Gostei muito e quero voltar
Pros:

O hotel é muito bonito e fica numa zona fantástica, com vista para o mar. Tem um bar no rooftop muito agradável. Todos os funcionários foram sempre muito simpáticos e prestáveis.

Cons:

A cama não era muito confortável, o AC do quarto não refrescou o quarto e passa algum barulho de uns quartos para os outros.

Pros:

Loved the location close to the beach. Really nice walks. Super close to various bus stops to go onto Old Town. Staff was helpful and really fun! They really helped with booking of tours, etc.

Cons:

The bar is a bit disappointing. I understand that port wine is the whole thing in the region but it would be nice if they had some crisp wine like sauvignon blanc. Or even some crisp vinho verde. It's hot there so it would be nice.

Pequeno almoço muito variável e bom, quarto limpo e cheiroso, assim como o resto do hotel.

Weiterempfehlung
Pros:

Sehr guter Service. Tolle Lage. Dachterrasse und Pool sehr schön. Gutes Frühstück.

Cons:

Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit sehr kleinen Fenster welches über den Raucheraussenbereich liegt.
Dieses Zimmer ist für Nichtraucher unschön.
Raucherbereich belästigt darüberliegende Zimmer
und ist für Nichtraucher unschön.
