I went with a friend and stayed in this hotel. The staff friendly , pleasant and Helpful.
The rooms are clean.
Also this hotel is situated in residential area so it is bit quiet Some time there is some noise with the buses,cars passing by.

And it is near the beach it is around 5 minutes walking.
The value of money for this 3 star hotel it is reasonable.

We stayed two nights, got a good rate, room in new section clean although small. Staff pleasant, pool area lovely.
Just one thing, the bar serves no alcohol at all, we thought we would sit by the pool with a beer or glass of wine, no go! they only serve fruit juices and water ( ok for a health spa, but not a holiday resort )

We stayed here for 5 nights on an organised holiday package. I think some of the other reviews are far too harsh. This is, after all, a 3 star hotel [local grading] in a country in deep recession. But, as several criticisms have been made I'll address them as well as the positives. The hotel is 5 mins from the centre; 8 from the station. Yes, there is a gradient for the last 400m. but it's hardly the Eiger. We are in our late 60's, and didn't need crampons or a St Bernard. The room was clean and well maintained, with towels and linen changed daily. No "wildlife" but, OK, this was May. Perhaps, when it is much hotter....? We did suffer one night from noisy neighbours, but this was the fault of the 20-somethings occupying the next room on a warm night when windows were open and they had clearly enjoyed a booze-filled evening out. It happens. This is a beach resort and with-in pocket. Closing the windows and using the air-con ameliorated all but the banging of door locks. The staff was small but very friendly and helpful. No bar or evening restaurant maybe unusual, but not unheard of. A fine restaurant/bar (Pica Pau) is 200m away, had excellent food at very reasonable prices and was freely recommended by the hotel staff upon request. Breakfast was "Continental", though there were some hot dishes, and was of a similar standard to those found, in my experience, in similar hotels across western Europe. Yes, the coffee was naff but so it proved, in my opinion, wherever we had it in Portugal. I'd prefer Spanish or Italian coffee any day but we weren't staying there. And it was certainly no worse than the awful dish water you pay the earth for in UK chains. So, overall, I'd say it was a good average - it served our purpose very well and offered good value for the price we were paying. You get what you pay for - if you want 5-star, pay for it!
