Pros:

Beautiful area; helpful staff; great breakfast

Cons:

Bicycles available for guests were not well maintained. Rear brake didn't engage and gears were all out of whack--chain went off the rear cassette during gear change.

It’s a one of a kind experience. Da Guincho beach nearby is white-sand and sane with the local surfing school and small
Pros:

Unique location
It’s wild and beautiful
Mesmerizing ocean view

Cons:

My room 106 is a bit dark
The single window doesn’t provide much natural light but it fitted the room description when I booked it. So no complaint

Pros:

Nett in einer Burg " Festung" hat was, coole Location sehr ruhig super Ausssicht auf Strand und Meer mit Dramatischen Wellen. Das Frühstuck war sehr gut von sehr hoher Qualität tolle Käse geschmackvolle, Brotsorten ordenlich gemachte Omlett tolle Aussicht auf den Atlantik dem Auge zur Freude.

Cons:

Der Empfang.. der bzw. die beiden Reisenden kamen aus dem Süd Westen von der Meco Halbinsel und hatte 3 herrliche Tage hintersich und freuten Sich eigenlich auf ein neues Hotel. Der Empfang war kühl oder besser reserviert, eigentlich eher ein ungläubiges staunen das man hier vorgebucht hatte. Ok geschenk. Was uns nicht gefallen hat nettes Zimmer aber ein Gestank von Feulnis aus der Duschbereich ok alte Burg aber bei dem Preis für 2 Nächte erwarten die Reisenden das auch das perfekt ist. Pool gibt es keinen und auf dem Sonnendeck (Platz) wird man von Anhaltenden Touristen bestaunt die einen Schnappschuss auf den Strand mit Aussicht machen , passt irgenwie nicht.

Very pleasant stay again
Pros:

Amazing views
Service from the team
Breakfast was excellent
Wine
Decor

Cons:

We arrived well after check in time after travelling four hours and were told our room wasn’t ready. A welcome drink would’ve been a nice touch in the circumstances rather than send us to buy our own snack! No help with our suitcases this year. Last year I was really impressed with this.
Exactly same menu at the Spot if you didn’t want the set menu and it was quite limiting.
Bathroom looked a bit in need of an update
