Fantastic Stay!!!

excellent locationnearby restaurantsconvenient day tripsdirty chairs
The location is AMAZING, a mere 100 meters from the beach! I found plenty of restaurants nearby, so I had lots of choice for food. The river ferry to Ferragudo is only 400 meters away, very convenient for day trips. I had no issues getting around. A short bus ride took me to Praia de Rocha. I could leave my bags with reception after checkout until my train in the evening, very helpful!
I noticed an issue with the pool area. The pool had leaves and the chairs were dirty and partially broken. I hope the management can address this to further enhance the guest experience.
