Great location on the beach front, however, rooms could be kept to a better standard.
Pros:

Hotel was right at the beach front, it was clean looking and had several places to sunbathe.

Cons:

The rooms could have been cleaned to a greater standard, i felt they just had a very quick floor wash and beds made. Very little attention to detail. My other issue was the lack of urgency in the restaurant, couldn’t get large mugs for tea, small spoons were really difficult to get a hold of, the toaster facilities were poor. When you asked a member of the team, they weren’t overly obliging to help.

War ok
Pros:

Lage ist super, Zimmer war sauber und bequem, Essen war gut
Personal war freundlich

Cons:

Es wurde nicht auf Booking.com beschrieben, dass der Strand nicht zum Hotel gehört. Daher musste man die Liegen für ca 16€ pro Tag extra zahlen (wenn man am Strand liegen möchte).

Am Pool waren die extra weichen, großen Liegen zu reservieren + man musste 85€ am Tag konsumieren..

Hotel vale pena localização.
Pros:

Acesso à praia.
Funcionários muito simpáticos.
A D.Ana do Buffet é muito atenciosa com os clientes e sempre disponível a ajudar.

Cons:

Péssimas condições do Hotel.
Deviam fechar por alguns tempos e remodelar tudo.
A canalização é péssima.
No buffet na zona das frutas cheira a esgoto quase não dá vontade de comer. Hotel a precisar de remodelação total.

Good but could be better !
Pros:

The hotel generally is modern, clean with good bedrooms, a good bar and very good breakfast area. The Receptionists were all very helpful.

Cons:

The cabaret in the bar at night was to loud and one male singer possibly Asian was as bad as I have ever heard. He slaughtered some Elvis songs.
Other problem was sunbeds. Not enough and all grabbed before 9am with distinct lack of policing.
