Nice friendly staff. The public areas are kept spotless clean but the room cleaning is not as good as I expected. The bed was very comfortable but we asked for a double bed and got 2 singles pushed together. Food is good but a little repetitive as the menu seems very limited. On the whole a nice hotel, but starting to look a little dated.

Loved this hotel! Stunning views from the balcony, brilliant staff, food was pretty good and served warmer than you often get in all inclusive, so that was great. Entertainment in the bar every night. Two pools and a jacuzzi. Rooms were large with comfortable seating and a large telly. Balcony is great. Just 2 draw backs, the beds are quite hard, and there are fans rather than air-conditioning, so the nights can be warm, but that is definitely a price worth paying!

This hotel was CLOSED when we got there for major refurbishment or whatever. Neither Hotels.com nor Pestana contacted us beforehand to advise us of this, so we had to sort out our night’s accommodation for ourselves. SHAME on you Hotels.com
