"Lovely hotel about 5 minute walk from the beach. Very modern and stylish and exceptionally clean. We had a deluxe double room overlooking the pool and with a sea view. Rooms were very spacious with a large comfortable bed. Breakfast was amazing!! Close enough to walk into town and various local beaches but uber was less than 5 euros to the centre, the marina and also Praia de Luz, so easy to get around without hiring a car. Thank you to the staff who were all amazing!"
