Dreadful condition hotel , in need of extensive renovation , re wiring and repairs. I genuinely believe it’s down for demolition as there is so much wrong with this building , it has been allowed to deteriorate to a terrible state .The lifts don’t work and we are on the fourth floor ! The studios are barely fit for purpose the decor is old and crumbling, furniture is old and tired , half the electric sockets don’t work (and look dangerous) neither do the most of the light fittings or the kettle . The microwave is tiny and so low powered it’s barely usable. Apart from the out door pool which looks ok the hotel has none of the amenities we were told in the booking agent’s description ie luxurious studio apartment, indoor pool , gym , on site restaurant, shop , bar and bike hire . The only redeeming feature of this dilapidated relic of a hotel is the receptionist and cleaning staff who are cheerfully doing their best in the face of insurmountable odds.

After being moved here due to issues at the hotel we originally booked, this place turned out to be even worse. The room was in terrible condition. The air conditioning unit was leaking badly, soaking the floor. One day, there was no running water for over 8 hours, and another day, there was no hot water at all. When we raised the issue, the staff lied and said it was a city-wide problem — but after asking around, we found out our hotel was the only one affected. To make matters worse, one morning the electricity wasn’t working, and the showers were flooding, overflowing onto the bathroom floor. Combined with the AC leak, the entire room felt like a hazard zone. Cleanliness was below acceptable standards, the hotel was clearly neglected, and the staff showed little care or responsibility. There was no attempt to make up for any of these serious issues. Overall, this stay was an absolute nightmare — unreliable, uncomfortable, and filled with false promises. I would strongly advise anyone to avoid this hotel entirely.

I wasn’t expecting anything luxurious from a 3-star hotel, but even with modest expectations, this stay was disappointing. The photos online are very misleading – the hotel looks much better in the pictures than it does in real life. The difference between the images and reality is quite big. The cleaning was below standard. Towels were only changed a few times during the week, and although the bed was made daily, the sheets were never changed. The worst part, however, was the noise during the night. The hotel had many young partygoers, and it was loud almost every night. It was difficult to sleep, and our children were very stressed. The atmosphere was chaotic, and it’s definitely not suitable for families. If you're looking for a calm, family-friendly place to relax, this is not it. The location of the hotel is really beautiful. There are two beaches very close by — one is about 10 minutes or even less, and the other around 12 minutes on foot. Both beaches are clean, with lovely sand and clear water, perfect for relaxing. In the area around the hotel, you’ll also find supermarkets and restaurants, which makes everything very convenient. Overall, I was happy with the location — it’s definitely one of the best parts of the stay.

I honestly have no words to describe how disgusting this hotel was. The photos do not match the reality at all. everything looked heavily edited or Photoshopped. The place had a terrible smell, everything felt dirty and falling apart, and the overall atmosphere was just awful. To make it worse, the receptionist was very rude to my husband simply because he doesn’t speak Portuguese. We felt completely misled by the online images. The only positive thing was the location, which is close to one of the beaches, but that’s about it. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
