Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was perfectly located, with great views and close to restaurants and shops. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and spotless, although facing the street side provided a bit of noise. The staff was incredibly courteous and friendly, making the service top-notch.
The hotel rooms, with fair size and sea view balconies, need an update but offer an amazing view. Service was kind but a bit surly at times. The location, right on Praia da Rocha beach, is the standout feature. The dining options were good overall, though slightly expensive. Facilities are adequate.
The hotel has a great location, overlooking the beach and well-maintained gardens. The rooms need a refurbishment after no changes in 15 years but having a bathtub is a plus, although the lack of heating was disappointing. The service was exceptional with staff going above and beyond, offering helpful tips and even a haircut. The dining options were varied and impressive, though a bit on the expensive side. The fantastic location near the beach and walking distance to the marina and shops makes up for any shortcomings.
The hotel offers a fantastic view and is great for a relaxing stay. The sea view rooms are slightly outdated, but the location is excellent for enjoying the resort. The value for money is reasonable, though some service encounters were a bit unsettling.
The hotel's location is perfect for those wanting a quieter side near the strip, and it offers great food and cleanliness. Ideal for relaxing at the beach and pool. Rooms were small with old but nice furnishings, and the noise from the busy street affected my comfort.
