Eine gute Unterkunft in Meernähe.
Pros:

Die Unterkunft befindet sich am Auslauf des Douro mit Sicht auf das Meer von der Dachterrasse und der Baar.
Das Frühstück hat ein gutes Angebot präsentiert. Die Bar und die Dachterrasse waren immer offen.

Cons:

Gebucht haben wir mit Sicht auf den Garten. Leider haben wir den Garten nicht gesehen. Die Parkplätze sind öffentlich und Gebührenpflichtig. Von der Garage wurde uns vom Personal abgeraten, da die Einfahrt sehr eng sei.

Wondering what we paid for.
Pros:

The staff are really lovely. We enjoyed every interaction. It's a clean hotel and there is some amazing antique furniture (it's just that it's not cleverly featured/designed and so it just feels...old).

Cons:

The rooms are very small and the shower water seems to come in waves - sometimes hot and sometimes cold. There is never one temperature as you have a shower. The aircon is noisy - at least it was in our room. The breakfast is processed apart from some tired fruit and salad, and some dried scrambled eggs. The hotel has a pool - it looks amazing in the photos - but it has a grubby line around the water edge and the bottom of the pool is baggy! It is no longer stuck to the floor. The photos of the hotel look like it's on a beach - it's not. If you want to park your car, it's 12 euros a night and if you want a towel, it's 1 euro. We left wondering what we paid for!

Direkt am Meer. Genial. Das Personal ist super nett. Die Hotelbar hat einen tollen Blick. Sehr netter Barmann. Man kann lange und schön ebenerdig laufen. Ist mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln schnell in der Stadt. Ich würde sofort wieder dort buchen.

Pros:

Asukoht oli väga hea. Ookeani äärde paar minutit jalutada. Vanalinna pääseb lihtsalt bussiga ja ka trammiga. Väga meeldiv oli ka jalutada linna. Hommikusöök oli tavapärane.

Pros:

Nah am Strand.

Cons:

Das Haus ist in die Jahre gekommen. Die Möbel komplett veraltet. 4 Sterne nicht verdient.
