Top Santa Maria Hotel Reviews
Hotel Dunas de Sal
8/10 Good
"Clean, stylish room ( we had a junior suite), lively gardens around pool- full credit to cleaners gardeners and the staff we met. It’s not in the beach ( 3 min short walk ) on a road but not noisy and hid from view with cleaver design touches. The problem is in some policies. Charging for water in the room is outrageous. It’s not complimentary coffee when you have to spend £2.50 to put water in the machine. Straight off a flight, with no water and paying for it - no shops nearby at all, is really poor. A hotel at this price should have complimentary room water, every day."
