Solo le salva que es barato.
Pros:

Que habia poca gente y los pocos servicios del hotel fueron suficientes:
- Solo 10 plazas de aparcamiento en una zona de aparcamiento imposible.
- Pocas zonas de uso colectivo. El salon lo cierran despues del desayuno y solo queda una zina de sillones.
- Habitaciones amplias con nevera.

Cons:

- El desayuno es horroroso.
Los huevos a pegotones.
El fiambre peor impisible.
El cafe horroroso.
Al menos habia fruta fresca.
La accesibilidad a la playa regular. Un clasico del Algarve portugués.

Pros:

Locations is just the dream.
Our flights were massively delayed we didn't arrive until 3.30 am and the night porter was so helpful.

The back rooms have zero view but are comfortable, we got a reasonable upgrade.

Breakfast was nice with plenty of options.
Staff were so helpful and pleasant.

Pros:

Estava quase tudo otimo, o espaço é confortável , perto da praia, com uma "vista" linda que poderia ser melhor pois dá pra ver metada da praia ja que tem outro hotel a frente deste.
Cama confortável, bom pequeno almoço, elevadores.

Cons:

Não gostei do barulho do elevador , e o facto da Ducha ser muito pequena não dá quaze pra mover dentro quando se liga a agua quente pode-se queimar na torneira ja que é muito apertado.

Só, De resto estava tudo bem.
