Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Never stay here. Only one floor has AC. Out of 10 day stay, only 4 dishes out of all meals [all inclusive] were tasty. I'm used to GOOD Portuguese food! This wasn't! Outdated building. Shabby amenities [ripped bathroom towels]. Canceled scheduled activity after ppl showed up for swim fitness class. Open balcony gym located over dining room. So while eating, you can hear the person running on the treadmill because you are in thr same room.

En dehors de la plage difficile d’accès car trop rocailleuse, tout est parfait. La nourriture bien qu’abondante reste très correcte et variée. Les chambres et les espaces communs très propres et le personnel extrêmement aimable et surtout bienveillant.. la navette gratuite vers le centre ville est appréciable. Je garde un excellent souvenir de mon séjour. Un grand merci surtout a toute l’équipe du restaurant pour leur gentillesse et le sourire affiche su quotidien. Prenez soin d’eux Dalila
