We spent a weekend with our kids at this very nice hotel. The rooms are spacious and services very attentive. Upon reservation they already made reservations for a taxi with a child seat to pick us up at the airport. Allowed as a late checkout without any problems. Had several umbrellas to lend during rainy days. Served a very good... More

We were in Praia do Forte few years ago and stayed at Pousada da Lua. We liked. But this time it was sold and we stayed in this one instead. It is also located on the beach and beside Porto da Lua! What a great surprise. We liked better than Porto da Lua. We stayed upstairs with pool view and... More

We've stayed in this beautiful hotel in November. The rooms were very cute, clean, cosy and comfortable. The leisure areas were also very clean and pleasant places to hang around. Their pina colada was the best I've ever drank! Congrats for the girls in the bar for that :) Overall everything ticked the box, the location was perfect considering tranquility... More

The pousada is in a perfect location, next to the beach, and close to the village centre. The pool is great, and the rooms very well maintained. We stayed in a room for a night, and then in a villa, both were nice. Food was good. I am not sure it was great value for money though, the rooms were... More

My family and I stayed at this hotel in March this year. We enjoyed the hotel and Praia do Forte Beach, with it's very charming fishing village. We recommend the hotel not only for couples but for families with children (there are cots and highchairs for infants). Clean and spacious rooms, excellent service, fabulous location (facing the sea), near the... More

Me and my husband stayed there with our one year old baby after the Carnival hollidays (that means quiet period) and the hotel is simply great. Perfect location (in front of the beach and a few meters of the village), tasty and home taste food (the breakfast in unforgetable). The swimming pool is just in front of the rooms (try... More

Basic, but very peaceful, with stunning ocean views. If you want a quiet retreat, this place is (currently) ideal. There is nothing like starting the day witha walk along a destered golden beach. Our beach front bungalow was large, clean but rustic in feel. Don't expect five star glamour, but if you want charm and authenticity you won't leave dissapointed.... More

Great accommodation, great location! We stayed at the “Pousada Farol das Tartarugas” at the beginning of april/2008 for ten wonderful days. The rooms are very spacious and clean, with good air conditioning and mini bar. The bathroom is very simple, but also clean. The accommodation has a tropical touch with lots of wood, and a balcony with a hammock .... More
