Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were spacious and had a large balcony with stunning views of the ocean. The reception staff was lovely, but some improvements could be made with room maintenance. The location was perfect, near the beach with easy access to shops and restaurants. However, the dining options were limited, and the quality could be better.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, but lacking a chair which would have been useful. The service was welcoming and efficient, although the double room mistakenly had two single beds. The location was amazing, near the beach and quiet at night. The dining experience was ample and set us up for the day.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not so great experiences. The rooms were spotless and had all the essentials for a relaxing stay, but the AC didn't work well despite the outside heat. The location was perfect, just a few minutes from the beach and a vibrant area with lots of dining options. The service was exceptional, with staff always ready to help and address any issues promptly. The dining experience was decent but could use more variety. Overall, it was a comfortable stay with a few minor drawbacks.

The rooms were clean and cozy, with a lovely sea view from the balcony. The service was top-notch - the staff went above and beyond to ensure I had a great stay. However, the dining options were a bit limited, and the breakfast could have been better. Overall, a wonderful experience with great value for money.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room I got had a lovely sea view, though partially blocked by the casino. It was spacious and cozy, with a small table on the balcony and effective AC. The only downside was its slight isolation from other parts of the building and the outside.
The hotel is ideally located right across from the stunning beach, offering a peaceful stay away from the bustling main area. The rooms are standard and reasonable in size, though the sea view may vary. The service is prompt and friendly, with some room for improvement in certain aspects. The dining options are varied, with room for enhancement in diversity. Overall, a decent choice for a beach holiday with a few limitations.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel with some great aspects but a few drawbacks. The rooms were spacious and offered a sea view, although the bed was a bit small. After changing rooms, the ocean view improved, but it wasn't panoramic as expected.
The hotel had a lovely view of the beach and the reception staff were very nice. The room was comfortable, and the breakfast offered a good variety of options; however, there was a strong smell and noise from an extractor fan outside. The service was a mix of less friendly and some amazing, helpful staff. The location was perfect, right by Rocha beach and close to the main street with nightlife. The dining experience was good with a buffet offering a decent selection. Facilities were satisfactory, but there were no pool or bar facilities.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant with a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms offered a nice sea view and were spacious and comfortable; however, there was a horrible smell and noise from a fan extractor outside the window. The service was exceptional, with the staff going out of their way to accommodate my needs. The location, though quieter, was ideal being steps away from Praia da Rocha beach and the lively nightlife. Dining options were basic, but sufficient. The lack of pool and bar facilities was a downside.
The hotel offers a convenient location near the beach, with ample dining options nearby. The rooms are pleasant with regular maintenance, though the dining experience may not meet high expectations. The overall value for money is reasonable, given the experience.
The hotel offers clean and tidy rooms with daily towel changes but lacks spaciousness and tea-making facilities. The service, while helpful, is reported to be understaffed. The location is praised for its proximity to the beach and shopping street, although there are no pool or bar facilities on-site. The breakfast, though diverse, can feel repetitive over an extended stay.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were roomy and well-maintained, but cleanliness was lacking. Getting a seat in the room could be a challenge due to the limited space. The staff was incredibly helpful but there was some confusion with the room allocation that affected the overall comfort. The hotel's location was convenient, close to the main attractions and with a good value for money. The dining options were decent, with a good variety of choices available. Despite some shortcomings, the hotel provided a pleasant stay overall.
