Pros:

Sådan burde alle hoteller være. Der er en meget behagelig atmosfære på hotellet og alt, hvad vi havde brug for: God morgenmadsbuffet, fantastisk udsigt fra tagterrassen og dens pool, stille værelser, god rengøring og service fra personalet samt beliggenhed ved strande og i hyggelig bydel med mange gode restauranter.

Cons:

Fitnessrummet har for mange cardiomaskiner og for få styrketræningsmaskiner.

Dobře umístěný, menší hotel, mimo velké resorty, poblíž "domácích" pláží pro místní.
Pros:

Dobře umístěný, menší hotel, mimo velké resorty, poblíž "domácích" pláží pro místní. Možnost místní dopravy do centra Porta. Garáž v hotelu. Příjemný kontakt s recepcí a obsluhou.

Cons:

Nevím, co by se dalo vylepšit.
