First time in Portugal and this was a great area to stay. Beautiful sandy beach, water was warm enough to swim in mid-October. Shops and restaurants are within 5-7 minutes walk from the hotel where you can find a lot of different souvenirs. If you continue walking for about 30 minutes, you will get to the light house and marina. I recommend visiting Fish museum and 3D Art museum, if you are with children. We have arranged Zoomarine and speed boat trip to caves via the hotel and it was reasonably priced. However, at the marina you can find many kiosks offering different tours and packages including pick up from the hotel. Zoomarine is fantastic and there is a lot to do even if you don't get to swim, We did not like the hotel, because it is not the best option for families with children: there was no entertainment. At the pool it was boring and the water was freezing. Pool is deep, but there is a small pool for younger children. Indoor pool belongs to the gym and costs extra, so we have not used it. Rooms are large and cleaned daily. Receptionists are very friendly. There is a luggage room and the safe in the room. There are 4 lifts, but probably get busy during the season. The food was not the best - try to eat if you can; glad we did not go for all inclusive. There are many decent places to eat around. Location: 5 stars Hotel and restaurant: 2 stars
