Good
Pros:

It was okay

Cons:

To explain more about transport.
The hotel when they ask transport for travellers is very expensive why? I could not visit the beach no one told me is near.

Ótimo custo beneficio
Pros:

Café da manhã com muita variedade. Boa localização. Funcionários simpáticos. No último dia tínhamos que sair de madrugada e eles nos providenciaram um kit de café da manhã.

Cons:

Ao tomar banho o chuveiro acabava respingando bastante água e molhando o piso. O sinal de internet no quarto era bem fraco.

The breakfast was great, all the staff are very friendly. They even sang happy birthday to my son and baked him a cake.
