Pros:

Pequeno almoco variado, agua da piscina boa

Cons:

Tínhamos pensão completa e nem a agua às refeições foi oferecida, tivemos de pagar garrafas de agua....havia muitos pratos sujos e a comida não é espectacular. Hotel à beira da praia e entre os dias de estadia nao limparam o chao do quarto....basicamente só fizeram a cama.....

Pros:

The view. The staff, friendly and genuinly happy

Cons:

Rust on the air conditier support. Lot of dust in the room and balcony. Very noisy. Water intrerruptions every morning, hard to wash till 11 in the morning. Room looks like a 4 star hotel from the 2000, not 2026. Max a 2, maybe 3 star hotel.

Very convenient if you are looking for a compromise between beach and city
Pros:

It’s well organised and clean, front to the beach, near the city and the airport.

Cons:

The gym wasn’t very much equipped and it was just facing the pool and the dining area, no curtain but only big clear windows… not much privacy
