They gave us a room right off of reception with a very big beautiful terrace and gave us breakfast on our terrace in the morning.

Thomas United States

Rooms have one of the best views of the ocean and beach. Having breakfast on the balcony was the highlight of our stay. The hotel is only a few min walk from the town center and the beach.

Anish Canada

Excellent seaview from the room, perfect location and free parking outside hotel. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Would stay here again next time for sure!

Helen Canada

Unparalleled views to the beach. Friendly staff made the experience even more pleasant. Rooms comfy and spacious. Easy access to the beach.

Nerijus Lithuania

The view was amazing! And the breakfast delicious! Especially if you take it on the terase! The staff was also very helpful and friendly, we really enjoyed the stay!

Adina Portugal

Made to feel very welcome. The room was fabulous a very good size and shower was big. Balcony with amazing views of the beach, table and chairs and a sunbed. Breakfast was brought in picnic baskets to your room, so you could dress or stay in pjs, and sit looking at those amazing views too. Choices were fabulous loved the granola, fresh orange juice and the freshly cooked Pasteis de nata. A perfect stay!
