  • Rude people who speak loudly or slam the door of their room early in the morning or move the furniture on their terrace at midnight...

The location is one of a kind, with rooms overlooking the ocean and the beach. The waves continuously hit the shore while surfers do their best. You're a 5min walk to Guincho beach. The room feels like an old fort padded with comfort. The staff is attentive while staying discrete. My partner has coeliac disease; we told them while ordering dinner, and they assured us the cooks would make it their responsibility. We had a card outlining cross-contamination issues, and the importance of ingredients labeled "Might contain gluten"; they took it upon themselves to go photocopy it and provide it to the kitchen. From then on they forthcomingly proposed Gluten-free alterations, including gluten-free bread during breakfast, and all future meals. They prepared especially-cut fruits to avoid cross-contamination.

Unique

I don't often leave written reviews, but I think this hotel deserves a special mention. Starting with the wonderful location on a cliff overlooking the ocean, you feel like you're staying at the edge of the world. The restaurant staff were great, professional and friendly, food was delicious and made with great care and taste. The room was fully equipped with comfortable bed and stunning view. Also cleanliness at a very high level. I think the place is truly unique and fully met all my expectations.

Very Good

A very unique place for a short beautiful getaway while in Portugal.

The room was very nice and clean. The hotel itself is unique, and the seaside location is beautiful. The staff were very helpful and extremely friendly. I heard the breakfast was good, but we missed it.
