Clean though very basic. Do not rely on the airport shuttle as it does not arrive to collect you as I discovered and phone numbers at hotel do not get answered. ##### Anthony Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Francisco 8 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ferias calmas perto da praia Calma e seguranca ##### Francisco Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 26 Jan 2019 Liked: Staff & service Nice hotel, with great rooms, nice staff and good location. Two problems however: (1) while the room was great, the bathroom was miserable (it badly needs refreshing), and (2) the price is relatively high and there was little negotiation even though the hotel is was empty. I had to pay an extra 70$ per night for a small extra bed for my 10yo son. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 13 Mar 2017 Liked: Room comfort #### OK hotel Internet was lacking and breakfast menu could use some work.
