Cons:

Hotel datato e un po' trascurato, la struttura è grande con piscina, giardino e spazi sia interni che all' aperto ma non sono stati fatti interventi di manutenzione ordinaria.

Jó kis szálloda búvárbázissal
Pros:

Szinte minden. Búvárbázis a hotelben.

Cons:

Wifi Internet csak a lobby-ban van.
Utolsó nap reggel megkérdeztem, hogy maradhatnék e fél 3-ig a szobában, akkor indulnék a komphoz, de addig elmennék kirándulni, azt mondták igen. Amikor 2-kor visszaértem, mondták, hogy már ki kellett volna jelentkeznem, mert jönnek a szobába.

Hôtel défraîchi avec une belle piscine mais mal entretenu et assez isolé.
Pros:

Etablissement d’un bon rapport qualité prix.

Cons:

La piscine était sale remplie de terre. L’hôtel aurait besoin d’un rafraichissement général. L’ascenseur était hors service. L’hôtel est tout au bout de Porto Novo, assez loin du centre ville, dans une zone en construction.

Very pleasant!
Pros:

Lovely big tranquil hotel built with lots of imagination! Could it make some improvements? Yes,it could.But,the price is right , the atmosphere is friendly, location is quiet ,the breakfast buffet is very good as well as the all you can eat buffet in the evening for the sheer price of 1500 escudo. We loved it here ❤️ we intend to go back !The build style reminds us of the old Florida luxurious hotels.
Btw...just outside on the beach you'll find an outdoor gym built by the locals.

Cons:

Tips for the hotel management: provide garden-chair pillows,please,as your beautiful chairs are quite uncomfortable (just using a towel is not enough).

Cons:

Le wifi qui ne marche que dans le hall. Le pommeau de douche était super petit et pas très fonctionnelle, le tuyeau du lavabo était cassé dans il y a de l’eau dans l’étroite salle de bain.
