"Great location, no traffic,plenty of bars, cafes, restaurants and shops. Hotel provides free WiFi and pool towels. Water provided. Air conditioning. Room very clean.Some friendly staff, others need to smile more. Coffee machine at breakfast great! Margherita pizzas were good! Negatives- on check in, not told about ferry to Spain, land train to beach, WiFi password,breakfast, events that were happening in the square- very poor communication. Room was a classic but very basic, ‘mini bar’was a campervan fridge, not offered upgrade or given wine in room as per booking on arrival. Mattress was firm. Mould in shower. Pools didn’t look or smell clean. Property looking tired in places, needing new flooring, carpet, plants dead on rooftop, rooftop plunge pool in red, table broken on rooftop bar, Breakfast ..minimum offerings. Ok stay for a couple of nights stay."

Lic 11363/AL Wonderful 6 bed 5 bath house with heatable pool close to beach

8/10 Good
"We were very pleased with our stay overall. The house is spacious, the pool is excellent and larger than expected, and the location is a major strength. It is in a quiet area, a short walk from a lovely beach. Monte Gordo is also walkable or around 6 by taxi; we recommend visiting in the evening when it is much livelier. The local supermarket and bakery were excellent, with larger supermarkets a short taxi ride away.The kitchen was well equipped, although dated, and the beds were adequate rather than particularly comfortable. Mosquitoes were noticeable, so come prepared with repellent and plug-in deterrents.The room layout is not clear in the listing. The first floor has three en-suite rooms: a twin with its own terrace and two doubles sharing a sunny terrace. The ground floor has a twin without an en-suite but with a nearby bathroom. Downstairs are two doubles: one en-suite with a courtyard, while the other has no en-suite or air conditioning.The games room has a pull-out bed, but we would not use it as a bedroom as it also lacks air conditioning. It is dated, the air hockey barely worked and you need to bring darts, although the table football was good.We watched the solar eclipse from the roof terrace, which was memorable, but it has no furniture and is not set up for regular use. We also would not recommend the nearby beach venue, as we were not allowed to have drinks without ordering food.Overall, a great property with a fantastic pool and location"
