    Parking on site is quite limited but plenty of public parking nearby, so not really a problem.

    Quiet, very well maintained with very friendly and helpful staff. An excellent breakfast and snacks were available until the bar closed at 11.00p.m. Short €5 taxi ride to the town centre and beaches.

    If I had to be really picky I would have liked the option to reserve a parking space. If you're hiring a car it's good to know you have an onsite parking spot and that you're doing all you can to protect your security deposit on the vehicle. That said, perhaps something I would do well to check in advance next time.

    I was so pleasantly surprised by this wonderful find, a 5 min walk from a stunning beach and piece of coastline with plenty of restaurants and a shop in close proximity. A lovely pool area, great quality breakfast and a bar area. The hotel itself had some parking but there was lots more just outside on the main road. I will be going back!

    Nothing! We couldn’t fault it :)

    Clean and bright hotel, about a 25 minute walk along the front from Praia da rocha, so it was nice and quiet at night. The staff were great and nothing was too much trouble for them. Breakfast was also great, a good selection of hot and cold buffet style. The room was very spacious and the bed was big and comfortable. The air conditioning was also ice cold, which was perfect after a hot day in the sun. We especially enjoyed the pool area, which was also clean and spacious, and the rooftop terrace at night was lovely for views of the surrounding area. There is also a supermarket and beach shop over the road and lots of snack bars and restaurants on the beach front 5 minutes down the road. We travel twice a year and were really pleased with this hotel, putting it in first place from our last 4 holiday destinations.

    Some hairs here and there, cards constantly stopped working, breakfast can get quite busy. Hard to access the bar from the pool because you have to go up and through reception. There was one time the cleaning staff told us they couldn’t service the room after 12 (it’s advertised till 2PM) but that wasn’t a big deal for us.

    Generally very clean and tidy, breakfast was very good. Pool and facilities were really nice and not busy at all. All guests were adults, good proximity to the beach and quiet nights.

    The beddings were never changed all through my stay, I asked for some fresh sheets but was not given, beach towels can not be changed after use either, was told by receptionist you are only allowed one beach towel all through you entire stay

    I like that the rooms are cleaned and tidied daily, breakfast has varieties to choose from, staff are helpful and polite, cold water daily available in dispenser, great location for the beach and restaurants, good size swimming pool, air condition works perfectly and a good size balcony too

    The air conditioning system could be a little better but it was in mid 30’s when we stayed though.

    The property is in a lovely quiet location. It’s still only 7 minutes walk from restaurants, walks and the beach. The breakfast every morning was delicious with an assortment of breakfast dishes. The pool was amazing as we stayed here when temperatures were in the mid 30’s. So the pool was perfect to go for a swim and cool down. All the staff were so welcoming, friendly and helpful. They made our stay to be honest.

    Nothing...... well maybe, no water at breakfast.

    The staff were lovely, the place was exceptionally clean, the pool was so clean and really lovely. Just a 5 minute walk to beaches and great restaurants. A very tranquil, quiet area. What was not to like? Although there were younger couples than us, there were no rowdies. A lot of Portuguese and Andalucians staying. Breakfast was lovely- a very good choice and great variety!
