Michael United States of America

location was very good for going to the beach. For going to the city was a bit more complicated but we had a car. It was not difficult to find a parking lot next to the hotel.

G Spain

The facilities were really good, the room was an apartment with kitchen so it was relatively big. The breakfast was also nice with 2 or 3 varieties of bread, fruit (although you have to "prepare it" yourself), coffee machine with multiple options, many cakes/sweets.

Bruno Portugal

The location for my language course was fantastic and I have recommended your hotel as an alternative for any future courses. The balcony and views were fabulous and it was a bonus to have cleaning services provided.
