Staff is always willing to help. Ronildo the manager at the restaurant speaks English and runs the place well. Carla at the reception is an angel and always gets things done and has a great welcoming spirit. They both deserve a raise in pay!!

Hotel Premier
The price is right, and service is great. Only the water pressure is low, and since located next to Main Street, it may get noisy late at night.

Silva Hospedagem - Flat Number One
O flat é muito confortável e organizado. Poderia ser melhor ainda se tivessem limpado o ventilador da sala e o ar-condicionado que estava com cheiro de mofo e se o fogão elétrico fosse um pouco mais potente (o que tem la é velhinho). Fora isso foi uma ótima estadia.
