Great morning buffet, well-kept restaurant for a small lunch or a good, solid dinner, clean rooms, large sunny balcony.
We'd love to come back!

A 4 star hotel that is perfect for the country we are in. We only booked with breakfast so we could do more activities but I don't know if it offers the all-inclusive option. Very friendly and helpful staff, rooms with air conditioning and minibar. You cross the street and there is the beach, quality-price ratio a little high for the type of hotel but recommendable. Quality and varied breakfast with omelettes and fried eggs made live.

Great hotel, in a very good location, 5 mins from the beach and about 15 - 20 mins walk from the centre of Santa Maria. The whole complex is very well kept. Rooms are comfortable with air con and individual terraces. Bedding changed nearly every day, towels changed every second day. Rooms kept spotless. Mini bar is well stocked and reasonable prices. I went half board, breakfast was good. The dining room was excellent with attentive staff.. Food was very good a reasonable choice on half board and you could pay to go ala carte which I did enjoy a couple of times. A small selection of wines and beers but of good quality at reasonable prices. The resturant was silver service and very clean. The food was very tasty. Entertainment was low key, local artists usually singers and dancers with small bands supporting all very good. There is a large well kept pool with pleny of quality sun lounges in well kept groumds. WiFi is free, there is a free gym, free Yoga lessons. There is also a Spa. The staff are all friendly and heloful. If you are looking for quality hotel that wont break the budget and is nice and relaxed the Dunas is the place for you.

We stayed Sunday 12th - till Sunday 19th January in room 307 -rooms were spotlessly cleaned daily by housekeeping, bed was very comfortable, and had a great view on the 3rd floor over the hotel grounds and swimming pool. Good choice of breakfast, which was varied daily, fruit, pastries, savoury and omelette station, Great selection of tea's.(Stassen my favourite)- we stayed B&B although you can choose lunch and dinner if you wish. Staff were very friendly and helpful- you can arrange trips from the Front desk, which are reasonable priced. Although the hotel is not on the beech front, is just a couple of minutes and the hotel has 10-12 umbrella and lay beds on the beach area - which are complimentary to hotel guests. Gardens are well laid out and well kept by the gardens. The hotel is a nice stroll some 10minutes by road or you can walk alone the beech side promenade into town- many restaurants catering for all tastes and price ranges. Would certainly recommend and if in the area again would book without hesitation. Thanks for a great stay. Keith & Partner P.S. on Tuesday's & Fridays - Yoga sessions - which were great and relaxing. Also very handy - hotel has ATM machine - which saves the walk into town for the banks.

Went for 5 nights, we were happy with the location and the perfect size of the hotel. Walking distance into Santa Maria, and all the rooms overlooked the pool. Although we had booked Bed and breakfast, we had dinner a couple of times and both were really good. The only thing was dinner was alittle on the cold, would have been perfect if it was served at the right tempreture. Room was clean and spacious and staff were very friendly.

After a long flight we arrived to find our room was not ready, we had to wait 3 hours which is really unacceptable as they knew what time we were arriving. Other than that we had a fabulous holiday. Room was clean, bed comfy. Clean towels every day. Pool area was clean, pool bar had plenty of food and drinks available from morning till 8pm. Restaurant had a good variety of food available. I would recommend this hotel and even though it was a bit far from the beach and town I would visit again.

Nice enough hotel with a wonderful location and superb breakfast. The rooms are spacious and bathrooms have a bathtub which was nice. The pool and gardens are well maintained as well. Communication with hotel prior to arrival was stressful. Too many emails sent explaining we didn’t have a reservation and had not paid when I. Fact we had. No apology given for the 6 emails sent making that awful mistake. However staff was kind and helpful.
