This hotel was part of the earlier state-owned ”Estalagem” (hostel, Inn) and potentially firstly opened in the 1970 still during Salazar or shortly later? At least this place is from times Portugal was trying to pioneer turism business (by state). Yes the location with the views is great - but that's unfortunately all (free views you'll have from the Sao Felix church as well). Many of such historic Estalagems have been closed down in recent years mainly because the new owners (after state has left the tourism business and e.g. Pousadas to Pestana) didn't want to invest and the places showed their age. So the left over Estalagems were available for last 2 centuries around 40-50€/night! Tradionally in Portugal breakfast is included and al of the Estalagems has special views and perks (like a pool). However after the pandemic the management of this place thinks rates around 100-150€ are reasonable for the same old rooms. Yes, some parts of the bathroom and maybe the AC seem to be renewed (not the hairdryer e.g.!!), but the first mistake is done at the reception (behind the desk visible to all guest as welcome). The remaining decor in the rooms is worne (not from 1975 but maybe 1995), the carpets are completely worn, though are minibar, cupboards etc. Building is in poor shape, Pools are historice Breakfast was below average and remember that -since 2023 - the comunal city want a direct contribution from all guests per day 1,5€, which is a joke: most of the streets are still noisy cobblestones - this money does direclty to wrong channels! I'd recommend not even to think any second to stay in this place except you want to invest your valued money in a truely historic experience which will at the end be a disappointment!

A magnificent 3 stars, with service quality of 4, modern, very well located, with excellent rooms, very comfortable, well equipped, with many technological resources. Breakfast rooms are large and bright and high quality breakfast, without defects, with a variety of and permanent rest. There is a very friendly and available staff. Private parking and excellent access. To repeat.

The staff in the lobby was very cheerful and nice. The hotel is very big. The meal was very good. I want to use it next time.

We always find ourselves very warm in the hotel during our stays, but they should watch the Spa a little, because it is supposed to relax and not listen to people making noise. for the rest there is nothing to add, for us very well

The stay was beautiful and pleasant. The location is good and the beach or restaurants are well accessible from the hotel. The staff was nice and friendly. Rooms and bathroom were large and clean. The breakfast room was a little smaller, but there was still enough room.

I don't know how much those who have made a negative review of the hotel paid, or how many hotels they have stayed in, but for less than fifty euros and seventy-four in high season, it is much more than good, including breakfast. Breakfast, with everything you want, (there are no waiters controlling what you take), from: croissants, bread rolls, freshly made toast, ham (not the best true), cheese, butter, jam, yogurts, jellies, cocoa , coffee , infusions , cereals , chocolate and corn flakes , it 's pretty good . If you take advantage of it well, you may not have to eat anything until the afternoon. The fruit that I have read, seems to me something not expected for what you pay. Everything is very tight and the fruit goes bad if it is not consumed soon. This aims to be a lucrative business and if you eat well and only with breakfast, you eat ten euros each, run a hotel, with its many expenses for 30 euros a room and earn money on top. The treatment is excellent, it is seen that there is a lot of staff, sometimes two at the reception, and always someone in the corridors. The rooms are small but sufficient. Everything very clean, even the bathroom. The location is excellent, a hundred meters from the beach and in the center at the same time. The decoration is old but it gives it a certain cozy air. In short, good experience, and pleasant stay. I recommend it.

Más cerca de 3 que de 4. Lo más aconsejable es utilizar la caja fuerte porque desaparecen cosas que luego, cuando se reclama, aparecen milagrosamente pero en distinto lugar del que estaban y donde se había buscado insistentemente vaciando totalmente el mueble. En cuanto al resto, buena cocina servida en mesa, desayuno con buena bollería y buen café, pero solamente jamón de York y queso. También buena macedonia de frutas. Destacable también la pastelería anexa, que también es del hotel. Pastelería excelente en calidad y precio. Muy amable el personal. La ubicación no es muy buena pero solo está a unos 300 metros de la playa. El problema es que está en una calle con mucho tráfico pero las habitaciones son muy tranquilas.
