I was extremely happy with this establishment not only because of the amenities, but mainly because of the front desk staff, particularly with Patricia, who impressed me with her ‘happy person’ demeanor and her dedication to go beyond what’s expected from a welcoming agent, and by making the customer feel important. Thank you for this memorable encounter.

Great Place!
Beautiful hotel! Service was great! The only downside is they allow smoking in the front entrances to the door so as you are walking in and standing inside you inhale a lot of smoke. The food was great! Pool location rooms perfect!

Overall an okay hotel.
Big rooms with full kitchen unit (didn't use it).
The pool area is clean with lots of space.
Breakfast buffet is huge with many different options to choose from.
However, we had ants in our room which is a no-go for us.
We think/hope this is just our room and nt others. Otherwise we would have given more stars.

We had a lovely room at this hotel. Bit disappointed that there were only teabags provided in the room - would have been nice to have some coffee and milk.
View was good but there is some building work going on next door at the moment so you can hear a-lot of drilling. Good location for restaurants. Good selection of food and drink available at the pool bar. All staff very happy and helpful.

This hotel is in a great location, but be prepared for lots of extra charges. While we enjoyed the beautiful setting, it felt like the hotel was overly focused on making money off guests. For example, we were charged €15 just to use the in-room safe, and €1 for each clean towel. Parking is €13 per night, which is fair, but many other small things quickly added up and made the stay feel more expensive than expected. A bit more transparency and value for the price would go a long way.

Ok
Neutral hotel. It was a bit further from city centre than I had thought.
They do provide a shuttle bus, but only during daytime (last return is 18) so limited options for dinner, except the hotel and a few restaurants in walking distance.

deceived by the description and photos
very unreliable description and photos, they said that is 200m to the beach but didn’t mentioned that it’s in straight line - if you want to go by walk is about 10 min (1km). we booked the room with partial view of sea (photos connected to the room was quite different, than the room we got) but in fact we had another building in front of our balcony, breakfast it’s rather industrial food, we ordered prepared on place omelette, but it was without taste, terrible

L'hôtel est très bien situé; le secteur est magnifique et très bien desservi: à 100 m les transports en commun vous emmènent presque partout !
Le personnel (accueil et de restauration) est très professionnel et agréable; le sens du service au client.
La chambre est très spacieuse, calme.
La vue sur l'océan est superbe. Cependant, le ménage a baissé de qualité au fur et à mesure de l'avancée du séjour ...
Le petit déjeuner est très varié grâce une excellente offre, sauf, peut-être le café ...
Globalement, je recommande cet hôtel.

Bom, bonito e confortável. Mas grande e cheio.
O Hotel é muito bom e bonito, além de muito bem cuidado e limpo. As comodidades e áreas comuns também são muito boas, como as piscinas, o bar do lobby, etc.. Quarto espaçoso, confortável e também bonito e útil. Como pontos fracos, para mim apenas o pequeno-almoço: não gostei muito do local em que é servido, e da própria comida em si; além de pouca variedade, não é das mais saborosas (apesar de não ser ruim). Além disso o pequeno almoço reflete outro ponto que não gostei do hotel, mas que é algo estritamente de gosto pessoal: seu tamanho. Muito grande, muita gente em toda parte, pouco aconchego. Para quem gosta desse tipo de hotel, não irá se incomodar. Àqueles que, como eu, preferem hoteis menores, podem ter algum incomodo com isso. Mas não afeta a estadia em si, que foi no geral muito positiva.

Breath of fresh sea air
The hotel is perfectly placed to experience the theatre of the Atlantic Ocean meeting the dark lava rock that surrounds the natural pools. The rooms and restaurant all face the ocean. Free towels and pool access for guests make it inexcusable not to enjoy the warm salt water pools. Everything else is good.
