The property was good, large pool not too packed when we stayed in September 2023. WiFi was great, TV was good, nice location, walkable and bus routes next to property. Two complaints, the buffet food was the SAME every day, not a lot of options either. Also, the shower soap was not refilled before our check-in and we ran out by our 3rd day.

Don't get alcohol here
Location is a bit difficult to get to but room was clean and the front desk staff were friendly. The bar staff though seemed out to get as much money from you as possible, also strange they didn't understand Portuguese. I was trying to order an imperial, a small beer, was told they only have corona so ordered 2 glasses, gave me two bottle priced at €6 each! That's ALOT for Portugal prices?! And small bottles?? Imperial beers are usually €2-€3. Other than that the hotel itself was fine
