Everyone was so kind and helpful. Shout out to Nelson, Jose and Nicole. Dinner was fabulous. The buffet breakfast is outstanding, not your typical breakfast. The hotel was immaculately clean. I don’t have enough good things to say. The view is great, you sit high above the bay, so very, very nice view. If there was one slight drawback for us, the beds we had were very, very firm. But then, that’s a personal preference. To each his own. Photo is from a mile or two north, not from the property.

Great views, boutique Hotel perched on the cliffs overlooking Sines. Staff incrediblely friendly and hospitable.Great room, clean light and airy.

Great place to stay. Right downtown a stone throw away from the castle. Joanna was amazing. She walked us around the hotel and gave us the history of building. The breakfast in the morning was the best. Huge selection of food to choose from.

The location is outstanding with expansive views to the beautiful beach/harbor. The hotel is in an interesting historical district. We had dinner at the hotel to take advantage of the setting. The food and service was first class, easily the best dinner we had during our two weeks in Portugal. All of the staff were gracious and helpful. The rooms were nicely finished in period decor.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Disappointing. We did not get what we booked and paid for. The room description was for one of the larger rooms with a sofa chair, and a bathtub. Pictures also showed a balcony/deck area. Our room was tiny, no chair, no deck and no bathtub. Being 7 months pregnant I was very much looking forward to soaking in the tub so I was quite disappointed when our room only had a shower. The bed was extremely uncomfortable, you could feel the springs, and it was so hard my husband and I both woke up sore in the morning. We were unable to shower in the morning as there was no running water in the room. We couldn’t even rinse our toothbrushes or have a sip of water as we couldn’t get even a drop out. The only reason I had three stars was because the breakfast was great. Huge selection and it all tasted very good. Also we were intrigued by the pictures of the library and viewing their large selection of books. We were surprised to find that all of the books were locked behind glass doors so we couldn’t even view them. Overall I am very dissatisfied with our stay here. It was overpriced and the room descriptions were either false or we were given an incorrect room.

This was a lovely boutique hotel. Not very fancy but all the necessities for sure. The staff were very friendly. The bedrooms were spacious enough but the beds were hard as board. The parking was good and the location lovely for an afternoon drink on the terrace.

Sleepy little Sines

Unplanned side trip to Sines - great little hotel. Welcomed with great enthusiasm. Super quiet and clean. Bed was very comfortable. Didn't eat here, but food looked great and many were eating. Had drinks on the patio which was beautiful views. Breakfast was outstanding! Sines is a sleepy little town, glad we stayed a night!
