Luxury Beach Guest House

The location, breakfast was good

Arrived exactly at the check-in time, but still had to wait until te room is ready, my room was right next to the reception so I could hear everything, price is too high.

It is on the beach and very close to the airport. It was clean. Staff was very nice.

The pictures are definitely a lot nicer and fancier them the place actually is.

Pluses of this hotel are: great location (straight on the beach), decent, clean rooms; towels and linens changed regulalrly and are of a decent quality; great shower; a nice bar upstairs, extraordinary efficient and helpful staff, the general ambience of hospitality and cordiality; the beach is very clean and parasols and sunbeds are plentiful (for a fee, though). A restaurant next door (which belongs to the same owner) is just perfect and highly recommended. As to the staff, while checking out we left behind a small bag with tinkets we bought locally. Not only has the staff kept the bag but even helped us to contact a local courier service and monitored the progress in shipping it to our friends in Lisbon (thank you, Rosanna for that!)

Minuses are few: as the beach is right at the hotel's door, if you are on the ground floor, you can even see passers-by; and the place is too costly (which is well understood as there are very few hotels in the area). No balconies is a huge minus , of course. Rooms are pretty small (especially those with a partial sea view) Safe box did not work properly, either (but we really feel safe and secure and did not care much of that).
