Nice location near beach
Pros:

The staff were very friendly and hospitable. They promptly provided any information we requested, even if they had to look it up. They have contacts for taxi and tour services too if you want to book last minute.

Cons:

The rooms were quite warm. Our rooms had direct sun from 4 in evening to around 7-8. The lack of acs made the room very hot. But it might be a seasonal issue only. The pool is not big as expected from the pictures.

Não usufruímos do hotel. Usamos só como B&B
Pros:

Simpatia da equipa, estacionamento dentro do espaço ou muito perto

Cons:

Limitação no número de refeições que podiam servir por ter havido uma avaria, cartões de abertura de portas desativado (incluindo a remoção do módulo embutido na porta) e puxadores caídos dando mau aspeto e pouco cuidado. Degradação visível em alguns espaços comuns e do próprio quarto. Piscina sem privacidade - não usamos.

Het eiland op zich maakte veel goed alsook het feit dat onze dagen heel goed gevuld waren en we dus weinig in het hotel
Pros:

Vriendelijk personeel. Alles was wel proper.

Het hotel is eerder gedateerd, gangen, kamers, badkamer zijn niet mee met de tijd.

Apreciei muito e voltaria sem duvidar.
Pros:

Refeições e localização. O prazer de poder ajudar alunos na sua formação.

Cons:

É um hotel com alguns anos e isso é visível, precisava de alguns upgrades. No entanto não posso dizer que desgostei. É uma escola, e é preciso dar esta oportunidade aos jovens que querem seguir na área e na vida.

Pros:

El desayuno era pequeño pero variado, cambiaron las opciones todos los días.

Cons:

Las instalaciones se ven viejas y descuidadas. La cama estaba demasiado hundida y de muelles, el mobiliario muy anticuado y la piscina estaba en muy mal estado por los azulejos rotos.
