Staff repeatedly described as friendly, helpful and attentive; reception procedures noted but overall service praised across multiple reviews.
Location

Frequent praise for beachfront location, amazing sea views and sunsets, and convenient walking distance to the old town; one mention of an industrial-feel immediate surroundings but overall location is a strong positive.

Rooms described as spacious with large balconies and good storage; however balconies, balcony furniture and some flooring are ageing or in need of repair, and one booking discrepancy (promised balcony) was reported.

Uma experiência muito agradável
Pros:

Localização e o privilégio de uma vista linda sobre o mar. Bom pequeno almoço embora faltasse cereais.

Cons:

Ter um pouco mais de cuidado na limpeza do pó do mobiliário dos quartos, que foi o meu caso. Deviam também ter atenção ao Hall de entrada do hotel que é um cartão de visita, mas que no meu entender está um pouco desleixado para um hotel de 4 estrelas.

Pros:

O Pequeno almoço e a localização

Cons:

O facto de o ginásio e as piscinas se encontrarem numa zona frequentada não só pelos hóspedes, mas também por utilizadores externos, acaba por criar algum desconforto e retirar a vontade de usufruir destes espaços durante a estadia.

Considero que seria importante ponderarem a criação de uma piscina ao ar livre, tendo em conta a localização do hotel e a ausência de uma praia com condições particularmente atrativas nas proximidades. Especialmente nos dias de maior calor, uma piscina exterior seria uma mais-valia significativa, proporcionando uma experiência de lazer mais agradável e tornando o hotel uma opção mais apelativa para quem procura descansar e aproveitar o bom tempo.

Na minha opinião, esta melhoria poderia contribuir para valorizar a oferta do hotel e aumentar a sua atratividade, sobretudo durante a época de verão.

BIEN SAUF PISCINE
Pros:

Belle chambre avec grand balcon donnant sur l'océan (en supplément), bien équipée.
Bon petit déjeuner.
Restaurant correct.

Cons:

L'accès à la piscine, s'il est inclus dans le prix de la chambre, est compliqué puisqu'il faut aller chercher un bon d'échange à l'accueil de l'hôtel.
Et un bonnet de bain est obligatoire ! (donc à acheter à prix élevé sur place !)

Convient pour une nuit
Pros:

La vue mer est sympa et ils se débrouillent pour trouver une place en sous terrain pour les motos et c’est un plus !

Cons:

Le personnel du restaurant n’était pas agréable, les équipements piscine et spa manquent d’entretien et on le voit clairement. La localisation de l’hôtel ne nous permet par de profiter de la vue mer agréable, petit déjeuner en basse saison passable. Les chambres font le boulot mais la salle de bain n’est pas jolie et le lit est assez dur. J’ai moi même dû brancher le câble d’antenne de la télé car il n’a pas été vérifié avant
