Great stay more or less, our 3rd time so definitely recommend. Positives:
Nice sized updated room with great wood floors, good lighting & storage, extra seating area & desk. Comfortable robes (and little Snickers!) provided, great shower & innovative vanity area. Cable TV had great channels to throw on movie to sleep to. Parking on-site & very close to the room via elevator. Small gym but usable for short time. Fantastic breakfast for such a small hotel. We had a friend join us for a breakfast, the amazing lady at the front wouldn't let me pay for him... how sweet is that !! (maybe I should be quiet about this haha)
Negatives:
>hard mattress, for the price should be better
>fridge was off- understandable, but to turn it on you have to move the desk completely and crawl around to unplug a lamp to plug it in. Kind of ridiculous and an easy fix.
>only the restaurant has amazing views of the lagoon/sea, all the rooms have windows that open up to parking for the condos next door. Probably not the hotel developer's fault, the more I have come to understand historic building restoration in Portugal.
