"Lovely hotel about 5 minute walk from the beach. Very modern and stylish and exceptionally clean. We had a deluxe double room overlooking the pool and with a sea view. Rooms were very spacious with a large comfortable bed. Breakfast was amazing!! Close enough to walk into town and various local beaches but uber was less than 5 euros to the centre, the marina and also Praia de Luz, so easy to get around without hiring a car. Thank you to the staff who were all amazing!"

"The hotel is dated and has had some recent refurbishment worked carried out. Our Superior Double had been fully refurbished with new fixtures and fittings, decor and AC. The besding amd towels was of very good quality. The on site parking is secure, underground charged at 8 euros and above ground is free of charge Hotel is pet friendly with a charge of 35 euros per pet, although we should have been charged, the fee for our 2nd pet was waivered. No pet welfare (bed, bowls erc6) was provided during our stay, however we didnt challenge management so unsure if this is normal? Overall we were pleased with out choice of hotel"

The location was a perfect distance to walk to town, and for our hiking and kayaking excursions. Parking was ample and easy to access.

"The hotel grounds were good, breakfast was plentiful even though repetitive day by day. They had nightly entertainment, some good, some not. The on site Flor de Sal was very good, the service there was excellent. My biggest complaint was the unfriendliness of the reception and staff everywhere. No one smiles or greets you when you walk by. I felt there was a general unfriendly vibe from the staff everywhere. They don't seem happy or pretend to be happy for the clients!! My room was fine, pillows were lumpy, I asked for new ones, and they were not any better. The bathroom was the worst: my shower had mold, All it needed was some bleach and cleaning. The washroom faucet was scratched, shower door didn't close. More than once, I told the reception about it, nothing was done. They did offer a new room but it was a huge hassle to move so we declined. The pools were ok, the adult pool was often dirty, we didn't use the outdoor pools much. The gym is nice and well equipped. Overall, it is a good hotel but the staff needs to trained to be nicer and friendlier with smiles! I don't think I would choose this hotel again. We stayed in Lisbon at a PortoBay and the vibe there was better, and hence chose this one,"
