Reviews and Ratings
I had a great stay at the hotel, with a lovely view and plenty of parking space. The friendly staff made my experience enjoyable, but the dining options were lacking local touch and fresh food. The rooms were just as I requested but had no socket for charging my phone, and the dining experience was mediocre.
The hotel offers a convenient location with a magnificent view of the lagoon and ocean. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, making the stay pleasant. However, the dining experience was not recommendable, and the rooms were quite small initially.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms offer amazing views of the ocean and river, but they are a bit small and the WiFi is unreliable in the bedroom. However, the common areas are spacious and airy. The service was friendly and informative, but some areas like the lock on the main doors could use more attention. The location is beautiful with stunning views of the lagoon, although there could be more dining options available. The facilities were decent overall.
My stay was quite pleasant overall. The hotel was in a beautiful location overlooking the lagoon, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were a bit too thin-walled, making it easy to hear conversations from other rooms, and the room didn't exactly match the one in the booking photo. The amenities like billiard, table tennis, and a bar were nice to have.
The hotel offers unparalleled views, convenient access to the lounge and bar, and friendly service. The WiFi signal is weak in the bedrooms but sufficient in common areas.
The hotel offers a stunning view of the lagoon from the balcony rooms, although the WiFi in the bedroom can be a bit poor. The service is exceptional with attentive staff and clean, comfortable rooms. The location is beautiful, perched high above the lagoon, making it a serene getaway. However, the dining experience lacks local touch and the breakfast options are not as varied as expected.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, although small and very dated, were spacious and clean with a nice view of the sea and Lagoa.

The facilities were mediocre overall, lacking some key features.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was very tidy and renovated, with a spacious bathroom compared to other places in Portugal, but it was extremely humid and bleak. The service was friendly and informative, with satisfying breakfast options, but it was easy to hear conversations from other rooms. The location was excellent, with a beautiful view of the lagoon, but the hotel advertised in the photograph on Booking did not match expectations. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with good choices but also some disappointing aspects. The facilities were decent overall.
The hotel has a stunning view of the lagoon, and the rooms come with a terrace overlooking the lagoon, which was just as requested via email. However, there was a lack of free electrical plugs in the room. The service was top-notch with friendly and informative staff, satisfying breakfast, and convenient access to amenities. The location offers a serene setting on top of the hill with a retirement community feel, close to the beach and surrounded by unspoilt beauty. On the downside, the dining experience with limited options was a bit depressing, but the staff professionalism made up for it. Overall, a nice experience with minor room amenities issue.
