“We wont be back, that's for sure!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 June 2011

It's easy to get there and the Hotel is close to the beach, and those are its most valuable features, besides being close to Peniche, a village that's trully a paradise for fish lovers.
A part from this, although it looks lovely on pictures, the Hotel is far from providing a 3 stars service. The staff is not friendly, properly trained and deffinitely doesn't know how to meet a costumer's needs.
The problems started the minute we arrived. Since there are no rooms with sea view, we booked one with pool view (and that was assured to us). In the end we got a ground floor facing two white walls and sandy field (no signs of pool at all).
The room was fine, although it had some security issues and the air conditioning was not working properly. The bathroom was flooding (we warned the staff and where totally ignored) and we couldn't use the shower at all (only the bathtub).
The facilities seemed great, however the playroom was poorly equiped (most of it was ruined), and there was deffinitely too much chlorine in the swimming pool and jacuzzi water, making it almost impossible to be there for more than an hour.
The brakfasts were ok (although there were no towels on the tables, just paper sheets), but the restaurant service (specially the self-service) is a mess, leaving the gest with very few options, besides chips and beans.
I guess by the comment above it seems like we are very exquisite people, but I can assure you that's not true. I love to travel and I use to camp. I'm Portuguese and I've been to all sort of places, including several other 3 star Hotels in Portugal (some of them with amazing services) and this one is for sure one of the worst.

Room Tip: Good luck with that.

“Good for value”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 June 2010

I travelled to this hotel with my spouse for a week end getaway and we think first of all this is a good hotel for the value. The room was nice, the staff polite and the breakfast good..
The pool needs some improvements.
The sorroundings are very beautifull: Baleal, Carvoeiro cape...
Peniche food is wonderful

“Good value for money, but in need of outside redecorating”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2008

The hotel is supposed to have a great pool scene, but it didn't, at least not at the time of year we were there, which is a few weeks before the summer season starts. All the same I cannot imagine how they can make the outdoor pool area attractive within a month or so. It looked quite shabby on the pool side (back side), but really nice on the front side. Inside everything is nice and clean, and the service is OK. An average twin bed room for €48 a night, breakfast included, is reasonable in my opinion. The restaurant was open only during normal meal hours i.e. breakfast, lunch and dinner, while the bar was open all day. The hotel is situated a short distance from the beach, and a short distance from a nine hole golf course. It has its own tennis court, which looked good. All in all a nice hotel, but don't expect any luxury.

“Avoid it!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 April 2008

Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. It is of very poor quality. The rooms are very basic and have seen better days. The outdoor pool is a joke I wouldn't put my dog into it it was filthy. The decor is in need of updating. In fact the whole hotel needs a total refurbishment.

The meals were awful breakfasts were basic and cooked meals were cold. Dinner was also awful with cold food laid out ages before and not very appetising.

The hotel is also quite a distance from anywhere worth visiting. The camping site opposite is not the best view in the world and the surrounding woods are a home for stray dogs who bark all night. Take my advice avoid this hotel.
