This is a really splendid hotel. It is situated right on a cliff in the Atlantic Ocean, facing the south. The sea view is stunning. The rooms are in a very good condition and are well maintained. We had a room with a kitchenette and there could be made a remark: there is too little equipment for a real, even... More

I have owned timeshare here for 20 years and as you can expect the timeshare apartments are beginning to look a little old fashioned but they are clean and well maintained. One thing that doesn't deteriorate however, is the view! Every apartment here has a sea view. We always sleep with the patio doors open and fall asleep to the... More

The staff was the most friendly. The rooms were spacious and very cosy. There were lot of space at pool area. The pool could have been... More

The hotel is just a few metres from the sea. The breakfast buffet was good. Staff very friendly and eager to help.

My feelings about this pestana aparthotel are mixed. Compared to several other Pestana Hotel i have been to, this is probably the lowest rated. However, put in the context of being an aparthotel and not a luxurious hotel, i have to say this hotel does exactly what it says on the tin. Hotel facilities are above some other low quality... More
