Basic but adequate and reasonable value for money

For what I paid, the accommodation was perfectly adequate but quite basic. Breakfast was the same. Very nice lagoon views. A little climb up and down if you don’t have a car.

Great Value, Great Views, Great Breakfast

Just a one night stay. Superior twin / double with lagoon view. View was impressive. Very short walk to beach. Small room but very comfortable. Juliet balcony so not big enough to sit on but lovely sitting in room with balcony door open looking over lagoon. Excellent breakfast buffet with cooked breakfast options, cold meats, smoked salmon, cereals and fruit. Great value for money in February.

It is a nice property with multiple buildings on a hill side, and across the street is a large beach, with some good restaurants and an easy to drive road that takes you up or down the coast. Lisbon is only 1 hour's drive away. Has a nice bar with food as well. Nice people around at work!

Great view from the hotel, beds were comfortable and great buffet breakfast selection. The cleaning or laundry products used left quite an intense smell in the rooms which wouldn’t go away even with the windows open. The fridges in both our rooms didn’t work which was inconvenient as we had to store medication, and the reception staff member didn’t speak English. The showers also didn’t close properly so a lot of water leaked on the floor.

Quarto diferente da reserva

Fiz uma reserva com vista mar, e foi me entregue um quarto virado para uma parede nas traseiras,fizemos reclamação na plataforma hotels.com mas sem resposta! O hotel não se responsabilisa do caso, dizendo que a culpa é da plataforma, sendo assim paguei uma estadia que não corresponde ao pedido. Devia ser reembolsado da quantia que paguei a mais pela vista. Foi uma desilusão.

Aufgrund des Preises und wenn Zimmer mit Meerblick gebucht werden kann, würden wir wieder kommen. Die Hotelanlage hätte so viel Potential, leider wirkt es sehr vernachlässigt. Der Speisesaal ist sehr ungemütlich. Wir haben noch nie so schlechte bzw. abgestanden aussehende Eier vorgefunden. . Der Ausblick auf die Lagune ist sehr schön. lkennen
