"Clean and beautiful"
"This was a perfect hotel! Modern, clean rooms, lots of amenities, polite staff, a poolside bar, and a gorgeous pool!"
"Location was perfect. It was very clean and well decorated. Bed was very comfortable although I do wish they had more pillow options. The pillow for me was very low. Breakfast had the traditional Portuguese options and had a nice variety. I didn't like the coffee, but the freshly squeezed orange juice was great. I would stay here again."
