It was very clean. The reception checked twice if everything is okay. The outdoor infinity pools are amazing! I liked the room with balcony and very comfortable bed. View was amazing all over! Good location with 20min walk to city center. Buffet food was overall good.

Nina Germany

This is a good hotel. Not too high density and with all the things you might need. There are pools, a spa, 3 restaurants when we were there (the Ocean which does breakfasts and evening meals in a 'canteen style but good food), and a Italian and Portuguese resto too.
