern; with good internet connection, room service very efficiently and quickly. Few details on amenities and personal neglected qualc'un other small repairs on / defects of the rooms, however, are omitted once spent the first 2 days

rust en comfort maar geen strand
wij zijn zeer tevreden over villa Vik maar waren blij dat we er niet weken hadden geboekt. Het is er wel erg rustig. Deligging vlakbij Arrecife is prettig, om autochtonen te zien en te spreken moet je toch daar naartoe. De kamers waren prachtig maar toch ook gehorig. we hebben er twee avonden gegeten, hetgeen een beetje tegenviel omdat in de beschrijvingen het restaurant met superlatieven werd aangeduid maar de kwaliteit viel ons niet mee, een 7!
