Conjunto hotel/piscinas tem muitas potencialidades

Correu tudo muito bem. A localização é excecional e o conjunto hotel/piscinas tem muitas potencialidades. Nota-se vontade de melhorar (as televisões antigas foram substituídas na nossa estadia). Logo que possível conviria cuidar da pintura exterior.

Tous c’est bien passé mais nous avons été surpris sur le fait que nous avons dû payer les deux nuits en partant étant donner que nous avions dû rentrer notre numéro de carte de crédit lors de la réservation.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
This is a rather odd hotel with some pretty old facilities. The check in lobby looks nice but some of the rooms smell bad and look like they were build 40 years ago. The saving grace of the hotel is that they did have some nice views and were friendly. But it's definitely not worth paying more than fifty euros a night.

In die Jahre gekommen, etwas altbacken

Das Hotel ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen und wirkt altbacken. Nicht zu vergessen, es sind 3 Sterne in Portugal, so dass einiges gewöhnungsbedurftig ist und das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis nicht passt. Der in der Nähe liegende Strand ist toll gepflegt und bietet Platz auch in der Hochsaison.

Nicht zu empfehlen

Personal an der Rezeption war sehr unfreundlich und nicht sehr hilfreich! Unser Zimmer war sehr alt und klein! Wir hatten nur eine Steckdose für 3 Personen! Das Frühstücksbuffet fällt klein aus man hat nicht viel Auswahl oft! Das Hotel hat keine 3 Sterne verdient! Ich würde das Hotel neben an empfehlen- Hotel Farol!

Lo único bueno es que la playa está cerca

Estoy enfadadísima con Expedia por varias razones. La primera es que pedí cama de matrimonio, porque tenía la posibilidad de hacerlo,y cuando no me la dieron alegaron que a ellos les había llegado un email de Expedia donde aparecían dos camas (twin beds). Y es cierto, tengo fotocopia de ese email. Y segundo,este hotel miente al ofertar cosas que no tiene, y Expedia se lo permite. El hotel es viejísimo, el parking gratuito se limita a 13-14 coches,en la calle,y si quieres aparcar búscate la vida. Y en agosto en un sitio de playa a ver cómo lo haces. La piscina no pertenece al hotel,es pública,y hay que cruzar la calle para ir. Sin tumbonas para todos y cerrando a las 19h,ahora en agosto. La habitación no estaba limpia para la hora del check-in,y tuvimos que esperar bastante. Vasos rotos en el comedor, todo muy viejo y completamente dejado. Paredes de papel y una puerta de la habitación que se atascaba y no abría. No llega ni a pensión. Y pagamos 90€ por la habitación. Un auténtico robo por tener al lado una playa en la que siempre hace viento.

Es un hotel que esta bien en todo los aspectos pero nada de especial que resaltar. En cuanto al restaurante bastante deficiente recomiendo ir a comer y cenar fuera del restaurante.

Rimelig, men slitt hotell

Hotellet ligger sentralt i turiststrøket, men har sett sine bedre dager. Frokosten var meget enkel, men grei nok. Ingen varme retter. Gratis parkering ved inngangen. Byen er en typisk badeby med det meste sentrert langs stranden. Vi kommer ikke tilbake.
