Hotel em obras, não recomendo
Cons:

O hotel está em obras internas, e ninguém avisou sobre isso, fomos surpreendidos com barulhos de obra e quebradeira muito altos no quarto que incomodaram durante a estadia. No domingo, a obra e quebradeira começou as 8h30 da manhã, achei absurdo!! Mesmo ligando para reclamar, não pararam a obra e o barulho e não consegui descansar. Isso causou muito desconforto. Deveriam no mínimo avisar antes do check-in sobre obras.

A relaxing and enjoyable stay, with service, quality food and beautiful views.
Pros:

Breakfast was a highlight of the stay, offering a wide and well-balanced selection of options to suit different tastes. The fruit was particularly fresh and full of flavour, making it especially enjoyable each morning. The overall quality of the food was very good, with everything well presented and regularly replenished. The views over both the beach and the city created a relaxed and memorable setting to start the day.

Cons:

The service from the male staff at times felt overly assertive and a bit too forceful, which slightly detracted from an otherwise pleasant experience.
