Categories

Cleanliness
9.4
Generally praised across reviews: multiple comments of 'muy limpio', 'impecável' and 'Sehr sauber', though one report of a bathroom smell. Overall strongly positive cleanliness.
Service
9
Mostly complimentary: several guests call staff extremely kind and helpful (evening receptionist highlighted). Some reports of poor responsiveness (room issue left unfixed, breakfast not ready early) produce mixed but overall strong service sentiment.
Location
9.6
Repeatedly praised for sea views and setting ('breathtaking', 'nice location', 'vista do mar'); one note that hotel is farther from the beach but location/view are a clear strong point.
Room Quality
8
Mixed: many rooms with great sea views, but several maintenance and comfort issues mentioned (no hot water, bathroom smell, clogged shower drain, gaps allowing noise/ants, poor beds/pillows, privacy concerns).
Amenities
9.2
Good amenities noted: pool, hidromassagem/jacuzzi, pool bar and well-kept common areas; some limitations reported in one guest house (limited kitchenware, parking) but overall amenities are a strong feature.
Value for Money
8
Mixed perceptions: many felt the stay was worth it given view and facilities, but some guests reported being misled (guest house vs hotel), extra fees and lacking promised breakfast, reducing perceived value for those stays.
Food and Beverage
9.1
Generally positive: several mentions of a very good, well-served breakfast; however some guests found breakfast basic or occasionally stale and one report of breakfast not being ready early—overall slightly above average.
Overall Experience
8.9
Aggregate impression: many perfect/very positive stays driven by location, cleanliness and amenities, but a few significant negative experiences (misleading listing, maintenance and service lapses) produce a mixed overall impression consistent with the target rating.

Pros:

Lo mejor: la amabilidad del personal, la relación calidad / precio (al menos en mi caso), y el tamaño y vista de mi habitación (triple, en el Anexo).
A mejorar: la zona del anexo necesita una renovación y limpieza importante.
OJO, personas mayores o con movilidad reducida, el hotel está en una cuesta importante y tiene muchas escaleras.

Pros:

Cama super boa, tamanho do quarto excelente e uma vista deslumbrante.

Cons:

Café da manhã horrível, barulho de obras e restos de matérias da obra que ficaram largados pela equipe no quarto ao lado do meu, que com o vento, o barulho ficou insuportável.

No!!!
Pros:

Non lo so, non abbiamo avuto una bella esperienza. Sicuramente non è un posto da consigliare.

Cons:

Al momento della prenotazione non è sufficientemente chiaro che la sistemazione non si trovi all’interno dell’hotel principale, e questo secondo me è un aspetto che dovrebbe essere specificato molto meglio.

Siamo arrivati dopo le 23 e purtroppo l’esperienza è stata davvero complicata: la persona che ci ha accolto non sembrava preparata a gestire il nostro arrivo e raggiungere questa struttura separata, soprattutto di notte, è stato piuttosto spiacevole. La zona e l’accesso, nelle ore serali, danno una sensazione decisamente diversa rispetto a quella che ci aspettavamo prenotando l’hotel.

Alla luce del giorno l’impressione migliora un po’, ma personalmente non è una sistemazione che prenderei nuovamente in considerazione.

Pros:

Nice location

Cons:

Payed for a room with sea view, they located us in a very nice one but the bathroom smelled like pee and it had not hot water to shower. Warned the staff and left the keys the whole day to fix the problem but they did nothing. They changed our room to one with very little sea view in comparison and no privacy as leaving the the blinds open would allow anyone that walked past the reception to see everything inside the room and bathroom. Plus, no apologies on the matter or any type of compensation for the inconvenience.


The last day we wanted to have breakfast early to leave to the airport, but it was 8am and the breakfast was not ready yet so we had to leave without breakfast (it was supposed to be ready from 7:30am)

The person working in the reception during the evening was very helpful and friendly but the rest was not that much

Romantic View
Pros:

location and view from the hotel, absolutely breathtaking. Had booked the room with sea view and absolutely worth it

Cons:

Very noisy property. Large gaps around the doors and windows meant that noise, ants and other insects could easily get into the room. The breakfast area is located right next to the rooms, so every morning we were woken up around 6:15am by staff preparing breakfast and later by guests. Breakfast was very basic and unfortunately the bread, buns and pastries often seemed stale during our stay. The shower drain was also unable to cope with the water flow and became clogged almost immediately. The view was absolutely stunning and made up for a lot, but the lack of sleep made the stay quite tiring. The property has great potential if the noise and maintenance issues are addressed.

O hotel é longe da praia, o cardápio não tinha muitas opções, o hotel não disponibiliza café na máquina.

A pior estadia da minha vida 😢
Pros:

Pior experiência da minha vida! 😢
De início, fiquei sabendo ao chegar ao local, que ficaria hospedada num ANEXT, escrito minusculamente numa página redirecionada, da página de pesquisa que fiz. Outra surpresa foi de que não teríamos CAFÉ DA MANHÃ. Na verdade, estaríamos hospedados numa GUEST HOUSE, sendo que eu pesquisei por hotéis, com café da manhã.

Cons:

A guest house, mal tinha uma vaga de estacionamento, um acesso ao quarto terrível, com uma escada super íngreme, em meio a uma mata, sem qualquer controle da vegetação, e com isso até uma COBRA eu encontrei ao sair para um passeio. Não tinha uma estrutura adequada para uma guest house. 1 cafeteira, 1 microondas, 2 conjuntos de xícaras e pratos, e só! Se quiséssemos usar a churrasqueira, teríamos que pagar uma taxa de 80 reais. Mas sabe o que é pior de tudo isso? Ser enganada. Ver que agiram de má fé, não foram honestos!
