Good stay, but at peak summer without Aircon it would have been a lot worse
Pros:

Staff were really friendly and happy to help with anything. Room was clean and the maid did a great job. The view from the room when clear was great.

Cons:

Aircon in the room didn’t work, on all settings it produced hot air so we just left the door open to outside for the breeze which was fine for us. The balcony on the top level could do with some protective glass and some work doing on them.

Lical a recomendar sem dúvida
Pros:

De tudo em geral.
Nome a condizer .
Vista espectacular.
Pequeno almoço soberbo.

Cons:

Só uma curiosidade: no r/c, é necessário clicar no botão de descida e não no de subida, para aceder aos pisos superiores. Nada que o empregado de recepção não acorresse a explicar.

Para relaxamento foi uma ótima escolha
Pros:

A localização é perfeita perto da praia e num sítio com sossego e uma vista incrível para o mar, os funcionários foram muitos atenciosos, a piscina interior foi uma agradável surpresa. O pequeno almoço tinha muita variedade gostei muito, e os quartos são bastante espaçosos com uma varanda

Cons:

Podiam ter mais atenção a limpeza da casa de banho, apanhei cabelos agarrados ao secador e noutros sítios, e o jantar podia ter mais variedade de comida uma vez que se trata de buffet fica a desejar
