If you can afford it, book rooms in the lodge area. The main photograph for this hotel listing is of the lodge area. It has an exclusive feel to it, with a private breakfast room, swimming pools and small gym. The rooms are very large, the bed enormous and sooooo comfortable. Furnishings are modern and new. Highlights include: Tile floors,... More

We felt that the hotel was in need of a little TLC and service was inconsistent. Our favourite spot was the lovely pool area by the Pestana Bahia Lodge area. The hotel also helped us with two great tours. One to see the dancers and the orther to the Tamar Turtle project. The hotel has great view, rooms are fairly... More

This hotel has a great location and all rooms have a superb view. Service is attentive and helpful, but the hotel administration needs to improve on a few items. The first improvement needed is in checking in: the procedure is the slowest I’ve ever seen anywhere, it took us (3 people) 20 minutes to check in, after waiting in line... More

Although it is located at the southest point of the city, allowing one to see the sunset and the sunrise from the balcony, the hotel is older than I imagined. Besides the reception service is lousy, 30 minutes to check out. More

Hotel is advertised as being good for beach vacation. It has no beach. The swimming pool is closed. I reserved a king size bed and was given twin beds and told to push them together. It took 20 minutes to get my bag delivered from reception, where there is a queue to check in like the airport. And the hotel... More

I stayed in a room with two friends during carnival. I slept in an extra bed, which wasn't unconfortable as happens most of the times. The room was big and has an amazing view. The hotel pool has great view too. The pool's restaurant service is bad, there isn't lot of options and the waiter is rude. More

The room really looks shabby. The windows and a lot of the fixtures have been corroded by the influence of the sea. Stained sheets with holes in them. The bathroom does not look great either. I aM now waiting to see if someone can fix the lock on the door which does not work. A great location wasted with a... More

I decided to stay there at last moment and did a walk in. Why I do not know, the front desk staff did everything to make it absolutely clear that I was not welcome. I took them more than half an hour to check me in. They must have a very sophisticated IT system: at a certain point, 3 staff... More
