breakfast sea view room close to restaurants and the beach

Moore United States of America

-The beds were very comfortable and curtains held out light to sleep in. - The balcony was nice and partial view of ocean - Couldn't hear neighbors -Big breakfast

Petra Estonia

Very friendly staff, the room was always clean and I missed nothing. Considering the rate including breakfast, this is very affordable. Closely located to the beach with all restaurants, the staff was always helpful and always had a smile on their face! 😃

Christophe Switzerland

Very nice place, nice pool, not a direct sea view but good for a long stay as well

Bobbylowe2017 United States of America

Overall, a very fine place to stay. It's across the street from the beach, but our room had a great view. It is spartan, but clean, and the staff was great. Would recommend it to anyone on a budget.

Christopher United States of America

We have used this hotel before. It is reasonably priced and very well located on the strip at Praia da Rocha.

This hotel is really nice. While looking for a place to stay I am very picky. I’ve found this hotel and I am very happy about it. It was near the beach (the beach super lovely, huge), the bed and bathroom were clean. The price for this hotel was very cheap. Huge plus for a breakfast in the morning. It is very affordable hotel - when you don’t want to spend a lot of money but still want to be near the beach and have clean room and free breakfast.
