NetherlandsThe spa in the hotel is very nice but with very strange swimming cap requirement, please bring your own to avoid paying 5EUR for it, even for a baby cap... Room was spacious, breakfast was ok. The beach close to the hotel is very picturesque and with a great bar.

United States of AmericaGreat location and great rooms. The view of the ocean and the gardens was perfect. The staff was incredibly helpful and the rooms are amazing. I also ordered breakfast and it was incredible. So many options and large portions. The hotel also offers free parking which was very helpful.

United States of AmericaWonderful property. Beautiful beach and rock formations. Breakfast was good but not dinner.We are vegetarian. We literally had just salad , soup and bread for dinner. Dinner layout was huge for non vegetarians.That was disappointing for vegetarians.

IrelandThe pool and gym facilities are excellent. Breakfast is amazing. Staff are friendly and accommodating. We chose the hotel for the location as we did not want to be in the town centre around all the noise. It did not disappoint. The Sao Rafael beach is also amazing. It was perfect. It is only 10 minutes and 7-10 euro in a taxi to the old town.
