We had a lovely big room with a comfortable bed, a balcony overlooking the seafront, and a bath (a bonus as we were walking the Camino). The hotel is right on the route of the Camino Portugues.

Hilary United Kingdom

Beautiful location and view; clean, comfortable room

Deb Portugal

staff is super helpful, and the hotel is very clean and well maintained. Excellent breakfast!

Jose United Kingdom

There was something for everyone at breakfast, a large array of dishes to choose from, both hot and cold. The staff were very helpful and friendly and exemplify why this hotel should really be a 4* not a 3*! The Veranda restaurant was a delight with excellent dishes produced to the highest of standards. We tried local wines that were recommended and found them to be both delicious and great value.

Adriaan United Kingdom

what an awesome place to stay, relax and enjoy some amazing cocktails by the pool on a warm day. The waiter who looked after us was just the best. we felt so spoilt all day

Kev Australia

The hotel was very confortable We had an amazing time The room and the balcony over the swimming pool gave a real holiday feeling The bar in the hotel is pleasant in the evening

Alexia Ireland

Breakfast excellent for another day walking the Camino.

Iain United Kingdom

We were walking the Portuguese Coastal Camino and the location is right on the main route so no detours. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the swimming pool area - whilst the water was cold it was great for weary limbs!!

Ian United Kingdom
