We arrived at this hotel after a long drive and having driven through a shanty-townish area to get upto it saw the lovely terrace overlooking the sea and thought we had made a good choice. We had reserved the last room in the hotel not realising or being advised that there was some “White” function on that night. As a result our room was not high up as requested, nor did it have a great view. No problem though....a lovely terrace to have a drink & relax on. Except not! Guests were not permitted onto the terrace unless they paid 10€ and wore white! Moreover the restaurant offering 360 views was closed because of the party. We had no alternative but to sit inside, whereupon the “White” party which was bursting at the seams - as were some of the outfits -invaded the inside bar and were queuing for drinks served by one poor lady serving at the bar. A lady who was there selling tours & was fluent in Portuguese managed to get our drinks served without us queuing in a line of about 30 people! We were told breakfast was included on arrival and this was marked up on out room card. Then, a member of staff came and told us it was then returned and said it was not. The room was spacious & generally clean, though the hoover had missed some bits in both the bedroom & the bathroom. The staff seemed very nice & when i explained my disappointment about not being able to enjoy the rooms they suggested i take the lift to the (albeit closed) restaurant. I think this would have been a totally different experience had this function not been going on as the hotel has great potential. Would have expected a pool in this location though.
