Generally described as well kept and tidy by several guests, but some reports of inefficient room cleaning (rooms not cleaned by mid-afternoon) and worn/loose carpeting in places reduced the score.
Service
9.2
Staff repeatedly described as friendly, helpful and attentive; reception procedures noted but overall service praised across multiple reviews.
Location
9.4
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.
Room Quality
8.2
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.
Amenities
7.6
Breakfast buffet and indoor saltwater whirlpool received praise, but the hotel lacks its own leisure pool (partner gym pool with restrictions) and spa/gym facilities were described as worn/deteriorated, lowering the score.

Pros:

Reservamos una habitación con vistas al mar y fue un acierto, las vistas eran esplendidas y la habitación muy cómoda y completa. En la terraza tenías dos hamacas para disfrutar del sol y de las vistas. Recomiendo este hotel, fue un gran descubrimiento.

Cons:

Fuimos al spa y muchos de los "chorros" de la piscina no funcionaban, por lo que fue más un baño en una piscina termal. Aún así mereció la pena.

Hotel bom à frente do mar.
Pros:

Gostei sem dúvida da vista para o mar e localização.

Cons:

O hotel é muito bom mas um pouco caro.
O ginásio também é bom, só peca pela água da piscina extremamente salgada.
