We were rather bedraggled walk-ins between Christmas and New Year but were happily welcomed and had a thoroughly relaxing time here.

The views over the bays are great (O.K the cement works way out on the horizon isn't terribly picturesque, but that's Vitoria's problem - not this hotels).

We had excellent service, not fussy but attentive when required. The breakfasts were splendid.

The rooms were well appointed (not huge) and lovely and cool without needing the blast of A/C.

The pools were nice and the whole place only really felt busy on our last night when it was ram packed with Brazilian families looking forward to New Year.

A real treat we would repeat without hesitation. And Vitoria's worth a visit too.

And don't forget to negotiate rates - especially for walk-ins. more
