"Very quiet, lovely hotel for great value, food options not the greatest but it was out of season so understandable, staff all very friendly and accommodating. Would absolutely visit again but probably in season.
We loved our visit to Portugal and found all locals very friendly."
"Room and hotel facilities were all excellent, clean and well maintained. Food was also great. Staff was very friendly and went out of their way to meet your needs. Overall a great experience. Only downside is I came in early November and they were not staffing the lounge area at the beach club - the restaurants were open, but you could not lounge by the beach. I wish they had let me know that when I booked. "
"This hotel is amazing! Other than the parking being a couple of blocks away, there is nothing negative about this property. Clean, quiet, walkable location close to everything. Loved our stay and will highly recommend. And the staff is top shelf….😃"
