The hotel has received an upgrade, what is well done. The only thing what still needs an upgrade is the pool, this should happen coming November. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, breakfast is good and the location in the town is excellent, everything in walking distance. (this is the 4th or 5th time we stayed here)

Loved Sesimbra oceanfront

Loved everything about our stay in the hotel But they need to fix all the missing tiles at the bottom of the outdoor pool. For a 5 star hotel this was very shabby looking disappointing. However the staff was fabulous the room beautiful and the location perfect.
