It was very quiet for our stay so the pools and facilities were relaxing and reliably accessible. The restaurant meals were delicious. Only thing that could be better was the breakfast bacon! Just 5m walk to one beach, \~10m in the other direction to another and some convenient shops just across the road. It was the perfect first holiday for my little girl, she didn't want to leave. ##### Daniel Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### CELSO Sep 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities The property was good, large pool not too packed when we stayed in September 2023\. WiFi was great, TV was good, nice location, walkable and bus routes next to property. Two complaints, the buffet food was the SAME every day, not a lot of options either. Also, the shower soap was not refilled before our check-in and we ran out by our 3rd day. ##### CELSO Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew Aug 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Would definitely stay again. ##### Andrew Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jorge Luis Jul 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice stay ##### Jorge Luis Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew Jul 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great hotel in a brilliant quiet location but close enough to walk to Santa Eulalia where there are plenty of shops and restaurants..

The bar staff though seemed out to get as much money from you as possible, also strange they didn't understand Portuguese. I was trying to order an imperial, a small beer, was told they only have corona so ordered 2 glasses, gave me two bottle priced at €6 each! That's ALOT for Portugal prices?! And small bottles?? Imperial beers are usually €2-€3\. Other than that the hotel itself was fine ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Nadege Aug 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Notre séjour c’est très bien passé. ##### Nadege Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ylénia May 28, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Mauvaise isolation, très bruyant, une chambre (relativement loin de la nôtre) faisait la fête tous les jours de 15h à 4h30 du matin en mettant la musique très fort, criant, claquant les portes. Ils ont continué le bruit malgré l'avertissement de l'employée de nuit. Le ménage est fait au strict minimum, le duvet n'avait pas de fourre, le lit contenait des cheveux des précédents clients, l'aspirateur n'a jamais été passé car des tas de cheveux se trouvaient par terre. Chambre et salle de bain très mal aérées car il y avait des poissons d'argent tous les jours. Les verres utilisés pour boire n'ont jamais été changés malgré leur usage. Les toilettes n'étaient même pas nettoyés. ##### Ylénia Stayed 8 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller May 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Bien Très bon séjour , bon accueil , hôtel très propre.
