The senior studio with 1 bedroom and lounge was our preferred choice. We used the breakfast bar to make snacks and we appreciated the coffee maker and fridge. We made tea by boiling water in a pan. About 30 channels on the TV came in handy on wet days. About six English language channels but CNN and BBC World were... More

I stayed here with my Husband, 3 year-old and 9 month old... The hotel was very clean... room cleaned every day, bedding changed every 3 days (unless you asked for a bed change which the cleaner happily did for us) and clean towels every morning. Very comfortable rooms and suitable for cooking snacks (2 hot rings, microwave with grill, saucepans,... More

The apartment was quite spacious for just 2 of us but I do agree with a lot of the other comments. The staff were dour, it was quite noisy (mainly the furniture on the floors from... More

We were disappointed in this hotel. We knew the location and prefer its quieter beach to that of Praia da Rocha which is really Blackpool with sunshine. The walk to Praia da Rocah takes 20 minutes along a lovely clifftop promenade. The hotel was functional and clean with the smallest pool I have ever seen and hardly enough room to... More

I would have to say this hotel is more a 3 star than a 4 star. Yes the rooms are modern and clean. (not quite so impressed with the cleaners though), however the food left a lot to be desired. Breakfast was really really basic, and unless you fancied a walk in the mornings there really was no other alternative.... More

This was the first trip away for us as a family (my wife and our 2 kids, aged 2.5 and 6 months). Our requirements were for a destination that was no more then 2.5 hrs flight away from london, less than 60 mins transfer time from airport, near a beach, good for kids, clean and provided good food. We booked... More

Functional and close to the beach. The dishwasher was a good surprise. There was some noise though.

Myself and my boyfriend stayed here for a week at the end of May '07. We had booked through budget travel and were definitely happy we picked this hotel over the other accomodation they offered. Its about a 20 minute walk to praia da rocha, you can walk along the coast road or take the main road (coast road is... More
