“The hotel had a special atmosphere and the restaurant was fantastic. My room had a work desk, multi-channel TV, and a sitting area. The bed was so comfortable I slept great. Location was stunning, not far from Praia do Carneiro Beach, with a supermarket and shopping street right next door. Very clean – I'd happily stay longer.”
