Quarto espaçoso, bom pequeno almoço. Ótima localização para quem procura dias de praia.

Pros:

I had a really pleasant stay. The hotel is in a great location, just a short walk from the beach. My room was spacious, bright, and very clean, and it even had a small refrigerator.

The room was cleaned every day, and I appreciated receiving a complimentary bottle of water daily. The breakfast was good, and all the staff were welcoming.

Cons:

The only thing I missed was having a kettle in the room to make tea or coffee. Other than that, everything was great, and I would happily stay here again.
