Disliked: Staff & service
We were under the impression this was a 4-star hotel, (I would rate it as 3), and as an "adults only", was going to be quiet and relaxing. This hotel is the complete opposite. It is in the middle of party central, with loud, techno music right on the beach, other hotels with loud music and their own beach bar contributing to the noise. When we asked for 2 nights of reimbursement out of 4, they were mean, put the blame on us and talked behind our back to each other in Portuguese in angry tones. It was very upsetting. We stayed 2 nights and couldn't take it anymore, no sleep and no relaxation on the beach. If you want a party place, this is it, if not, go somewhere else.

Hotel was outdated, but our room had just been renovated. Rooms on the sixth floor do not have an elevator that go up there. There was three or four mini flights of stairs we had to climb to access our room. Once up there, the view was fabulous. they had 3 k-cups available in room, they don’t replenish the cups for the second day of stay. They €1.2 for each K cup on the second day to have coffee in the room and this is with already paying for the breakfast buffet. The view is incredible and very good access to shopping and restaurants. No parking on site as the roads are very very skinny and we had to walk with our bags about eight minutes on cobblestone streets coming from the United States, we were a bit confused about parking prior to arrival. Wish we had parking information prior to arrival. The restaurant only offered a buffet for dinner and it did not look very good. Something you would expect at the Golden Corral or worse, and not at a four star hotel on the beach.

The white old woman with brown hair at the front desk was extremely rude and unprofessional . When she showed us to our room she basically threw the room key on the table and walked out without explaining how anything works . But everyone else was lovely .

Amazing hotel in the lively seaside town. Rooms are stunning, view is incredible. Hotel is in a prime location and thankfully at night is very quiet compared to other areas. We was celebrating a birthday and the hotel staff picked up on birthday cards in the room and we come back to a little gift from the staff. Could not recommend this hotel enough, we will be back.
