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.

Good location. Be aware that Satnav does not take you to exact location. This is about 500 meters further on.
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!
It was a clean room; however, it sometimes had a bad smell

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.
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.
Vista incrível, estrutura um pouco antiga mas bem cuidada. Atendentes prestativos

Ouwe sannie de kamer en badkamer dateren uit de jaren 80. Oranje tegels in de badkamer, het stonk er muf. Maar het uitzicht seaside maakt veel goed. Het bed was goed heerlijk geslapen.
Me encanto el lugar muy limpio y cómodo mi esposa, mi hijo de 9 años y yo la pasamos bien, lo único es que no había nada en inglés o español para saber que tenía el menú y otras cosas , pero del resto está muy bien gracias
