8
Many guests note clean rooms and public areas, but several reports of drain/sewage odour on balconies and a few comments about minor dirt/run-down fixtures lower this score slightly.

9.2
Multiple guests praise very friendly, helpful and multilingual staff; a few isolated issues (e.g., being assigned an occupied room) were reported but do not outweigh generally excellent service.

Consistently highlighted as excellent: beachfront position, great ocean views, close to town and transport; ideal for sightseeing and the beach.

Amenities
9
Spa, infinity pool with sea views and other facilities are frequently praised; pool area is noted as somewhat small but overall very positive.

8.2
Generally good value according to reviews; one guest noted a cheaper rate corresponded with slightly lower quality, so value is positive but not perfect.

Most stays described as fantastic or excellent (great staff, location, spa and ambience), with a minority of maintenance/odour incidents—overall very strong guest experience.

Há outro hotel mesmo em frente à praia.
Pros:

O quarto era muito espaçoso. Excelente vista para o mar. O restaurante com um ambiente muito bom.

Cons:

Da varanda ter um cheiro nauseabundo, ao ponto de ter tentado tapar o ralo e desistir.

Tem uma boa relação qualidade-preço mas não tem uma experiência de hotel de 5 estrelas.
Pros:

A vista maravilhosa. A cama muito confortável. A localização é ótima. O staff é muito simpático (à exceção das senhoras de limpeza que nem respondem quando lhes dizemos bom dia).
Mas na recepção, serviço de pequeno-almoço e a gestão de clientes são todos excepcionais.

Cons:

O pequeno almoço é muito pouco variado, pouca oferta. 99% ultra-processados. Em comparação com outros pequenos almoços de hoteis de 5 estrelas é muito inferior. Os ovos expostos estão ressequidos, falta variedade de frutas e opções sem gluten e lactose.
A zona do spa deve ter vigiada e controlada para evitar o que aconteceu: Adolescentes com comida dentro da piscina a ouvir música com a coluna alta e a fazer videochamadas a incomodar quem lá estava. Estiveram a fazer pinos e cavalitas dentro do jacuzzi interior do spa e tivemos de nos retirar pelo barulho excessivo depois de pedirmos várias vezes silêncio.
A limpeza diária fez a cama e mais nada, deixou as toalhas no chão e o lixo por levantar.

Estadia fantástica!
Pros:

Localização, vista, tamanho do quarto, conforto

Cons:

A única coisa que me desagradou foi o cheiro a esgoto que existe na varanda e que entra para dentro do quarto. Não é cheiro de maresia, é mesmo cheiro de esgoto.

Un paradiso
Pros:

L'hotel è molto confortevole, un'ingresso dal mare spettacolare, coì come la vista e la piscina a sfioro.
Comodissimo sia al centro che alla spiaggia.
Il personale è il migliore che io abbia incontrato.

Cons:

migliorerei la colazione, ma di poco! Non vedo l'ora di ritornarci.
